Most renpy games uses simple code that, most of the time, would never get broken. That's sad, I thought there was a way to like... choose the renpy version per-game, not per instance of joiplay. Have you checked long-pressing the game, going to edit and changing the "engine version"?
You can also try the apk tho, if that does not work. At least until there's a workaround.
Hello, yes, Joiplay is supported, but what Joiplay does is using it's own renpy version, and people tend to customize or change things. I realized this over years of supporting and helping people who use joiplay, and my answer was because lots of these players doesn't normally know the game has an APK version. I think it was a little bit dimissive, yes, I tried answering as fast as possible, but I always suggest using the APK.
The game works perfectly. The reason the game might not be working on the user's end is because the joiplay version that is running renpy and opening the game is old/new and the code of the game is not updated for that version. See it as trying to play a game from Unreal Engine 4 and trying to run it in Unreal Engine 5, just as a quick example.
Maybe I should have told the solution, that is change the renpy version, but sometimes that's not even enough, people tend to modify files, apply patches and stuff that it is really difficult to give support.
In short, the game is not broken, Joiplay works. Settings of the own joiplay are making the game broken. Or maybe something entirely different. I'm sorry for the rude response, that's my bad tbh, I don't t know why I answered that way.
The proper renpy version for the game is Ren'Py 8.0.3.22090809
If you have time, I would recommend starting again. If you don't, then your save will work perfectly. And if you can handle time very well, I would wait for 1.2.1 (The version after Chapter 1, that will come relatively fast and will have a rework of the entire start of the game)
You will have the same amount of coins. The only difference is that now 1 silver is 1000 copper and 1 gold is 1000 silver. But prices remain the same. (Something that was worth 1 silver is now worth 100 copper.)
I understand people asking for updates, and I also agree with them. The update should have been out a lot of time ago, but I hope they also understand why it took so long after seeing the chapter and the update, with all the new and changed stuff.
It is not that I don't want people to complain about it, it is easy for me to literally delete all complains and bad comments in this post. I can literally nuke them all if I wanted, but I won't. I will NEVER delete a bad comment, no matter if I believe they are wrong or not.
In your previous comment, I just wanted to tell you about the transparency the game development has regardless of release dates, mostly of your comparison with yanderedev. My comment was to INFORM about the transparency and where to check it, not to debate you nor argue with you, it is always that way.
At the end, it is up to you guys to decide if you still support me, if you still wait for the game to release, if you play it, etc.
I just hope that, once the update comes out, you guys can play it for free, with no compromises, and decide by yourselves.
Hello, I have full transparency on every new content that the game will have. I constantly show photos and gameplay videos of what I do. Please, join discord and check the #dev-log channels.
I'm showing observable, playable gameplay on video, it is kinda nonsense to think that I'm gating that content for me so I can milk patreon, considering I promised to keep Patreon post frozen until the update is ready.
If I wanted to milk money, I would just post regular updates with zero to null effort. Please, take a look at what I've done. The update will come whenever it's time for it to come.
Sometimes, for some devices, itch.io launcher somehow doesn't properly read files, so some parts of the game are pure black or there are crashes everywhere. This is problaly me uploading it the wrong way, tho.
Dev-log is just simple day-by-day stuff and incomplete stuff or concepts that I'M WORKING IN.
Trello is for full fledged systems/events that were properly tested and are added to the next update.
Logs come from DISCORD, not TRELLO. Trello doesn't have much activity because there are a lot of changes which, in part, they are done, but not PROPERLY TESTED and not completely added 100% for the update.
What I'm doing is just posting here everytime I post in discord. No more than that.
Now imagine if those projects were actually made from zero from guys who have absolutely 0 experience in doing them? 0 experience practically and theorically. They have to literally learn from zero.
Would it take the same time? Do you think it would be completed?
Hello. I post daily progress on discord. Please, enter, do the verification steps and check #dev-log.
That way, you can see day by day how the game is changing and judge by yourself if it is worth the wait or the changes are enough or not!
I do not post in Patreon because it was a promise to my community that I wouldn't do random posts that might make someone suscribe. Next Patreon post is the update. For ANYTHING else, you can enter discord, that is free, without paywall and you can interact directly with me on a daily basis. And even ask whatever you want to ask.
