itch.io

Under the game description there's a blue button  that says "Download now". Click on it, and on the next screen, click the link that says "No, just take to the downloads" and then click the red "download" button of the version you want (android, pc or mac).

Hello! You need to download the game again by following the download instructions on our latest devlog . Make sure to check you are playing the 1.3 version (you can check it on the "About" screen)

Hello! To get Lucas's route, you need to choose "I kissed someone" at the end of chapter 1, and then choose him as a suspect when the possibility comes up on chapter 2 😊

Hello! Saves are usually kept between updates, they should only be deleted after clicking the "change language" setting.

On the next update though, as we've mentioned on our latest update notice, all players will need to start from scratch because of some important core changes in the code. We know this is not ideal, but remember the game is still in development, and that means some potential errors might come up (and solving them might cause the need to start over, like it happened this time). Sorry! 🩷

But, unless another major bug appears in the future after version 1.3 update on December 29th, your old saves should be perfectly functional in the following updates 🙂 Just make sure to not delete the app data from your phone!

Hola! Si, es normal 😉 Tiene ese nombre porque es la forma en la que nos aseguramos que se mantienen las analíticas entre actualizaciones, pero una vez instales y abras el juego, podrás ver la versión a la que estás jugando en la pantalla "Acerca de", y ahí sí debería ponerte la versión más reciente, que en tu caso es 1.2.3 

Again, we didn't update the devlog in any moment, haha.  But, hey, we understand something must have happened for you to see the Spanish version in English. Maybe your phone had the web translator on? Anyways, thanks for trying to let us know!

What? We didn't update anything. The Spanish version of the devlog has been there since the moment we published it. That's actually why we thought you were talking about the game's language, because the devlog was in both languages when you commented 🤷‍♀️

Hello! To change language, you need to go to the "Settings" screen and click on the icon next to "Change language". Thanks for playing! <3

Hello! The game might take some time to load in some devices, it is a known issue. We recommend giving the game a bit more time and wait a few more minutes, and in case the problem persists, exit the game and leave it running in the background, then return to it, since doing this has worked for some players.

Ok so we investigated a bit on the itchio forums and found some users with your same problem when running other games. For some of them this issue was fixed automatically after a while for unkown reasons, but for one of them, it was fixed by keeping the game folders on their PC's desktop and running the game from there. 

Aside from that, we can't think of any other reason for the game to not run properly ☹️ Hope this helps!

Hello, could you please give us a bit more of info so we can help you? Are you playing on Android? There are no screens thay show the "not available" message so we are a bit lost here haha

On the Android version, the game might take a bit more time to load after changing the language settings, so please be patient if that's the case. It's an issue that only comes up on certain devices, and we can't do much about it :(

Hello! Make sure to extract all the files from the zip folder, and please take into account that your PC 's antivirus software may be preventing the game from running (if that's the case, a notification should pop up and you can click "More info" and then "Run anyway".) The PC version also includes de Linux version of the application, so make sure you are clicking the right icon, too.

PC version has been working fine, so we are a bit lost on why you are having issues to run the game. Please let us know if any of this helped you! 😊

Hello! 😊 We are waiting until the end of the common route to create a guide/walkthrough of sorts. We thought that would be better, because there's still some important choices to make in chapters 3 and 4 to enter each route 🤭

We also think knowing which choices the player has to choose at this stage of development might take the fun out of exploring different combinations of choices. But we will definitely work on it so you all can have a clearer picture of how the choices system works! 🫡

Hello! Personality stats don't really affect which routes are available on your playthrough. Please check our reply to the OP for more info 🙂

Yes, exactly! The choices are what determines which routes are available. Please, check our reply to the OP ☺️

Hello! To enter each route, you need to make a combination of certain choices. One thing players usually overlook is that choosing if you are the one to give the kiss, or the one you receive it, has a major impact in which routes will be available in the following chapters (that's why some characters are automatically ruled out in your playthrough).

