5.4.219

💝 Improvements

• Add a new option for layers, to keep a layer centered when the game size changes, or keep it top-left fixed (as before).

  • This is useful for layers which you want to stay on the center of the screen, which works well with the new option to extend width/height of the project without cropping the game area.
  • If you already move the camera using events, this won't have any impact.
  • This also works well when using the Anchor behavior to position objects on the screen.

  

• New, reworked "Create new game" dialog. It is now the entry point for creating a new game, allowing to:

  • create an empty project from scratch
  • (new!) use a "starting point" for your projects, to bootstrap your platformer, top-down or physics game. They are extremely simple template, with minimal gameplay, perfect for new users discovering GDevelop.
  • start from a project customized by an AI,
  • or as before, one of the many free or premium templates provided with GDevelop.

  

• Add an option in the game properties to extend width or height and never crop the game area.

  • This can be used to ensure your game area is always fully displayed, with a background layer on which you use the "Anchor" behavior to position a tiled sprite or other objects:
    

As well as a few more improvements:

• Projects linked to a game are now shown and can be opened directly from the game dashboard.
  • If a cloud project is not shown, it's usually enough to open it from the Build tab and save it so that it appears in the game dashboard.
• Add "Create new folder" menu item inside "Move to folder" menu.
• Improve LAN preview network to detect local ip properly for Network previews

🐛 Bug fixes

• Fix for the anchor behavior when used on layers where the camera was moved. Anchored objects will now work whatever their layer and camera position.
• Fix potential crashes in events function edition
  • Also hide object groups tabs in functions (unless there are groups already) - it's not recommended to use them anymore.
• Fix custom objects inner area expansion on Z axis
• Fix variables from being renamed with a property
• Fix position conflicts between Physics and other movement behaviors
• Fix: Build tilemap renderer from an empty tilemap to be able to create tilemaps in-game

5.4.216

📝 🏎️ Objects now directly editable from the Properties panel

When an object is selected (or when "Edit object" is chosen in the Properties panel after choosing an instance), this panel will now show the object properties, behaviors, variables and effects. Everything can be directly edited from there.

This allows for fast edition of most elements of an object: appearance, properties, but also behaviors, variables, effects... Most work and iterations on your game should be faster, from adapting the appearance of a text to tweaking behaviors and updating the preview to check the result in realtime. For example, behaviors can be directly added, removed and configured:

💡 If you keep the preview of the game opened, on the desktop app, you can then click on the "Update" button in the toolbar to apply changes to the live game, without restarting the preview.

✈️ Custom objects ("prefabs") can now be created (Experimental)

Custom objects are containers, composed of one or more other objects and having custom logic (made with events, like in a traditional scene) inside them.
In this new version of GDevelop, you can now select a few instances on the scene and extract them into a custom object that will contain them and their associated object:

"Custom objects" are also called "Prefabs" or "Templates" in some game engines.

They almost act like if they are a scene, but available as an object. Like custom behaviors, they can have actions, conditions and expressions, so they can be manipulated by the scene events.
They allow to speed-up development and make games more modular by having an object that can be reused in different scenes.

For example, you can build:

• A custom object that is a dialog: a background, some text, some buttons. This allows to do all the logic related to this dialog inside the custom object events, without cluttering the scene.
• A character or some other game objects that is composed of multiple parts. For example,

Read the documentation to learn more about their usage.

You can see here the two buttons extracted into a custom object. Notice the checkered background indicating that this is not a scene but a custom object that can be reused in multiple scenes:

5.4.215

This version brings the new properties panel for objects as well as support for visual edition of custom objects. Use version 5.4.126 as it contains important bug fixes for them (and the release notes of this version contains the full description of these).

💝 Improvements

• New in-app tutorial explaining how to use a Tilemap and interact with it at runtime.
• When choosing a font or an audio file, the Asset Store will now display a preview and will allow to quickly search in all of them.
  This is perfect for quickly prototyping games.
  Note that the Asset Store is not shown anymore when choosing an image (it was confusing as all images were shown without links to their asset packs and without consideration as if they could be used as standalone images). Instead, consider using the menu option to swap an object.

