I'm not choosing Flutter and Flame because I think they're superior in any way. It's the other way around. Problem is I have almost no time for learning a new language and a completely new platform and type of software. For me the question becomes "is the technology I know well good enough to do this?". If the answer is yes, I'm more than happy to try. Then if game development is something I really want to get serious about, I'll absolutely jump into Unity / Unreal Engine or better engines in general. I was also considering Bevy, a Rust engine. But that is for when I have better knowledge in Rust and game dev.

Would Flutter Flame by @BlueFireOSS be enough (performance wise) for creating an indie game like Hollow Night Silksong or am I just dreaming?

Advent of Code has now started! 🎅 Join the Dart leaderboard if you're doing Dart (and are not using LLMs). You can also join the Blue Fire discord server, where we have a channel dedicated for hanging out and talking about the solutions.

On Monday this year's Advent of Code starts, and as usual we're having a Dart leaderboard! 🥳 If you are planning to do the puzzles in Dart, join the Dart leaderboard using this invite code: 425912-8e09f2ba

I made a little 3D dice-rolling demo in Flutter. Real physics, dynamic shadows and Flutter widgets rendered behind the 3D scene. Build using flame and flame_3d #FlameEngine #flutterdev

Congratulations to Lisette for winning Flame's birthday contest! 🥳🥳 The contest was about creating a Flame splash screen, in Flame of course. This was their submission:

Someone asked if it can be animated, and it's almost expected. 😊 Here is a simple example of what it could looks like:

Today is Flame's 8th birthday!! 🥳 Since our graphical media master Renan was busy today I (Lukas) very nicely fixed up last years media. 😅 This year's contest is to create a Flame splash screen.🔥 The winner gets a Flame Care Package! Deadline: 2025-10-26 23:59 CET (Sunday)

The Flame care package contains things like a Flame t-shirt, a gamepad, stickers and a few secret items. 😏

Now I am wondering if I can use the realtime widget inspection to work for Flame components as well in @DreamflowApp 🤔 Unintentional Flame Visual Editor when?

Has anyone tried the Flutter + Flame game "The Darkblade" by Mikalyh? You can get it on Steam! 🔥 youtube.com/watch?v=ztc2kb…
