Working on game with multiple people

[joey-and-rattata]

So i have another person who will be helping with my game by making maps, scripting and whatnot. I am wondering how it will be possible (if at all) to work on the same game without necessarily having to transfer the files over to each other with each change

You could have a look at source control but to a certain degree transferring files (or at least, information about the files) is sort of a requirement for working on a team.

At this stage we are just using google drive to transfer files. I was just wondering if there was an easier way

You can upload your game file on google drive or dropbox and shared the link to your friends or team. So when I finish working on the data, it will sync the file to other people.

What do you mean? Would we always have to constantly upload and download the folder to work on the game?

If you're using Git specifically, I have some (currently unpublished) things that make changes in Scripts.rxdata visible to "git diff", "git grep", etc. Grep in particular I find very helpful.

I don't have any filters to help with automatic merging, so you'll have to either manually merge using the output of diff, or build those yourself.

If this sounds useful to you feel free to PM and we can try and get a release together. And possibly have a look at supporting maps, events, and so on too.
