Extras

Users that want additional features can try Maaack's Game Template.

Usage

Changes can be made directly to scenes and scripts outside of addons/.

A copy of the examples/ directory is made outside of addons/ when the plugin is enabled for the first time. However, if this is skipped, it is recommended developers inherit from scenes they want to use, and save the inherited scene outside of addons/. This avoids changes getting lost either from the package updating, or because of a .gitignore.
