I'm not sure why, none of the Videotome engines work for me. If I open index.html in Videotome or Videotome Adv, I get a mostly blank screen that says press Enter or Space but then it doesn't respond to my doing so. I've tried different browsers and I've tried clicking on the screen. With Super Videotome I get a black screen with two white boxes.

Not the dev(of course), but I wonder if your issue might have to do with needing to run the engine on a local server for offline testing/playing. There's a bit about that in the Read Me included w/ the downloads, and the FAQ up top. If you've already done that, then never mind, plz ignore me.

Thank you MeiZi for the reply; this does sound like the cause of your problem.

Like several web based engines, Videotome requires running from a server, not directly from your local filesystem; this can be either a local one you spin up yourself, or something like itchio. It will not work without, for browser safety reasons.

Example instructions for running a local server are provided in the README.txt file. zipping up your project folder and uploading to itchio should also suffice, if you are unable to run a local server for any reason.

Thank you! I was originally thinking I just needed to be online--but yes, this makes sense. Thanks again.

Thank you!
