Hi, I wanted to play this but I am unable to download. Itchio is prompting me to try alternate download mode but that is also not working. Not sure what is happening so wanted to relay the issue to the team.
Oh, very curious! This is our first report of it. Which version are you trying to download? Version 1.2.8 Windows? Another? Also, are you doing it through a browser or through the Itch app?
Hi there! Yes, I tried downloading V1.2.8 Windows and I'm doing so via Chrome browser.
How frustrating! I just downloaded on Chrome when I wasn't logged in, so it's not a general issue but something more specific. Browsing people who have run into this problem before, sometimes it might be because there's a link that says http:// rather than https:// Any chance you see that anywhere on your browser or what the link is trying to call?
Alternately, do you get the same thing if you download directly from the page rather than from the Spooktober page? https://alternativewonders.itch.io/demons-of-the-venta-quemada
Ah, I was able to download from the jam submission page just fine! That worked! Yay! Ahhh. Thank you!
Yes, the link for when I tried to download from the game page does contain [ https:// ].
I absolutely love this. I was hooked from the opening animation before you even got to the game menu! Like what?!?! You all put so much effort into the game's presentation that it really paid off when there weren't that many backgrounds or sprite poses to emphasize certain parts of the narrative. I don't think the game fits the spooky tag because it's more gothic literature or historical fiction. I suggest adding a gothic/gothic fiction tag to your itchio page and playing into that niche for VNs. Good job!
TY so much for giving it a try! I've added the gothic tag.
I watched someone stream this, for about 2 hours. Nice story! It was really interesting, and I liked how the camera did slow pans, and the animations.
I was the coder and scene director. Your comments make me happy, and I'm glad you enjoyed the short showcase of the game on the stream. :)
Hey there. To qualify for judging you need a downloadable Windows build. Please try to upload one ASAP and make it visible as part of your submission.
It's up. Hackjob of a build but we're in. :)
