You just minimize the test window and continue making whatever changes to the project in the editor. Once you save, you can go back to the test window and push F5 to refresh the window, loading whatever changes were made.

...what, thats not editing during live play, when you press F5 in the game window it just closes and re opens the game.

oh for those curious, (and to inform neo) it seems you can while the game is running, say add a house on the map your on or a event or whatever and save, then in the live game press x to open your menu, then close it and the changes will be applied. cool ♥♥♥♥

before mv, you can't tweak stuff while your test game is running

I remember having to write things down on notepad and take screenshots before closing the window making all the changes as I've recorded, save, and recompile everytime I playtest... but now I can put the editor and the test window together side-by-side (dual monitors yo), goof around the test game, then just move to the editor and do some editing, click save, then go back to the game and press f5 which I find much quicker
