Godot: Version 3.x to 2.1.x backConverter
Hi it would be nice to have a back converter in case someone wants to re convert their game back to version 2.1.x from 3.x or 3.1.dev
It may not be useful after 3.1 official launch , but could be useful now ?

I don't think it's worth the effort. First that it has to strip all the new features that 3.x has and 2.1.x doesn't, so it's quite easy to break the project. Second that it's quite some work to map the features from 3.0 to their equivalent in 2.1, if it exists.
Also, the only reason to go back to 2.1 is the GLES2 support, which will be 3.1. And 3.1 is very close to release, so the time we take to make this converter and for the users to fix their project, 3.1-stable will likely be already out.

OK . thanks for the clarification. Eagerly waiting for 3.1. I got my project working in one of the 3.1 dev builds but not the latest due to the cyclic reference check . ill work with the previous dev build for now. I was checking you guys are fixing real quick . Great job and all the best for future fixes .

Closing as it won't happen for the reasons mentioned by @vnen.
