Thank you so much for your patience and we are terribly sorry for the inconvenience we have caused. You can find a hotfix file(952kb) in the first post that resolves the music and text slider issues as well as severing the outside server connections. A complete version not needing the hotfix will be provided in the upcoming hours. Please write down any issues you encounter and we'll try our best to fix them quickly.

Not sure I would play this game with out some type of firewall that blocks this game from connecting to the interne
A software like Windows Firewall Control easily blocks any external connections this game tries to establish. Doesnt seem like a huge issue
Yes I use that program that is how I knew this game was trying to connect to the internet and I was able to block it.

What the dev should do is to make it an option where he asks you if you are ok if they collect data about your choices that way I can opt into or out of it of my own free will

WTH ...

(edited)

Your first try was pretty much a step into a huge pile of :poop: - but good to see your changes.
The original post was a bit more :poop: from my side ... maybe I was one of the ones who got paranoid (because reasons^^) ;)

WTH ... just tried to play this "good" looking game and at start I got a notification from my firewall asking me if I allow this game to connect to someone/something whatever over internet!!! :devilish:(n)
Is this what you try as (Quote:) "to act as a technology demo" ???
For what in hell you could need an internet connection for such type of a game ... seriously??

So, if you (other players) wanna try out this "to act as a technology demo" game thing ... be aware it will try to connect to the internet to do something I´m sure you wouldnt/shouldnt agree to.

I instantly deleted everthing and I´m not gonna try anything else from this dev ! It´s imo to fishy :poop:
We are terribly sorry to offend you this much without it being our intention however we have disabled the data collection script as well as severed all outgoing connections with the hotfix we've provided a couple of minutes ago. We have explained our intentions with the data collection script a couple of messages ago. We are sorry to lose you though. I hope we can gain your trust in the future.

This is the scan result of the hotfix we have just shared from virustotal. We all know some anti-virus/malware products can be overzealous when it comes indie stuff. We are scanning every file to find out what has been causing the issue.

Can someone post the hotfix elsewhere? My antivirus will not let me use the current link

you can use this link for the hotfix however all the main game links have been suspended for further investigation. We can assure you the game files are clean on our end and scanned multiple times before the upload process. You can check the virustotal results before downloading the hotfix.

The problem is that anonfiles is a blocked domain for me, I can't use the link. Mega always works tho.

-Fix for the Music Slider
-Fix for the Text Speed Slider

Every script page has been purged from start to finish multiple times. We are really sorry. New links will be provided soon.

Thank you for taking our concerns serious. This is looking like a very promising game and it would be a shame to get wasted by (false) positive virus warnings
