Ahh, I knew I couldn't be the first to notice this! Can you link me to the github discussion?

Hello,

When European customers buy games on itch, VAT is added to the purchase price. This makes some sense, but it is not the standard way of selling products in the EU. In fact, I believe EU VAT law is that the price shown to the customer on the store page should include VAT, though I'm no lawyer so don't quote me there. But regardless, that's what other online stores do, including for example amazon. If an EU customer buys a product on amazon that's listed for EUR 15, they pay 15, and the vat is included in that 15. This is different to how sales tax tends to work in the US.

This is a bit of a problem for sellers, because we can only list a price in USD on itch. That is the global price for the product. If an EU customer buys it, they pay 15 USD, converted to EUR, and then with VAT on top. But if they buy the same product elsewhere, they often will wind up paying less in total.

This is a bit of a problem as some other online videogame marketplaces have rules that a product sold there cannot be sold cheaper elsewhere. Therefore, if the USD price on that other marketplace must be the same as it is on itch. But as other marketplaces have regional pricing, the seller can take the included VAT into account when determining the EUR price. This is not possible on itch. The only way to have the prices be the same would be for the EUR price on other marketplaces to match that on itch, which is often significantly higher than desired.

The bottom line is, it's not possible for sellers to sell a game on itch at the same net EUR price as other marketplaces. I would propose two solutions:

  • Have VAT be included in the listed price (potentially an option sellers could enable, though again EU law may actually require this)
  • Implement regional or currency-specific pricing to itch

Hopefully that makes sense. And please correct me if I have anything wrong. And again: not a lawyer / accountant :D

OK, I've mailed you another possible thing to try :D

Thanks! I've put a new windows build up on itch that hopefully fixes the problem, though I'm not totally sure if it will. Check it out and let me know!

Oh no! What operating system are you using?

Can you send us your log files using the instructions on this post: https://itch.io/t/80169/how-to-send-us-a-crash-report

Thanks!

We've released the second update for the Closed Alpha: DRONE WARFARE! And - we've announced our Steam Early Access release date: August 8th! We'll be updating the build then, mostly focusing on polish and bug fixes this time.

Read more about DRONE WARFARE on the Kickstarter update!

Great idea! Let us know if you manage it :D Probably in combination with the Trace-Back and Rewind it might be do-able, as you can use those to teleport around and get into melee range. But admittedly then you'd need to complete several missions to get the required funds. Although, you can also just replay the Tutorial mission 3 times to get 1000 credits each time, then begin your challenge :D

Hi Jon1renicus, thanks for the feedback!

On a couple of the things that you mentioned that are more in the bug-direction:

  1. I'll look into the issue with audio muting when you alt-tab
  2. We're aware that large groups of enemies often get stuck in doors and small gaps, and we're thinking about ways to have the AI handle that better
  3. Dancing right now just progresses time, it's basically like the "skip turn" action.
Otherwise, congrats on completing the campaign! Most of your other points (like more dialogue variety and a better UI explaination) are on our radar already - in fact the Bad Language stretch goal that we reached during the campaign covered dialogue updates!

You certainly can! You can find our presskit here if you need any additional material (also includes a monetization permission):

http://inbetweengames.com/press/sheet.php?p=All_Walls_Must_Fall

Thanks for the bug report! I must admit I haven't seen this one before :D

What Graphics settings are you using? You can open up the options menu to see. I'd recommend lowering the settings down to Low to see if the problem goes away. You can also use the "advanced" tab to tweak individual settings to see if you can narrow down the one that causes it.

Let me know if that works! If you could also send me the log files, that would be useful. You can see how to do that on this post:

https://itch.io/t/80169/how-to-send-us-a-crash-rep...

Thanks!

  2. Go to ProjectDisco / Saved
  3. Zip up the entire Logs folder and send it to crash@inbetweengames.com

Mac location:

  1. Open finder and navigate to ~/Library/Logs/ProjectDisco/Saved
  2. Zip up the entire Logs folder and send it to crash@inbetweengames.com

  3. Your hardware specification (in particular, what graphics card you have)

Hooray! Thanks for the report qdo!

Hi again tekbear!

This issue should now be fixed. Let me know if you still have problems.

Cheers,

Isaac

  • You can now manually enter combat mode at any time by pressing “C”, or clicking the “DRAW WEAPON” button.

Dialogues

  • Added a display of the full history of a dialogue, so you can see what was said previously.
  • Each dialogue line in the history displays an emoticon, so you can see what line cause what reaction.
  • We’ve heard some feedback that sometimes, the dialogue responses don’t make sense as part of the conversation. This is in part due to how our dialogues are procedurally recombined. That said, we want to eliminate this problem, so we’ve added a new button that you can click if you think a particular line doesn’t make sense. When you click it, it’ll send us a report about the dialogue lines that were used.

Thanks for the info you sent me hochul <3

This should be fixed in the most recent update.

