Here it is, the news of the news, the next version takes a big step forward.
I certainly didn't work on IFSCL all the time from the last release, but still, there is something that truly shines out, apart from Carthage !
Some Facts
-IFSCL will look like much more professional
-I will definetly be able to implement the marabounta
-This will give...equality between users
-I’ve spend more than 295 dollars for this improvement (plugins..)
So the big super news is :
IFSCL can now run way faster than previous versions
-well, you still need a decent computer with good specs, but there's really a HUGE difference in terms of how much animations, graphs and windows can be shown with a really FLUID balance-
Technical Part :
I’ve optimized and moved ifscl on a new engine, UNITY.
The IFSCL will keep it’s name by the way (the f meaning flash technologies), the game has never been running on flash player it was previously adobe air.. And still :
90 % of the game is still made on adobe flash pro
Also, I've been able to recode preferences saving system that wasn't working with the new version. On the other hand, new version available message isn't there anymore, can't connect directly with the servers right now. Maybe this will be back with a next version.
There's also a few downsides, macOS not supported anymore without bootcamp, and the file taking 60MO more, but since most of your are downloading movies that are up to a few GO, I think you can handle that. (and you don't download a new version any month, since I've taken so much time since last version...)
Other notes :
Contrary to what has been said in the last news, png sequence I was using will still be png sequence and not exported to videos, due to that same new feature above.
The windows where you falls into numerical sea has disappeared, now it's directly in the lyokowarrior virtual card, takes less space, much easier to read, logic to be shown here since It overlaps the warriors commands :
Next news will be about what has been made and still need to be made before the release of the new version, that Is now clearly planned to be released during this summer. Also a few screenshots and possibly, a more precise date for the release.

Bootcamp? Have you tried running the application in Wine on Mac? You'd be surprised how many Windows-only applications now run in Wine and Crossover scot-free. It's too bad Adobe Flash is dead, but I love classic Lyoko, so it's good that you're moving it to a big-name 3D engine. The thing is, I think Unity is cross-platform compatible, but I know UDK is, and it's comparable to Unity and just as free and efficient an engine if not better. I'm wonder why you're having so much trouble compiling it for other OSs.
Oh yes, sorry, I'm saying bootcamp 'cause it's the only one I had in mind, of course, many others should work of course.
Anyway yes, Flash Player is dead, but mainly for big games in my mind. Doctor Who : A Brilliant Game, an other game I've made, Is working very well on all platforms with flash player, and only need adobe air to work on tablets that are no-friendly with flash player ;)
About cross platform, it's simply because Unity isn't all, there's also the plugins I'm using to transfer flash data/graph/animations to unity.
And these plugins are not ultra-friendly compatible with other things that PC. (It doesn't work for WebExport, as an example)
For Mac, I would need to buy an other license of that plugin, and It would cost me 245 dollars more. Which, honestly, I don't want to afford for the game, since it's completely free.
