Please accept my apologies

Hello, guys.

First of all, please accept my apologies for game bugs and crashes. And I'd like to shed some light on it.

All these years I made my games with Gammaker 8.0 version which I liked and knew quite well. But some time ago I lost my license cause the rain broke through the window and killed the computer. I know that's sounds funny but I'm not just making it up )

I still had 2 more license activation so I contacted yoyogames to discover that they don't support 8.0 anymore and have license base only for 8.1. And of course you can't buy 8.1 anymore since there's Studio.

Ok. I started to look after 8.1 license (proof: https://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=60419) and at last my friend gave me his key. I calmed down and continued development.

But a month before release (this April) it striked me that I can't compile the game with his key because it'll technically and legally makes my friend a co-author.

So I imported to GMS 1.4 (which license bought earlier, it doesn't sell now also).

And though GMS resembles GM 8.0 quite a lot it is a different platform with its own details and things you need to know through experience. So all testing and fine-tuning I did all these years of development has gone.

GMS has some different logic here and there, so I'm learning it hard way.

And I couldn't afford another months of testing it even if I should so I released the game as it is.

So I'm really sorry for all those bugs (major and minor) that ruined your joy. I'm working on them!

And I want to thank the players who supported me these days! It was so unexpected and really moved me!

Thank you very much!
