Hi!

I get a lot of complaints about the game not launching. Even if the computer configuration is many times higher than the minimum system requirements. After the demo update, there were several cases when the game stopped launching even for those users who had it running before.

I cannot explain the cause of this problem. I am completely disappointed with the IFAction engine, and I would like to stop developing this game...

But, unexpectedly, my friend Sam Smith, gave me his license for Construct 2 engine. Despite the fact that this engine is also no longer supported, it has fewer bugs. And it also does not require knowledge of programming languages.

Now I will continue to develop the platformer, but I will have to transfer everything I have created into the new engine. Some things I will have to do all over again. Because of this, it will take some time to create a new demo version of the game. Please be patient.

I have not updated the working build, but I have moved it to a new folder as usual for security reasons. The new folder is available for paid subscribers.

That's not all!

Sam Smith (thank you very much), gave me another engine that does not require knowledge of programming languages. This is SHMUP Creator! It is designed for creating shoot'em up games.

Even though this engine is quite simple, it still requires learning. I started making the game by importing some of my images I had created earlier into it. This is the earliest prototype, and it will completely change in the future. That's why I didn't post a working build. Instead, I added a small gif animation of what came out. For some reason the animation is a bit laggy, but I didn't have time to redo it. I apologize.

I want to say that, in the future, the characters will look much better because the sprites will be animated.

And so, now I have three games in development at the same time!!! And I want to finish each of them! What have I done?! How did I get to this point?! I have so little free time! Did I do the right thing? What do you think?
