I tried the fixed version (Windows), but it seems to crash after the first fight. The aesthetics were amazing. But the game seems to not follow the theme (as far I have seen, correct me if I am wrong please). And also I didn't see any detectiv related.
I hope you fix the bug. I wana try it. Nice work!
It would follow the theme very well if you could get by the crashes, but we weren't able to fix them in a reasonable amount of time. Sorry about that. The detective related work is also the same - the crashes prevent you from getting to it. We intend to update it once we're confident we've fixed everything.
The art for the game looks beautiful! Unfortunately, the "New Game" button doesn't do anything for me, I'm just stuck in the menu :( (Windows)
See the update below - there's a fixed version on my own itch page (I ran out of time before being able to re-upload the working version).
Right on! I got the updated version and was able to get past the title screen. I got through a couple of the battles, but it still crashed on me twice so far, seems to happen when changing scenes. Once when exiting a battle reward screen and once entering a battle. Sorry :(
Yes, we know of that crash and are still working actually to fix it. Not 100% sure what's wrong, tbh - it's a weird and thorny problem. But we appreciate you trying out the game!
I liked the look of the game. Unfortunately I got a crash after a fight under the table.
Lot of good mechanics, great work :-)
Hey,
nice little game you made, really like it. played and rated.
please feel free to play and rate my game:https://itch.io/jam/godot-wild-jam-24-our-2-year/rate/737061
Haha, I loved the cutscene at the beginning! I had to play the fixed build too, but glad I could play.
I really enjoyed the music in this game, it was perfect. And I enjoyed the fun personality on the dog.
I got a chuckle at the "this isn't mine" line, but like others, it crashes or gets stuck for me soon after. I tried both skipping and not-skipping the intro.
Really liked the Final Fantasy style vibes, and the whole "Dogtective" concept is quite clever. Enjoyed the music a lot too!
Like others have mentioned the game crashed for me as well (fixed build). It seemed to occur once both of my party members had 0 hp and got attacked? Not positive though. Since the encounters seem random I wasn't able to complete it, since they can't be avoided. :(
This may count as a game breaking bug? Can you get it fixed and updated?
Unfortunately we already had one game-breaking bug with our original HTML5 version, we got in touch with them to upload a new version, but had another issue with the export process :'(
The Final Fantasy series was a huge inspiration, guess it came through pretty obvious! We'll be updating the game, perhaps when the voting has finished. There's an issue when loading some stuff after the battles that we need to look into.
Also, you can use "Tail" (the idea is that you're putting your tail between your legs and cowering away) to run from a battle. The encounters are random, but you have a 100% success rate of running if you want to explore more of the map/game.
I have the same comment as pulawskig.
Very promising art style. Pokemon-like fights makes them easy to read, but no health indicator and no obvious trigger of a fight makes them confusing. Game crush after first fight ended and exp points are obtained.
Would you like to check our game and give it some great feedback?
I like the art a lot, and the style, and the controls are very responsible. But crashed very easily in my pc (windows fixed build). Oh and the music is very nice as well
Artstyle is pretty nice and the dog is very cute, unfortunately the game often crashes (used the fixed build). The fights are confusing because there's no indication of enemies' life. This could be good with a little more work.
Thanks! We talked about adding a mechanic to unlock the enemies' health by leveling up your "sniffer level" (those blocks at the top left corner that alert you when a "clue" is near) but we didn't have time to really develop the sniffer idea enough. A couple of us are interested in continuing work on this, so hopefully we can fill in the holes. Another issue at present is there's no way to heal yourself once you run out of magic.
Definitely bit off a bit more than we could chew, i think we really needed another 24 hours to be able to finish it properly. Thanks for testing it out though and for the kind words!
Please find a fixed Windows build here: https://wolfgangsenff.itch.io/dogtective-pi-fixed The version uploaded here has a bug that doesn't allow you to start a new game. I believe it's actually a Godot export bug, but am not sure yet.
The same issue occurs with the Linux build.
https://wolfgangsenff.itch.io/dogtective-pi-fixed
Linux version is still bugged for me. Could you upload a Linux version? The art looks great, I'd love to play.
I'm on a different machine now, going to try to upload the Linux one from this to see if it works. I need a few moments.

Hey, it works! However, for some reason the characters start out with very low health...I died after the third battle and did not make it very far :(
Yeah, we needed more time to get it to a stable point. It is very tough right now, to say the least. But we're intending to continue working on it.
Yeah, thanks for checking it out! The characters started with low health because i was testing the stats showing on the battle system and never got around to changing them. We didn't quite make it to the polish stage so as BackAt50Ft said it's still pretty rough. There is a spell you can use to heal one of your characters (the cat's magic is under "Hiss" and the spell "Purr" lets you heal one of your characters). But once you're out of magic it's kinda game over for now :(
