We're excited to announce Phaser Editor v4.11.0! This new version includes a new color theme, start page improvements and the first steps in adopting Phaser 4.

Phaser Studio Color Theme

For this new version, we've implemented a new color theme inspired by Phaser's branding colors. We hope you enjoy it.

Start Page

We've made some changes to the start page to make it more useful and friendly for new users.

The recent projects list now displays an image of each project. This can help you more easily identify your projects. The project you're currently working on is highlighted in the list in the first row:

Phaser 4

Phaser 4 is in active development and is due for release in the coming weeks. We're working to make Phaser Editor compatible with Phaser 4. In this release, we're providing a new Phaser 4 project template that you can use to start playing with Phaser 4.

Most of the Phaser API is common to versions 3 and 4, but when using a Phaser 4 project, we disabled the Spine and FX extensions in the editor, as these aren't available in Phaser 4.

Other Changes

For this release, we've added Telemetry to the editor. This is a feature that allows us to collect anonymous data about editor usage. This data is used to improve the editor and make decisions about the editor's future. Should you need to re: company policies, you can disable this feature on the start page:

We've also removed the Chat window in the editor. Some of you have been using this as a direct means of communication with us, but most of you thought it was an AI chatbot! We've decided to suspend this feature until we've got a better way to support it. In the meantime, our Discord server remains the best way of communicating with us in real-time. Enterprise customers can continue to use your private Slack channels.
