04/27/2017, 2:35 PMDoesn't it use RoboVM for other platforms?

jk
04/27/2017, 2:53 PMi think they switched to use the open source version or MOE, so you can still deploy to ios

04/27/2017, 2:53 PMThat doesn't make it easy to choose libGDX over anything else.

04/27/2017, 2:54 PMSure, that's fine. I want problems while writing frontend come from complexity of the game, not from some issues with tools.

04/27/2017, 2:56 PMI’m writing a game with libgdx, and have liked being able to use a true entity-component system over Unity’s interpretation
jk
04/27/2017, 2:56 PMbut I agree the lack of RoboVM makes it much less attractive than it used to be
