itch.io

there is no estimated release date yet, lot of things are still under development, specially the story mode. Once 1.0 version is done, I'm sorry but the game will no longer be free, and the android version will take a bit more time. There are places online where it will be free tho, since I cannot escape piracy hahahah so I just embraced it, if you don't really have the money don't sweat it and go for a pirate version, play it, and if you wish to support me one day you could purchase the game later.

Yes, and it is a great suggestion, thank you.

Thing is, project isn't done yet, and is subject to many changes, a liter version requires to modify a lot of things that could break it, I only will do something like that when the PC version is fully done.

Also hiring someone is a bit out of budget atm... but maybe after the steam full release, I would.

I know, sorry man, gotta finish the PC version first, then I will try to aim for android again!

It is paused for the moment, till PC version is fully done. Sorry for the inconvinience

Just released 0.5.1 here for free, and 0.6.0 at Patreon,
enjoy!

You're right, I keep finding those stunlocks sometimes too ^^' there's also a bug that makes the player invisible after a grab... things like that are still happening but I'm trying my best to fix em

mobile or pc version? what does the message shows?

yes, already 5 bosses and 15 enemies in the patreon version though :P

Asi es, gracias por entenderlo!

Por el momento estará en pausa ya que me gustaría poder sacar la version de android cuando el juego esté completo y pueda darle la optimización adecuada para que funcione correctamente.

I'll consider it in the future 🤔

Sorry about that!

thank you for trying the game

Yes, sorry about that.

I'm pausing the development for android until I'm able to make those versions correctly:

0.4.2 worked on many android devices but seems like it still doesn't work on some that should be able to handle it... is confusing haha

yeah that phone should be able to handle the game perfectly... so I'm a bit confused.

I guess it is a good idea to pause the development on androids for now, I will do some more research in the future or hire some help. Sorry for the inconvenience, it's annoying that I can't make it work on more devices. ಠ_ಠ

That's right, also that is the reason I'm pausing the development for android devices, although I just uploaded 0.4.2 at this itch io page cause it was already built, but I'll focus on finish the PC version from now on before attempting to build another android version

thank you for trying the game!

try the new build! 0.4 should work fine 

I'm used to it by now haha~ but I appreciate the apology, don't sweat it though, it is a reasonable comment after all

Sorry! you're right, next version (0.4) should work fine since I did a massive optimization fix regarding graphics , textures and lighting. I'll upload it soon, after finishing the current version for patreon.

You'll need various keys to play or use a controller

 There's only english and spanish at the moment, since I'm fluent with both, BUT I'll consider adding more languages after completing the game development.

thanks! but I can't promise it will work either there ^^'
As I said in the post, the android build is kinda problematic, I guess my lack of experience building for mobiles is really showing up and seems like the game is not that well optimized... currently working on that too.

yeah, also 0.4 will be uploaded here too (PC and Android versions) since they are already built. But that will be the last one in a while.

not for a while :c sorry

De momento la versión de android queda en pausa, puesto que he recibido varios reportes de que no funciona demasiado bien ^^'
Quizá cuando termine de desarrollar para PC pueda reanudar la version para móbiles...
En cualquier caso te agradezco mucho el apoyo

es una pena, pero la version de android está dando algunos problemas en ciertos dispositivos, sobre todo en móviles que no tengan demasiada RAM, por mi parte voy a seguir intentando que funcione, pero es complicado... Entre tanto puedes probar la versión de PC, da muchos menos problemas.

yeah, I'm planning on adding that again in the future, hopefully with less bugs!
For now, they will only grab you when you're defeated. (one of the enemies shines with a pink color before doing so)

I meant January 19th, haha forgot to fix the copy paste from the latest update LOL

Hum I'm so sorry, I think I can cancel your subscription if you want.
I think patreon gives the money back, don't hesitate to tell me

This is an answer I gave to an user with the same problem at patreon. (perhaps it was you? the name tag is kinda different):

I'm currently checking possible optimizations on my side, but the issue is most likely related to hardware limitations: Unreal Engine games seems to need way more RAM than I expected even though I'm using stylized graphics... If possible, please try closing background apps or restarting the device, as this can sometimes help with available memory, but can't promise it would work.

I think 0.3 should be more stable, you may want to wait for it to be free here at itch or join patreon and try it, can't promise it would work though but it should work in most androids (10~15 or more)

You're correct, you may expect 3 enemies and 1 boss per stage ^^

There arent more animations like that, but I'm planning to add some in the future.

Thanks for playing! glad you liked it ^^

I see. Hmm.
Can you tell me which version can you play of this page?
EssenceBlade-Android13-0.2? 
I might be able to make it work, I dont really want to leave anyone behind hahah
I'll continue investigating, sorry for the inconvinience, it should really be working on your device.

yeah, there's only one version now, I reuploaded the most stable one, let's see if that one works

Alright I reuploaded the android version but this time it supports Vulkan, which should match your phone specifics. Try it again and tell me if it works!

Although, if it doesn't work now I don't really know what's wrong T_T

I would like to know your device specifics, (RAM, model, etc) since it is working on other phones with android 15 so this is getting a bit confusing

That's a bug actually, forgot to place a button to come back from there cause is possible to just press B in the windows version.
Mobile version still need some adjustments haha
You can still see the Gallery CGs at the INN bed.

Just reuploaded another build in patreon that should work fine for most androids, let me know if it works now

does it show any error message?

Edit: in any case I'm working on it, I think I know how to fix it.

Tienes razón y hay muchos ajustes en ese sentido en la siguiente actualización, como reducción de los costes de las cartas o ajustes en enemigos para que tengan menos vida y que entren en estado de stun o charm con mas facilidad, de esta manera he comprobado que las rondas se hacen menos tediosas, mas ágiles y el gameplay es mas entretenido, tambien es mucho mas barato resucitar y los enemigos intentarán interactuar mientras Zymia esta desmayada. Puedes leer sobre estos cambios y otros cuantos más en mi ultimo post de esta página ^^ aunque por el momento solo la gente de patreon puede jugarlo.

gracias por el feedback!

comprensible, suerte amigo

yo también, y aquí andamos, soy de los que creen que se puede disfrutar del sexo lesbico o futanari sin que se cuestione tu sexualidad, especialmente siendo hombre, no? o igual soy otra cosa y no lo se, existen demasiadas etiquetas :/
