Odd, it may be because of claiming it as a free prerelease copy. Mind if I simply email you a key?

Keys are up, go get yours!

Ahhh, this is very helpful for troubleshooting. Yes, as it currently is now, the main menu just uses the mouse. You can use a controller to drive the car and navigate dialogue, but at the moment the game is primarily mouse driven. We'll hopefully get a controller update out soon as we get everything working with Steam Deck.

Good to hear. Sorry for the difficulty there, as the build here is the same as what's on Steam. It may be a Steam overlay issue. I tested the main game just now on Windows 10 downloaded from Steam and was able to use my mouse and keyboard inputs and play. I can also confirm the demo works on Deck with touch input. Try restarting Steam and see if that fixes the issue. 

Yep, getting that together as we speak!

Odd, don't have the same issue here. What OS are you on? And does the demo here have the same issue?

You can swap a dish for another by clicking on them, but yes I agree. Too busy ATM to do Steam with Keepsake County and Broke Signal Badlands, but that stuff will be added when we do!

Thanks! Will try to get those suggestions in, cooking an update that'll come out soon with the other feedback from this round of players

There is an experimental Linux build now

Ahhh thanks so much! It's great to hear from a fellow traveler of the desert. I hope you enjoy!

No worries, it's much appreciated. Don't have a Linux partition here RN so I haven't done a build for it but should, so thank you for the reminder!

That's sorta in the works for the steam release, shhhh don't tell anyone...

Yep! Should've added that as well.

Yes, this will just update to match the version on Steam

Thanks so much! It was a highlight of working on this, and seemed like an oddly natural fit.

You type your Twitch account's name into the box and click "connect", and the game will connect to your active stream as a regular user to check for !panchin commands in your stream's chat :)

Aw thank you!

Thanks!

Good news, we just updated it! Definitely play it again.

Demo is on Steam, full beta version is here until it is finished.

Oh thanks! Glad you're enjoying them!

Hey, sorry about this. We won't have Stripe up for another two weeks at the earliest.

I'll consider the idea as a separate mode, though it'd kinda remove the idle aspect. At that point it'd basically just be buttons.

Aw thanks! Hope you enjoy it!

Yep!

I love the inclusion of Joshua Trees, hell yeah. Still so excited about this

Thanks so much!

Congrats on the win! Well deserved imo

god every time I see an update about this project I just soak in those fresh chunky visuals. this rules

Thanks for the kind words! And for the wishlist :)

It's voice reactive, so theoretically, you could do something like stream a HONK window with your avatar via discord or zoom and include the greenscreen, and they capture that themselves in OBS and key it out on their end?

Thanks! Ton of work to get together.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. There's a few more lurking around, some obvious and some much harder to find. Maybe we'll make a list...

Aw, thanks! That's a high compliment to be getting, I'm glad you're enjoying it.

We spent October making a new game for people to play, that's Halloween themed. You're a deliveryman bringing weird, Halloween-themed treats to the equally weird town of 35+ residents. You can play it here: https://forwardinstinct.itch.io/villain-vegan

And check the postmortem here:  https://forwardinstinct.itch.io/villain-vegan/devlog/446307/postmortem

No, it's just a free tech demo. If you figured out possession then you've done everything tbh

If you're in the right state of mind, you can read the mind of the cashier and take control.

Wow, thanks for playing and making a video! Genuinely a delight to watch somebody play it live. So glad you liked it and the art! This was really valuable to seeing how we pace the tutorial too - we put controls for the ladder in, but not next to the ladder. And also to fix some of the driving mechanics like the ditch! That's definitely a bug.

Right now as of 0.52, you can play for longer than 4 minutes but the cops arrive on an automated burglar alarm and you make less money. Previously we had a hard cutoff of 4 minutes that simply ended the map - we felt like this was a compromise between those who wanted to stealth through the whole thing and people who wanted to speed through. I think we'll continue tweaking this particular point more and more as we get more feedback.

Hey Layers! Thanks for playing and the feedback, glad you're enjoying it! There currently is a tutorial - right under the "Play Demo" button, in the main menu.

We're taking any and all feedback - thanks for your thoughts on the cops arriving.

I'll be honest, we don't know yet since it's super early days, but it's built in unity and that manages to run on quite a few platforms. I looked up your graphics specs from that - if it can run TF2 I would be pretty surprised if it can't run this, but I would understand if the sprites give it trouble. I hope that's a helpful answer.
