I got the game on Steam a while back, I experience lots of visual tearing when I move or look around, I've tried turning Vsync off and on, but neither seem to work, is there anything I can do? I use a 60hz laptop.
I just bought the game (on steam) and I’m wondering if anyone knows if you can slow down your movements to more precisely place things? I have such a hard time trying to line them up side by side like when trying to make flat walls out of multiple images. Thanks!
It seems like 7/10 images I select don't load at all in game. I can access them on the site, and the thumbnails display, but for some reason they wont load in game.
Hello there! I bought this game on Steam and have to say I truly love it , I think it has a ton of potential as it is truly special. I was wondering If any further updates were planned or If it was the final release.
Hi! I'm a big fan of collages so this looks intriguing but I've got a question, is there a way to add our own images to the game? Thank you! :) Great job!
Its back to normal now on 3/18. i'll keep this post up incase it happens again so people can see the comma information.
-------------------
Not sure if its a pixabay api change or if y'all are doing something backend with how it handles searching images but it's kinda broken right now, trying to get a specific image you are looking for seems impossible now. the old way of typing all the image tags of the image now seems to instead search all of those tags at once. so if i was to search for images with Blue Bird - instead of showing me images of blue birds now it seems to show the entire search of Blue, not just images tagged with both Blue+bird but rather any image that has Blue in it at all. not sure if this is something y'all can fix or if its only a pixabay thing. : (
EDIT(3/9): If you put commas now instead of spaces when searching that seems like it works like it used to. Probably just some API change but glad it still works. So for anyone wondering why the search isn't working right, use commas, like for example instead of 'blue bird owl' search for 'blue,bird,owl' no spaces only commas and it will search like it used to.
i made this account in hopes i could dm you, but idk what itchio even is lol. I just had to find a way to tell you how amazing your worlds are on sokworld. Like just totally haunting and incredible. A few of them literally brought tears to my eyes just imagining how much heart and how many hours you put into them. I'm seriously so blown away! Thank you so much for putting these out there. Your work doesn't go unnoticed. I am in awe!
Thank you so much, I really can't put into words how much I appreciate you saying this. I am amazed that you would go out of your way to contact me about the things I made. my head has been in a very dark spot lately this really brightened it up for me. thank you. <3 I am thrilled I could make something that is able to bring those feelings to someone.
Hey there! Recently downloaded the game again, I see you've done some real cool stuff in the last year :) I know better than to ascribe too literal a meaning to art, but your last world "Ruins" made me worry a bit for you. Hope you're safe and pulling out of it. Stay strong comrade!
Fun game :) the stock photo limitation forces some creative decisions that I wouldnt think of otherwise. And everything being two dimensional gives creations a very pretty unpolished look. Really cool
Thanks for the update to the menu speed, it makes navigating through peoples uploads so much nicer. <3 This program is a much welcomed distraction in these times.
Yes it's me! And thanks, coming from you it's high praise! You're so good at playing to the strengths of the medium, you manage some very evocative and aesthetic landscapes with only a few pictures, I have a lot to learn from you still ^^ My first world was not worth the hours I spent lining floor textures together
sorry for commenting on such an old post here, but i just wanted to say your levels are amazing and inspirational!! thank you for all the work you clearly put into them, they really resonate with me as a fellow trans person. i just wanted to find someplace to thank you <3
oh my god, thank you so much. I am in a real bad mood right now and this really cheered me up <3 thank you for saying something. it really helped my day.
i am glad that i was able to make something that someone connected to. it really means a lot to me that you went out of your way to write something about it <3
I tracked you down to this comment chain and made this account to tell you I think your worlds are beautiful. Evidently, I'm not the only one to do this - I don't know if that makes it more or less meaningful - and I realize it's only a game, but I think it's clear you've put a lot of soul into your creations, and after seeing your soul on display like that, I thought it only right to reach out and tell you I think it is beautiful.
Oh my gosh.. thank you!! it means a lot to me that you'd go out of your way to make an account and tell me. You've just like, added a second sun to my sky today : ). Thank you.
No problem - if anything, I should be thanking you. You've worked hard to give me, and other players, a window into your soul, to let us connect with you in a one-way fashion without ever demanding anything in return. That is exactly why I reached out; I didn't want this connection to be one-way. I wanted you to have the opportunity to feel the same - for lack of a better word - intimacy I felt when I played your worlds. Were I of better mettle, I would make a world for you to play in return, a chance to relate to me as I have related to you. Maybe some day I will, if I can muster the courage. For now, this call into the void will have to suffice.
Thank you for showing me you. It was a beautiful experience. As someone with ADHD, focus in particular resonated with me, although the real cream of the crop, as I'm sure the other players making their pilgrimage here to pay their homage to you would agree, is doing good. You leave a bit of yourself in all your worlds, even - actually, especially - your rather helpful useful images, which is how I "met" you in the first place, but doing good is something else. Again, I realize it's only a game, and I understand you probably made all these worlds years ago and were another woman then, and I won't pretend to actually know you based on what amounts to a 5 minute visual poem, but that doesn't mean the human connection I experienced while playing them felt any less real. Now, I don't know if you're struggling - I hope you aren't, but I also hope you won't fault me for thinking you are, based on doing good - but if you are, I thought this could be my way of giving you the opportunity to connect with me the way you gave me the opportunity to connect with you:
I've gone back and read this comment so many times. I can't tell you enough how sweet and thoughtful you are to write something like this to me, and how much I appreciate it.
There's a thousand things I want to say to that - how I know exactly what you mean, how I've gone back and played your worlds so many times as well, how happy I am to have given you a bit of what you have given me, how that's what I was intending to give you all along, and the list goes on - but I can't seem to pick any one response. I don't want to write all of them and come off as obsessive or even unhinged, but I also don't want to write nothing. I considered adhering to the KISS principle and just replying with something minimal, like a simple 'thank you' or ':)' but that didn't seem quite right either. In truth, I don't know what to write, and whenever that happens, I always just resign myself to thinking out loud in a weird kind of meta commentary that I don't really know what to do with or how to wrap up, so, uh.. Yeah, this is that.

Hello! I just got the mac version but could't run the app. Do you have any plan to update it in the future?
It seems like 7/10 images I select don't load at all in game. I can access them on the site, and the thumbnails display, but for some reason they wont load in game.
Hello. Unfortunately I can't run the app on Mac OS. I keep on getting the message "The application “sokworlds_v1.0.2_osx” can’t be opened.
I didn't manage to solve the problem, can someone please help me? I'm looking forward to trying this game. Thanks!!!

love your maps, the spawn tutorial map you made is super cool and useful.
Thanks! I'm glad you found it useful. I played a bunch of yours and I liked them a lot too.

Hi! Don't mind me, just wanted to say I love your worlds. The "silhouettes in the rain" room was incredible. Love you!
that's super nice of you! thank you so much, it really means the world <3
are you octorov btw? because those worlds are amazing.
Yes it's me! And thanks, coming from you it's high praise!

You are good enough.
