Here you go, Cameron - one more video to add to your comments section. Thanks once again for the help in getting this working, I enjoyed the visuals and ideas in it!
Thank you so much General Red for being both patient and providing a video! Great feedback and I'll be taking this into account for future projects. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I've been meaning to play this game lately, and booted it up for the first time today. Unfortunately, I seem to have encountered a problem. I went into the games settings and tried to reset it from borderless windowed to fullscreen, only this caused the game to crash. Now, whenever I try to start the game up again, I receive the following error message (long wall of text incoming):
LowLevelFatalError [File:Unknown] [Line: 836]
Rendering thread exception:
LowLevelFatalError [File:Unknown] [Line: 249]

Hey General Red! Apologies for the delay, I was busy. Also accidentally deleted my reply to you instead of editing it :/
After some research it appears you either need to update your graphics drivers or if you're using Windows 11 you should run the game in compatibility mode for Windows 10. Another option is to hit Alt+Enter when launching the game to switch fullscreen mode.
Half the time I was scared out of my wits! the other half I was LOST in a gorgeous sea of wonder and mystery. To be blunt, I mostly had NO idea what was going on, but I was diggin it BIG TIME!!!
I feel like there is a lot to say about this game. I think the first thing to start with is the premise, as it is a very interesting take on the final moments of life. Usually you'd think to find a game about life flashing before your eyes, but this is definitely different.
I also think that the graphics and art style of this game are phenomenally well done. This game has an atmosphere that really works because of this art style. That being said, the designs can make navigation confusing, as everything looks so interesting, but making distinctions can be difficult, plus the game is just dark in general, so it was a bit confusing.
Lastly, I think the music and the sounds were incredibly crisp and pleasing to hear, even at intense moments. The ONLY problem I had with the sounds of this game was how much the volume of the sounds and music would suddenly vary, making it hard to find a good audio level to keep this game at, but otherwise the sounds were fantastic.
Overall, this was a very fun experience! Well designed, amazing art, and awesome audio!
I'm incredibly grateful for your detailed feedback and thank you for leaving a comment + video!
If I wasn't working on another project I'd go back and adjust that last area. As you mentioned it does need better design from a navigation perspective. I aimed for an open area with a couple of branching routes but failed to make the direction clear enough.
Very happy that you enjoyed the sound! Spent a fair amount of time trying to make them fit the theme. Though I do agree (and as people have given the same thoughts below) that some sounds need their volume adjusting. The chase theme comes to mind.
Definitely taking this all into consideration for my current project and hopefully it'll be a vast improvement!
Anyway, glad you enjoyed the game and thanks for playing! :D

Any ideas on how I might fix this? I've tried re-downloading the game several times, but now I keep getting the same error.

After some research it appears you either need to update your graphics drivers or if you're using Windows 11 you should run the game in compatibility mode for Windows 10. Another option is to hit Alt+Enter when launching the game to switch fullscreen mode.
Let me know how you get on with the above!
Hello Cameron, I'm glad to say I managed to get it to work with the Alt-Enter trick! Thanks for the tip, should now be able to play the game. ;)
Ah awesome, sorry you had to experience that!
Half the time I was scared out of my wits! the other half I was LOST in a gorgeous sea of wonder and mystery. To be blunt, I mostly had NO idea what was going on, but I was diggin it BIG TIME!!!
Thanks so much for playing! Your playthrough was a great watch and I'm glad you enjoyed it :D

I'll definitely try to remember to keep an eye out for the next project!
