When you wanna generate link to your game
(i did it for few old projects)
IDK why but now i have NO CHOICE to even generate that link with jk234j-3jk22g23h-234jk243k-kh234k
Instead it is link with project name
So here i see this
No option do i want to publish my project or do i wanna just generate dev link i wanna either test myself or share with someone
This is somewhat related to this feature request but it is requesting something else
In above request i ask when you see that button to select do you want to publish or just get new dev link
To default to new link or at least remember last choice
Where in this case there is no button to even choose anything
You 1st need to publish game then you go back to previous window and now you can generate new link to dev build
I already seen user asking on discord how to NOT publish his game and just generate dev link
But i see bigger issue
Some of us will not pay attention to it until it happen
When you generate link with project name
It is same link to whatever last update of your project you published
So when i come here and for example someone asks how to make player shoot left and right
I explained how to do it and generated link to my test project so someone could test it out before even trying to implement it
Let’s say i generated one with project name
For example this
Now in another topic someone asks how to make player open/close doors when player is close to doors and E key is pressed
So again i paste screenshot of events
But also generate preview link so such user can test it before trying it
Yet i did again generate link with project name (i published my project)
But now for where i pasted link to my game in previous topic
Is now updated to what i just published
So in last topic about how to fire bullet
Link no longer will open version i made showing how to fire bullet
But it is now link to how to open doors
Since last time i generated link it was to that version with open/close doors
So in that previous topic my link leads to something that is not related to the topic anymore
I know not ALL of us come here to answer questions and share links to prove it is working
So its is more of a ME problem than general problem
But no matter how i look at it i say 1st need to publish game then be able to generate dev link is bad move
Even most of us want to 1st test their game before publishing it in any way
Also for most it would not matter is it link to unique version or we are updating same link with newer version of our project
