Emulator Ideas

How was Wrapper Offline created?

[prisma vale]

it's a bit of a story but back in 2019, vyond retired the legacy themes from their website

there were a lot of workarounds and mods people were doing at the time to keep using them, but visualplugin knew they weren't going to work forever, so he made goanimate wrapper

which was a completely different website from vyond and didn't rely on their stuff

so if vyond decided to "patch" everything (that's what people called it at the time), wrapper would continue working

later in 2020, visualplugin stopped working on goanimate wrapper because of some piracy scare

and benson, the original creator of wrapper: offline, came along and continued development

and the project grew into what it is now

How did Benson develop Wrapper Offline without VisualPlugin?

[prisma vale]

goanimate wrapper was pretty unfinished at the time, so he added a few features to make it more usable

also gave the project a more personalized, offline spin

if you wanted a more technical explanation of how it was made, i would suggest looking at the old readme

@prisma vale Coincidence that you talk about it, because me and @south thorn are collaborating with many other of our Vyonder friends in making an emulator for Vyond Studio called "Hexagon Studio Offline", expected to release in January next year. There's also another one called "IndieThemes" that is planned to release as well.

@lucid tangle will they be free?

[lucid tangle]

From what I've heard, yeah

Oh, and we're doing this due to the new, mercenary limitations and quotas which Vyond has decided to implement.
