I'm running on Windows 11 and just got a black screen when trying to play the levels so it was unplayable. The menus showed up so I was able to start the levels, but had a black background if there was supposed to be any colors or images there.

Is there something else I need to do to install it properly on Windows other than unzipping?

It's very cool that you developed your own game engine, but it makes it a bit less accessible when it can't be run in browser and has potential issues like this.

That is very odd. You should not need to install anything else other than just extracting the game. When you launch the game with ´-writeLogs` from the command line, in the Logs/ folder next to the game executable, what do the log files say? What GPU are you using?

I do have a relatively old GPU since I typically don't play high end games so I haven't upgraded it in quite a while, and I see there are a bunch of shader errors in the logs. The GPU is an AMD Radeon R9 200 Series, and here is the contents of the log:

I see, I figured out what the issue is. It was a bug in my shader module system that for some reason doesn’t ever cause issues on more modern drivers. I have fixed this in the engine code, but sadly I can’t update the game to fix that anymore.

I'm glad I could help find this bug! If you update it after the voting period I'd still like to try it then so just let me know in a reply if you do!
