When all the lights started breaking my first thought was "Oh no....overtime" (┬┬﹏┬┬) Great job ! Loved the atmosphere and gameplay.
Hey ho, I can't for the life of me run the windows file. I get a crdownload issue and even after fixing it, the game closes after the Godot logo. I am actually sure that it's more a windows thing but maybe a zip-file or something would work better, apparently, windows doesn't like downloading exe files (it's very weird).
Hey, thanks for letting me know. The fact that your browser blocks exe downloads seems to be a fantastic feature from security perspective. Although it seems to get in the way in this case. :/
I had a brief look and I have not found what could cause this. To be able to work on this, I would need the error message. Could you start it from the Powershell. E.g. with
.\duesternis.exeand send me the output?Maybe another download from a different browser/PC might fix it?
I'll see what I can do. Maybe not this week (pretty busy) but once I get back to my PC, I will take some screenshots. I tried Firefox but that got the same result, it's like Windows 10 is doing it, not the browser itself but I will try with a few others, maybe Chrome might do the trick :)
I provided a zip file now. Just to be sure. It is also smaller.
That was so nice! Alas,
The download works now but after the Godot logo, the game just closes. I read how to get some log info and … it’s so complicated, I am not sure I am up to it, so I will mark this as a weird things probably created by Windows 10. (I also read that this is a rare thing that can happen and Windows 10 or 11 seems to always be involved)
(I tried Offshore again, to see if this was a general Godot issue but that game works fine. Maybe it’s some update-stuff. If I have the energy to run the thing in command - which I am not sure I am smart enough to do - I will get back to you via DM :)) So sorry, I feel like this is definitely on me.
Hmpf, what a pity. I would have been interested on your thoughts about the game. :/
My best guess is that your graphics card does not support Vulkan. The only option for me would be to provide an openGL3 version (offshore uses openGL3), but this version would take away a lot of charm, since this game tries to have a more realistic look with volumetric fog.
Out of curiosity, what GPU do you have?
Edit: You could try to enforce it by running
.\duesternis.exe --rendering-driver opengl3, but the experience would be definitely different.Comments below clip:
A brilliantly executed game, where suspense is the engine that drives this horror vehicle from beginning to end. Of course, the ending is heartbreaking, but that reflects the cruelty that life has in store for some.
I didn’t run into any bugs, hiccups or other snags. Kudos to all involved and thanks for making this awesome game.They never just let me do my job ! Either way very spooky, love the atmosphere, definitely enjoyed my time. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work ! :)
Thanks for playing and the kind words! It was really useful to see that the last scene was rendered incorrectly. I’ll push an update! :)
