I’m having trouble…

hey man, tried running it but this is all I got. I’m pretty stupid, so I won’t be surprised when you tell me what to do, and how it’s basically impossible to screw up opening the game. You know that look you give when someone so unbelievably dumb is next to you? Well, let’s just say that I’m no stranger to “that look”

Developer

Hahah hey Scott, thanks for letting me know! It's a big help, especially before release. Would be a bummer for people to get this on launch day. Can I ask which Windows version you're using? 

Developer

Just uploaded a new build. Flip a coin whether or not it fixes the issue tho

hey again, I just saw this version of messages, and I didn’t tell you on the other one that it’s windows 11

Developer

Hey Scott, just saw your message in the in-game feedback system. Are you sure you were running the new build? The bug you were having "should" be fixed in the current build. It sounds like you might have been running the build from a while ago. Maybe? Thanks for wanting to try the game.

I don’t even know, but I’ll double check And as they say in show biz… “OK PLACES PEOPLE, *SNAP* Necrovale, take 75”

That makes me the actor who hasn't memorized his lines :>

I meant it as the director telling me, the player to… *sigh* I can’t do anything right.

Anyway, everything seems to be working just fine, but before I start kissing your butt, I have a question or two.

1. Did you put a controller option in this? Because mine was working, but I never know if it’s because steam is interfering with my games outside of steam. It was controlling beautifully, then something happened where it stopped working, but now it is again… I was a console gamer up until the last few years, and no matter what, I will never be able to do mouse/keys, it just kills my hands and feels unnatural.

If it’s just a fluke, I highly suggest you do, because it feels great, but without being able to map keys properly I wasn’t sure what to do about the potions, or other items I come across. The roll automatically mapped to the L trigger, right stick controlled the characters facing position, but I had to manually drag the letter to the guy at that start, and that was giving me trouble for some reason.

After I explored a bit, found the sword, went in the cave and fought a bunch of rats. I don’t get what makes the despair grow or how to slow it down, it seemed to just keep climbing and I died… am I just being an idiot, or doing something wrong? 
I appreciate you fixing the issue, and I’ll try to keep my bothering you to a minimum. But if you want feedback on things, I’m happy to give it.

From what little I saw, I really think you have something special here. I especially like the effect you put on the still images, the female one is creepy (the text seemed to go on for too long, but that was when the controller crapped out, I was mashing buttons to skip and probably messed something up)

Ok I’m done, can’t wait to see the finished product! Hopefully I’ll have my game channel going by then (if I ever get off my lazy ass that is), I’ll definitely be talking it up.

Developer

Awesome, glad it finally worked for you haha. The controller support is kind of half there. I just did a bunch of work on the UI to get it ready for controller use, because like you found, you can't interact with the UI with the controller right now. It should be done by the time the games ships. 

Despair still needs a lot more messaging, it's not clear right now. But it grows while you're fighting, and killing enemies reduces it. I'll make sure to make it more clear what is going on with that.

And you're not bothering me at all, it's great feedback. You've helped me fix three killer bugs already that I wouldn't have found otherwise, so thanks for that. Hope you do start up a channel. Thanks again for trying me game.