We understand if you don't want to play the whole game again, but we always encourage to do so because part of the fun lies exactaly on that (we work really hard on making the script really different and replayable after all 🥲). The plot of the game revolves around "finding out" who was the kisser/who did you kiss, so simply stating which choices to choose to get one result or another might take the fun out of it at this stage.

Thank you for playing! And thank you for letting us know which points of the game you found confusing, that helps us reflect about our own work 😊

Hello! Yes, you need to redownload the game (make sure you are playing version 1.2.3 of the game, you can look it up in the "About" screen).

About replaying the whole thing from the begining... That is up to you 😊 We just recommend to start over because old saves usually end up causing bugs. Actually, in this version, we already found out old saves don't show the character's affinity percentage properly on the stats screen 🥲

We hope you enjoy the new content! 💕

Hello! It is clearly stated that the protagonist is female in the description (FAQ). Also, the game is tagged as "female protagonist".  It's a matter of... scrolling down.

The time the characters take to reply may sometimes indicate much about how they are feeling about what you said. Also, some messages can be deleted by a character, and if you speed it too much you might not get to see its original content. They also hesitate when typing, make pauses, delete what they were gonna say for sooome reasons... Also, the speed at which the text is shown during the calls also marks the speed of speech, which helps to imagine the intonation, the character intentions and feelings... The timing of the messages is a big part of TYL's storytelling 😊

• ENGLISH:

 Hello! 👋 We are Alma and Vera (Pizza Writers), developers of Text Your Life, a game still on the works and available on Itchio and Steam on an early access state. We are looking for a graphic designer / digital artist to commission the following game / game page assets:

- Game logo on the title screen

- Game icon - Cover image and banner for the Itchio game page

- Steam capsules

We’ve been using images created by ourselves until now (and they look horrible 🫣), so we need someone with skill to remake them and make them look more professional and eye-catching. Text Your Life is a romance game and the target audience is female, so we’d like to go for a cute style that, at the same time, lets potential players know this is a mobile phone simulator/romance game.

If it’s possible, we’d also like for the new title / icon / game page assets to still be recognizable by those who already played the available content (we know this might be impossible, though, so it’s not really a requisite). In general, the job consists in creating a new title image with some elements (for example: a mobile phone, hearts, chat bubble…) and reestructure these same elements so they fit the different required sizes for every asset.

If you’re interested, just leave us some way to contact you (Discord user, email, socials, etc), and tell us about your past experience or leave us a link to your portfolio. We will get back to you as soon as possible, so we can talk a bit more about the specifics of the comission, and to ask for your rates.

Thank you! 😊

• ESPAÑOL:

 ¡Hola! 👋 Somos Alma y Vera (Pizza Writers), las creadoras de Text Your Life, un juego actualmente en desarrollo disponible en Itchio y Steam. Estamos buscando un diseñador gráfico/artista digital a quien encargar el diseño de:

- Logo del juego en la pantalla de título

- Icono del juego - Portada y banner de la página del juego en Itchio

- Cápsulas de Steam

Por ahora, hemos estado utilizando imágenes que hemos creado nosotras (y son muy feas 🫣) y necesitamos que alguien con gusto las rehaga para que sean más profesionales y atractivas. Como se trata de un juego de romance y dirigido a público femenino, nos gustaría que el estilo fuera cute, y que con un vistazo se entienda que se trata de un juego de simulación de chat móvil y romance.

También nos gustaría que en la medida de lo posible, continuara siendo reconocible por las personas que ya lo han jugado (aunque sabemos que esto probablemente no se pueda cumplir, así que tampoco es un requisito obligado). En general, se trata de crear una imagen con título y algunos elementos (por ejemplo: un teléfono móvil, corazón, bocadillo de chat, etc) e ir reestructurándolo para que encajen en los diferentes tamaños exigidos.

