Developing a game vs Shipping a game


Games have to be designed for the top charts

Time to actually start playing

Battery drain

Network performance

Storage consumption



We made our internal technology public and free



I am not converting you to #Defold whatsoever



King and external teams enjoy Defold when they• Are making a mainly 2D game

• Care about multiplatform

• Care about HTML5

• Care about tools just working

• Care the game works fast, loads fast, looks good

• Have a programmers centered team:

• Scripting is in Lua - 5.1 atm

• Rendering loop is open – OpenGL

• Vertex and Fragment shaders – GLSL

• Profiling on the device and remotely

• Debugging on device with ZeroBrane



• Games have to be designed for the top grossing charts

• Poor runtime performance may spoil all your marketing and operation efforts

• King has shared big part of internal tools as Defold game engine to showcase the technical excellence

• Defold is awesome for 2D cross-platform games designed to perform well on low-end devices and web

The take away


Thank you!Oleg Pridiuk, Evangelist, King
