Just to close this off, Lexar7z helped me out a ton and we discovered some font validation code was using a locale based character conversion which lead to validation failure.

This is not fixed in v0.6.4.8 :)

I gave you the wrong email, sorry (it was late at night for me :( ). The actual one is juhrjuhr[at]fastmail.co.uk (I've edited the original reply too).

I had a thought, are you running the game directly from the zip file without extracting it first?

Hey,

What version are you running? Are you running it windows or some linux setup?

Could you email me your most recent log file to juhrjuhr[at]fastmail.co.uk? You can find it in the "Logs" folder of the game folder.

This is quite a strange error. The font files are embedded in the executable and so shouldn't change after compilation.

Thanks for reporting :)

Thanks! :D

Originally I was only going to have time limits, but then I saw how chill the game can be when you don't have one so I'm trying to make both approaches available :)

There is a popup when you first buy a mining charge telling you that they go in your storage and need to be put in your cargo to take them on a job, but I think this is very easily missed, especially since it will only show you it once. I'm thinking to have a popup let you choose whether to place it in cargo or storage, and then on the "job start confirmation" screen show you a little summary of the cargo you're taking with you.

Thanks for this crash report! I'll get it fixed ASAP!

That's amazing! I'm actually waiting for a Steam Deck to be delivered so I can test it there and verify it's all good 😂

Thanks for this, it's very encouraging!

Thanks for checking! It should be visible for you now :)

I published this post, then was meant to release the demo but had to run and make food haha

Yes that's a debug feature haha, good find!

In the current build it's under a compilation flag, so at some point I must have correct that.

You should be able to left click and drag the asteroids and other things around too...

Thanks! :D

Cool, thanks for this!

Cool, thanks! And the rest of the controls you kept the same?

Thank you so much for you feedback and support!

What did you rebind all of the controls to, of you don't mind telling me? I'm updating the default control scheme and want to get something that works best for people.

Good to know! Thanks very much for getting it to run :)

You're right, it shouldn't do this. I've already changed it in the latest dev build to default to 1280x720 and windowed.

If you want to play now and not have to wait a few days for a new build then you can find the settings file on your PC at: "[Your User]\AppData\Local\InfraRed\Asteroid Miner\settings.json"
Then change "WindowMode" to 0, and "Resolution" width and height to what you need.

Thanks for the report!

Finally got some art and proper logo 😎

Thanks :D There's plenty more to come!

I just read through your feedback, thanks so much, lots of useful things I've made a note of :)

Thanks! It's inspired by a lot of the strange small games I played as a kid and now I have no idea what they're called

Really awesome! Feels fun and chaotic. A mode where I could fight the little guys and get revenge would be great :D

Hey! Thanks a lot for the feedback :)
Yup, these are all common issues people have been having, and I've already addressed them in my dev build. I think I made a mistake calling this a demo as it's actually an alpha, haha.

Wow, thanks a lot for this! Really great feedback :)
You'll be glad to know a lot of your issues are either already fixed or next on my list. It would be awesome if you would revisit it later on in development.

Thanks! :D

In v0.2 this is a little more clear now :)

I'll add a little run down in the game description

D:

There's a new sheriff in town.

I've uploaded a new version that doesn't require .Net now :)

Hey, give me a bit of time and I'll upload a version with .Net packaged so you don't have to install it yourself.

Thanks so much for playing!
Did you figure out what to do with the Lich's stone? :)

As for more content, not really. I'm getting started on something new and leaving this as pretty much finished.

Thank you! :D

Fun! :D

It's most likely you don't have .Net 7 installed.
If you open a terminal window and run the game directly from there you should see the error.

Thank you! :)

Whoops! I missed that. Here I go again then :)

I love the controls! Forcing the cop car to swerve off of the road is really satisfying.
I wish there was a quick restart button so I didn't have to wait until 5+ seconds for it to reset :(
