Just bought the game and it works perfectly! Currently running x64 Manjaro with the 5.4.112-1 Linux kernel version. Love the game and the graphics! Totally recommended!
If you can't launch the executable, open a console in the local folder and type "sudo chmod +x typeknight". This should enable you to use the executable as intended.
If that doesn't work, you can check StormKMD's comment thread below. There's some useful info for linux. If it still doesn't work, you should ask for a refund.
It'd be great to have a toggle for blood effects for my kids to play. I did use a tool to disable the blood myself, but it also affected the fireworks (blood fireworks, ha ha!).
Hi there, this game looks really interesting and I would love to play it, but I am having some issues. I am on Fedora Linux 31 and the dependencies libssl.so.1.0.0, libcrypto.so.1.0.0 and libcurl-gnutls.so.4 are not found.
Anyone else run into this? Would really love to try this game out :)
EDIT: For anyone having issues with this game on Fedora, I was able to get the game running by doing the following:
You will need the following packages: * openssl and openssl-devel * libcurl
You can also install the recommended dependency of xclip, but I don't think it is required.
Once these are installed, you should now only need to link the dependencies to the names that Type Knight is looking for.
WARNING: Linking these libraries may have unintended side-effects. If you notice a particular software or system component not working AFTER linking these libraries, please unlink them and try whatever you were doing again.
Now run the command ldd ./typeknight inside your installation folder and you should get back all the dependencies required and they should all have set paths.
If some of these paths are not set, please make sure that the commands above were entered in correctly. If you are sure the commands were correct, you may be missing some kind of package or library, in which case the below commands may help you:
I have libcurl (not libcurl4) installed, but searching for libcurl4 does not return anything. I also tried looking for libopenal1 and doing the `whatprovides` command for it as well - nothing. :(
The packages are required by the engine for the game to run on linux. I've done a quick google search and they seem to be available for redhat (so it should work on fedora, right?)
I'd also like to mention I've only tested the linux version on Ubuntu 18.04 as that's the only "officially" supported distribution by gamemaker. I did mention Ubuntu in the minimum requirements on steam page but forgot to do it here too. Sorry about that.
If I were you I'd try to get those two packages installed but if you can't do it, it seems itch allows refunds if you email their support.
If you do get the game working, please let me know what fixed your problem as it could help other fedora users.
Is it only one neverending level? The trailer shows the same background as the screenshots... I really want to buy and play this game. Please let me know and thank you, looks awesome
Would it be possible to add a stitched up background that changes as you progress in a never-ending cycle like for example from the default to like going inside a castle, then the forest, then maybe the desert, a town and then back around to default and continuing? I love eye candy but I do also LOVE classic console graphics. Just wondering in case you are done with the game. Thanks in advance and great job ♥️
I too would have liked to have more backgrounds. However, the scope of the game was limited due to having no budget.
My plan is to use the experience learned in this project to start something bigger, with at least moderate funding. I hope you will look forward to that.
However, I'm not done with Type Knight. I will keep fixing bugs and other issues. There's a possibility of more content but I don't want to promise anything.
if possible that would be so darn amazing!! And yes I understand and such a great start. I know I wouldn't be near capable of the work you have done and I am aware of how difficult it is to make a game so thanks for replying and working on this ☺️
Please, make impossible to skip player death animation part (gameover) instantly, maybe after some seconds. I pressed spacebar and instantly went to main menu, though highscore saved.
when whole scale factor is turned to x3 and game is played once on the main menu there are random numbers overlapping each other on top.
Player is if he doesn't open a chest (maybe it's a feature so that no one can miss a chest) but sometimes the dead skeletons make it impossible to see what are you supposed to type, maybe change the color of text above chest, to a darker shade maybe.
The random numbers are the points pop-ups right? I can't recreate the issue but it might be fixed in the current version. I'll keep an eye for that.
I've improved text readability in the newer version too. All writable text has a black backdrop by default now.
About the fullscreen mode: it's not going to happen because of the form factor of the background assets. They're not 16:9. You would have black bars all around. Changing the layout to make it 16:9 would be too much of a headache at this point.
Hello everyone! I enjoyed playing this game and I hope more updates or more features will come out! Usually I'm quite bored playing these types of games, but this ones hit the right spot! I started on easy mode, but I sweated a lot. Keep it up dev, this is awesome. Enjoy the gameplay!
I really appreciate the sentiment, this is the first time someone offers me money for something I've made (not forgetting the help of others of course). I went through the process of creating a paypal and a ko-fi page but I changed my mind because unfortunately most of your donation would probably have been lost in fees and taxes.
Instead if you want to support me, please follow the twitter, get the game on launch and spread the word around! Thank you!
Really good game, but the red text is too hard to read. Some characters like Os and Cs look almost the same against the background and make it hard to see what the word is. Additionally, the skeletons bodies will sometimes obscure the white text above the living ones, but this isn't very common and is fixed once they start moving.
I really loved this game! im wondering what other mechs will you add in the game in the future? because playing a spell caster character would be cool or maybe a cleric!
I've been having a great time playing this game even thought, sometime is was kinda hard to see the text, but love the idea and it really helps you type faster!

