I totally understand! But it's totally OK if it's not in an particular bundle. This is the game we wanted to make, and I wouldn't really want to change it for that :)
Yeah, it's probably because Unity uses the operating system's video API to read the video, so Wine would need mp4/H.264 support. I'll make a Linux build one day if I get the time to allocate to learn installing and building on Linux. I've been unsuccessful the past times I tried some Linux distros (driver compatibility issues every time), but it might work on my new PC?
There are no secret areas in this one. But some really neat skips are possible in high score mode (especially when exploiting the pause momentum trick), and some whacky score names if you can come up with a way to get really high scores.
I really liked this little goofy art experience, well done! I noticed a tiny little bug, if the page zoom is not 100% in Firefox, Doomguy turns at a constant speed very slowly to the right (I tend to have pages zoomed in a bit bc my vision isn't perfect)
The game is very absurdist, so the events aren't meant to have an explanation or logic that maps to the real world. That said, there is an internal logic to the game.
Most buttons on the bottom row of the keyboard will work! No controller support unfortunately. Controls are left without description because.... shenanigans! (you'll find out). But yeah, space bar will work, and lots of other keys, they all do the same thing!
No, you're still playing :) But you may not be completely in control over everything. But controlling the ball will be in your hands... well, mostly -ish!
I created the visual effects in the Unity package VFX graph, it's very powerful for this sort of thing. I'll see if I can find some way to share the graphs for the effects I made.
Also, this is a little bit of a stretch, but it's the only thing I can think of: If you have special audio settings with some kind of "focus mode", try disable that before you start the game? For one tester, a mode like that related to his bluetooth headset interfered with the game's video playback.
Weird, I wonder what's causing it. I can't reproduce it on my computer. If you in Windows press Win+R, and paste this in: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Nifflas' Games\Xenosphere it should open a folder containing the file Player.log
This file might contain info that can help me work out the cause of the crash. If you can send me the info in this file somehow, I could see if I can figure out what's causing it.
I think Unity uses the Windows API to play video though, and maybe differences in Windows versions/installations can cause this?
I'm sorry, I don't know how to port my adaptive music software to HTML5 and the web compatibility with one of the game's surprise features are so lacking I don't think it's an option right now.
I'd like to build for mac, but I'd need a mac to build it on (both because my adaptive music software and IL2CPP), and I can't afford one right now.
Thank you! A tip: It's actually quite inspired by the movie "Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes" - if you enjoyed the recursive stuff in this game, you're very likely to have a good time with that too!
Many other seem to like what we did. But, there's no way to make a thing that every person ever likes, and that's OK. This is the game we wanted to make.
Hey! Thank you so much for wanting to support us! Unfortunately I don't have it set up right now, but I'm going to look into making it an option for my next game. Keep an eye out for that!
Thank you! Yeah, the work to get that to feel natural was one of the biggest challenges with making this! Neila and Alistair were amazingly good and I'm very happy how it turned out.
I've fixed it now and uploaded a new version: 1.0.4, which you can download on this page!
The explanation for the bug is, before I fixed it just now, my adaptive music software opened instruments with read/write access instead of just read access, which means the OS denies access since the "Program Files" directory is protected. Most people probably ran it from the desktop or download folder, which is why they weren't affected.
Thank you so much for giving me this log data! This has been helpful in a very big way, especially since this is a mistake in code I use in multiple projects.
