Platform Builder 8
« on: February 10, 2020, 02:58:55 AM »
Hello Everyone,

I said in a previous announcement that the next version of Platform Builder is going to be bigger than usual. Some of you were wondering if we were talking another major update into Platform Builder 8. The answer is yes!

Work has already begun, and I plan to have it all ready sometime in the early Summer. My Goal for PB 8 is to address some of those spots in PB which seem oddly limiting. As usual, I will be sharing what's coming in the "Coming Soon" page of these forums. In fact, I'll be posting there after I finish writing this announcement.

Hi all,


Just wanted to post a little update here on PB 8. I mentioned that I'd like to have this ready early summer. Although there's still a lot that I'd like to do, there are also many glitch and error fixes which I want to roll out as soon as I can. Because of this, I plan to have PB 8 Beta ready in about a week. It will contain all of the big changes plus a bunch of smaller things, with even more smaller things on the way for the final release.


We will do this similar to how we have done it for other major releases. Everyone is welcome. Once its ready, you'll see an announcement posted here on the forums.


Until then,
TingThing

Great news! I've been hyped for PB 8, and so to hear I'll finally get to use it in the near future, that's music to my  ears!

You have made this really big and businesslike even if the managers can be still glitchy for my game. :) I thought nothing will chance for some amount of time because you are making a very big step by moving from PB 7 to PB 8 but I checked inside to PB recently and actually found quite a lot of new good features although you have not called PB 8 as ready yet. ::)
