hello there,

this looks like a really cool and lovely game. when i try to run it (on Windows 10), i am able to see the title screen and hear the music. as soon as i select a new save file and try to actually start playing the game, my entire screen goes black. the music continues to play, and i can hear some sound effects. i can also push escape hear a sound like a menu is coming up. i even figured out how to navigate down the menu and exit without being able to see anything. but the screen stays black. any ideas what the problem might be?

Hmm sounds like a problem we had a little while back even though I thought we fixed it, but thanks for letting us know! If you'd be so kind could you elaborate a little?: how powerful would you say your computer is?

You'd be doing me a massive favour if you could open up the game's files and go to this directory: ApothalypseDemoV1\Apothalypse_Data\StreamingAssets and tell me if you see a folder there called SaveFiles and if so what is in it?

No pressure if you can't, thanks for letting us know either way :)

of course! looks like a cool game and i'd love to help. i am running it on a lenovo ideapad 3(? i think) that i just bought last year. it has an AMD ryzen 3 processor with Radeon graphics, so i don't usually have problems running other unity games. when i navigate to that directory, it is empty. hope that helps! oh, and also, i tried deleting the game folder and the .zip folder, downloading and extracting it again, and that didn't seem to do much.

Thanks a lot for your efforts. So I'm a little unsure if by "that directory" you mean that there IS a file called 'SaveFiles' but just in case there isn't the easiest fix is to just create that file yourself inside the StreamingAssets folder.

If there IS a file called 'SaveFiles' you could try making a text file and calling it 'Save0.txt' then copying this into it:

Otherwise I'm afraid I have honestly have no idea what the problem is and I'm very sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for you're help and patience though we really appreciate it :)

there's a folder called SaveFiles, yes. i tried adding a Save0.txt file in that folder and copying the numbers above into it with...no success. but i can wait for the full version.
