Hi. I've posted about this on my steam page. I do not have a release that, since I've failed to meet the last one. I'm just taking my time with the game, don't want to rush it.

I know, but hopefully you won't feel that way when playing the full game.

Well this is awkward... I'm really sorry, brother, but the release has been delayed. The scope and scale of the game has increased a lot and it will take some more time. I know it's very dissapointing, but I've figured I should take my time with it. I'd rather delay it than release some rushed garbage.

I will make an announcement later on steam.

Hey man, thanks a lot for trying out the demo!

As for your complaints, you'll be glad to know they're all fixed in the full game.

By the way, you CAN open the menu, but it's on the M key instead of Escape. I've added the possibility to alter every key in the settings though, so you guys can customize them.

Thanks a lot man, happy to hear you like it!

Hey man, thanks for the question!

Yeah, I plan to release the full game on 28th october, for the steam halloween event.

Also I plan to make it available for consoles too, but that's gonna come after the PC release.

Well honestly I did use the AI to generate a blank "medical form" and I filled in the details myself (I kinda hate using AI but it's still a useful tool..). Only because I couldn't find a mental health evaluation form online that I was happy with.

Hello, Calexico.

Honestly, and this might be shameful to admit, I have done close to no research on PTSD. I just went with what basic knowledge I had on PTSD and just followed my heart as how to best represent it in my game. I thought about how I would feel if I was in Michael's shoes and went with that. I am really happy to hear some of you guys say that I managed to convey that feeling accurately, without insulting or belittling actual PTSD victims.

I'm sorry I couldn't provide you with actual research to help you out with your presentation, but if you have any question I'd be happy to answer them. 

I hope the full game will live up to your expectations as well.

God bless and good luck with your project!

❤️

Hey man, how are ya?  I am a very small creator as well, so you don't have to specify that haha!

Honestly, it doesn't tie into the game at all, other than the PTSD the prisoners suffered from the experiment. It is just an easter egg and a way to bring a little attention to the horrors of what the piece of shit communists did to my people. The faces you see on the walls are the political and mostly religious prisoners of the experiment, a lot of which are saints today. I'm really happy somebody actually looked into it!

Thank you so much for the awesome comment, brother, I really appreciate it. Good luck with the documentary and your channel, I hope you make it big one day!

God bless.

Hey brother, thanks for the heads up. The head box has been completely removed in the latest steam demo update, it was giving me too many problems. So I did know about that one. I didn't know about the fact that running too soon means the demon doesn't chase, so I really appreciate it.

God bless!

Google Drive link is up.

You might be right, I didn't think of alternative links. Thanks for getting it to my attention, man. I'll add some alternatives.

Should be fixed in the latest version available for download (from mega), but thanks a lot for pointing it out, it really helps. God bless <3

Yeah it's a weird bug, that's why I removed the box completely in the latest version. Thanks for pointing it out though.

Hey man, sorry to hear that. What do you mean by "box with the head"? If you're talking about that small nightstand that you have to pick the lock of, it has been removed in the latest version of the demo, give that a try if you want.

Olá, meu amigo. Apenas a versão final da demo. O jogo não acabou, será lançado em setembro.

Hey. Yeah, no, I have no idea what's causing it. When I build the game, I specifically tick the option to include the required prerequisite installers as well. So I don't know.. You're one of like maybe 2 or 3 people that have had this issue, out of tens of thousands, so I have no idea. Sorry.

Thank you. Don't worry, I didn't take it in bad faith. I already implemented a "fix" where the shake stops completely while in the menu and then resumes when you put the tablet down. I just didn't upload it because I'm working on the full game and it has really swamped me.

There is already a "fix". You have a button in the settings to disable the camera shake. Did you look around even for a little bit?

No, I'm not sure since I will not be rushing it. But hopefully around september/october.

Of course, my friend, there will be many languages in the full game, including spanish and portuguese.

Thank you for the offer to help, I will likely take you up on that, since I mostly rely on google translate haha

Thanks so much for playing, brother, God bless <3

Happy to hear that, brother. Sorry you ran into that issue :/

Hi.

Try going to  C:\Users\"your name"\AppData\Local and delete the FracturedMind folder there. See if that fixes it.

I'm really glad to hear that, man. I'm happy you enjoyed it.

Sorry for the bugs and stuff, I know that sucks... :/

Hope I can fix all of them. The fatal crashes are really weird though, there shouldn't be anything to cause them. But I guess that's just the risk you take when making games in Unreal haha. But the engine is amazing, so I guess it balances out.

Yeah the torso spawns after interacting with the TV. 

Hello. What fatal crashes have you encountered, exactly? Because that seems weird...

Also, nothing you've described is a bug. The bodyparts are meant to be placed by literally getting close to the body and placing them, no interaction is needed.

You are not able to open the menu or bring up the gun because that would bug it. You just need to place the bodypart and you're good.

Hope you give it another try, I'm sorry the experience was dissapointing to you!

God bless.

Hahaha, brother, are you in my fucking head or what's up? I am literally JUST watching his video now lmfao

Hey man. It is, actually, right at the top of the description :D

Hahaha, you're an awesome guy, brother. God bless!

That is really weird... does it give you any errors while trying to extract the file?

Welp... then there's nothing I can do, really. It seems the graphics card can't deal with Lumen, most likely. Other than that, I have no idea what's going on. This is the first time it's happened.

Alright, maybe try downloading it again from the site and extracting it. Delete the "Fractured Mind" folder in AppData Local first.

Reinstall? Did you install anything? It's just a winrar file that you need to extract and just run the .exe.

Did you use the itch.io app by any chance?

Try that one then

Hmm.. I'm pretty sure the video memory isn't enough. 

Go to: C:\Users\"your name"\AppData\Local\FracturedMind\Saved\Config\Windows and open Settings.ini

Change the following settings:

sg.ResolutionQuality=from 100 to something like 65 for start

sg.ViewDistanceQuality= from 3 to 1

sg.ShadowQuality= from 3 to 1

sg.TextureQuality= from 3 to 1

sg.EffectsQuality= from 3 to 1

sg.FoliageQuality= from 3 to 1

r.setres= from 1920x1080f to 1360x768f 

Give that a try. I'm not guaranteeing it will work, but it's worth a shot.

Damn.. well honestly I have no idea what it could be. What is your graphics card?

Hello. It seems like you don't have dx12 installed? Try updating your graphics driver, if you have Nvidia.

I have no idea why your menu is so blurry, it's weird. I've playing on 1080, 2k and 4k and never had this issue. 

There is an option in the gameplay tab to stop the camera shake, so if you want to change settings you can turn it off and the tablet will stop moving.

Honestly the DLSS should work, but it's not a guarantee. The Nvidia plugin for Unreal Engine is still very much in development so there's nothing I can do, unfortunately :/

The "LABEL" of the resolution scale is just a visual bug, you don't need to get back to label. The max is 100 and the minimum I recommend going is ~65.
