SpecForge 1.05 is out. New feature....
🎭Sprite Masks!🎭
Make your player stand out with a sprite mask! See the Before and After video below showing both colour options too! You can use a 1 or 2 pixel auto-mask or define your own!😎
Before I go to bed, SpecForge 1.04 is up:
• NEW! Energy: a hit reduces energy instead of taking a life, and collectables can restore it!
• NEW! Tiles can be drawn in front of characters, so the characters can walk behind them!
• IMPROVED! Games with ammo run a little faster!

It anybody speaks Italian, here's a nice play through attempt of Tobobobo Go Home - made in SpecForge!
I watched it with auto-translate English subtitles and I had quite a chuckle at some parts! "Mamma Mia!"😂

I hadn't considered a ruins theme until yesterday morning, and I nearly binned it because I really wasn't happy with it. Just over a day later, it's shaping up to be one of my favourites!
