Shadowbox

 This is what my SIP currently is, and it's been a rough road for development, I have little programming knowledge, I can think like a programmer, but when it comes to the languages themselves, I'm lost. Two previous versions of the game looked a bit like this For a moment while making this I thought that I may have to abandon the idea simply because I didn't have the skills necessary to build it to the quality I wanted. However, after reevaluating my engine options, I found that I can build the game in an engine I am intimately familiar with, I know Construct might not be the most professional thing these days, but for what I'm making, it'll do just fine.
