itch.io

Hey there, I cannot recall if I've already asked, but it won't hurt to give a poke just in case I haven't.

The size of the game, particularly the animations file, has hit a point where my Linux rig is not longer able to properly unpack the tarball after downloading. Bit of a bummer, as I really did want to try the recent updates.

Are there any plans to make either "Lite" versions of the game available for download that have had the animations and audio stripped to reduce filesize and resource usage, for those who either do not use these functions or lack device specifications, or potentially to provide a regular zip version of the Linux download? This is likely more an issue with how tars are handled than anything else.

Prioritise getting the Arc Scraper (get the consumable if you can afford it) and Plasma, and their upgrades. Order of priority if you want things to go quicker

Plasma > Scraper > Demux > Drone > Reader

The Depth Diver consumable will also help. You typically won't need more than 30 cooling ever, and coherence rapidly drops off in use after 20. Security at 20 will do for most of the game, and effectivelty maxes at 50. Clock speed you can effectively max at 30,uplink goes up forever and affects literally everything.

... The idea of setting up a premium subscription for an A.I.-generated gacha game is... baffling, especially when it's as threadbare as it is now, with nothing beyond rolling as a "gameplay" function. You're kinda putting the cart before the horse here by trying to get money before there's anything beyond the most vague proof of concept.
You could, in theory, do something interesting with this, but that just screams sketchiness and a quick get-rich scheme out the gate, to me, I fear.

Is there any particular reason the linux download is a .tar inside a .zip?

There isn't anything to figure out, to my knowledge. From what has been said in the discord that's the end of the game for now.

Take your time, world won't end any time soon. I think most of us were just concerned you, uh, died or something.

Itch.io version is currently only Android.

Oh dear, well, best of luck with the game from here on. I'll check back when a non-Steam full release is made available, if ever.

Ah, alright. I wasn't certain if it was leftover code, given it spat out a few errors when it couldn't connect, but otherwise seemed unaffected.

Ah, excellent. Was worried; always a bit of a bummer when I sit here thinking "... I'd buy this if it was available to be purchased", bwaha. By the way, is the Linux build on Itch presently supposed to try to ping Steam? Forgot all about catching that in the terminal the last time I glanced over at it aeons ago.

Colour me curious, but do you have any plans to enable support through Itch.io directly, or am I just missing the method to do so? I much prefer purchasing/donating here to Steam or SubscribeStar where possible, due to personal issues with the former (ah yes, my account I've had since the platform launched "never existed", good on you, Steam Support), and the faff involved with the other.

What a fuckin' profile name, my guy. Hope you weren't planning on having your review taken seriously.

Actually, going off your review history, are you just here to troll?

Fair. Thankfully, I suppose if all else fails Linux is, by it's nature, free should you happen upon a spare laptop or something between now and then. I'm unable to get crash logs or anything, not quite sure what is actually happening on the system level, unfortunately, or I'd tell you. My own technical knowledge kinda... ends at basic debugging.

Well, it used to run. 2.0 just seems to hard freeze my entire machine now, though, browser and downloaded versions. Might just be an Ubuntu issue, I'll keep poking at it and see if I can figure out what's going on.

Any luck with improving Linux stability? Last few updates have been freezing my entire rig after a short session.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted for inquiring about this, 'tis a good question.

There's no human form for your dragon to the best of my knowledge. You're more Smaug than a D&D-style "wizard" dragon, if that makes sense.

Hey there, can't seem to get it running on android for the life of me due to a parsing error. Is the .apk for x86 or ARM? The in-browser version can load (Chrome), although it typically crashes within a few minutes.
