As you may have seen, Solarus 1.0.1 has just been released. The project is becoming quite big, as it incorporates an engine, 2 games (3 games soon) and a quest editor. With the aim of increasing the project’s visibility, an official logo has been made. We hope it will remind you vintage 90′s video...
Read more →An update of Solarus 1.0 is available! This update fixes a bunch of bugs of previous versions (some of them were very old!), and improves the documentation as well as the quest editor.

Now, there have proper download pages here on solarus-games.org. I have just added a...
Read more →The new Lua scripting API discussed in my previous post is making good progress! I have written the full documentation.
