Hi! I just tried to launch the game and had a similar issue to another person in this thread. After I launched the game, a loading icon appeared in the corner of the screen, and music started playing in the background. However, the screen was still black and no options came up. I tried leaving the screen for a few minutes to see if anything would happen, but it stayed the same. I saw from the other person's experience it might be because of the file that normally plays on the main menu.
Hey hey! Thanks so much for checking out the game :3 Yeah, there's this really weird issue where some people's computers don't like the .mp4 video background on the title screen for some reason >.< I have no idea why, but I managed to fix it by replacing the video background with a static .png image version instead!
On the downloads page, you should be able to see a bunch of files called "Black Screen Bug Fix (name of platform)/Possible Black Screen Bug Fix (name of platform)" So just select the one for whichever system you want to play the game on, download it, and try running that version instead because that's the one which contains the png background instead of video background.
Hopefully, that does the trick for you, but if not, feel free to let me know so I can look into it :3 Once I release the next episode, I'll be sure to make both versions and name the files in a different way so that it's a bit clearer for anyone who doesn't know about the bug.
Thank you again and I hope you have a great week :3
I just downloaded the Bug Fix version, and it seems to be working fine! I haven't actually started the game, but the main menu did come up this time. So, I think that's a good sign! Thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it. And I'm very excited to check the game out!
I hope you have a wonderful week as well! Thanks again!
