New S2ENGINE Launcher
Hi guys,
In the last week we have started to work to a new Launcher for S2ENGINE HD editor.
The launcher is the application executed when you click on Launch button of the s2engine hd page in the steam client, or when you double-click on s2engine icon.
The current launcher is a console application that simply executes the s2engine editor. It is invisible to the user.
The new launcher is a step forward.
It is a client that:
The approach of the new launcher has some advantages:
When you want to open a new project from s2engine editor, the editor itself is closed and the launcher appears again for allowing you to choose another project or creating a new one.
In this way all memory occupied by the previous project is completely cleared by the O.S. reducing memory fragmentation and the possibility to incur in an "OUT OF MEMORY" message or a crash.
The new Launcher allow us to give you all you need (the program, the manual, the tutorials, and in future the marketplace :D :D :D...) in an unique solution. No need to open a browser and/or searching for a resource.
The new launcher will be released within the upcoming S2ENGINE HD 2019.1.11 update.
Stay tuned,

The new launcher is a step forward.
It is a client that:
- Allows you to open an existing project. It lists all projects you have in the projects folder of s2engine, so you can choose which project to run and then s2engine editor is executed with the selected project loaded.
- Allows you to create a new project. It lists all the asset packages you have and lets you to choose the packages you want to be included into the new project. Then s2engine editor is executed with the new project created.
- Allows you to directly access to the s2engine manual page (By the way we know the manual is a bit out of date, we apologize, we are working on a new manual that automatically will replace this one). Any modification or update to the manual is automatically reflected into the Launcher without needing to do an update.
- Allows you to see all the GET STARTED tutorials without needing to access youtube page on a browser. The beautiful thing is that every new GET STARTED tutorial added to the playlist is automatically recognized and showed by the launcher without needing to do an update.
