Might as well stick with 4.5 at this point and focus on actually completing the damn thing

I know we take forever with projects but there really isn't a reason to upgrade once you're well on your way right?

It’s a challenge to keep up with the latest for sure (maybe even impossible for some) but let’s not pretend that the latest version isn’t almost always objectively superior and we just tell ourselves that we don’t need it because of the endless technical debt staying up to date presents.

For a game engine, the reasons could be

  • a better engine
  • optimizations
  • making complex functionality suddenly a one-liner
  • less bugs
