How to update your project(s):

• Create a backup of your project or only its data and js folders. Updating can sometimes cause your project to break so this is for the safety of your hard work!
• Update your project by going to the Main Tool Bar -> Game -> Update Corescript option.
  
• To get the graphical updates, create a new project and copy the following files from the newly created project to your project folder:
  • img/parallaxes/IslandOfSky1.png

Before Reporting Issues / Bugs:

• Make sure that your steam client is done updating if you are using the steam version. If there are issues, restart the client first.
• If you encounter a bug, remember the following:
  • Use Tiny Project to emulate the issue.
  • There should be NO plugins.
• If the bug happens with Tiny Project:
  • Get a video and upload in Streamable. Then link in your post.
  • Upload the Tiny Project that has your issue in Google Drive. Then link in your post.
  • Post your PC specs. It must include your OS, RAM, Video Card.
• If it's an editor bug, make sure to show us step by step on how to replicate the issue.
  • Get a video and upload in Streamable. Then link in your post.
• If you cannot replicate the bug with Tiny Project, then it's a different issue and you should post in support instead.

Remember that bug reports are a serious issue. If you report without doing due diligence, it makes other users unwilling to update and gives us developers more work replicating an issue that may or may not exist.


Happy Game Making!
