itch.io

The xattr command worked for me, but I suspect people are copy/pasting it, and it’s missing the p at the end.

xattr -cr /Applications/SophiesDice.app

This very rapidly has became the Hypercard we needed.

A request to include posts from feed on the home page, as a block like Latest Featured Games, with a link to view more posts, including a sample of the post with it, so it’s clear what kind of content it is.

Reasoning

I like the current layout of the homepage, but there is no place for the Feed. I’ve seen others mention on other platforms about how for all their subscribers, new posts they make don’t reach very far. I suspect that because the Feed currently needs to be navigated to, it is forgotten. Content may not be surfaced because it is effectively hidden. This isn’t ideal for users/customers and developers. Placing some of the Feed more prominently, on the front page would be a major improvement.

As an end user, I currently have 2 pinned tabs for itch.io. One of these tabs is just for the Feed. This is because I do want to read these updates, but I also forget to explicitly check. Having highlights from the Feed would make it easier for users to discover what’s new from the developers I follow, congratulate them on their successes, and learn about updates to their existing games.

For other developers, posting relevant content to the Feed feels disheartening when the implication is that not many will read it. Developers with thousands of followers who receive double digit views are discouraged when it feels like posting into the void. This raises questions: Does no one like their game/content? Is it a problem with Itch.io? Is it a problem with them? What actions should be taken to point out additional content may be in the itch.io feed? Should they focus elsewhere.

As a developer myself, I’m unaffected by this: I don’t have that many subscribers (100?), and am in a happy place of visibility where I started on other platforms. For new developers starting on itch.io, and perhaps just starting out, seeing others with larger followings have low visibility may discourage them also. But posting to the feed is a great feature. It is easy to format your post, easy to post instructional material and updates that look good and match the theme of your game with no additional effort. It begs to be used, but if no one sees the post, using it becomes just spent time.

Assuming no other solutions for this are being worked on, the request is:

• posts from feed are placed more prominently, in it’s own block like Latest Featured Games, with a link to view more posts.

• posts include a sample of the written content with the title and thumbnail, so it’s clear what kind of content is being presented.

In addition to surfacing content users have intentionally subscribed to, this would better advertise the existence of the Feed, and the kind of content one can expect from it.

I’m so glad you like it! 😺

Windows version uploaded. :) 🤞🏼

That was super quick, thanks!

I love this font. :)

The font isn’t recognized as monospace because the characters .notdef and uni0326 are not the same width as the rest (1228), and there are empty characters that also are of different widths listed below.

isFixedPitch also needs to be set to true.

Fixing this would allow this font to be selected in terminal applications like Kitty.

Thank you for your response. It made my day. :)

It’s my keyboard layout. :D

Normally it doesn’t bleed into dosbox but in this case it did. :D

I love this, it’s somehow very adorable.

I do get perma-stuck when I fall off the bricks though, and I’m unsure how to recover from that. I don’t know if that’s intentional or if I need to figure out how to do that.

I like the colors, but

q/a o/p do not seem to move my light cycle. a seems to be down, s seems to be left.

My progression using this was “cool idea” -> “oh, this might be neat” -> “OMG this is the best thing since kitsune tails!”

You relatively just started it, spending a month on it, and it’s really good progress.

I’ll wait and see how it progresses before looking for improvements. :)

I really like the aesthetic of this

I hope this becomes real!

Confusing to start but it was easy to pick up quickly. A really fun game, with great looking sprites. :)

For the most part, I am unable to spend time writing instructions for every platform. OpenDyslexic is a standard OpenType typeface, and follows the installation instructions for your platform. Additional questions on how to do this on systems less common than the below are best checked with the provider or vendor responsible for your setup.

On most computers, installing OpenDyslexic means dragging the font files to into the fonts folder, or opening them and choosing an install option.

Windows

      Double-click font files and select ‘Install’

MacOS

Double-click font files and select ‘Install’, or:

Homebrew

homebrew cask install font-opendyslexic

Installation Instructions for Linux

The process for installing in a Linux or BSD distribution vary. If instructions are not below, check with the vendor providing your distribution

• Ubuntu:

    apt-get install fonts-opendyslexic
  

• Fedora:

    yum install opendyslexic-fonts
  

• Debian (sid):

    apt-get install fonts-opendyslexic
  

• Arch Linux:

    yaourt open-dyslexic-fonts
  

• Mageia:

    urpmi fonts-ttf-open-dyslexic
  

•   More Details/Manual Instructions (https://desk.zoho.com/portal/abbiecodes/en/kb/articles/detailed-instructions-for-installing-opendyslexic-on-linux)
  

iPhone & Android

Change entire system:

Modifying the system itself can brick, boot loop, or force you to reset your device, losing all your data. Most times, when following instructions carefully, these changes are completely safe. Unfortunately, I am unable to directly support or perform these tasks on demand.

There are packages for iOS and Android around, but I can’t follow them all and support all of them. Some searching in the respective App Stores or jailbreak sites is necessary.

Add font as an option in applications:

On iOS, search the app store for OpenDyslexic. Install the application and follow the directions.

On Android: 

Android does not appear to be a platform that encourages useful ways to include OpenDyslexic in documents.

This has a very, “based on actual conversations” feel to it that makes me uncomfortable because I feel like I understand it, perhaps because of circles I long since left.

I’d have questions, but I feel like it’s more like commiserations. :D

5 Stars.

Instructions on Android vary greatly across devices and versions, and it’s difficult to test or provide instructions for it.

Many apps that support additional fonts will let you select OpenDyslexic as a custom font from their settings.

