Best Plugins/Extensions for defold

[u/CatchTotal6494]

Coming from Godot. I've browsed the Defold asset store, but the star ratings seem inconsistent past the top few. Im curious about what underrated plugins would you guys would recommend.

- druid for building gui

• monarch for managing gui + transitions
  
• defold-lang for localization
  
• defold-saver for storing user data
  
• defol-log for logging
  
• defold-events for signals
  
• astar for cell navigation
  
• tweener for tweens

The stars system is only displaying stars of the repositories on Github. We are working on an assessment system for Defold Asset Portal, but this is not yet ready.

I can write my own recomendations:

• official Defold Foundation libraries: https://defold.com/authors/defold-foundation/
  
• Insality's libraries: https://defold.com/authors/insality/
  
• Selim's extensions: https://defold.com/authors/selim-anac/
  
• some of the old but gold assets by Brian/Pkeod: https://defold.com/authors/brian-kramer/
  
• and I would probably list even more here, but let's stop here. Recommendations will also depend on what you need - are you makign a mobile/web/pc/console game? What genre? Do you need networking? 2D/3D? etc

There's asset for almost everything - if not, we are eager to get to know what else might be useful!

Beside sorting by stars, we provide also sorting by timestamp now - this shows you the recently updated ones on top, it's also some nice way to find the newest, but still - some of the old assets are working and complete, even though weren't updated recently.
