Thank you very much for the update.

Is there a reason this still has a beta label on it? That's the one thing preventing the app from taking off.
What do you mean by that? The version is definitely suitable for use. Patches will surely follow, as it did happen with beta 4.
And beta by term most likely because the devteam has not implemented everything yet they wanted to.
I mean, we live in times of early access, non-functional products that you still have to pay for. And if there's a patch, a beta 6 or the full version at some point, you're guaranteed to be able to simply move your project over with all the files and, in the worst case, have to update a few NPCs.
What I mean is that there are a LOT of people who would be interested in a software like this, but the BETA in the title turns them off. Even if it's an almost flawless product. Having a smaller audience gives less incentive to spend a huge amount of time creating a new episode, for instance.

As a personal touch, I've wanted to make a new episode for two years now, but I won't start the project until I know it will be for a finished (meaning non-beta) engine. Right now I can't be sure of that.

Still, I understand this is not a job for anyone and appreciate the hard work that goes into updating SMBX. Personally I just think the beta label is next to useless at this point. We could just have more updates in the future to a finished product.
