Hey! Sorry to hear that. I'm no linux dev and have very little knowledge. That being said, it's questionable whether I can fix the bug. I rely on the MonoKickstart made by other people and of course the framework MonoGame itself.
Have you tried installing the Mono framework (mono-runtime, mono-complete) and run it manually without using the "Kick" file?
Sadly the error doesn't tell me that much, there are a lot of instances in the render function :/
Hi, installing the "mono" package on my system helped to start the game (even with the Kick file). But unfortunately it's still not really running.
I can create a character now but when I start the game I only get a black screen. Also when changing anything in the configuration leads to a black screen even before the character generation/selection.
I tried some different start options (different LD_PRELOAD paths, start Kick, start Mystica.bin.x86, ...x86_64, Mystica.exe with or without mono) but nothing helped (but I was able to always reach the menu and get into the "black" game - sounds and music were fine and I was hearing sword sounds and so on).
So installing mono definitely helped, but not enough. ;-) Maybe you have another idea? Which mono version are you using? I have mono 6.4.0 on my system.
Thanks anyway for your quick answer!
The linux version doesn't run within wine.
I tried the windows version with and without wine and I have the same error like in the linux version (so only a black screen in the game). Maybe it really is an issue with the mono version that I use. On which system did you successfully test the linux version?
Ok, I tested it inside a virtual machine with Ubuntu 19.10 and there it worked. I also didn't need to install anything.
So maybe it is some kind of missing/wrong-version library in my host system (Arch Linux and Manjaro Linux usually have newer libraries than Ubuntu).
Something that you can enhance in your game: add statistics. How many deaths (maybe even why)? How many of each enemy killed? Playtime total? Maybe (if it exists) playtime per dungeon/chapter/...
This is something, where players could compete with each other ("I have been faster/without deaths/...")
With these statistics you could als implement achievements in the game (like "Monster hunter" - "Killed all enemy types", "I hate slimes!" - "Killed 1000 slimes" and so on). Achievements are a big factor for replaying a game.
But this was just a first thought about your game. I now have to enable the sound in my virtual machine to really play and test it. xD
