Is this also allow player to update the patch inside their game? if yes i need it cuz playstore max size need to be 200mb XD want to seperate the asset and APK
Hello! Thanks for reaching out. 👋🏻
Just to let you know, this plugin doesn’t update the game itself. It simply checks the game version and lets you know if there’s a new one available, showing the changes you’ve written in.
I can’t guarantee it will work on mobile since I work with Windows, and the file system functions are different for each operating system.
I know that Google Play has an API to check the APK version and, if there’s an update, it takes you to the store and makes you update. However, this isn’t integrated into the plugin because, as I mentioned, I’m not familiar with how things work on mobile devices. 😅
ILet me know if you have any other questions.👍🏻
Hello! I'm experiencing some issues with this plugin.

Hello, remember that you can watch the video to see how the plugin works and how to use it correctly:
We will be answering each of your questions one by one:
- Regarding some parameters not initializing when you install the plugin, that's normal. You simply need to double-click on each field to load the default information and accept it in the popup window.
This happens because sometimes developers make changes to the defaults of the params or the args, as the array needs to be defined separately and a very long default is cumbersome to work with. That's why I prefer to do it this way.
Nevertheless, this should not cause you any problems.
- As for the position of the Spinner, I'm not sure which one you are referring to, but you can adjust the X and Y offset right there in the parameters. The configuration for each one is in each parameter.
- Regarding the Request Animation Frame, it does not occur for me, but it should not be a problem. That is more of a warning given by the console or Pixi. But it is not an error as such.
- If the buttons are being cut off... Well... It might be something to do with the Window Skin you are using, because as you can see, it displays correctly for me:
I recommend trying a different Window Skin to see if that fixes it.
- When you install the plugin, you are enabling the system to check for updates. You can't turn it off as such, but you can make it basically imperceptible.
For that, you can use a configuration like this:
- Regarding adding the current and online version, that would be possible to do, but it would need to be a separate plugin or an addition to a plugin you are using, as it would involve adding this additional text to the Title scene you are using and managing some situations.
That's exactly what the Pretitle scene provided by this plugin is for, allowing you to easily view this information.
You can get the current version of the game and the online version with the plugin commands already provided in the plugin.
I hope I have answered your questions!
Best regards.
Thank you for the exaustive and quick reply! :) I'll try to reposition the spinner with the plugin parameters and use a different skin to see if it changes anything.
Hey, since you put this in your bundle (which i bought previously) is there any way for me to use this plugin? It feels a little like a punishment, that i may have bought the bundle to early.. i really like your work and i love to support you in the future don’t get me wrong, but it would be nice if you could add it retroactive for all the buyers :)

Hello! thanks for your support!
I don't know how Itchio works in this case, I think that if I add a new item to a package that you have previously purchased, it will also give you access.
If it lets you download it, then perfect, take advantage of the promotion since it ends at the end of January! :)
I hope you find it useful, greetings and thanks again for the support.
That's so nice of you, Undermax. I bought the package today so I don't have this problem, but I think your behavior is very nice. Thank you!
