Introduce yourself

#182

Welcome, David! :slight_smile:

If you’re up for some reading, the Introduction manual explains the core concepts and philosophy behind Defold—it’s also a gateway read into heavier manuals. Furthermore, the tutorials are a great way to delve into the engine and learn by doing.

There are also some great community resources as well—gamefromscratch.com, for example, has an always-expanding selection of text and video tutorials.

And if you’re new to Lua, here’s a big list of Lua resources, compiled by @Pkeod.

There’s of course a lot more out there—but this might be enough to get started.

Welcome @Moodge! Axel has already covered many great learning resources, but please also consider our former colleague @andreas.strangequest and his Live Coding recordings. We’re also doing Defold trainings from time to time. We just did an open Defold introduction in London and we have a full day training coming up in Stockholm.

Do you know if the Stockholm training is going to be recorded?

We will go to where the developers are. If we can get enough game developers together in a room it doesn’t matter where they are.

Hopefully yes, but not certain yet. I will try to make it happen though @Oleg_The_Evangelist might know more.

Some dynamic linking is happening here. I feel like native extension now.

At this point we can assume we’ll record, cut and put out Stockholm training to YouTube. Also at this point I am working hard on making more online streams. But notice how my tone is suggesting something may be fishy =] We have a recording infrastructure that is easy to use, but we often cannot use King’s video team to cut and polish the video streams, meaning a bunch of Defold geeks will need to do it. But then again, we have the will, and lets see how it goes.

Hi, I am Diba. I am a game designer and even though not a programmer, I really like to learn about game engines. Recently, I learned Game Maker Studio and Construct2.
Lua is completely new for me, so, I think I have a lot to go :slight_smile:
Regards.

Hello! I first started programming using Corona SDK, but I disliked the lack of visual editor. I then spent 5 years creating games and small apps using Construct 2 (including getting one title onto Steam, which was hard work…!). I have also toyed with making Javascript plugins for Construct 2, but I think that engine is on the decline and need to get away. I also like Lua… So I hope to have fun learning to use Defold!!

Hi everybody. Welcome from France. I’m just a hobbyist.
After 200 liters of coffee and 26 aspirins, I managed to create a running game in java in my spare time.

I worked with kids before, and I try to put the educational games I made at that time in android form.

Just staring here, I appreciate the community help. If someone want to use my ideas to make games, why not ?

Hi all - just a quick post to introduce myself.

I’ve been messing about with game dev for a couple of years - purely as a hobbyist - and looking to get into learning a bit of code. I’m only really interested in developing for mobile platforms, so this engine seemed a good fit.

Look forward to asking a few questions at some point and getting to know the community here.
