Why are some assets labeled as "Testing" #256

Closed MattUV closed 2 years ago

MattUV commented 2 years ago

Hello, if this is not the place to ask this question I apologize and I'm ready to close this issue.

I published an asset 3 months ago, and it still appears as "Testing". I couldn't find the reason for it. Is it due to the number of downloads?

For information there is the asset: https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/1210

PS: I am not complaining, I'm genuinely trying to understand. 😉

"Testing" is designed for be used for assets that are still in early development and are not ready for production use yet. When you upload an asset to the asset library, you can choose its support level between "Community" or "Testing" (with "Offical" being reserved for official demos and add-ons).

This Testing support level is often misunderstood by asset uploaders, so maybe it could be removed. On the other hand, once the new asset library is deployed, you wouldn't want to get negative reviews because people didn't see that your asset was still considered to be in testing phase :slightly_smiling_face:

Either way, I changed the support level of https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/1210 to Community for you.

Thank you @Calinou for your answer, and for changing it to Community, I really appreciate 🙏
