Since the repo is no longer available sadly, we have delisted it from Defold Asset Portal.  
As a replacement you can use, e.g. Defold Orthographic or other extensions that are listed there:

> **[Defold Asset Portal](https://defold.com/assets/?tag=camera)**
>
> Browse Defold extensions, templates, tools, shaders, and reusable game-development assets from the community asset portal.

We suggest however, that you first try our camera component, to see if that doesn’t work for the most of your requirements

Neither Orthographic camera nor the standard camera module does multi-camera stuff nor proper letterboxing/aspect ratio, I do have a local copy of the source code of the extension, what does it take to revive it?

Shutter is an upgrade directly from Starly. Same project structure, but fixed a few bugs related to improper scaling when rendering to a texture, etc. Also removed the camera component completely since (in my opinion) it’s poorly designed, even after the recent attempts at improvements.

Haven’t used Defold in some time so I didn’t get around to adding documentation, but I suppose I can do that soon if people are still interested in this kind of library. For now you can use Starly’s documentation, I believe it’s almost entirely consistent.

**Edit:** This repository has been migrated from GitHub to Codeberg. Update your _game.project_ file accordingly: `https://codeberg.org/Klaleus/defold-checkpoint/archive/master.zip`
