He might as well be "aboned"... after long waited release he didn't rise at all in number of supporters, which means that this game in without much prospect... all the talk about full time development is just pipe dream, because this game is just average game which didn't get much traction...
Just means the supporters are dedicated, and not flakes who only come in when there is a new update.

Maybe in some ways, but it others, it is quite a bit above the pack.

It is a common problem, not only here but in many crowd funded art projects, that some "stars" get the hype and loads of funds (which they may well deserve) while many worthy projects keep sailing under the radar.

I've always said I'd rather than a handful of loyal, high quality patrons than a bunch of fly by night johns who only pledge long enough to get the latest release. Personally I think my patrons are the best. A HUGE number of them stuck with me during the long hiatus last summer. But that's also because I could show my work and never led them on with empty promises and bullshit.

I like to think that if this last release was such a huge disappointment to my patrons I would have lost a lot more. But no, instead I gained.

Anyone who has been around knows that I try my best to do right by my patrons. Any who says otherwise doesn't know their ass from their elbow. (Which might by why numb nuts keeps coming in here with a dildo tucked under his armpit.)

I take full responsibility for the game's lack of rapid growth. It went through production hell for a number of years as the team changed and I was learning new skill sets and streamlining things.

But I have faith in the quality of my game and I know in due time it'll see it's time in the sun. I have been relentless in continuing this project from day one and I remain dauntless even now.

Despite what others....well despite what one moron is saying, this last release was a huge success for me and I plan for it to be one of many more to come.

Salute mate!

All things said, considering your situation, you can't really say it was entirely your fault either. Some of those programs have a high learning curve if you want to make something that looks good, and you seem to be mastering them well.

More power to you, Buddy. You just keep improving, I hope I can say the same in a year.

Help please

Hey guys am I the only one getting this problem and is there an easy way to fix it ??

All my text is in white and on a predominantly white/light background that effectively means I struggle at best to read the dialogue/information.

Not going to lie but this one baffles me. The text shows up black in my version and the version I downloaded. Are you on Mac or PC? (just trying to narrow down to the specifics so that I can try and help.)

Please, unless there is a txt traceback available, do post as many details as possible in order to make things easier for those who might help you (game setup, os, mods used or not etc), otherwise it is just a waste of valuable time (here even worse as it is devs time). In this case are you using mods with your game, as those are typical symptoms id say?

He is most probably just using text-mod from the older version, hence those problems.

I almost wonder if people who get that are using the transparent textbox from penfoldmole and it's conflicting.

Appreciate the assist because I have no clue what is going on with his copy. :confused:

Fortunately that shouldn't be required going forward. I've included an opacity slider for future versions.
I'm also working on a selection of four of five colors to go next to it so players can fine tune the text box to their preferences.

Perhaps the issue might be related to open gl 2.0 and really old systems not supporting it

For now they need to be loaded seperately and have different content. Story wise 2.0.0 happens directly after 1.1.5, so play the latter until the end, and you can (roughly, but adequate for now) carry over your decisions into 2.0.0.

Reason for the separation is that the game shall be running on a better framework in the future, which is what 2.0.0 is on, while the old content will be updated and merged back into the new stuff.

Hold Shift instantly after starting the game or Hold Shift+ Letter O while the game is running. these options will show up, Try any other Renderer and it should fix it.

Spot on

I went back and checked and yes I had used the text mod - Deleted everything and re-extracted and BINGO Black Text.

In my defence when I looked at the Zip file it is called "789622_DAST001-v1.1.5-pc-GUI-MOD-v2" so I mistakenly took the "Mod-v2" to mean it also applied to the current version.

My apologies if I have waisted peoples time - (Perhaps Penfoldmole should edit the textbox file name to remove the Mod-v2) and at least if anyone else experiences this problem the solution is to hand.

My thanks to everyone for your help. Love the supportive nature of this community. And thanks RomanHume for a great game

Cheers