🎮 Multiplayer games improvements: Play as Guest + more

Play Stranded on a Raft on gd.games

• Introducing Play as Guest: players can now join as a "guest" player, without having sign up anymore. This should increase the number of players that are willing to try your multiplayer games. Anyone can join a game in a few seconds!
• Performance improvements with a new automatic "host migration" when the host player leaves:
  • The host of a multiplayer game is now automatically migrated to a new one, picked from the list of players (the one with the lowest ping).
  • A new condition "Is host migrating" is now available - in case you want to do something special in the gamewhile the migration happens. This can take up to a few seconds. If your game has no interactions between players, you can just do nothing. Otherwise, you may want to pause the game while the host is changing.
  • A new action is available to configure the lobby game to end instead of migrating when the host leaves. This is useful if you prefer the host not changing during your game.
• Allow changing the synchronization rate of objects:
  • The default "sync rate" of objects is set to 30 times per second - which is enough for most games.
  • A new action can be used to update this value depending on the type of your game, at the cost of bandwidth. Fast-paced competitive? Go for 60. Slow turn-based game? 5 or 10 is probably enough.

Read more about all multiplayer features on the GDevelop Multiplayer documentation page.

➕ Formulas in the instance properties

You can now write simple math formula in the property fields of an instance: for example, you can enter 100 + 50 or 100 + 70/2 or ToDeg(sin(2.3)) in the instance editor fields. This is helpful when you need to precisely set up the position of instances in a menu, UI or level.

🪙 gd.games ads earnings (Revenue Sharing) in your game dashboard

You can now see the earnings of the games you've published on gd.games at the top of your Games dashboard.
You can either cash out that amount if you reach a certain threshold, or exchange your balance (at a preferential rate) for GDevelop credits that can be used on the asset store.

Read more about revenue sharing on this forum thread.

🛠️ Work-in-progress, experimental visual editor for custom objects ("prefabs")

An experimental, still work-in-progress, editor to build objects inside GDevelop - from small, reusable UI objects to larger parts of your game - is being finalized.

We're still improving the anchor behavior so that it can be used to position dynamically objects inside a Custom Object (which will be perfect for UI elements like dialogs, popups...). A bunch of bugs and limitations, listed below, are being worked on, so we only recommend advanced users to try this (and if you do, please give feedback on Discord "engine-development" channel).

List of limitations or bugs being worked on:

• Effects should be disabled for layers
• Hot reloading mostly works but needs some extra work
• Add a "Extract as a custom object ("prefab")" when selecting instances in a scene.
• Ensure physics and pathfinding behaviors work properly.
• New expressions to translate coordinates from the parent to the local custom object.
• Ensure deletion of a custom object is gracefully handled by the editor

👥 New interface for teachers to manage students and other teachers

Administrators and teachers having a GDevelop for Education subscription can now create new anonymous accounts for students, invite new teachers and enable or disable user accounts.

Read more about administration of student/teachers on the documentation page.

💝 Improvements

• Add a new expression to get Spine point attachments positions (Thanks @f0nar!)
• Various Tilemap improvements:
  • Improved Tilemap collision precision.
  • Improved Tilemap preview rendering performance
  • When using a mouse, the middle click can be used to pan the view when painting on a Tilemap.
• Allow custom objects ("prefabs") to use the anchor behavior on their children.
• Allow centering objects with the anchor behavior.
• Update AdMob banner so they cover part of the game screen instead of reducing it (Thanks @devgiordane!)
  • In most games, it's better to design the game with the size of the ad banner in mind - which will cover either part of the top or bottom of the screen. Previously, the game size was reduced which was making it difficult to properly design a game and would introduce bad looking black borders.
• Add automated crash reporting from previews:
  • This will allow to detect any bugs or crash in the game engine without relying on manual reports from users on GitHub. Note that exceptions and errors in JavaScript code blocks won't be reported. This can be deactivated in preferences if you prefer not to have GDevelop send these crash reports at all.
• Add an action to change a Text object font
• Add a default shortcut for adding a comment in the Events Sheet (Shift+C)
• Physics engine: merge the 2 world scale properties into one
• Add possibility to drop variable after last item in the variables editor

🐛 Bug fixes

• Fix text input not properly deleted when used in a Custom Object
• Fix memory clearing/leak when a scene is paused or stopped
• Fix default parameters from being able allowed to be dragged and dropped
• Fix default values for the Adjustement effect
• Fix update notifications translations on Desktop app
• Fix hot-reload for variables

  • For Apple mobile devices, Long Tap is now disabled, which prevented the destruction of cubes. (You can see how this is implemented in the Mobile Control Helper extension)
  • Bug fixes:
    • Now cubes cannot be placed inside the player, which led to getting stuck or falling out of the world.
    • The buttons in the menu and pause are no longer distorted when turning the screen on mobile devices.
