Project Successfully Moved To New PC + Help Needed from Linux Users
🕑 Added 2020-08-27 06:01:33 +0000 UTCAs you know, I was forced to replace my laptop recently and v3.7 was the last LifePlay update that was worked on and built using my old laptop. I can confirm that the process of moving everything across to my new laptop and getting the development environment set up has been successful. I have successfully built v3.8 again using the new laptop and from my testing of the 64 bit and 32 bit versions, they're working as expected, no difference at all from the v3.8 official releases built from the old laptop. Most importantly, I can confirm that LifePlay v3.8 built from the new laptop is compatible with all the old saves and the existing optional maps you have downloaded from the Mega folder, which was my main worry.
The one thing I can't test myself though is the Linux version of the game. So if you're a Linux user, I would be great if you can help me test this v3.8 Linux version built using the new laptop and confirm whether it's working as expected.
Once the Linux build is confirmed to be working as expected, this would mean "business as usual" for the project and I can begin working on v3.9 on the new laptop right away. In fact, it's better than "business as usual" because the new laptop performs much better, for example, compile and build time seems to have been reduced by half, so I can work on the game more efficiently.

Linux works, hadn't had time to compare but it runs, and i started a new game successfully. Ubuntu x86_64 18.04 lts
Yeah I always back up after each release on my external hard drive, plus the code is pushed to Github

Just be sure to keep stuff backed up somewhere!
