THANK YOUR FOR YOU FEEDBACK MELOJINKY. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THERE IS AN END. I’M SURE YOU CAN REACH IT. KEEP ON FIGHTING. GOOD LUCK, IRON-WRIST FRIEND.
Hey, thanks for answering ! I have a really old laptop, so usually proton eats up all the performance, but I’ll try. Keep up doing great games anyway !
Hey Kartik, thanks for the tip. Unfortunately my computer already has a ~/.local/share/love/ folder, which contains contains a Moonring/ and a MoonringPCBuild721/ directories, but the error persists. :(
Did try today, it does run but crashes past the main menu with the following error :
Error

Just so you know. Not asking for a fix or some extra work from someone giving away their game for free. Obviously I’d be happy if some sort of workaround exists though.
Hey, that’s totally my kind of game. Thanks for the hard work and making it free. Unfortunately I don’t have windows. Do you plan on releasing a linux version at some point ? Even the .love file is good enough for us penguins :)
I know right ! That’s an early prototype demonstrating the gameplay, and basically the tutorial. Next game will have you build your deck in between encounters, ala slay the spyre or inscryption if you will.
Maybe I should’ve been clearer about the state of the current prototype, my bad.
I'm not into steamdeck or anything related to that company. Being a gamedev myself, let me know if I can help. I also happen to have a belgian friend running a company that does just that if you prefer professionnal support.
Congratulation on shipping a project. (Well just a matter of weeks anyway) That's no easy feat and it's easy to get lost in the scope creep mode. I hope you're really proud of you. I never saw a bad review of the game and I hope it continues this way !
As a side note, if you hang-out on IRC, come say hi on #gamedev-fr (on libera.chat server). We have a small community of french indies and employed devs. Expect seasonned advice, stories from the trenches and stupid puns.
I don't know, having a version itch is already a great gift in my opinion ! If you really want to add something, maybe an easter egg in the game ? If it's too hard to maintain different versions, just add a readme.txt with a specific message ? Reminding players how you started on itch or something ? Even a picture of you/your dog/your cat would be nice. Makes it more personal :)
Forward really was the little gem of that 7DRL ! I'm glad you took the opportunity to go commercial, it's a daunting task ! So congratulations for getting this far. I didn't see mention of a release on itch though. Do you have some kind of exclusivity deal ?
Hey, I don't know how often you guys read itch's comment section but here my answer. I hadn't the chance to go to the tomb with a legitimate character. It was close, but I made a few mistakes.
I was suprised to hear a new music and very surprised to see combat animation. I like it and now damage and combat effects are way more readable. It helps a lot, and now I can see how much damage I do whitout squinting through the logs.
I'll update this comment as soon as I get to the tomb !
