Can I achieve this kind of game in Defold?

Questions
#1

Well, i’m a big fan of survival games. And i love 2d design. I have some projects in Gamemaker and Defold but i don’t know the real capabilities of it.

Well, me and 5 friends want to make a survival game in Defold.

Basically, it’s a big/large project.

The game will be like Zero Sievert, which you can check here:

But I want to do it Multiplayer with 50 people in the room.

Large and openworld map, buildings, thirst, hunger, health, creatures, tons of sprites.

About graphics, we are thinking in something like this:

We do not want to make it pixelized.

The million dollar question is…

Is it possible in Defold?

I’m asking it because the main focus of Defold is performance and scalability

Before dig deeper and study this tool, i need your help.

Yes, we have cartoonists and 2 programmers.

Thanks in advance.

definitely could, but a lot of the shader stuff the programmers may need to figure that out for themselves. Research into things that can save space such as bundle resources and live update content if you think your game may need it.

I think it is possible to make that kind of game in Defold.
I am not sure it is practicable for any six people to make that kind of game in any thing, at least not in a reasonable time frame, this is just a guess, it would be excellent if you could.

Definitely possible. It is a big undertaking though, but with enough determination it is possible for sure.

There are plenty of games with a similar art style in the showcase: Defold Games Showcase
