Suggestion Archives / Add Version Numbers to Kits and Games in StencylForge
« on: July 12, 2015, 02:31:58 am »
I've been away from Stencyl for a while and updated to the newest version 3.3.1 and download kits and games of Stencylforge. Right now there is no way to know if it will work and what version of Stencyl it was made in apart from the submission date. If a new user were to use Stencylforge and download kits and 90% have errors they will think Stencyl is a bad program. Stencyl kits and games uploaded to the forge should have the version number they were made in attached. Also Stencyl kits and games made with older version that are likely to not work with the new Stencyl version should be put in a legacy games section and legacy kits section with a tab to choose to look for games/kits by version of Stencyl.
Having the main forge page crowded with games/kits for previous versions makes Stencyl look bad and the user frustrated. Imagine if you had the newest smartphone and you download 10 games and 9 gives you errors and only 1 works properly.
