Hi
Ok i understand a part of your reason ...
1. But if i understand fine, the game is always the same, it is only packed with an EXE file. It will not give you more work.
2. For this part i understand, i also work with many projects, like my RVGM video game museum, or the youtube channel RETROVISION, or also on game development wit OpenBOR, and yes it is really bad when some one take our work to share it on a crappy web site, and modify or sell it ... :( For sure i understand this point. But like you have write, some have also share your EXE game, it will change nothing if the share also a P8 file format. I think that p8 fil will not interest them anymore, not ready and easy to use. The only interest is for gamers like us on for exemple Batocera. It's why i also have ask to the author of POOM to share his p8 file, and now we can play it fine on Batocera, for users that have paid for the official engine.
I really wish you will share your complete game in a near future, a single level is not really interesting for us, but it is a good idea for the BBS site, for sure :)
Thanks for your work and your answer
