untune - I doubt it's anything you've done incorrectly - it's almost certainly a W10 driver problem. The driver self-updated a couple of days ago. It's not like Microsoft to roll out a new software without all features working properly... I just commented because anyone who uses it on W10 may experience similar problems. :/

Much as I would love to try this out, it just gives me a black screen (it makes the layer appear black). W10, NVIDIA GTX 750 Ti.

Thanks — & spongehammer! Every time I think of something vaguely original I then find out it's been used before; even Penumbra (which was my first name idea way back). I Think I am inclined to keep Umbra and add a sub-title. Thanks for your thoughts, I appreciate the support.

Umbra: Who stole my eyes

Hilarious! Love it. Umbra: frequent death...

I'm thinking of something like:

Umbra: Shadow of Death....

I might try some title graphics to inspire me....

As already posted earlier, there's another game out there with the same name as this one... The other Umbra isn't anything like my game, but the name conflict is giving me some heartache - unfortunately there's no such thing as a monopoly on old Latin words!

What should I do? I'm tempted to change the name to something similar - another Latin or Spanish word meaning dark and eerie, perhaps? There are plenty to choose from. Or should I close my eyes and hope it's ok to leave it the way it is? Any suggestions welcome... Thanks.

Hello! Here's a little something to prove that I've not been sitting idly by staring at Facebook or waiting for an exciting c2 update. Ok, I may have been doing a little of the above, but I have also been doing a little bit of work on level 6. I've decided that this will be the last level (otherwise I'll never finish) - it'll contain one large puzzle and then (hopefully, 'cos the work's not done) a huge boss fight. Perhaps with guns and some other crazy stuff.

spongehammer, similar for me - I rarely get to see my sprite fonts in the editor unless I just happen onto the magic zoom for the view position (or turn effects off). I could well be wrong, but I wonder if this problem is somehow related to this bug?

Just to add, for anyone who cannot see this, this is what is happening (all of the layers have parallax in editor set to off):

I also see something unusual. It seems to be something to do with, or at least exacerbated by, the Parallax in Editor option for the UI layer. There's no weird jumping around of the objects in that layer when its Parallax in Editor is set to ON.

Over the last 2 years or so I've experienced this on 3 laptops and one desktop... If it's a driver problem then it appears to be endemic across a broad selection of hardware.

A pity. I do hope that they did market research of their users, or they could end up where they were before: with almost no one paying for their services. But this time with no free user base advertising their product with a splash...
