As a huge fan of the genre, I am delighted to find this game. Unfortuantely, it does not seem to run for me. After unzipping, running the app I get the first Page with the ship drawing and "Harbor", "Battle" and "World". Hovering over these three items makes them larger. But clicking anywhere on the page does nothing. Any idea what I'm doing wrong. Obviously, it's working for others.
Running a brand new PC:
Windows 11
Intel i7 13700k
NVIDIA 4070ti
32G RAM
Many thanks!!!

Since you can interact with the main menu, the engine (such as it is) is running okay. I have seen behaviour like this when I build the game and forget to set up the data directory correctly. It should come correctly out of the zip file, but who knows.
- do you have the correct directory structure - in the root directory "painted.exe" and a subdirectory painted_Data; this contains a subdirectory Data with some stuff about ships and weather in it?
- when you click on one of the menu items and nothing happens, does the game hang, or can you still interact with the menu?
- what is in "output_log.txt" in painted_Data?
