But here's a small recap there:

A Visual Programming Engine, with hybrid block and node programming
No programming language knowledge required! Make true your ideas with blocks, and thanks to the powerful drag-and-drop system, make your elements interact together like 2D sprites.
The appealing UI is there for an even better experience, so the application creation process be a piece of cake!
Main features:
A Multiplatform Engine, for Nintendo Switch, Wii and Microsoft Windows
What better to have to code once, and see its application run same on various platforms? With Gen7 Engine, that's possible! Gen7.1 Engine can currently produce executables for the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Windows and much more soon, including mobile devices.

How can I get it?
That's easy! You can get it on Gen7 Engine Download Center: https://idstudio.live/gen7engine/register/
If you're a Gen7 Engine Patreon, you can too activate your Patreon Edition copy through this portal!
Quick Start Guide:
1- Download the setup from the link above, and run it.
Please dismiss Antivirus or SmartScreen warnings, these are false positives (I have contacted Avast to whitelist it).
2- Once you have checked all the licenses, you can proceed to the installation. Make sure you have enough space
3- The setup will download and install the necessary files.
It may take a while so please don't interrupt the process, even if Windows report it wrongly as not responding (that's not the case).
4- Congratulations, Gen7 Engine is installed!
Now please run it from the shortcut created on the desktop.
5- Let's make our first application in Gen7 Engine!
Create a new project, with any name you would like:
And drag and drop our first node in the Node Editor, then in it drag and drop the Fill Color event box. We will fill the screen with the blue color, so we use 0,0,255 (RGB).
6- Now, let's build our simple project!
Click the Build button, then click on Switch in VisuXML window. Wait til it finishes.
7- Awesome, we made our first program using Gen7 Engine!
Run it on Yuzu (a Switch emulator) using the build made in C:\Gen7-Engine\sandbox\switch; we get our screen filled with blue, congratulations. This program is actually very simple, but this is just the beggining! Up to you to add 2D sprites, advanced interactivity, etc to make your application!

Important information:
This release will be the last version of Gen7 Engine if no Patreon targets are achieved. Unfortunately, I can't anymore keep the development of the engine without support (Patreon is pretty clear about that, only 1 the last time I checked), and I already spent too much time without. Gen7 Engine achieved a complexity I never thought I'd reach but things get more and more challenging, which my only will alone can't overcome. So that's why, if you like our project, want to see it grow and become a full featured engine, please support it or its death will be the only outcome. https://www.patreon.com/gen7engine
