Perhaps consider having a closed beta for power users. Get them playing with it now and breaking things that you weren’t anticipating. ---

That’s definitely the plan! I will let you know when the time comes, we would greatly appreciate any help with testing. ---

Absolutely yes with no problems. It is a new editor not a new engine - it targets the same engine ultimately, which will keep evolving over time itself. ---

Awesome! Has the scaling been tested on Windows? Some programs seem to scale just fine in OS X but don’t behave the same in Windows. ---

I used the editor for a bit today and it’s starting to really shape up now. I primarily evaluated the script editor, and while it had a few quirks it was mostly functioning as expected. And to my knowledge the rest of the editor is closing in on feature parity with the existing editor. It’s gonna be exciting when we can share it with you! ---

No, sorry. @Ragnar_Svensson, can you hint at a date for a first public beta test of the editor to a couple of our forum users? ---

Yes, the whole thing is shaping up! I would expect us to be able to take on early testers in 1-2 months, but historically I have been very wrong in the estimates. ☹ But we are making good progress every week and the biggest challenges have finally been conquered ([peppar, peppar, ta i trä](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/peppar,_peppar,_ta_i_tr%C3%A4)), so it looks like the time left is finite now. ---

Isn’t “peppar, peppar” and “ta i trä” sort of “tårta på tårta”? ---

There should be a Ragnar factor you can multiply the estimate with to get a more accurate release date. I’d ask you to estimate the Ragnar factor, but yeah… ![](https://forum-defold-uploads.b-cdn.net/original/2X/6/60e13643943b47fc8774c4005ee713643009f1fd.png) [Previous page](https://forum.defold.com/t/defold-editor-2-0/1407.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forum.defold.com/t/defold-editor-2-0/1407.md?page=3)
