Hi all - after making a couple of games using Defold, I decided to actually publish one in Google Play and App Store.
After a few hiccups that helped me learn things (but still running a signed dev .ipa on a Simulator on Apple silicon eludes me!), I managed to publish my game.
It’s a daily phrase decryption game that only supports Greek (the infrastructure for English is there, I just haven’t gotten to adding English content). It has online features like leaderboards, cloud save and account reset - these are implemented using Supabase.
Overall Defold was really nice to work with. The REST API calls worked effortlessly, the GUI animations were also easy to do, the messaging system fitted the game perfectly.
I had some issues with async calls and receiving them (I ended up counting responses) and some issues with the rewarded ads I implemented for the last bonus level every day, but overall, it was a very pleasant experience.
The game’s title is Εν κρυπτώ, which is read En crypto in English and means “in hiding”.
The game being in Greek won’t actually be worth downloading for most of you, but here go the store links:
