Trying to play the game and it's stuck on the loading screen :( Does anyone know how to fix this?
Hey! This shouldn't happen! What are your specs?
My laptop's operating system is Windows 11, processor is AMD Ryzen 7 5800H with Radeon Graphics, and 8 GB of RAM.
Sorry if this doesn't sound right because I never typed about specs on a computer before. I also did figure out how to play on the steam deck so it's definitely my laptop that has the issue.
loved playing this, the combat is good, the synergizing of different troops was very fun and rewarding.
The only real critique I have is that the UI is very visually busy. It's beautiful, but any time I was operating a menu (like the Academy or even the settings) I was just rushing to get out of there asap. I was clicking the upper right corner of the windows thinking its an exit button. I think even just a little tweaking in the contrasts of elements could fix this.
The stamina system is interesting but I feel like they should also recover health if a unit doesn't go on a expedition.
Gameplay loop is still solid and I love the dialogue and noble family system.
Thanks for the feedback and totally get you! One of the goals with the Stat system is also to allow characters to progress for longer, pretty early in the demo last time it felt like characters where plateu'ing which obviously would be rough for a longer campaign.
Healing when you rest is not a bad idea! Will definitely think about it ^^ Potentially it could be unlocked or upgraded through the relations!

Wow, this looks awesome! You can totally see the love they put into it
Thank you so much for the kind words! <3
Full of potential, keep it up
I promise we will!
Hej, den är utvecklad i Sverige! Jag såg ditt videospelscenter gå förbi. Svensk kvalitet!
The battle mechanics are so fun and I am LOVING the music. My bloodline is devestated.
Huge fan of the art style and I like the dice rolling fighting style. Wish listed it on steam, and plan on buying it when it releases!!
Cool looking game!
I don't like being forced to marry a specific gender... I'd rather choose myself....
Well, marry whomever you want? What is stopping you?
The fact that I'm only given two options to chooce from?
Some of us get even less. Be happy with what you're offered.
What the hell do you mean? In-game there are two options given at the start of the game. The more you play the more options you get. The is no point where you get only one option. And tbh the problem could easily be fixed by giving the possibility of customizing the spouse once selected. The abillities should stay the same but the cosmetics should definitly be customisable.
Hey I'm pretty sure you can actually customize them both
Maybe they'll add more options in the full game? But thanks for making this comment, I wasn't aware that was a limitation in the demo until I read this ah
I loved it, really fun, highly recommend.
In academy, if I click (instead of drag) character, the character will stuck on my mouse.
EDIT: and it seems causing memory? leakage. After I click it and back several times everything is stuck and i can do nothing but alt-f4.
Thanks! In the latest build both of these issues should be fixed :)
Peak we say in unison
Peak
Wonderful game, hope I can enjoy it on steam! <3
peak game
Wonderful game. Love the Italian-based setting/music and the dice mechanics.
Is it planned to release the full game here or just on Steam?
We don't have any set plans right now but we would love to release on itch!
it’s beautiful
The game looks so good! I'm really excited for the relase! Will it support Linux as well?
Hey! I wasn't planning on making a linux build seeing as Proton seems to handle everything well; is there a reason why Proton wouldn't be viable in your case?
Thank you for your reply and sorry for my late one. I'm sorry but I don't know what exactly is Proton and if it works or not in my case, but if you didn't planned on making it a linux build, then don't worry ❤️
I just discovered this thanks to you guys, it seems that Proton is a compatibility layer based on Wine, used by Steam to get windows games to work on Linux based systems, it's developed by Valve. wikipedia article.
Simple Proton setup: Install Lutris or Steam, add the game to Lutris/as non-steam game, launch it through Lutris/Steam. The launcher should handle it for you!
(you can choose either Lutris or Steam, your preference)
Hi, sorry to chime in!
It's very difficult to run Itch Windows game on Steam Deck; Steam just quits and doesn't run it, and Lutris just won't find the existing files it's pointed to.
I did the same procedure I did for other Itch games and while it works well on my Linux Mint desktop, it won't on my Steam Deck.
Maybe it's the ARM CPU, maybe it's Arch Linux, but it's difficult to get them to run.
Could you maybe consider a Linux build?
Hey hey, this game looks really great and I can't wait to play it. I do have a question however, will the game's final release be only on steam or will it be on other digital marketplaces?
We hope to bring it to itch as well, but nothing is set in stone right now!
I have completed the game as knight but when i had tried inquisitor after a few tries in knight and completing but i had not been able to complete it once in inquisitor
I only saw the YouTube video and I already know I will play it lmao
NGL the in game art style give me Hades vibes and, at least in my opinion, that is awesome lmaoo. Oh well, new game to obsessed to I guess xD
Thank you so much! ngl we are all HUGE Supergiant fans - deeply honored to be compared <3
This look good omg 😭😭🙏🙏
Full of potential, love the family system (and how quickly it was introduced, damn!), and I can't wait to play more.
Not for the Demo unfortunately! Hopefully for the full release!
The music and style reminds me of Persona 5, game is fun.
This game qute interesting, good luck who reading this massage
Thank you so much <3 And you too in whatever it is you do :)
(One of the devs)
I got a screen that said "reactor exploded return to main menu", but when I click the button to return to the main menu that screen just pops up again. I deleted and reinstalled the game and it still happens right when I start up the game for some reason.
Thanks for the report! We'll take a look at it!
I've now found and fixed it, the fix will be in for the next build(wednesday)! Sorry you had it happen, but thanks for telling us!
Game looks incredible!
pretty cool, what engine is that ?
It's made in Unity :)
thanks ! how many of you are working on it ?
We are currently 3 people developing the game. Discounting a audio person and musician whom are helping us.
We were 5 at one point, so it has been fluctuating :)
Very polished, with a very intriguing premise!
Thank you! <3 :)
Pretty good demo reminds me of Xcom
Thank you! - Xcom is certainly a big inspiration for us <3