Si te interesa este encargo, déjanos alguna manera de contactar contigo (usuario de Discord, email, alguna red social), y coméntanos si tienes experiencia previa o déjanos un link a tu portfolio, si tienes. Nosotras contactaremos lo antes posible, para especificar más aún sobre lo que necesitamos, y para preguntar tarifas y plazos.

¡Gracias a todos! 😊

Hello! "Even so, we hope that this does not keep you from enjoying the game and having a fun time with the Supergroup" does not mean at all "we hope the gender doesn't ruin the game for you!". Not the same words, and obviously not the intention you are making it seem by quoting it in that strange way.

We will, though, apologize if that's how you understood our explanation. As we explained a few comments below to another player (who voiced your same concern about the gender selection, but in a very much polite way, if we are being honest): "we understand, we also relate more with females for the same reason! We would love to create another game with a male character, but we would probably find it difficult to write a story from a male point of view because we are both women 😣 But who knows! We will consider all this when Text Your Life is finished! 😊".

Hope that clears the reason why our protagonist is female. Thank you for trying our game, even if it's not what you expected it to be. Have a nice day! 🙂

Aww sorry, no English traslation for this one 😅 We are so busy with Text Your Life that we put everything else aside for the moment. We'll think about translating it into English in the future! <333

Haha there will be more chances to get on his nerves in the future! 😈😈

Hehe thank you for playing! 🩷 Sofía would definitely try to get you to move back home with her puppy eyes! 😆😅

Aww thank you 🥰 We are working on the rest of chapter 2 content right now!

Thanks for playing! ☺️ 

About the text speed, you can change a few options in the settings screen and use the "Skip" function: 

-Activate "Skip unseen text"

-Move the "Skipping speed" slider to minimum speed (or the speed you prefer).

-Now you can press Skip for the messages to appear faster 😉

Hello! 🙂 It will be the player's choices what determines which route they will be locked into, so yes, the person the player kissed/the person that kissed the player differs between routes! 🙃 MC's personality might also affect the outcome! 

¡Hola! 🙂 El juego sólo está disponible para Android, y para PC

Hello! Yeah, who the girls investigate first does not change even if you choose different combinations of options. But every choice the players make, and the personality they "build", will have effects in the following chapters (only one chapter and a half has been published, so it's a bit early to see the consequences for now). Chapters 2 and 3 are really important when it comes to get to one route or another! 🤭

Only the guys are available as romantic interests, Rebs was just getting a bit carried away 😂 Thanks for playing! <3

Hello! We always recommend starting from the beggining after updates, but that's up to you! 😊 But please remember that TYL is still in development, so we might make some chages to the code betwen updates, and you might run into bugs if you load an old save.

Thanks for playing! 💞

Thank you 😊💖

Hehehe our lips are sealed!! 🤐 Thanks for playing! <3

Giving us your feedback is already a way of supporting us! Thank you 😊 Remember you can also join  Patreon as a free member, we post free things over there too every now and then! <3

🤐🤐🤐🤭

Hello! 😊 Even though "cheating" is included in the trigger warnings list, we'd like to point out that we give enough choices in the game so the player can avoid any kind of cheating (except for the initial kiss that, well, is kinda inevitable for plot reasons). 

We are obviously against any type of cheating, so even if the plot revolves around that theme, we usually don't write anything too...extreme.

If you decide to give the game a chance, we really hope you enjoy it! ☺️

WOW thank you for such a detailed review! 🥹 We feel so happy when someone notices even the smallest details we add here and there! We even teared up while reading your comment, really, thank you so much! 💗

Developing a game has it's ups and downs, but things like these are what make it all worth it. We will keep working hard to make sure you all enjoy the rest of chapters too!

Aaaand, did you say FANART?! OMG we would absolutely love that!! 🥺🥺 TYL characters in anime style?! We wanna see!! Hehe 

Thank you for putting a smile on our faces! <33

Aww distance always makes things difficult... We are sorry something like that happened to you 😣 Daniel's route won't be an easy one, that's for sure! Thanks for playing 🥰
