Hi!

Guilherme here (the dev) and I'm glad to announce that I just released the version 0.9.5 of the engine!

For this release, my focus was on the new Particle System (yes!!) and the asset thumbnails. I also did some important bug fixings and usability improvements, as always. And yes! We now have a bunch of cool thumbnails. The assets and the scenes have rendered thumbs to help you localize what you're looking for. The particles are fun to play around, I even did a video that you'll be able to see bellow!

Something important for this version: I included some debug informations. If you experience a crash in the engine, there is a file called "fileLog.txt" created near the engine executable that you can send it to me on my discord server. That way I can figure out what is going on and help you!

And talking about the discord server: Do you want official support? Chat with me or even suggest new features and be part of this new amazing community? Then you definitely must join us!
