addedI want to comment on why there has not been a release since 2025.03.23. While I have started working on a new game, I have not forgotten about this one, and I am not 100% happy with its current state.
addedAs I started working on prototypes of new games and worked on fixing defects for Kung Pao Banqi, I grew dissatisfied with the Godot game engine. Godot is great for what it is. It is quick to learn, has an easy-to-use interface, and a good community.
changedThe updated version of Kung Pao Banqi will have a smaller installation, dropping from ~250 MB to 75 MB or less. It'll also have drag-and-drop support in addition to the click-based movement that is currently implemented. It is also built for cross-platform support from the ground up. I plan on releasing native macOS and Linux versions.
changedWatch for the updated version in the coming months.
addedOnce the new version is released, there are additional enhancements I plan on adding.
changedKung Pao Banqi is my first commercially released game. Thank you to everyone who has purchased and tried it.

However, Godot (and other engines such as Unity or Unreal Engine) contain a lot of bloat. They contain a lot of features I will never use. This causes the distributable to be larger, and the code is more difficult to debug.
I created a custom game engine called Popcorning Guinea Pig, and over the last couple of months I have been working to port Kung Pao Banqi from Godot to Popcorning Guinea Pig.
