Decided to try out a game engine for once. #defold

Hopefully as things go smooth I might write a small blog about how it felt using it.

Going to #gamescom2023 Currently waiting for the (delayed) plane.

Okay, here I am. #godot #defold #gamedev

Playing with auto generating Java/JNI bindings for the new atlas packer.

Doing it manually is subtly error prone and boring/time consuming source of issues.

@hawthornbunny Lua rocks! Love2D, Defold, and Solar2D are all game dev solutions that use Lua as their primary scripting language... Pico-8 is a blast, but if you want to break out of that virtual console and still hold on to the slick ease of Lua, check them out (if you haven't already)!

The boss looks a bit lifeless because it's just a sprite floating around. Going to try modularising(?) so it has moving parts and destructable sections. A lot more work though #gamedev #defold #shmup #STG
