Hey there! Thanks for the kind words and for the recommendation, happy to hear you guys are enjoying it! 

For the support in other platforms, that's something I'd love to do eventually, I tried to support YouTube a while back but the implementation with their API was crunchy to say the least, is probably worth to give it another try soon, haven't tried kick yet. 

As for the resolution, the bad news is, everything in the game is tied to that format, animations, ui, even the lack of space, changing it sadly is a bit beyond my possibilities for now, as I would need to rework the entire game unfortunately. One thing many streamers do, is capture the top information window separetly, and put it on the side instead on the top, not sure if it would help you, but it's an idea. Sorry about that!

I am working on it in fact, but the scope is a bit smaller, and it's a separated project that likely won't get as many updates as this main game. I sadly don't have a date that I am currently aiming at, mostly progressing on it on my free time.

Thank you for the kind response, I do appreciate you taking the time to address that response, it means a lot to a healthy community, and no worries, misunderstandings happen all the time, and I understand we can only do so much to stop other people from doing things.

Hope you continue having fun with the game!

Thank you for the feedback, but I would like to clarify and correct several aspects that the above commenter is under the impression on (While also offering a bit of story time for those who wish to read a bit about story):

- The idle game is designed to NOT BE COMPETITIVE, I can't stress this enough. It's meant to be a fun game for Streamers and their communities as they unlock characters, powers, and overall have fun with a little side FF inspired idle game.

- Leaderboards are just there to encourage networking between streamers, many of them hold little races among themselves, try to one up each other, and overall, they do share communities and friendships by now because of that.

- In past months, I held a small competition where the top 3 on Season 3, would get a character as a reward. This is not held anymore and the event ended. There is no rewards planned in the future again, and is what I assume ticked off the bad review above. The reward was a character of the choosing of the top 3 streamers (There was even a tie for 3rd position!, it was super exciting to witness as it came down to the very last minute)

- No foul play was observed, and no cheating was in place at the time the competition was being held. What above commenter considers cheating, is the use of Streamlabs or Nightbot as a player.

- The characters awarded are not overpower, or with the ability to do anything any other character can't do. What I assume he witness is a total end-game stream, with the character properly built, with the right set of Jobs and passives built, and automatically assumed its overpowered and unfair. That same set up would work with any other character in the rooster.

- Yes, many streams kind of play it "Solo" by having multiple bots act as players, but since there is no held competition, reward, or even recognition or glory, I not only don't mind at all if they do, I also believe people should have fun in whatever way they want. Many of these streams have studied the game way beyond most people do, and their input has been extremely helpful towards making the game better on small mechanics here and there.

- I understand the look leaderboards gives, but at the end of the day, this is a simple free game meant to help Streamers and their viewers while having fun playing FF. I am not holding an E-sport where being the top player is the be-all end-all goal, and I certainty won't go around streams dictating how to have fun, that's up to every streamer, and their communities to handle, I'm just making a game here where cool explosions happen, and where you can make Ward or Amarant as strong as you want him to be.

Hello! Thanks for the heads-up! That's some nice catches, I'll get them corrected in a bit. Thank you very much :)

Hey there! Thank you for letting me know, turns out he has no Holy attacks, the guide has that tag on him by mistake, It must have slipped through the cracks, sorry about that! The information in the guide should be up to date now for Orlandeau :)

Hey! I apologize for the late response, I admit that has been a bit of an oversight, kind of difficult to change now without ruining the save files, but I promise I will look in to in the near future, or at least give a way to transfer over stats and all that using a command. Will not be on the next patch though :(

You are absolutely right. My chat was noticing that too! I'll work on a fix but it won't come out until the mid season patch, usually in those I correct bugs and add new content for the season, qols etc, you can expect it on a month or two, sorry about that!

Hello! That's is indeed extrange, the FFBot is extremely light on resources, it shouldn't really have a noticeable effect on other games, I sadly can't do much about it if it's a bottleneck on your CPU/GPU.

For future versions I guess I can put a performance option, but Im not sure if it's gonna do a whole lot, it hardly uses 100mb of memory, when I run a performance monitor, even when the numbers and damage gets on the billions for testing, My CPU usage doesn't go above 3%.

My guess is that the game you are playing is likely using almost 100% of your resources, and streaming + FFbot is putting it to the limit. When your game is the focus window, your PC allocates all the power on the game, leaving OBS lagging behind.

Hey there! My apologies, I completely forgot to upload the Linux version on the 6.1 fix, should be up now!

Hello! For now it's not really possible, I am working on a companion website that would allow players to see their stats, their hires, etc etc. 

Some things you can do to mitigate that issue for now are the commands !missing (displays 3 units you are missing) and !freehire (automatically hires a unit you don't yet own, recharges every 50 wins)

The same was happening to me for a couple of hours earlier in the day, and only exclusively with the downloadable version of my game, the zip file before uploading it was fine and windows defender wouldn't flag it, but if it was downloaded from itch, it would get flagged as the exact same trojan you described.

It no longer does that, I changed my password, 2fa and all that jazz just in case the download was getting hijacked somehow, no idea how something like that can happen, but its solved now. If is still happening to you, take down the download, and change your password and stuff.

Thanks for your time. The login box is labeled 'Channel,' but I’ll make it more noticeable to help avoid any confusion. I’ll also add a fail safe so the log in button prompts the user if haven’t entered a name.

This fix,together with the Season 1 content, will be in the upcoming patch in a few days (Im expecting it on the 28th). 

Thanks for checking out the game! The login process is actually pretty simple—

Just enter your Twitch name in the box and you're good to go.

If you're having trouble, let me know, and I'd be happy to help.

Hey sorry for the late reply, you are right, a few commands weren't displayed on this last update, it was my bad, a new big update is coming in just a few days that should be correcting this. 

As for the actual list of commands, is as follows: 

!stats

!change (character) 

!missing

!hire

!ascend and !yes (to confirm ascending) 

Channel rewards points used to be part of it, but there were very buggy, ended up scraping it's implementation, might be revisiting this in future updates.

Thanks for the comment, as I said, in just a few days the new content patch should be correcting this!

Hello there Kiddolink, just wanted to let you know your work is incredible. I bought a couple of months ago your season 1 pack, I has been so good for my project (I'm learning programing by making my game), that I simply cannot pass on more of these! Soon I will get the season 2 pack too, stay awesome :)

Hello! I have just finished my first game project, its an idle game based on Final Fantasy, with a lot of the mechanics of the old age RPGs (Like FF7, 8 and 9)

The game plays on its own, the only thing you need is connect it to your Twitch chat (or any other public streamer if you want to test it, the game doesn't interact with the chat itself, so it won't disturb anyone)  as your chat becomes more powerful, the game will be able to push it further on the stages, can you beat the entire game? Well that's only the beginning.

The game is designed to occupy a small portion of your layout on OBS, so you can just let it run in the corner while you stream your main game.

It is a fan game, so as such I made it free, feel free to play with your chat!

This is my first time doing any level of game-dev, or dealing with itch, so if I am doing anything wrong, I apologize in advance.

I am looking for feedback too if you give it a chance, I think the game is functional as it is, but if people use it, I'll probably keep updating it with more characters and stuff. Thank you!