Thanks for the info, tekbear! Does this happen 100% of the time?

We've seen that one a few times ourselves so I'll try and get on it soon. I'll let you know here when we have it fixed.

Hey indolence!

Thanks for the info. Could you perhaps take a performance capture for me?

  1. Start the game
  2. Once the performance is bad, open the console with [~] or [`] (the key to the left of [1])
  3. Type "stat startfile" and press enter
  4. Play the game a bit (about 10 seconds)
  5. Open the console again
  6. Type "stat stopfile" and press enter
  7. Close the game
  8. Go to where the game is installed (if you're using the itch app, it has a handy "Show local files" button in the bottom-right
  9. Go to ProjectDisco\Saved\Profiling\UnrealStats
  10. Zip up the folder(s) you see there and email them to me at isaac@inbetweengames.com
Many thanks!

Isaac

Sorry Amos, I should've been clearer - after reinstalling the game, it found the manifest fine. Beforehand it didn't. My suspicion is that renaming was the cause of the error, but I haven't verified that. It would mean the repro would hypothetically be:

  1. Create a game with a manifest
  2. Install the game, note it finds the manifest fine
  3. Rename the game
  4. Publish an update to the game
  5. Update the game in the itch app
  6. Launch the game - it doesn't find the manifest
  7. Uninstall and reinstall the game - it finds the manifest

This is basically more or less what I did, I think. But there were other factors involved probably, such as updating the itch app itself somewhere in the middle there.

Glad you liked it! You can give us as much specific feedback as you feel like! It's all useful. Feel free to fill out the survey that pops up when you quit the game also/instead, it's up to you.

You can get an fps counter by opening the console with ~ or ` or whatever the key to the left of 1 is, and then doing 'stat fps'.

Thanks hochul! Could you mail me the log, to isaac@inbetweengames.com please?

They should be in ~/Library/Logs somewhere...

Hi again Amos,

So I got this working a few days ago but it's stopped, appears to have been when the itch client updated. I have the manifest file in the game's root folder, but no key is passed to the app. The log appears to be generating a key fine:

[2016-12-16 @ 13:38:21.065] [tasks/launch] Requesting subkey with scope: profile:me
[2016-12-16 @ 13:38:21.248] [tasks/launch] Got subkey (171 chars, expires 2016-12-23 12:38:19)
[2016-12-16 @ 13:38:21.255] [tasks/launch/native] env keys: [
"ITCHIO_API_KEY",
"ITCHIO_API_KEY_EXPIRES_AT",
"TMP",
"TEMP"
]

I also renamed my project at this time, to something that includes Spaces. After doing that I noticed that the itch app wasn't finding my manifest, so I reinstalled the game in the app. Note that this is on windows.

I'm not sure if this is an issue with itch or on my end, but the way I'm getting the env variable was working before. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Isaac

Awesome, thanks Amos!

Perhaps this method would also be a way of getting information about a game that's private, such as the latest version?

Hi Amos, thanks for the reply. Can you point me to the relevant documentation for this feature?

I guess I'm still a little confused. Do I need to get an api-key first? Which means then having the user authorise my game to access their itch account? That's probably too high of a barrier of entry for our game, unfortunately.

Hello,

Is there any API available to query the information about the user playing my game? Such as their itch.io username (for display in a scoreboard, for example)?

I'm guessing the answer is no, as I can't find any documentation to that effect. So this is probably a feature request :D

Hello,

I'm currently developing a game and distributing it via itch to friends and family using the keys system and having the game set to Restricted. I'd like to implement a system to check for updates in the game using the API described here:

https://itch.io/docs/butler/pushing.html#looking-f...

As mentioned, this is not currently possible for Private games. However, I can specify that my Restricted game is accessible to those with the correct password, which winds up being specified in the url using ?password=<pass>. Would is perhaps be possible to also allow this way of accessing the update check API?

Thanks,

Isaac

Ahh you know what - I found it - I guess you need to uninstall and then re-install the app?

A related question: is it possible for a user of the itch app to change which channel they are currently 'using'?

Thanks,

Isaac

Awesome Amos, thanks for the infos - looking forward to it!

Hello,

I'm currently evaluating itch and refinery for our team's next project. So far I'm very impressed, but the build management feature set is perhaps missing something that would be useful - or perhaps I can't find it: the ability to revert a channel to a previous build, or to move a build that's already been uploaded from one channel to another.

For example: I might realise I've made a terrible mistake, and our latest build has major issues. In this case I would want to revert that channel back to the previous build while I investigate.

Or: I might first push builds to a -beta channel for initial testing by my QA team or beta testers. Once we're happy with it, we then push it over to the main channel for general release.

In the "edit game" web page, I can click on the channel name to see a list of all the builds that were uploaded there. However, it appears there's nothing I can do with that information other than look at it.

What's the recommended workflow for these situations? Is this perhaps a planned feature? Is this even the best place for this feedback? :D

Thanks,

Isaac
