The browser version is but a very short demo of what you can only experience by downloading the latest version. This was explained in the very first message you must have seen when you launched the game.
AI usage is by no means a secret. HoS's imagery is AI-enhanced as explained within the game and my communication channels.
As for your browser crashing I unfortunately can't offer any help there. I haven't had any other similar reports so it's likely an unfortunate fringe incident in your case. The solution to that would again be to download the game, as that's the intended experience in the first place.
That’s exactly what I’m saying. Unfortunately, the browser version isn’t enough to convince me to even download the full version. It’s so bad. I’m sorry… But if there’s no willingness to improve the production you’re marketing, the only example you have for it, I mean… Then why would anyone pay for it? I’m just trying to give useful and honest feedback. If we only ever rave about what’s posted on itch.io, nothing could ever improve. I found something closer to what I had hoped for in another creator page suggested by my feed. Most of the art and especially the audio was amazing… But it didn’t always keep pace, even with the suggested settings. Please understand that I’m not trying to reason away from accountability, and if I’m being harsh, I apologize for that… If you are offended or insulted, otherwise… That I won’t apologize for. Like I said… If I’m being harsh, it’s not my intention and I apologize. I’m just trying to be honest, because if not for the users who experience the thing, you would never know how it’s being recieved.
Buddy, the game is FREE. No one asked you to pay or support it if you don't want to. Your main criticism and I paraphrase was "Too short to find reason to support, so minimal."
I simply let you know there's an easy fix to your criticism by downloading the game, and then you proceed to go on this tangent of yours in which you contradict yourself two times.
I am not sure if this is an elaborate attempt at trolling at this point. If not, I hope this message clears up any confusion.
I’m not your buddy. I was neighborly, at first, but this sensitivity is too much. Your game DOES ask for us to pay for stuff, and I was referring to it as a whole done deal… You know, “assuming the sale” maybe I’m stupid, maybe I’m slow, but honestly, it was never an attempt at trolling. Who tf has THAT kind of time and energy, over the age of 18???!! No, it’s as I said throughout: I’m TRYING to go give you USEFUL information, it’s up to you to stomach it. I apologized for being harsh, if I was, because I recognized that I might have been unaware of that, while also pointing out that you feeling offended isn’t reasonable to apologize for. It’s not within my control to decide for you if you can handle criticism or what kinds you’ll tolerate. That being said, I hope you have the most to leave this posted and let everyone else decide how they interpret our little exchange. As with every single comment I make on this site, I hope the ultimate outcome is beneficial to you, somehow.
See, I think your point is understandable, but I don't really see any information here that's useful. Your entire premise was based off your complete misunderstanding that you have to pay for the game. It's a public build. Free to download.
The only thing close to real, useful criticism is about the AI integration in the transition art, which could have been worded much better. It comes off as you not knowing(even though it's stated ingame) that AI is a part of the art process, when it could have been worded as the integration is too noticable or seems poorly executed.
I don't see what you're talking about with the pace issue, so all I can assume is that it's a symptom of the overlying browser issue.
Ty. I guess my ruddy define may have skipped that disclosure or something. Honestly, I really do appreciate your feedback about my wording and usefulness. I really REALLY do! I’ve since updated my tablet’s system, apparently, and supposedly web viewing is something included, so maybe you’re right. I thought the update before this got me up to speed, but I guess generations back really DOES substantially outdate a machine! Meh. Anyway. Ty, for the soft approach, too. I get a lot carried away, these days, I guess. Ty.
When you click download, and the pay screen comes up, there's an embed to click on where it say's "No thanks, just take me to the downloads".
If you want to play a public build before supporting, or cannot, or choose not to support for whatever reason, you don't have to. There are specific Itch listings that do not have a public build, and that embed won't be there.
