Looks good, I’d like to try it out but trying to execute the file opens the app but closes it instantly.
Ou.. shoot.. I thought i'd specify that in order to run the game you need to drag&drop the .tqi file from the game folder to the TextQuestInter.exe
Yeah, it is written in the itchio post but not in the docs. However it opens and closes itself in a second. Maybe it’s a porting problem for windows 10?
Hmmm. I'm not really sure what could get wrong, 'cause it's working on my windows 10 machine. Although, if you have an AMD videocard there could be a problem with the shader loading. Could you please check the log file (located in your game folder in the log subfolder), if one was generated. Maybe it will shed some light on this.
Have you tried to open a game created by wizard? Turns out the That the game wizard is not working properly. My bad. Will fix that now
I've fixed the issue and reuploaded project. Project wizard should work now.
