I think the server is down on steam, I was trying to play last night and now this morning but its not opening. It just gives me the sokpop screen then goes to black and quits and opens a smaller window that does the same thing. Not sure if it's the servers or if it's on my end but can't find a fix
Update: I just bought the game here on itch.io and tried both the offline version and the regular version and it's still doing the same thing so not really sure what to do.
Yes, it seems the server has been down for the last two days. Steam and Itch.io-version uses the same server so there should be no difference between them. Hopefully the devs will look into it soon but there is really nothing you can do about it as a user, except maybe try out the local version, which unfortunately cannot be played with your friends and also seems to crash a lot for me.
Ya I got the offline version to work but like you said it crashed a lot and I kept loosing progress so stopped playing on it. Really hope the devs will fix chatventures so I can play with my friends.
Update: Figured it out! Itch.io's game client only downloads the offline version and not the online one. Just in case anyone else gets this issue, you just gotta download it from a web browser.
Spent some time with this game over the last couple of days. It's pretty engaging. Some of the touches are fun and give the game a unique feel, like the slimes being able to cover the input field and the screen-shake when you get hit, or the visual effects when you are poisoned. Fun ideas.
I do have a few quality of life / accessibility suggestions that might improve things which I suspect might be easy changes:
* Increase the contrast, at least in the console. It's a little hard to read, at least for me. Just making the background darker would help a lot. (You could put this behind a toggle if you want to preserve the current color scheme.)
* Similarly, it would be really nice to have some font size controls, at least in the console area. Increasing the font size in tooltips would be nice, too. I realize some of the screen layout is tied to the font size in some elements, but we spend so much time in the console that it feels like it would warrant an easier font size to read.
• Add "get" as an alias of "take". I find myself typing that due to so many IF games using it.
• If you're fighting "gus the slime", allow "punch slime" as well as "punch gus". This might make for an ambiguity when there are multiple slimes, but I think it would be fair to just choose the first one if the player doesn't specify in such cases.
• Maybe automatically "look" when you go to a new area?
Also, I've noticed something that feels like a bug. Sometimes, I will type something and it won't "take", displayed in all gray and not recognizing the verb. It seems to happen when I use delete to correct something I've typed, but not reliably.
But really, none of these get in the way of enjoying the game. Some interesting ideas for games like this. Thanks for making it (and maintaining it on the server!). It's a fun little world.
thanks for playing! i really like the suggestions, i even think the ambiguity of punch slime when there are multiple slimes could translate into punching a random slime, like, if you don't specify that's your own fault, but would be useful if you can tank the enemies anyways or if there's only one enemy to begin with. should've thought of this earlier haha.
Looking at the patch notes you are supposed to keep inventory on rebirth. I lost my inventory and coins when I rebirthed. Items were invisible in inventory
Also when turning in a quest with a full inventory rewards are duplicated on the ground. And when buying an item with a full inventory materials are not consumed, and item is dropped to ground.
Just an FYI - Looks like there may be some potential bugs with the suck spell (heals the target, not the user) and the Getting Ripped quest (no push up counter, never gets assigned/ can't accept)
Hello Sokpop! I send an email to us@sokpop.co becouse i wanted so much go back to chatventures but i had a two accounts nastymoose and nastymoose2 (if i remember) and i stopped playing months ago so i forget my passwords. Is there any option to restore it or make another?

It seems that if you look at yourself, the game quits with a fatal error.
And after that happened, attempting to connect back to the game also creates a fatal error.
Getting a weird error:

Just downloaded this game, and the Mac client is just showing a window that says, "Unable to find game!!:"
copy the file and paste it into a different folder and it will work
Thanks - that worked!
hey i didn't realize the game gave you a password. Is there anywhere I can see mine? My account name is adishpan.
it should auto fill in the password, if not, send us an e-mail to us@sokpop.co and we'll help you from there!

thanks! i will try to address these issues in the next update

thanks. you shouldn’t be able to have suck but it might have something to do with itch version..
push up 2 quest will be fixed next update!
just discovered your game and love it so far!!
the getting ripped quest is still broken tho :( any chance it will get fixed?
Hello Sokpop!
I send an email to us@sokpop.co becouse i wanted so much go back to chatventures but i had a two accounts nastymoose and nastymoose2 (if i remember) and i stopped playing months ago so i forget my passwords.
Is there any option to restore it or make another?
<3 i hope so we can do that.
no problem! just send you the passwords
Wait, you're storing passwords in plaintext?
yeah but you cant choose your own password; the game generates a password for you
Hi, i got a new computer hard drive and i just redownloaded this game, however i forgotten the password, is there anyway I can recover it?
hi, send an e-mail to us@sokpop.co and tell about your account and we can retrieve your password
