I’ll tell you my opinion. I started with Defold almost as a complete beginner. I knew the programming logic thanks to the visual scripting tool Scratch, but that was all. I tried to penetrate various game engines, mostly I had a problem with clutter and a more complex programming language. Then I came across Defold and I was thrilled by David Chadwick’s instructions. It was a fight, it was a difficult journey, but at the age of 15 I can say that I became a good programmer, I did procedural island generation using Perlin noise, path finding, I implemented trigonometric functions and learned a lot of things. And not because of simple tutorials, but because of the people here on the forum and shared projects. I learned to learn, to understand code, without anyone explaining it to me completely. And it’s very important to me. If I told it to an beginner now, he probably wouldn’t choose Defold, maybe one of ten. Defold is simply different, it is not for everyone, but that is also its strength.
