Game opens with a white screen and doesn't run for me, sorry. Maybe don't package it as an exe? Windows Defender thinks it's a virus, but a default export of RM games won't trigger it.
Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve tested it on three different computers, and it ran fine on all of them. As for the antivirus, I’m not sure—I didn’t specifically test it with any antivirus software, just the default Windows Defender, and it didn’t flag it as a virus.
The main reason I’m sharing it as a .exe is that it contains plugins and resources that are paid assets. I don’t want people to use them without actually paying the original creators of the resources (I’ve seen this happen a lot, and I really don’t like it).
Can you please share a screenshot of the white screen,please?
I mean it's literally just a white box so there's nothing to look at.
Just to check, I'm not supposed to make a new project and replace the exe with this one, am I? There were no installation instructions.
Off topic, I also wanted to suggest changing the name. For some reason this game doesn't come up when I search itch.io. Also, there's already an RM game called "Echoes of Aetheria" on Steam made by one of the biggest RM dev's.
Update: Yes, It happened with me today, white screen, that was weird. I think it happens if you have RPG maker MZ (or another version of it) running in the background, it will give you this white screen. Please close your RPG Maker software and try again(let me know).
No, you don’t need to do anything—just run it. It might take 5-10 seconds to open because of the compression, but it runs smoothly after that. I’ve repackaged it slightly differently this time, so if you want to download it again and give it another try, I hope it works now.
As for the game not showing up, yes, I noticed it doesn’t show up in the search results. I assumed it was just a delay on Itch’s end and that it would appear after a few days(I will email them regarding this). Regarding the name itself, I’m considering changing the world name since I’ve realized it’s already being used by some other games.
