Cheat Engine

[Alcedes]

I have been trying to use CE in this game (available from windows store) but am unable to identify ANY of the addresses. I cannot find HP, MP, currency, or even item stacks in the inventory.

It looks like the developer may have found a way to prevent CE from being used effectively.

Does anyone potentially more skilled with CE than I am feel like helping me figure out what has been done?

I tried by starting with the values being displayed and scanned then "Next Scan" just looking for changed values. I even tried starting with unknown values and re-scanning for changes but couldn't seem to drill down to anything.

*EDIT*
I have since managed to locate the game's currency. But if you edit it, the game knows and crashes.

I guess not all games can be "Cheat Engine'd". This dev was able to prevent it entirely.

Quite impressive.

It is not uncommon for games to try and 'protect' values to deter or prevent cheating. However it does not mean the game can't be cheated/hacked. You simply need to figure out how the game is protecting the value(s) you wish to edit and properly edit them in the manner the game expects. This is commonly done with some small/light form of encoding/encryption, usually something basic like XOR'ing the value with a key.
