Quick question with the data format of unreleased (internal) betas like the current 1.1: is it possible to compile offline versions of these betas for testers to use offline? Or does the data format (or time to compile them) make it too difficult?
I only ask as I’d like to continue playing the same game and preserve that game’s data, but due to the nature of development and changing data schema I understand if it’s not possible. 🙂
The data structure is quite volatile at the moment. Constantly changing and evolving to the point where I unfortunately need to wipe saves between each version right now.
It’s also quite a headache to compile each time we do some updates to the code to an offline version. Perhaps one day, but not now haha.
Hey Vaughn.. one beta suggestion I’d make to avoid problems is version-specific save directories. I just spent 3-4 hours testing the 1.1, exited to have a bite to eat and when I returned I mistakenly clicked on the Play 1.0.1 link. Well of course that was the wrong one, and I loaded up the right one immediately – only to find it wipes the save data completely. So that 3-4 hours is gone now. Having version-specific save directories would eliminate that happening.
On a more positive side I got to test a bit. Not sure where you want feedback left – here or on the tracking sheet.
