Why indie devs use King's Defold game engine
summary
King's Defold engine is pitched as a compact, release-focused toolkit that targets fast startup and low-end devices, not a beginner drag and drop editor. It already shows traction with 30+ games in under a year, a working HTML5 export and native pipelines for Android and iOS, and new tooling: C++ extensions and cloud build plus a modern editor. The model lets creators publish extensions and keeps 100% revenue to library authors, and the platform actively supports live content updates.
