September Update: User interface
· 7 min read

As part of the 0.24.X release we included support for 9-slice sprites. 9-slice sprites are useful on their own,
but they become crucial when building a UI system.
A custom UI system for Forge was not on the roadmap for 2026, but we decided to bring the feature forward. We are changing the long term strategy for Forge. Forge has many strong competitors in the market. The most notable being Phaser and Excalibur.js, building a "good web-based game engine" is not enough when competing with battle-tested products.
