We're working on a few updates for the 3D third-person sample playground:
🎮 gamepad support
🕹️better controls
🎶sounds
📈and performance optimizations
We’ve been delighted to see people using the sample to kick-start their own projects, and we plan to create more samples like this in the future - with an FPS sample coming next!
Defold is very good at making the edit-test loop fast.
Hot Reload works in your running game without rebuilding everything 🔥
You can change scripts, assets, GUI files, collections, materials, and many other project resources, then hot reload them quickly.
Here, we’re testing different parameters for a cascaded shadow mapping implementation in the upcoming FPS template.

Want your animations to feel better?
Easings are what you need.
Check out our easing (tweens) example directly in browser to discover the different functions available in Defold out of the box and see how they can change the feel of movement, UI experience, and gameplay feedback.
A small change in easing can make a big difference - from snappy and responsive to smooth or playful.

A nice #opensource Defold project to check out:
Slasher by Dragosha ⚔️
It’s a stylish 2.5D prototype with simple lighting, a level loader, hero controller, monsters, basic AI, and support for keyboard, touch and gamepad input.
It was recently updated, and it’s a great example to learn how to build a focused, well-structured project.
Take a look!
