Good evening! This took a lot longer than expected, because I got distracted by a lot of other things, but now it is done. Instead of showing you any more updates about the tutorial, you can just play it yourself instead! :D The game moved to its new location (and new name) and you can download the new demo including the tutorial and first location (previous tutorial) here: https://scanix.itch.io/mournway-mansion I'm looking forward to hearing your complaints! ^_^ |

Well, I could complain that you're not supporting Linux but that would be mean. Plus I can dual-boot. But it will have to wait until after work today either way  Anyway, congrats on reaching the next milestone!  |

Thank you!  Well, I could upload a Linux version, but I cannot test it. Will check after work today. |

It's really good to see an update from this! And better yet, a demo! ^_^
I'll second the mourning of a lack of a Linux version, but I have it downloading, to hopefully be played when I get around to dual-booting into Windows! (Which may take a little time, in all fairness.) Still, I'm enthused to try it! ^_^

Hey, thank you everyone! :] I have added a linux version now. I am still distracted by other stuff, but I also hope that I will have something interesting to show soon. |

There seems to be an issue with how the Linux mode captures the mouse on my laptop - it think the bounding box is shifted halfway down the screen (I can't even click some of the buttons). I'll try the demo on Windows later |

I was just making my way through your DevLog and was so impressed the moment I saw your clothes hanger video!
Very very cool.

You know what I just did? I rebooted into Windows, just for you ScanX. The demo is fun!
The game console doesn't let me play or exit the built-in minigame though, it seems to be bugged
edit: also, the title reveal was siiiick

Oh, excellent! Thank you for that--I'm re-downloading as I write this! ^_^ I am still distracted by other stuff, but I also hope that I will have something interesting to show soon. That's fair! I'm interested to see what interesting thing you have in mind to present! ^_^ |

Hey ScaniX, I just wanted to drop a few lines after playing your demo, in case you are interested. The game has a unique atmosphere! I am a bit torn if I like that the tutorial takes place in the dream space, because I liked the bedroom scene so much more. One thing that confused me was that the gap where you teach the player to pull out elements to cross a gap also had the instructional text on how to jump. I tried to make the jump a dozen times and thought I could make it, but maybe I am just a slow learner The transition between the dream world and the bedroom was done nicely! The pushing and pulling interactions feel good and it was fun to explore the bedroom piece by piece and solve the puzzle to leave the room. As a side node, I had a similar problem like JobLeonard. When I tried to play the hand-held console game, I started the game and got only the background, nothing else. I could hear that me pressing buttons did something (sound of a space shooter?) but I could not see anything or leave the game. I had to ALt-F4 the whole game to get out. EDIT: I played the win64 version. |

Sorry for the late reply!  Thank you very much for testing it although it meant trouble for you! And thanks for the bug report. No one else tried to play the gameslate in the videos that I saw, so I did not notice it. XD About the linux version: Unfortunately I cannot test it at the moment and the capturing stuff is something unity is doing. I don't know if I can easily interfer with it. |

EDIT: I played the win64 version. Thanks a lot for the valuable feedback! I guess the gameslate thing is broken and I just forgot to test it after changing around a lot of things. About the tutorial: The kids bedroom was the old tutorial, but the advantage of the new tutorial is that it limits the freedom a lot, so there is no distraction or a risk of getting lost. You just learn one thing to get one step further. I think it does a good job there. I would agree that the look and feel of the "real world" is nicer in comparison, though. About the jump gap with the drawer: Thanks for the info! I should probably hide the hint for jumping until you pulled out the drawer. PS: I did play the demo of your game, too. But I wanted to continue a bit more before posting something in your devlog. Until now I died once, killed some and picked up weird stuff. ^^ I found the mechanism of throwing potions weirdly enjoyable. :D |

I could try starting it from the command line and seeing if it spits out anything interesting (or if you add a debug build with logging I can run that and send you the logs) |

It should already create a log somewhere. Fixing bugs using a log output is a start, but super troublesome. Might need to get a linux machine running sooner or later. Will come back to this issue at a later time. :D The GameSlate is fixed already. I'm uploading new versions now. Thanks for reporting this! |

Alas, I haven't managed to get the Linux version to work at all thus far. However, I am still on an older version, so at time of writing I've downloaded the updated version, in the hopes that the problem is there resolved.
(I think that I tried running it from the terminal, but found no useful output. Does your game perhaps produce a log somewhere...?)

It's a standard Linux 64bit build of Unity. Logs should be at "~/.config/unity3d/CompanyName/ProductName/Player.log".
I cannot do very much to influence the build (other than selecting 64 bit or if it's a dev build or not).
After the game really starts, then I can try to fix stuff that is different on Mac etc. like shader transparencies etc.