For globally changing your font, there’s apps like iFont that have been successful for people in the past.

Hi,

For most operating systems, you can double click the font files and the operating system (windows/macOS) will ask you if you want to install it.

It will show up in Microsoft word afterwards in the Font selection. Sometimes Microsoft has the list split, so you may have to scroll towards the end to see it.

If Microsoft Word was open when installing the font, you might have to quit and re-open Microsoft Word.

For website based editors, like Google Docs and the online version of Word, you are generally limited to the options they give you. Google only allows fonts from Google fonts, and Microsoft has their own set of fonts that can be chosen.

I’m super glad you enjoyed it!

In college, it was one of the only things we were able to watch without getting in trouble. :D

So, yes, the wider character spacing was intentional, but it does need work (and the kerning too). There’s also ligatures that need to be fixed too.

The actual intention is some wider spacing, and larger amounts after symbols like commas, periods, etc. Context also needs to be added so it adds the extra space appropriately: not having something like C.A.K.E. have significant spacing, but adding the extra spacing at the end of a sentence.

I did not add it for inherent readability, and I couldn’t tell you if one was better than the other.

I added it for familiarity. Early on, many teachers from around the world emailed stating the same thing: they teach letters with handwriting, where a small a is commonly written rounded. When printing assignments, they wanted the small a to match what they were writing to avoid confusion.

It’s was a very reasonable request, so an alternate was created.

Can I get a screenshot? There was an increase in spacing but it shouldn’t appear to be massive

The short answer is yes, but the longer answer is a bit more involved.

Android supports OTF typefaces, of which OpenDyslexic is one. But the way vendors implement Android means that installing one (in a way that will be recognized by your apps and system), varies or is unavailable depending on device. In the past I had a package that would make OpenDyslexic available on some devices, but while it was labeled with the caveats mentioned, many expected it to work broadly, and the results were not great overall.

While the goal is to create an installer for Android, it will take some time.

Many Applications on Android support adding typefaces directly. In these cases, you can contact the developers for the specific processes they have. Usually it involves placing a font file in a folder they look into.

There is an app called iFont that I’ve had success with in the past, but I have no way of testing it at the moment.

Thats fantastic! I’ll have to try it out

:) thanks!

This is very close to being a tool I wish shipped with Windows.

This is a great start for something I’ve low-key needed myself. I use other tools to achieve similar but this is, with one command, focused on only c# files, and doesn’t take any arguments.

The one argument I would suggest having is –help/-h, that would print out the same description that is provided here on itch.io.

There are parts that can be done across platforms, but it gets harder and is out of scope. I did consider it tho.

My goal is before the end of the summer. Probably sooner. 🤞🏼

When you tried to open it, or download it from itch?

If when trying to open it, can you provide your OS, OS version, and a screenshot of the error?

If the latter, can you try downloading from a different browser?

Spent the week moving all my stuff from Gumroad, and thought this would be helpful to anyone else doing the same thing and save them some time.

You can export your Gumroad data as a CSV by selecting the top right icon from this page: https://app.gumroad.com/customers

Select all data and select download.

The menu may disappear when you click Download: I was with them for 12 years so the menu just disappears when I click download. There indication of any success, just wait a bit. You’ll get an email from Gumroad after a bit with a link to download your data. It took mine maybe an 30 minutes to show up.

I imported it into a SQL lite database, and after some experimenting, used the below query to generate a minimal CSV that could be imported back into Itch.io. This only pulls in customers that were not refunded, did not initiate a chargeback, and opted into receiving emails from you. (https://itch.io/docs/creators/kickstarter). Side note: The only reason I knew it was an option was because it popped up in a tooltip on my dashboard - that was helpful!

The Amount field is formatted, because it seems the Kickstarter wants a currency formatted amount and Gumroad exports amounts as a decimal number (1.5 vs $1.50 or 1.50).

SELECT
    `Purchase Email` AS "Email",
    FORMAT("$%.2f", `Sale Price ($)`) AS "Amount"
FROM
    GumroadSalesRaw  -- Or whatever the name of the table you imported your Gumroad CSV into
WHERE
--  `Item Name` IS "Item Name" -- filter by item name if you have more than one product
    `Do not contact?` IS 0
    AND `Buyer Email` IS NOT NULL
    AND `Fully Refunded?` IS 0
    AND `Disputed?` IS 0;

For a quick list of what your products are from your Gumroad export, you can run a query like:

SELECT
  `Item Name`
FROM
  `Gumroad Sales Data Raw` -- name of the table you imported your Gumroad CSV into
GROUP BY
  `Item Name`

Hopefully this saves you time from having to figure out what data you want, and what fields to use.

Side note: don’t delete your Gumroad account right away! Just unpublish your products instead. Gumroad will keep any remaining unpaid funds if you delete your account.

Theres instructions for building a native macOS version on gitHub that seems to work really well for Apple Silicon (and my intel macbook pro): https://github.com/ExOK/Celeste64/issues/22

You just need to install the .net 8 sdk before trying to run it.

edit: nevermind, theres a macos build on github now too: https://github.com/ExOK/Celeste64/releases

pressing x at the top level menu will close it. in-game, esc-> save and quit, then X

press the Esc key

Everything is labeled.

I don’t have the setup to build specifically for macOS on Intel, but I was able to use WineSkin Winery to make an macOS app for it, and it runs with no issues.

I’m using engine WS11WineCX64Bit23.7.1 with wrapper version Wineskin-2.9.2.0. No other changes were needed: only had to copy the extracted zip over.

I’m excited to see something new for Celeste, and I love this!
