Misc User Experience Improvements

This update focuses on refining various aspects of the user experience within the editor. We’ve enhanced routing, improved side panel usability, project switching, and fine-tuned editor behavior for a smoother development process.

Adjustable Side Panel

Previously, the side panel where all your game configurations were managed was locked at a fixed width. Now, you can customize and adjust the width of the side panel to perfectly match your screen size and editing style.

Bug Fixes and General Improvements

Alongside the new adjustable side panel, we’ve squashed several bugs affecting general project operations. These improvements ensure a more stable experience when navigating routes and switching between projects.
