I'm so glad the app has been a help! I will look into adding more emoji options

Thank you so much for sharing this lovely story, it makes me so happy to hear and to imagine the room full of StimuWrite sounds!!! 💜

This is in the works! Hopefully soon

Muhahahahah!!

Thank you! 

I'm so glad it's been helpful!

Unfortunately that's not possible at this time but it's a feature I will probably add in the next version.

Ah! That sounds really frustrating, sorry about that. It looks like a bug is causing the fonts to not delete. Please try the following steps:

1. Open StimuWrite. Go to Advanced Settings and click the red "Delete All" button. (This will delete all themes and recovery files and supposed to delete addons)

2. In your computer's file explorer, go to this folder:

Windows %APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\StimuWrite\
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Godot/app_userdata/StimuWrite/
Linux:  ~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/StimuWrite/


3. Manually delete the addons folder

4. Open StimuWrite. Download and install the add-on again. Make sure to use the original file name.

Please let me know if that fixes the issue. I'm not sure what caused the bug, sorry about that.

Thank you so much for your support!

I may put together a theming guide and template soon and will let you know if I do! I wouldn’t attempt without one unless you love reverse-engineering things because it’s not straightforward. 

Thank you! I always appreciate the support :)

I’m so glad you like it!

Thank you! I will take into consideration about hiding the progress bar. As for still backgrounds, the video backgrounds have a “pause” button above the dropdown you can use to make them still :)

You're welcome :D (thanks for picking up the theme!)

Yay! I’m so glad you like it :D

You're welcome :)

Thank you!

Oh no! I'm so sorry that happened. You could check to see if the recovery file has the words, but it's a bit of a long shot. You can find it here:

Windows
>%APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\StimuWrite\stimuwrite_recover.txt

macOS: ~/Library/Application</span> <span class="pre">Support/Godot/app_userdata/StimuWrite/stimuwrite_recover.txt

Linux:
 ~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/StimuWrite/stimuwrite_recover.txt

Also, if you find the app is crashing, please try turning off GPU particles. Click on the link at the bottom titled Options, then Advanced Settings > GPU particles. Toggle this to OFF. This feature causes crashing on some user's machines and will be disabled by default in future versions.

So unfortunately because StimuWrite was created with a game engine there are certain video cards it won't work with. I will look into creating a version that's backward compatible. In the meantime, there's an app called WriteRush on itch that is inspired by StimuWrite and should work on any graphics card that you could check out.

Noted! Thanks, it helps to know what is and isn't working for people

Yes, unfortunately, due to technical limitations of the engine alt codes currently don't work. May I ask what special characters you use? There's an option to turn double dashes into em dashes, maybe I could implement something similar for other ones.

Very cool! I can look into creating a theming guide and template, but for sounds and add-ons there's currently no way for me to enable other people to be able to make/add them to the program. 

So it’s an intentional design decision that the background doesn’t save, the idea is that setting the background acts as an intention setting ritual. I’m wondering if it’s not actually helpful though 🤔

Due to technical limitations of the engine I used to build it, it’s unlikely I’ll be able to add this feature. If you have a comic sans alternative you like that’s open source I’d be happy to include it in an update :)

try downloading it through the itch.io desktop client, that usually fixes any issues people may have with opening the program :)

Good job! Looking forward to seeing how it develops :)

yes! You can sign up for the email list to be notified when it’s ready :)

I'm glad you were able to find it! Some more detailed documentation is a good idea.

EDIT: For anyone finding this comment before additional documentation is added the recover feature is found here: Options (link at bottom of writing window) > Recover Session

Oh geez, that's not good. I'm glad you were able to find the recovery feature but it shouldn't be crashing on you like that.

If you don't mind helping me debug this, please email stimuwrite@distant-tundra.com so I can send you a debug version that will log the error. I'm happy to send you free theme packs if you are able to help. Thank you!

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear it's crashing for you. If you don't mind helping me debug this, please email stimuwrite@distant-tundra.com so I can send you a debug version that will log the error. I'm happy to send you free theme packs if you are able to help. Thank you!

That's a great idea!

Not yet, but an android version is in development

Those are great suggestions! I will definitely consider them. And I love hearing about what set ups people use, thanks for sharing!

I will take that into consideration!

i love hearing about your setup and I’m so glad that the app is helping you! Thank you!

i will look into if any of the sounds need further editing! My suspicion is the problem is with lag

this is super helpful for fixing this bug, thanks for chiming in!

i will look into this, thank you!

if you don’t mind helping with testing I can send you a debug version to figure out your issue. Please email me : stimuwrite@eveharms.com

hmm that’s no good. Do you mind providing your system info? Have you tried changing the particle system setting? Is there a combination of features you are using when it usually happens? 

i will look into that, thank you!
