Installation and Usage

Included with the download for the Engine is a README.txt that will help guide you through the process.

Documentation at this point is still fairly sparse but is being flushed out in the form of a series of YouTube videos. I highly recommend that you reach out to me on Discord and allow me to help you through the setup process. Please see the following link: https://discord.gg/MZpPcZF

The usual installation process is simply to download the executable files. The Discord bot is optional, but you will require the Game Engine and Database Seeder. Before running the Game Engine, you should launch the Database Seeder, which will configure the engine for first use.

Similarly, all updates from previous versions are a matter of overwriting the executable. You do not need to re-run the database seeder for updates, the Game Engine will handle any update tasks itself.

You can view a video tutorial of the installation process for Windows here:
