I know this topic is a little old, but can't you base64 the Game.exe so the game not even shown until the launcher is opened, once opened it places the exe back?

Also how does the save games work if I was running this from program folders, there is many ways to hide the exe with your own launcher, I plan on using a fill screen custom lanucher what will do some http stuff, some save stuff things like this. then run the game and hide away until the game is finished. then do the closing

and cleaning and uploading the saves.

It wouldn't be any different since you're still saving the file somewhere on disk, unless you mean the save files will be stored remotely and they will be downloaded/uploaded whenever they are requested.

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
