SlipperyBrick Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hi Guys, I have recently purchased Leadwerks Game Engine: Indie Edition on Steam and was wondering if there is any differences from the Steam version and the version that is sold here on the website? Also wanted to know if Steam updates automatically? Or would I have to download some sort of patch from here to update? Thanks for the info!

Rick Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 It auto updates for me (like games do). The main difference between the steam version and other versions coming is that the Steam version uses Lua and Windows only. Other versions will support C++ and other OS's, but 100% of the editor functionality is the same, and about 99% of the API is the same. I say 99% because the engine is written in C++ originally and so things have to be exposed to Lua, and something might have been missed or overlooked. The C++ versions actually exposes a lot of class variables that you can use, but isn't technically supported and not all of those are exposed to Lua because it's not technically supported for us to use.

SlipperyBrick Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Ahh cool. Thats not really much difference I suppose and I can live with only making Windows games for now, at least until I learn most things to making games. The coding aspect of things I am still new to and I've been learning Lua and C++ Cheers Rick thanks for the quick reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
