Future Version Compatibility

[Owellow]

If I start building a game now, in 1.9, do you foresee a scenario where I would have to redo a ton (or all) of stuff after updating to a future release? Beta/final/etc..

 

thanks!

Nope (: jc and kibbelz always write a updater tool/update guide and no matter what you can always manually update (people here have gone from 1.0 to 1.9 on projects it's totally fine (:

I have updated every version, up to the current 1.9, without any loss of data or issue.

One of the beauties of the newer language is unlike older engines like Mirage built in VB6, i that the newer languages are smarter about how they serialize types. On older engines changing any data in the middle of a class would break the data and require a manual conversion. The newer languages are smarter about this. So as long as JCS doesn't do anything drastic you should be good, even then he would probably write up a manual updater if it was required.

Beautiful. Thanks a bunch!
