Interesting! Is it possible to create custom keywords? For example in order to bundle for GOG I currently must go to a script and add (uncomment) this:

gog = require "gog_galaxy.gog"

Would be nice if I could do this:

--#IF GOG
gog = require "gog_galaxy.gog"
--#ENDIF

If we can add defines to bob, then yes. Add a feature request.

Awesome! Thank you!

Done, not really sure what I’m asking for so I’ve been pretty barebones!

We need a way to decide how and where to take such keywords. Maybe they should be specified in a special field in game.project, or maybe it should be checking for a field itself, like:

--#IF gog_platform.active
...
--#ENDIF

It should be avaliable from both Bob and Editor.

Let’s keep those discussions in the ticket I think, to avoid duplicate comments :slight_smile:
