Defold performance against godot

Hello, I’m a fan of video games and I would like to create my own and just to ask in this forum how the performance of defold compares with that of the godot engine since when comparing the games that have been created in each one it seems that defold did not have so much performance please help me i really like defold a lot and its focus is going to be 2d

Well, I just released this on Steam:

(The free demo is still available.)

It runs pretty well with hundreds of enemies and bullets and explosions… In fact, I think the largest performance issues are due to my code - not Defold.

Defold does not have a performance problem. Where did you hear that?

Hello @Jairo_andres_Ospino!
Like you, I built several apps with both Defold and Godot. From my experience, Defold is more performant and, quite important, too, the build sizes are much smaller.

actually if you want performance defold is the choice I made games using godot and I switched to defold for better performance on mobile and also if you want better 3d maybe you can use godot defold has 3d support and even better performance than godot but godot still have better 3d feature and defold better performance because more low level control:
more low level = better performace

There is no good or bad apple in this game. Every game has its own needs. Most of the time, you can build any kind of a game by using any kind of engine. If you have a serious idea and you are serious about developing it then you should do your own tests according to your needs.
( I love Defold and its performance is great anyways :slight_smile: )
