Cloud Saving

[kickstart]

Instead of saving your files on your computer, you save them into the cloud with a Game-Editor account. So let's say you open up your GE program, and then you can log in, and then all of your projects are there ready for you to open and edit, no matter what program you are on. This could be similar to Google Drive perhaps, and could make sharing projects on this forum so much easier. It would improve the stability of Game Player with never losing your files, and easily being able to access them. Your files could also be accessed through game-editor.com. This would be a major renovation but it would be such a good change.

Now this would mean that Game Editor would have to be constantly connected to the internet and be pulling data from the internet. I'm sure this would cause many issues in performence, and reliability for users who would be building games when having no internet connection, perhaps. However this could just be an added options if you want another place to store your projects and files.

Could this be done?

Could this be done?

Technically yes, pretty much anything could be done. But, no, this will not be done. Currently the gE site doesn't provide services, and doesn't look like it will any time soon. To set this up would require buying server space, as well as work implementing it. Also, this can already be done using dropbox, and possibly other sites. So I would only see this as a really useful feature if gE were able to be used in browser, but that is even less likely.

Will here ever be an app for game-editor? Like an iPad app that could run game-editor itself? Or is that not even possible?

I can't speak for all of gE's future, but it won't be done any time soon, if at all.
