Hey all,
Apparently, the developer for the game engine ActionEditor 4, (AE4, アクションエディター4, or アクエディ4 used by some circles in the Japanese community) had their site go bunk at the top of 2022. The last thing they did was release ver 1020 of their engine around 2020, and after that they went totally radio silent. There's very few existing mirrors for it (only one I know of, on a
I also have older versions laying around on my PC that can be used for localization or general faffing about with any games made with the engine. Simply drop ONLY the Editor_vXXX.exe into a folder with the same version number as the base game (if applicable) and run the Editor EXE and it will load the game in a editable state. Otherwise, you can use the full RARs to create your own games. (Given you speak Japanese and want to do as such. Though this is also predicated on if there's even guides left, a thing I'll have to look into down the line.)
Important Notes:
If you, by any mysterious chance, have ANY versions not listed in this OP PLEASE feel free to upload a copy of either the full editor version or just the Editor exe alone. Either would go a long way for any games that might need translation! And I will HAPPILY add your links to the OP so we can keep this engine around in a way that might help down the line!
Full Editor versions (blank slate to make your own games with)
Editor EXE solo (to edit already finished games)
Alternative versions
Syokusyu has uploaded extra versions for 890b, 903, 914, and 966 here.
(These come with pre-developed assets for the Japanese BBS of the engine. Resulting in mildly higher file size.
They are not clear for redistribution in a game by any 3rd party.)

dedicated to the engine) so I figured I'd post it here for safekeeping.I also have older versions laying around on my PC that can be used for localization or general faffing about with any games made with the engine.

Important Notes:
- I can't guarantee that swapping the Editor versions around with each other (E.g.: Replacing the Editor_v1020.exe with Editor_v905.exe in the full release v1020 work folder) will work or not, as I haven't tried to actually make games with the engine, as I don't speak Japanese. However, you're welcome to try, but expect that you may not see issues on first blush. Nor would I know what those issues might come to look like, or when they might show up.
- Additionally, I am unsure if using a NEWER Editor version for a game made with an older version might break things for said game. This is something you can feel free to try as well, if you want. But you should make backups, and expect any sort of wackiness. Ideally, you'd use the exact version of the Editor the game was made with. Each game file is appended with the Editor version number in it (E.g.: Stage1.stg4_905) so you can know easily which version to use.
- This engine is COMPLETELY in Japanese. It was developed as a free engine by one person in Japan. I don't know how to tear it apart to rebuild it in English, nor do I really have the time for such as is. Anyone is welcome to have a crack at it, though!
