A HUGE UPDATE for Ikemen Plus Ultra is here! with more exclusive features and new game modes. Thanks to everyone who has supported this initiative in past versions to keep updated this engine.

From Venezuela, I do my best with passion to present these new updates, if you want to make a donation, you can do so through☛ ko-fi.com/cabledorado2

(IT ISN'T mandatory to continue doing what I do, but like everyone else, it helps me continue creating content for Ikemen with more priority and allows me to boost its development whose route and objectives are public in the "TODO List" section of the github repository where the Ikemen Plus Ultra engine is hosted)

On my ko-fi page, you will eventually be able to find goals with proposals for extra features that I can add to the engine, I will only add them and present them on the channel if said goal is reached. I want to clarify that these additional functions do not interfere with the plans for the main development of the next versions and if they are fulfilled, they will simply be added for the update being worked on at that time.

Do you want to count on me to carry any of your projects? I am available to advise or make commissions on the Ikemen Plus Ultra engine. You can contact me through☛ gamesikemen@gmail.com

Important! I will only answer in English or Spanish.

Is time to go to the next level! See you next time! ¡GO BEYOND, PLUS ULTRA!
