Is UPBGE abandoned?

The latest official release is based on blender 3.6 Lts while there is two alpha versions of blender 4.2/4.3
But nothing based on latest stable blender 4.3,
Does the project keeps developing?

Github seems active; last changes some days ago (on webpage hours ago…)

and both “main maintainers” have an account with the same alias here on BA…

But also when looking at all the changes on blender especially on EEVEE… it’s not easy to keep up with some smaller team than the Blender Foundation…

Maybe people even use a especially to that area more suited application… ? Like for example godot ??

Good but why there isn’t a builds with latest blender 4.3 builds? There is a outdated one from july or at least a blender 4.2 Lts build

Because the game engine is heavily influenced by the render engine and the render engine has changed. So some things may not work as before, maybe have slowed done or aren’t working at all with the newesr build.

Unsolved issues in 3.6 may also lead to problems in the 4.0 , 4.1 , 4.2, 4.3 branch with changes innetween…

So it’s better to use the 3.6 Version instead of using the alpha 4.3?

It’s up to you… that’s why they are called alpha. There are also some other variants of some blender embeded game engines (armory, range,…). Your usecase; your choice.

Range I haven’t tried as for armory I don’t think so,they are not in active development,upbge is very good I was just wondering how the development goes👍

the thing is i dont want to switch Blender versions,
i dont want to use upbge based on early alpha 4.3 or the 3.6version for doing just games and for everything else to open the blender 4.3 or the 4.2lts,
is there any latest build of upbge based on blender 4.2 lts or the latest blender 4.3 beta?

…so you might ping them with mentioning them like so @drgci so they will be informed abotu this by the forum system…

…and i do not have any secret insights further than the github info.

@BluePrintRandom @lordloki_reloaded can we do something about that?!
can you guys give us a unofficial blender 4.2LTS version of upbge?

The latest experimental UPBGE build available is based on Blender 4.3a.

yeah but these are early blender 4.3 builds,i want more stable,latest blender 4.3 builds,
idont want just for making games but to do other things too without bugs and crashes

4.3 is still in development… And I doubt an UPBGE update will come out before a Blender update…

BTW, what’s the reason of such stress? The current UPBGE is already quite nice to work with, and most changes in 4.3 won’t particularly improve a game engine any way.

I don’t want improvements to game engine,I like upbge as it is ,what I want is a stable blender 4.2lts or the latest blender 4.3 build of upbge to not switching for other things on main blender 4.2/4.3👍

Yes… we understood that you want this… but how do you want to help the in-free-time–developers to do so ?

So the answers are already given:

  • not abandoned
  • not completely ready yet

It’s understandable :+1:

It’s true that experimental builds have the chance of having an increase in bugs, but there’s also the opportunity for an increase in bug fixes as well. The UPBGE developers are usually pretty fast with fixing bugs if you mention it on their official Discord server and those bug fixes are available in the experimental builds only until the developers decide to produce support for the latest LTS version / a new stable release.
