Looking for a complete, complex Defold game source project

Questions
1

Hi everyone,

I’m learning Defold and I already have experience with other engines like Unity and Cocos Creator. I can understand the basic Defold tutorials now, but I’m looking for something much bigger and more complete to study the real project architecture.

What I want is a full Defold game source project, ideally one with a more complex structure, for example:

  • a lobby / main menu
  • multiple sub-games or game modes
  • popups and modal windows
  • player profile or account UI
  • leaderboard / ranking integration
  • modular resource loading
  • cross-platform considerations
  • possibly native extensions or SDK integration

I’m especially interested in projects that show how to organize a larger Defold codebase in a practical way, not just small API demos or simple tutorial samples.

I’m open to:

  • free open-source projects
  • commercial projects or paid source code
  • recommendations from the community

If you know any complete Defold games or strong reference projects that fit this, I’d really appreciate any recommendations.

Thanks in advance.

I don’t know of any open source Defold games which tick all of the above boxes.

The games from Ben James are smaller, but not tiny, and there is a lot of them to study:

Cosmic Dash might be worth studying too:

I think this is what you are looking for, probably on the the largest scale for a free project you can find on defold: SuperWEIRD Game Kit by Luden.io
