You're right, because making 4.0 themes won't have to interfer with 3.9 development... but because making themes for 4.0 seems to be easier than 3.9 I'm still thinking if I remain as 3.9 themer.
The multilayer feature (bga's with on and out commands) present in 4.0 is one of the most interesting thing of that build against 3.9 (bga's cannot have multiple behaviours and mostly everything lays on the theme graphics defined by the programmers). By the other hand SM4.0 is still a nonstable build...
So, for now I cannot give you a definitive possition about keep developing for one or the other build.
But I have to inform you that DDRMAX2 SM4.0 development is going in the way I always dreamed:
DDRMAX2 WIP (for StepMania 4.0)
- The complete unlocked DDRMAX2 music list is now the default one for the theme.
- Screen Gameplay is going well, all the themed things on screen had now a really nice arcade like behaviour.
I have to figure out how to fix the bg effect in DDRSN theme for 4.0, because it doesn't work... more things to come...
DDRSN2 will lays on SN1, so I think that making some changes to accomplish the goal of a new theme won't be hard to do... :P
