Most of the images and videos are inside the *.rpa files you'll find inside the /game/ folder, they're not normally accessible unless you use a tool to unpack them. That's why those folders are mostly empty.

As for that error, it's a known issue. For that particular image, the code refers to it as *.webp but in the release version it's a *.png instead. If you want, you can drop this copy of the image in the /images/v13 folder and the game will be able to load it.

Wow, thank you torresm! Very insightful. Yes, soon after I posted, I figured the assets may have been in the *.rpa files as they're so much bigger in size than other files in the `game/` directory. I was just looking into how to unpack *.rpa files when you responded.

And I appreciate you sharing the file. I'll load that into the game then. How did you find the file in *.webp format if it's only included as *.png in the game assets currently, if you don't mind me asking?

Yes, that is also causing him issues, between moving and dealing with his father's estate, he is having a rough year.
Runey easily one of the most reliable devs on this entire forum IMHO. If dude says he needs slack we should give him slack. Plenty of freeloaders and half ass scammers elsewhere for folks to be bitter with. Runey isnt one of them.

You're welcome!

Oh that part is simple, I extracted the png and used an image editor to convert it to webp. :WeSmart:

If you follow Runey you will realize that a lot of things are going on in his life from losing his Father (R.I.P.) to immigrating to a new country and moving his entire household belongings in the process, He has a lot on his plate right now. All of us just need to be patient and wait till things settle down & get back to normal. ;)
After 11 months without updates, all those things are just the causes of abandonment.

And I have facts.

It is NOT abandoned. I was helping him with a scene the other day. He just hasn't had a lot of time to work on it (couple days a week at best), and is trying to work on it while traveling back and forth around the globe and dealing with immigration and lawyers.

Even the arbitrary rules of the site, it takes 18 months without update to get the abandoned tag, and even that doesn't mean the game is actually abandoned, just slow.

I did not know that 18 months was the line. I thought I had seen games marked abandoned at six months without update.

So, is he still collecting donations?

That is not the only way for it to happen, if there is no word from the devs, or if they say it's abandoned, there are other reasons for why it could be marked. And the rules changed over covid.

I would assume so, he has a lot of expenses right now. They are "donations". He is open about what he is doing, and people who want to pause their patronage, they can. But he is still working, the supporters are still getting test builds, things are progressing, it's just slower than we would all like.

There's a much shorter deadline based on when the dev last made any kind of communication about the project (whether on this forum, their Patreon/Substar/etc., or a public-facing Twitter/Discord/etc. account), I think that's only something like 90 days; the 18 month deadline is for the last time an actual update to the game itself was released. Since Runey hasn't gone incommunicado, he gets the 18 months.
