FAQ:

Q: Who is developing the game?

A: Even if not verified yet, I'm confident that the game will run fine on Steam Deck in most cases.

Hi ^_^
Mouse input will be added at a later date. When? July 16th 2024? Or later?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask about this, but it seems like there are issues with the button configuration for the switch pro controller. It'll prompt you to press A to select something and B to go back, but the buttons are flipped on the actual controller. Same thing for the X and Y buttons. It seems like it's configured for an Xbox controller instead of the switch controller. I have it set to the switch configuration, but it's still happening. I tested out the demo, and it's configured perfectly fine on there. I don't know if I'm the only one dealing with this, but is that something that can be looked into?

I could not start the game with my Steam Deck. I've been able to play with the protons, but I couldn't get any materials at all, and soon I was stuck...

Oh, that's disappointing. I might give it a go myself as well.

Hello there, suggestion here! I played the demo and was happy to buy this game, but one point is bothering me.

As I mentioned in the official demo feedback before, the character movement gives me headache 'cause of the visual blur.. i really hoped that would be more optimized ingame but sadly i don't see any changes about it.. I weren't the only one who spoke about this in the past so... (Right now i'm at the very beginning of the game 'cause i tried some settings).

I like the idea of giving the option of contrast lines around the character but in white it's just harder to watch her moving around.. maybe change the color to black or some darker color or give the player the option to change the color to their personal preference? (btw i really love the artwork of the game!)

I guess the vision blur effect is from to much movement in the character itselfs so this couldn't be easyly changed, so maybe the individual changeable colorlines are a compromise? I really like it and want to play it without pause it that often :3. But if this isn't an option i guess i will deal with it :D.

How much meat or fish cooking is in the game? (I generally avoid cooking games, as I don't want to deal with animal-derived ingredients, but this one doesn't really seem to feature any based on the screenshots 🤔)

Hi I've been playing the game for a little bit and so far so good. My issue is that I got stuck on a ledge and can't move to get out. Will there be any "unstuck" button in the future?

It's funny you ask.. there is no meat or fish in this game.. you cook with: fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers, mushrooms, crops and nuts.. I didn't even know games like this existed, but I was pleasantly surprised

Do you mean the slight screen shake when you move? Because I hate that as well.

Could be. Dunno what exactly it is, whatever it is - that the blurry/shaking effect is difficult for me.

Thank you very much for implementing customisable controls from the start.
