Ok, just let me know if I can do anything to help with the technical difficulties.

So the plan is to keep splitting the big game into smaller mini-games and release them separately? It looks like a nice idea. I see now that you posted a Hu Die update too on patreon and I tried it, the tutorial is very polished and a very good addition! I miss the cutscenes though are they not incl...

Thanks VilleK!!! Ok, the resulted exe is a bit bigger, but it works perfectly. Hopefully I won't have bad review regarding antivirus problems with Omeganaut :D Good to hear :). Also I notice that this week I can download the ZGE beta in Firefox without issues so they must have updated their virus d...

Every time someone asks Kjell for help he ends up writing an example that is already half the game . Looks real nice. Great work as usual Kjell!

I tried to update ZGE here with medium bloated runtimes (350kb). They only produce 4 false positives when uploaded to virus total but I still get the download blocked when trying from Firefox here: http://www.zgameeditor.org/files/ZGameEditor_beta.zip

Edge browser downloads it fine.

when you find out why is it behaving like that… it's unsettling (nothing to do with ZGE).

Why does it behave like that? I did not get a warning here (could be that I'm using the larger player.bin) but I'm curious to what trick it is that you mention.

I assume the virus scanners have issues with player.bin because it is so small. For the game by rrTea I made a custom build of player.bin that is 800kb and that works much better. I may have to "bloat" the main ZGE download too in the same way. But it really feels silly because one of my main design...

Yes this does indeed happen and I'm still not sure why/when. I hope to fix it one day!

Persistent only means that the content will be stored on file (both in the zgeproj and the final executable). I guess it could be cleared when stopping designer, but the current behaviour is the same with Variables (they are not reset between preview runs).

We got a source contribution from Christian Budde . He committed a fix to give proper syntax highlighting for GLSL source code so the editor now correctly highlights GLSL words such as "uniform" etc. He also improved error handling so that the shader editor will mark the line with the syntax error, ...

I had no idea something like this was possible with Deluxe Paint. You pushed it beyond its limits . Really impressive!

i got 16 false-positives with a 8MB file embedded, 11 false-positives with a 32MB file embedded, and 8 false-positives with a 128MB file embedded

Nice idea, and also proof that some virus scanners are seriously flawed.

We've simplified what we can in the engine so only option now is to tell the anti-virus companies that this is a false positives. I read on several occasions that "the virus scanners killed the 64k scene". It is nearly impossible to make small exe-files these days. Indeed it would probably help to s...

When the editbox is still new (immediately after launching ZGE for example) pressing cursor up brings a Division by Zero.
Edit: or cursor down

Ok this bug is now fixed: http://www.zgameeditor.org/files/ZGameEditor_beta.zip

Indeed this checkbox is buggy. I now tried to fix it. Please test if this version works better: http://www.zgameeditor.org/files/ZGameEditor_beta.zip
