Hello! Whenever a major release of Transportal comes out for Patrons, the previous release's in-game content becomes freely downloadable on itch.io.
Currently, the newest (Patreon-only) release is 0.3.4. When the next major release comes out for Patrons, itch.io will get the content in 0.3.4 for free.
So yes, the current Patreon version's in-game content will eventually be on itch.io. Patrons just get access to the content earlier. :)
Hmmm, I’ll have to keep touchscreens in mind. I haven’t tested the game using a touchscreen. Thank you for the information, and I’m glad you got it working. :)
I appreciate the information! I may look back to this if I do decide to work on more active mobile support (and if that is necessary). Good luck getting it working, if you decide to do so! :)
I've been told that a couple people have gotten the Web version of the game working on Android using Joiplay, although that's the extent of my knowledge on the subject. Someone did also say that the game made their phone run hot, i.e. that it was performance-heavy. The game runs at the 1920x1080 resolution, so that may be why.)
The game is only tested on Windows though, hence the other versions being listed as "untested". :) Thank you again!
Although it’s tempting to give people estimates or release dates, I try to refrain from doing so, since they are very difficult to make accurate (especially as a solo developer).
Instead, I try to handle these questions by telling people that I’m still actively working on the game, and giving some information on what I’ve been working on. :)
Hi! The game is still actively being worked on. :)
The Early Release on Patreon is currently at 0.2.7, which is ahead of the current itch.io release. That version is available to download if you subscribe to the Early Release Supporter tier on Patreon.
About my development progress:
My currently-unreleased developer version contains a decent amount of new art (especially character expression art), as well as what I think is a decent amount of new in-game content. :3
I’m continuing to work hard on it, and I hope people will enjoy it when it’s released!
Thank you for the positive comment! I’m glad you like the game! Transportal is still actively being worked on. I’m looking forward to the game’s playtime growing longer!
Hmmm, I might look back at it to see if there's a way I could tweak it, but that text is kind of necessary for the player to understand how to play the game, so I don't think it can be outright removed.
May I ask which dev text? I've generally tried to make the unavoidable developer/tutorial text shorter than the more in-depth information that's available through the Help Item, and the Library.
I’ve been trying to keep the developer/system comments interesting, as well as relevant to what’s currently going on in the game around that moment.
I think it feels better to read that way, rather than if there was a ton of info dumped on the player at once (although that extra, longer info IS there if people want to read it, via the “Help Info” key item, and the library).
Transportal is continuously releasing updates for BOTH Patrons AND on itch.io.
When a major release come out for Patrons, the previous release becomes freely downloadable on itch.io.
To put it simply: Currently, the newest (Patreon-only) release is 0.2.7. When the next major release comes out for Patrons, itch.io will get 0.2.7 for free. :)
Thanks for playing, and thanks for the positive words!
You need to go to the inn in the city you’re currently at. (Although you might have to go talk to the librarian first, if you haven’t done that yet). Hope that helps!
I’m assuming you played 0.1.7. Yeah, I can see how the end of content screen is a bit abrupt there.
In the current Newest Release, 0.2.7, the game does tell you to “finish anything else you want to do first” before proceeding towards a certain area (which leads to the end of content). I think I’ll try to continue to do it that way in the future.
Yeah, the auto routing isn't really on my end, but I honestly have thought it was a little too easy to run into the waterfall jump there. It's possible I could add something in the way. We'll see. :3
