# Development Tips

{% hint style="danger" %}
Personally do not suggest anyone upgrading any old version of RhythmGameStarter in a production project, preferable a clean install since most of the major updates of rgs have scripts & prefabs changes, and rgs is not a plug & play solution.
{% endhint %}

### Dealing with future updates

**RhythmGameStarter** is a project template, and each update may be causing some required changes to the core script, which if you modified a lot, the new update may not be compatible for your current project to upgrade.

A better workflow will be separating your custom logic into new components instead of editing directly in the core script, and make minimal changes if possible.

### Workflow tips

* Use git! So it's possible for you to diff manually with core scripts changes 
* Duplicating the demo scene, instead of editing directly
* Setting up a custom song directory outside **RhythmGameStarter's** folder
* Create a prefab variant for the RhythmGameStarter prefab
* Use version control! (important) so even if the update was messed up, you can still revert back
