Engine still maintained? #45

Open iuab92112 opened 1 year ago

iuab92112 commented 1 year ago

I have a question about the engine. I wanted to make a 2d game on Roblox and found this engine. But the last release was last year on March in 2022. So i want to know if it's still maintained or should I use another engine?

@iuab92112 if it's maintained or not, it's really new and has never been used for real games, I don't think.

But if the code is solid, it doesn't matter if it's maintained in my opinion.

But as a total Roblox noob, I would like to read more hints on how to get started. For instance, the script which is provided, where do I put it? Starterplayer? I have no clue. I tried to put the starter script in a bunch of places but nothing happened.

(I know programming in several languages, but the Roblox Studio has me confused, there are so many things in it...

You can make a game with it whether the game is for release or just a demo. You may run into a few minor bugs here and there but it shouldn't be much of a problem. There are a few things about the library that must be redone (like inheritance etc) so you might not be able to achieve certain things with the engine, but it still does open a lot of boundaries!

As for maintenance, I am unable to find sufficient time to work on Nature2D right now so there hasn't been a new release in a year. Will see if I can in the future sometime. But yes, you can go for using the latest release (March 2022) as that's the most stable release as of now. Thanks
