Defold1.13.2

Defold lets developers create, test, and ship 2D and 3D games from one codebase for desktop, web, mobile, and consoles. Its all-in-one workflow reduces the need to maintain separate projects and toolchains for different targets while keeping the engine footprint small. The editor provides Lua scripting with a built-in debugger, native extensions, fast builds, Hot Reload, a profiler, and Live Update support.

Developers can customize the engine and editor, add functionality through the Asset Portal, write native code, or create a local build environment. Editor Scripts and UI customization support tailored workflows, and the interface is available in English, Russian, Chinese, and Portuguese. Integrations with Atom, VS Code, Rive, Spine, TexturePacker, Tiled, analytics, app-economy services, platform services, and SDKs connect common production tools and backends.

The same project can target desktop, web, mobile, and consoles, while Xbox support is marked as coming soon. Defold suits developers building games for multiple platforms, with tutorials, manuals, courses, videos, examples, and community help guiding newcomers from a first project to working features. The editor is ready without setup or registration, and technical support contracts are available for teams that need them.

On macOS, version 1.13.2 is intended for Apple Silicon (arm64). Defold is freeware with source available under a developer-friendly license, carries no runtime or other fee, and is actively developed with a new release each month.
