By the way, I don't seem to be able to get the non demo versions to work on anything. So far, I've tried Windows 10 and 7 on Virtualbox with Guest additions (256MB GPU memory + Direct3d + 3d acceleration enabled on host - probably not causing the issue though). I haven't tried playing it on a real, bare metal windows install since I don't have access to one at the moment. I can upload any log files you want me to, if you point me toward their location. This is not a post directed at the developer only, this is directed at anyone who has or may have insight on this matter. I really liked what I saw in the demo and am willing to go through the hassle of debugging it myself if it means I get to play it to its end.
EDIT: For those curious about the exact details of the crash: It either happens when I press Enter on New Game or after the initial "ugh" "nnngh" "....". The game window just closes afterwards. The worst part is, I don't think there is a way to run it from the terminal to get the output like you can with linux, so we don't even get to see which part of the code it crashes in or what kind of errors it spews out right before dying. I'll try booting it on a physical windows machine, see if that works.
