RIP Corona Labs

Corona Labs will be shutdown on May 1, 2020.  https://coronalabs.com/blog/2020/02/12/corona-labs-annual-update/ This is not just significant because it will effect the velocity of my game development, but it symbolizes so much to me. It was the first game engine I used after Adobe's Flash, and I used it for about 7-8 years almost exclusively (I did some Unity as well). When I think about game programming, I think in Corona's APIs. I have their APIs memorized by heart and a great custom setup. I'm also in the middle of developing about 3 projects in Corona SDK and updating 2. I will have to make a decision about what to do with these. I'm not sure if I want to depend on the small community to support the Corona engine without a company having full time employees behind it. Anyways, I'll update later about my decision. I also have another blog post ready to go explaining my future in game development. Not sure when I'll post that. RIP Corona Labs. Your sup
