About Otaku Engine

Otaku Engine is not a game development engine. This is more like a toy box to build wacky maps with your images.

I don't have time for marketing, and i do this cause i like it.[/spoiler] ***[spoiler] "But i bought the game" I am seriously really thankful, along with all the people who played it and have been sharing maps for years at this point. I plan on keeping the game an actual standalone "game/software" and not rely on any items or online-only content. I guess the only way to thank old players would maybe be to add everyone to the "non-free-to-play" club on Discord later.[/spoiler]

Back when I was younger, I used the BUILD editor that came with Duke Nukem 3d to make virtual art galleries of cool images I found online. (Painstakingly downloaded one at a time via dial-up.) The Duke3D texture file had plenty of space for me to happily load in as many low-resolution images as I wanted, and I could apply those to walls and such in the BUILD editor. I could even string multiple images together to create little animations. Of course most of the images I used were from anime, but also video games and such. Stumbling upon Otaku Engine reminded me of those days. The ease and simplicity I remember from creating maps in Duke3d is here. Probably easier actually. While my use of Duke3d was sort of off-label, Otaku Engine is tailor made for exactly that purpose. I'm having a blast so far. You might notice it's been a while since the last update, but based on the blog the creator has provided, it appears the only reason for that is that there's a BIG update en route. An actual gameplay loop is being implemented, and the simple creator tools are being expanded into basically a simple game engine, so soon you can create more than just galleries.

Nothing seems to work correctly. Opening a map led to my screen turning red and fading to black. Then just nothing. No respawn, just blackness. No other maps loaded. Some UI elements froze and covered up other UI elements. For example, the information about the map I was stuck in wouldn't go away and I couldn't exit because the button to exit was covered by the information about the map. One of the worst experiences I've had in a game/application.
