Greetings everyone! Microsoft has declared VBScript outdated, and in future updates and versions of Windows, this functionality will not work. You might ask: "What does this have to do with your game series VanillaGame.exe?" Well, it's quite simple: my games use VBScript functionality for what's known as 'breaking the fourth wall' and other features. Consequently, and obviously, in the near future, my games won't work correctly on modern Windows systems. Therefore, I plan to either add a check for the presence of VBScript in the system, and if it's absent, the game simply won't launch (yes, it's a workaround, but it's better than not fixing anything at all). Or, I could rewrite the game logic without using VBScript, but I don't think it's worth spending my time on this since it's not a large-scale Triple-A project. In any case, I decided to let everyone who might be interested know about this, and feel free to share your thoughts on this situation and how I should proceed if you wish. Expect an update related to this event in the near future (or don't, as the discontinuation of VBScript is planned for somewhere around 2027 as it will be disabled by default, but it can still be enabled, by then everyone will have forgotten about my games hahaha... well, time will tell). Thank you.

UPDATE FROM 05.10.2024: Updates have been released for VanillaGame.exe and VanillaGame2.exe, which add a check for the presence of VBScript in the system and fix some discovered bugs. If VBScript is missing, the game will not start and will inform the user what needs to be done to run the game, offering to install the VBScript component.
