Also the 'official' tutorial guy on the Gdevelop KZbin goes to fast over everything, I even feel he is skipping some steps. This gets worse for people like me who doesn't speak proper english. Those tutorials should be explained, not rushed.

okay im not crazy a lot of the time his code has bugs I understand that its just supposed to help but :/ i didnt even know abt external events till I found a random video on it

[@cattymations]

I gotta admit, I thought I was the only one who thought the new UX in this update was shit, to the point where I just gaslighted myself into believing it was good. I genuinely hope this gets more views and the changes are reversed.

[@RetroGameLogic]

This video got nearly 200 views over night... i take it people are finally getting their updates and not being too happy about it :p

This is the worst update. I hate how the variable interface is now. I prefer the old way. Type global and I just get the global variable options. Now when I type global I have to go through the entire list of variables just to find the one I am looking for. The setup of the variables were fine. Multiplayer was an awesome addition but they didn't need to change the UX with the variables it was really unnecessary. They could have just kept the warning they had it place saying that the following variables are not declared and only shown in the object scene or global tab. I'm seriously thinking of going to another engine next year.

[@RetroGameLogic]

I feel the same way, your absolutly right, i hate how they made the whole thing now :(

[@oggiba]

the problem is the break the work flow for the old user, and make more "simple" for new. was a problem solve to a not realy problem.

[@BlackJaguarGX64]

same here and in discord no one is believing my large project.

[@BTMYYY]

Yea this new update broke my workflow completely. i cant even edit a lot of my variables without having to spend a long time declaring all of everything.

[@timetorelaxfocus9642]

I wish they did not change for templates that were previously free. Even though a lot of templates, not a diverse enough set IMO. The pay for has gotten a bit out of control, especially when they removed the free filter in search (and no attrib). I hope they go back to the previous.

[@RetroGameLogic]

They changed free templates to payed? Seriously? Thats nutts :(

I couldn't get grid movement to work many examples rely on old variable system, so I'm stuck until some new example comes out. I tried other ways of doing it with no luck.

[@hannahival6433]

It just maked me confused😅 1 hour tring find the option.

[@tulenvakiproductions]

Oh btw I noticed you use a lot of the 200% magnicication because bad eyesight, did you know that you can change the event editor font size with + and - so you don't have to switch back and forth all the time.

[@RetroGameLogic]

Thats pretty cool! i didnt know that, but its more than seeing stuff bigger, it helps me focus since i dont have periferal vision, the + and - dont change the rest of the layout, so the magnifying glass is still nice when im going trough menus, but this is pretty awesome thanks! :D

[@pinoyhappynetwork]

Do the devs listened and fix the problem or it still the same?

[@ДимитърИванов-э4ы]

Hello ,how do I make it so that when I die, the game restarts from the beginning?

[@RetroGameLogic]

Theres plenty of ways to do this and it depends on your game and set up. Without knowing more, a very quick and simple way to do it would be, when your character dies, do the action "Change Scene", then select the starting scene you want, that way when ever you die, it resets you to the start. Let me know if you need any other methods :)

[@ДимитърИванов-э4ы]

@@RetroGameLogic It doesn't work, when my player dies, it sits in one place and doesn't come back. I have one more question, how many scenes are we entitled to in the free version? I ask because it is not written on the site. I'm currently on the free version. Sorry for my english

[@RetroGameLogic]

@@ДимитърИванов-э4ы Free version? You mean the mobile app? If you use the desktop version, both online or downloaded version, you have no limits, you can anything you want, have as many scenes as you want without paying, the subscription is only to remove the logo you get when loading the game at the start, you dont have to pay. The mobile app is different, there is some payed features but i dont know much about it since i dont use it. As for the player just sitting there, you should look at their game examples to better understand how that works, or follow along with some guide to learn the basics :) I cant help you much without know more.
