Title: Auto update like nightly builds?
Post by: Emre on June 06, 2014, 03:22:53 pm

Can an auto update be implemented to the game like a launcher to install the latest nightly builds?

it's possible, sure, but it may not always be a great idea, in case... you know, the latest nightly isn't perfect or something.
i expect the code to start getting really volatile with some of the plans we have brewing, so i'd expect a whole host of bugs to be introduced along with them.

I see. Luckily, i haven't seen any bugs so far.

I never liked this idea, because you get what Steam does to you every time the devs fix an exploit or whatever that you didn't want changed yet.

I'm a control freak when it comes to my few favorite games. I don't want auto-nothing!@!
