Scottish Game Development Studio 8BitSkull Partners with Defold
Scottish indie studio 8BitSkull has signed a corporate partnership with the Defold Foundation, committing to co‑develop new features for the Defold game engine. The collaboration will focus on performance upgrades and desktop‑specific functionality that 8BitSkull will use in upcoming titles and that will be rolled out to all Defold users via regular releases. The move follows 8BitSkull’s decade‑long reliance on Defold, highlighted by recent hits like Void Scrappers and Skull Horde. Defold gains a high‑profile advocate while strengthening its open‑source roadmap.