I lost myself in this game. Probably put about 2-3 hours into it and want to play more. This is my longest run on Palindrome Paladin. What a great game. LOVE IT!
There's only 6 unique story panels by the way. It loops back after the last one. The game is a work in progress!
There's a cooldown bar for the multiplier just under it. If the bar empties your multiplier goes back to 1. You probably got the crazy score by doing a really long combo!
Awesome. Thanks for the response! I'll be keeping this installed and playing on and off. It's so much fun and has that perfect "ONE MORE RUN" aspect to it!

For Arch the dependencies are:
openssl-1.0 and libcurl-gnutls
Works great!
Thank you! Don't forget xclip if you want to import text.

Thanks for letting people know! I'm glad you like the game!!
Please, tell if you know, how can i run it on linux mint?
Make sure to have the following packages:
Then, unzip and launch the executable!
If you can't launch the executable, open a console in the local folder and type "sudo chmod +x typeknight". This should enable you to use the executable as intended.

"by using your typing skills"
me typing a sentence in under one minute: aoithagyuhW&*SGIsy7g7sehyw478tiw4huwytwo8yh8o4htswuwirh8yu4yjw$Uy804yh8wj4yiow4hjyw4uisrghsrnmk ok done
btw the game is great
man i had this for free and now my itch app bugged and i lost the game :/
It'd be great to have a toggle for blood effects for my kids to play. I did use a tool to disable the blood myself, but it also affected the fireworks (blood fireworks, ha ha!).
Thanks for the feedback! I'll consider adding the option.
WOW I wish I had played this when I learning how to type as a kid! This is amazing!
Thank you! ❤️

Hey there,
I tried getting this game working again, and I was successful! I will edit my first post with the answer. :)
EDIT: Done, hopefully that will help anyone who plays on Fedora.
Very nice! May I add your solution to the readme? I'll give you credit.
Feels like a nice little homage to old typing games like The typing of the dead. This is cute and fun!
Thank you!
Is it only one neverending level? The trailer shows the same background as the screenshots... I really want to buy and play this game. Please let me know and thank you, looks awesome
Yes, it's a score-attack game.

Absolutely fantastic little game
Thank you!
I'd buy this if there were a Mac version. It looks fun!
Hello maniraptor,
I wanted to do a Mac version but ran into some issues. See this post for a more detailed explanation.
Fun idea man!
Thanks!
Fun idea Good! you BlueJ
Absloutley Loved playing it, had a lot of fun. Thank you <3 <3
Thanks for playing!
Great game!
Please, make impossible to skip player death animation part (gameover) instantly, maybe after some seconds. I pressed spacebar and instantly went to main menu, though highscore saved.
Thank you!
what a nostalgic game, reminds me of typing games I used to play as a kid, but it's fun. A few bugs here and there but its and awesome game.
Thank you for the kind words!
If you want to, describing the bugs and how to trigger them would help me out.
when whole scale factor is turned to x3 and game is played once on the main menu there are random numbers overlapping each other on top.
Player is if he doesn't open a chest (maybe it's a feature so that no one can miss a chest) but sometimes the dead skeletons make it impossible to see what are you supposed to type, maybe change the color of text above chest, to a darker shade maybe.
Btw, why no fullscreen mode? It would be nice.

Thank you! There should be a new version up fairly soon featuring updated art.
This game was a lot of fun and so unique! I will definitely be playing more of this in my spare time!

Thank you! Glad to hear it.
This is such a fun little game. We enjoyed it very much.
Here is a short video we made while playing:
Thanks for playing!
This is such a cool game, I love it! Do you have a ko-fi I can donate to?

Thanks for playing! Expect to see a new boss and more polishing of the existing art and gameplay.
Sweet! let me know once you do! and ill play again!
I've been having a great time playing this game even thought, sometime is was kinda hard to see the text, but love the idea and it really helps you type faster!
