Hello world :-) I have been using Blender-2.79 from Shane's Red Ports repository on GitHub because Blender since version 2.80 (current port is 2.82) unfortunately removed the Blender Game Engine (BGE) which I am using for work. The only solution so far is to use older Blender2.79 that still has the BGE. Blender developers just removed something with no alternative and no plan for alternative. Luckily I found Shane's repository that provides port for older version. Another solution is to have UPBGE Blender 2.80 fork with experimental and refreshed BGE included, unfortunately the BGE API has changed and it is not backward-compatible. My question is can we include both Blender-2.79 and UPBGE in the official ports tree next to official Blender release? All dependencies are provided, all of them works fine next to each other. It would be really handy to have at least Blender-2.79 from PKG. https://github.com/sambler/sambler-redports/tree/master/graphics/blender279 https://github.com/sambler/sambler-redports/tree/master/graphics/upbge Best regards, Tomek -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
