Altough I did download the file from github, I still can't run it :(
So I've managed to run it, but unfortunately no singing happens when I compose a song and press Enter. I just get switched back to movement mode. I do here the intro music and singing of the enemies when I bump into them. Any ideas? (I tried both windows terminal and powershell)
I dig the idea, so I'd really like to play this.
Perhaps, you composed a silent song? Composing is not easy ;-)
P.S. They are not enemies, they are your friends :-D
Unfortunately I can't run the game :(
I am sorry :-( Did you try the update that can be downloaded from gitlab?
Ah, I didn't notice you have a gitlab link on the game's page. I'll try it tomorrow!
Fails to start on my computer
reports ImportError: Couldn't find the fluidsynth library (although dll is there)
That is weird :-( I assume the dll is in the same directory as the exe file… It works for us in several Windows VMs.
I am frustrated by this, since the exe has the dll bundled within itself even, but that never seemed to work :-( Will see if I can fix this problem (and perhaps it might also fix your problem :-))
maybe there are missing dependencies that fluidsynth.dll needs?
Really like the idea and visuals in this game! Unfortunately it doesn't run correctly on my PC. Have to start from command line to get it to start (console window size issue) and the font for the inventory doesn't work even after installing the HackFonts. Even so I got past the first obstacle! But I cannot get any further due to my lack of musical hearing :D Still really like the idea and creativity behind it :)
Thanks for the kind words.
We have fixed this post submission, but it’s past the deadline, so we can’t submit the fixed version. If you want to try, you can download the new version from here
The new version waits for you to resize the window, if it is too small. It also removes the fancy characters (since, unfortunately, windows console doesn’t support non bmp characters, like these 🌓ꯠ🔴～🔶⩤🔷⩥🞜🔴🔶⩤🔷⩥⦔🞜⋈🔶🔶🔵🔶ꚩ⩤🔶⩥🔵).
The new windows terminal app should support them, so, alternatively, you can try running the old version from the terminal app.
Thank you! Copied over the dll from the submission here to the .exe from the link you provided and the fixes are there. I got farther now when the characters in the inventory are there. But not much farther because there is a lot of combinations and my musical hearing is still non-existent :D
