Thanks so much to everyone who’s bought the game since launch! The response has been overwhelming.
To address a few bugs, v1.0.1 is now live! The game should update automatically soon for Steam players, while itch players can return to the store page to download the new version.
Do the politics and ludonarritive dissonance sliders actually do anything and if so, what. I don't want to touch the LND slider before knowing what it changes and I couldn't find anything anywhere about it.

Adjusting those values DOES do something: it makes those numbers different in the options menu. It also moves the sliders left and right!
Different anon; I can confirm that the Steam Deck only has issues with any of the portions of the game, or settings menus, that are accessed by the function keys. This purely is an issue with the Deck's keybindings and the trackpad mouse emulation not functioning in the game for most controller layout selections. Proton basically runs the game perfectly outside of a few frame rate hitches when you press a button during dialogue.

This seems to line up with what we heard during the beta! Wonky to set up due to not being built for a handheld, but the only big thing that’s been reported is some odd hitches during dialogue. Disabling the text sound effect and/or setting the text speed to instant from the in-game options menu should help with that
There may be some more Proton- and/or Steam Deck-specific bugs or crashes in there somewhere, but we only had one person testing on a Steam Deck, so it’s hard to say. (And, again, SLARPG is NOT Steam Deck verified and we cannot offer support for Steam Deck-specific issues. Sorry! We’re only officially selling it as a Windows game for a reason. I was shocked that it even runs.)
Unless I'm missing something, I think getting bestiary entries is a little bugged somehow - I've battled the tombstone drone multiple times, but it just won't give me the entry for it after the battle for some reason. (and if it's not a bug, I'm just missing something, I think it needs to be made more clear what's happening)

That’s just a matter of bad RNG, sorry! Almost every regular enemy in the game has a 50% chance of dropping its Bestiary entry on defeat, including that one.
Do you have any bug report channels? I have the game running on the Steam Deck, but it has weird jank like running at a weird shrunken size, and needing a keyboard to plug in to change that. Also, needing a usb hub with keyboard and mouse plugged in to get to the key bindings menu.

We’re kind of just taking bug reports wherever, but also we can’t offer any support for Steam Deck-specific issues, sorry. The game doesn’t officially support the Steam Deck (again - decade-old RPG Maker engine) and we have no way to test it on that since we don’t own one. It’s quite frankly a miracle Proton lets the Windows build run at all
hi ive bought this game as soon as i could, the soundtrack is SO fucking insane and i hope to jesus that you put the ost on youtube and like. the Rest of it on bandcamp because My God that dungeon theme. incredible work

Yes, we’ll be putting the soundtrack up on Bee’s Bandcamp as well as Steam (and possibly elsewhere - TBD) in January. We hoped it would be ready alongside the game, but we needed the extra time to sort the soundtrack release out
I don't know if this has been asked already, but does it benefit y'all more when people purchase the game through Steam, or through itch.io? I'd just like to support the game as much as possible
So I'm encountering an unfortunate problem where the game doesn't seem to be reading my PS4 controller. Near as I can tell I have all of my controller inputs and settings right, so I'd thought that even if it's only set to take xbox or something, steam would still function as a middle man for me. But, nothing.
Unfortunately I can’t guarantee support for PS4 (or Switch) controllers due to the game being made in a decade-old version of RPG Maker that predates those controllers existing and becoming standardized for PC use. The number of Steam features (such as controller support) I’m able to integrate into the game is also extremely limited because of this
If you don’t mind using an extra step, however, you can use a simple key remapper program like JoyToKey to map the keyboard controls to whatever buttons you want on pretty much any controller in existence
Will the game have achievements? I’d love to be able to 100% it and show it in my steam page section of games I’ve fully completed
Not at launch, unfortunately! I wanted to include them (there is, shockingly, a script for it for RPG Maker VX Ace) but things came down to the wire prior to launch and I didn’t have time to add them
Since Valve locks certain features for first time devs to prevent flooding the item marketplace, I may go back and add Steam achievements in a future update if and when we gain access to things like trading cards and whatnot. No promises, but it’s possible, provided that script actually works
