On: Here's why King gave away its 2D mobile game engine Defold

[Svoka]

Just to be clear 1) all Clojure and other goodness have nothing to do with the game engine. It is editor only. 2) it's not even editor one can download - instead you'll get something based on Eeclipse, which has nothing to do with what is in video 3) Weirdly overcomplicated system around something others (like Corona) was doing for at least 3 years already

It is the 2.0 version of the editor. It will come out eventually. (disclosure: I work with these guys)

Thanks for the context, I was not aware of any of these things!

Not sure if I agree with the "weirdly overcomplicated system" comment though, it looks like a fairly elegant system to me?

[Svoka → vanderZwan]

ok. Elegant, future system, not tested in real world, seen only in youtube video. P.S. I'm actually looking forward seeing it. Pardon my scepticism.
