Can't Really Figure This Thing Out

So, on the help docs, it says the best way to learn is to check out an example; I downloaded the example file and followed the steps to restore it as a backup or something, but nothing shows up but an empty project and an error message saying it failed to load a backup.

Just looking through the side panel and toggling things helped, but not really. I have no idea how helpful this thing is, and I am beginning to regret the purchase. I should have tried it out for free, but yeah.

Is there a video or something, or some good working examples that can help me understand how this thing works and learn how it was meant to be used, I have the opinion that I could have just used Google Docs to dump all my stuff into a text document and maybe Trello for like scheduling tasks but did I need this thing that doesn't seem to work or I don't understand how it works

This might be a lot more work than actually making a game, but I don't think it's that hard. I also think this should make life a lot easier and be much more intuitive than what I think is just a very good tool with okay-ish documentation.

Hello, sorry to hear you are having issues.

I agree the software might not be for everyone, that’s why I decided to offer a full featured free demo, a shame you couldn’t try it beforehand. I think you can file a refund request on itch.io : https://itch.io/t/129454/how-are-refunds-handled

About the issues:

  • There was a bug with import json into new project that it fixed now in v1.4.4. On 1.4.3 you can create an empty project and restore the project into that. (should be available for download soon)

  • Make sure you are importing the json file, this was an issue for another user here

  • Documentation is lacking, but we have a quick start here: https://drafft.aboni.dev/en/docs/documentation/quick_start.html

Also, I wouldn’t expect this app to provide the same level of features/polish of trello/gdocs!

Thanks for the feedback!

Ok i think I'll give it another try and wait for an update because this software dose have a lot of great features and i trust all these bugs will be sorted out sooner or later.
