Yeah. First Microsoft messed up the new .NET 10 release. It fails to create proper Android packages. This cost me already a whole day. Then I finally released but Google Play has some new fancy requirement so my Android release had an error based on that (not a real error but Google’s requirement was not met). The problem is that I can’t really do much about it, as I have library dependencies which cause this and they provide no updates.. Still my first release went through because I could click on “Ignore error” in Google. But I had the interface bug in it. I spent almost 6 hours to resolve all my errors and tried to release again. Same Google error of course but this time no option to ignore it. So I was stuck. Could not update nor revert the previous release… Spent many hours today building libraries like SDL and Silk.NET from scratch, fiddling around with all kind of stuff and now finally I managed to make it work… The new release was accepted and it runs on my phone. So fingers crossed. It will be available in a couple of minutes I guess.
Hi Alex. Danke für das Angebot. Also Daten halte ich auf jeden Fall keine geheim. Ganz im Gegenteil. Aber es ist relativ kompliziert bzw. man müsste die Datenformate extrem gut kennen und verstehen wie ich es implementiert habe. Ich glaube das kann ich keinem zumuten. Aber danke. Ich hoffe es wird nicht all zu lange dauern.
danke für dein nettes Feedback. Freut mich, dass das Projekt so gut ankommt.
Um ehrlich zu sein wechselt der Fokus immer mal ein wenig was neue Features angeht. Das ist aber auch wichtig um meine Motivation zu halten. Nach einigen Jahren am selben Projekt ist irgendwann die Luft raus. Aber ich schaffe es immer noch gut am Ball zu bleiben, indem ich mal den Fokus wechsle.
Zur Zeit arbeite ich an der 4. Episode von Ambermoon Advanced und parallel ab und an am Mod Support. Außerdem arbeite ich auch noch an einem Remake für Amberstar.
Der Questlog ist natürlich auch noch auf der Liste für dieses Jahr, aber das ist eine Menge manuelle Fleißarbeit, die nicht so spaßig ist. Es geht vorallem darum alle Quests als solche zu identifizieren und sie anhand von Markern im Spiel irgendwie aus dem Savegame herleiten zu können. Das ist mühselig, daher habe ich momentan erst so 5-6 Questreihen fertig.
Ich versuche also den Questlog auch noch dieses Jahr fertigzustellen, aber das wird vermutlich eher gegen Ende des Jahres oder zumindest in der zweiten Jahreshälfte was.
Danke für deine Nachricht. Ja ich arbeite bereits an Amberstar.net. Man kann schon auf den 2D und 3D Karten rumlaufen und ein paar Events wie Textpopups usw auslösen. Die Musik läuft so halb. Es gibt noch einiges zu tun, aber ich arbeite immer mal wieder dran.
Also Testen wird bestimmt bald wichtig, denn ehrlich gesagt kenne ich Amberstar nur wenig. Ich bin damals direkt mit Ambermoon eingestiegen. Ich orientiere mich hauptsächlich an Let’s Plays und den Daten.
Wenn du Lust hast könntest du meinen Discord Server joinen. Da gibt es auch ein paar erste Videos von Amberstar.net.
Actually I regularly talk to Jurie Horneman and Erik Simon. They are on my discord servers. I think they like what I do. Beside when I find a bug which Jurie made back then and fix it. :D
Yes I am already working on it. There is a working prototype where you can explore 2D and 3D maps. I guess the inventory and conversations also work partially already.
The project is currently in my Amber repository which unifies the engine to work for Amberstar and Ambermoon and maybe also for the future third part.
I you want to try, I could provide a prototype. But it will take a while to finish everything.
If I understand you correctly the 1.9.10 works because it generates the .so file but 1.10.4 is not? Or is it now working with all versions after your fix?
Thank you so much. If you want to support me, on the project dev page at https://github.com/Pyrdacor/Ambermoon.net you can scroll down to “Support the project”. There are several ways like Patreon, Flattr or Ko-fi.
Or maybe not one main campaign because new content is mostly optional. Especially the new quests and dungeons. But they are fun and you get cool rewards.
There are also new spells, items and changes to the game mechanics like curse effects, element damage bonus and so on.
Basically each episode adds new content to the game. I am a single person and developing such large expansion needs years to finalize. So I decided to release content in episodes. It still is one main campaign but at certain points you get a notification that new content might be added to the area you are about to go.
Currently it is open for testers as a beta version. You could join if you want. All you need is a playstore account and to send the associated email to me. I can activate you then.
Hi. Does it crash or is the black screen staying forever? You can try to start the game from the command line, maybe there is some error output then. There also might be some error text file created next to the main executable.
Tried to investigate this based on your provided logs. It seems like there is some OpenGL issue. Maybe some random driver issue? Could you reproduce this? What happens directly before the crash?
Normally it is saved in a config file. I assume that some permission issues again hinder the game to save the file with your settings. I am not that familiar with Macs. On Windows I would suggest to run the game as an administrator.
Thanks for your report. Was there any error this time? Maybe you could start the app from the terminal because there might be error messages visible then. Thanks
Hi can you try to move the application to your Programs folder? Some users had similar issues and could resolve it this way. I think it has to do something with the user privileges for the containing folder etc.
