Comment on Defold - Win/Mac/Linux/Android/iOS game engine

Comments

It would be interesting to see someone compare this with the Unity Game engine. Also I think there should be atleast a handful of screenshots on their website, to give their prospective users an idea of what it looks like, before downloading.

Thanks for the feedback, we obviously need to improve the amount of info on the site. I would say the biggest pros compared to Unity is that you can change your games while they run on your mobile devices, without needing to rebuild/restart which gives an iteration-cycle of about 1 second. We have also specialized the toolset of 2D (tiled graphics etc), but the engine is 3D behind the scenes. We are a service so the pricing is completely different. The biggest con is of course that Unity has been around for much longer so they have a bigger feature set, larger community and proven technology. But we will get there in time. :)

Thank you for the clarification :)
