Ascii Lion R8 (1.8.0) Is officially released!
this update is a major jump from R7 there's now a simple game development engine , a sprite editor , and pages ; among many other things . out of all of the updates this one took nearly a full year to complete . I had to redesign a couple of things from the ground up , expand the UI , flaw-seek , and optimize things a bit in order for this to work with Gamemaker 8's single-threaded engine at a tolerable FPS (that's not to say this revision is without flaw or occasional slow downs) , but it is exactly where I want it and what I imagined prior to beginning the update , I am certain you will find ample possibilities utilizing this (now) multi-media tool within your projects.
ASCII LION 8 , What's New :
(GLYPH SUPER ENGINE UPDATE)
• object sprite editor(experimental)
• object node-based logic editor (experimental)
• GML (gamemaker language) functions
