What to expect
- GDScript, text scenes, resources, and assets use familiar formats.
- Third-party libraries and plugins need explicit testing when they are native, editor-integrated, or version-pinned.
- Imports and exports should be verified on the target Summer Engine release.
- Team workflows should pin compatible editor versions and review generated diffs.
Zero Lock-in
Your project files stay in documented formats. Commit before the first open so imports and configuration changes are reviewable. See Compatibility & upstream for current measured facts.Next Steps
