Good news. I am currently putting together a new "Stable" release. It will use almost the same as 2.4.4b codebase (thus not having all the new features but also not all the bugs).

Biggest things you are going to miss are:
- New script functions
- Support for new particles
- Hotseat Play

But on the good side I have so far managed to get these updates into the release:

I can. I misses my particlez. And hotseat, even though I haven't used it.

It kinda stinks how you'd want all the new features so you can develop stuff, but you don't want the bugs. There's no balance....

I know what you mean. It will be great when we get 2.7.7 stable Very Happy

For now we will just have to find the best balance between features and bugs.

And is it possible that if we could make REALLY hard work, we could make Hobgoblin starter (if someone starts making the level), Angel starter (if someone gets the Angel not buggy) and the Inventor starter (if we make it) to the 2.7.7 stable release?

A merge between 2.4.4b and 2.7.7? Sounds neat! And it should actually work on my computer, too, since 2.4.4b also did. Very Happy

Would the new camera and lighting system be still in?

Oh, yeah, woodmouse brings up a good point. At what point will the module unlocking system be put back in. It would make the game soooo much cooler if it actually had a direction. It'd feel more like a real game.

The module unlock system (Mind, not the new Quest system) will be implemented into 2.6.0 (Stable). The Windows version should be fully uploaded now.

New camera system and new lightning engine is not in 2.6.0 (See changelog).

Aww. How soon will we see the pwetty lights in a stable version?
Also, is the unlocking system in any in-development versions? I don't have any yet.

Actually, the unlock system has been in there since 2.3.8 or so. It has just not been activated until now. I deactivated it so that all modules could be played and tested. But as we have difference between Stable and Development version, I was thinking of making Stable more like the "final" release.

That's why I said "final" with the quotes " ". Egoboo is always a game that can be worked further on, made new modules and such. But there is still a LOT to be done before we even can call it "final" Razz

Think of networking, linking, all the new modules, starters, classes, bugs, features, etc. that we still are working on..
