I really want to play out this game but twice now it has crashed just a few minutes into the game. I'm running it on windows 8.
Hi, thanks for your feedback! I'm still working on a big update for the game, but unfortunately it's very sporadic. I'll let you know as soon as it's rolled out.
Sorry for the mess :(
Cool, I'm looking forward to it. Neat game by the way.
Downloaded it but got prompted to update to 1.12 which gave me an error.
Looks good though I really want to try it
Hi, sorry for the silence - missed the email notification... I uploaded build 1.1.2 to Itch.io.
Please let me know if you still get the issue.
What kind of error did you get after being prompted to download the latest version? Do you have a screenshot by any chance?
You can contact me at dtishin@gmail.com or Skype (dtishin) for support, it'll be quicker as I check these channels a few times a day.
Thanks for your understanding!
Started up just fine now, thank you!
You're welcome!
I'm working on a big AI / combat features update, so don't take the current combat logic too seriously :)
