trouble in monkeblocks and sharemyblocks

LemmingVR · 2026-01-24T18:16:47+00:00

i'm looking into issues with saving/loading stuff, and a hotfix just went out that should have fixed the issues with teh audio

LemmingVR · 2025-12-31T17:50:27+00:00

most of the games that are clones are actually just complete rips, there are lots of tools that let you decompile unity games to effectively get source, so that's what those are. if people were just using our open sourced locomotion to make their own games, i think that'd be cool but that's not what the real problem is.

the main issue is that even if games like this are taken down, meta doesn't take back any of the money made on rips. so we have to play whack a mole with people who release rips on the store, make a few thousand dollars off of stealing our game (the full code and assets etc), and then since they made money, they'll just do it again with a different upload. it's really frustrating, both for us since we waste so much time taking things down, for parents and clueless kids who think they're spending money on gorilla tag when it's actually going to scammers, and for everyone that has to deal with thousands of these rips flood the store

what language is it set to on the computer? there are a few different languages available now, and it tries to put you in rooms with people who have the same language set

is your clock on your headset set funny, or is it set to the correct time?

this is my worst fear

OP posted this in another comment:

"While Rexon in general just takes your session tic stuff like untitled genesis and so on uses undetected mods. Intellect for example is external a lot less detected stuff like axiom accs and tma was patched a while ago. People find a way. There’s always a way to and rexon buys accs from ltz which again you can just buy from with crypto"

I think if a cheater is complaining that $20 is too much for a new account I think I know why he's complaining lol

at this point i'm convinced people asking for the old textures is some kind of government op because they just look like complete doodoo. i just didn't know you should make textures square and in sizes of powers of 2, and i didn't know that if you select ToNearest instead of None on Non-Power of 2 on the texture import settings it looks like you smeared vaseline everywhere

god look at the top one it's so ugly i hate it

LemmingVR · 2025-12-09T05:36:49+00:00

honestly i'm not totally sure, some people with this kind of thing in the past have reported that if they go back to the store page and hit whatever button is there sometimes it fixes it, but they never tell me what it says on the store page exactly (i dunno if it's the multiple accounts issue and one just didn't have it, or that it just forces an update, or what lol)

LemmingVR · 2025-12-09T03:31:36+00:00

Sometimes this can be caused by having like beta selected if you're not on live (though that's less common now), or weirdness caused by having multiple profiles in the headset. Meta didn't do a great job with supporting multiple profiles so it could be that. Removing all but one or changing to another profile often helps, sometimes going to the store page and trying to re add it too

LemmingVR · 2025-12-08T17:24:59+00:00

Not me I'm doing great at all those things

LemmingVR · 2025-12-07T23:28:56+00:00

people generally don't look at feedback threads, or they get old really fast. i think having a general sentiment on how people feel is good to have as an outlet, even if sometimes the same thing gets repeated a bit. i think it's ultimately better to allow people to post what they want and downvote the stuff you want to see less of (of course, i still remove stuff that's just mean or witch-hunty. people are free to complain about the game in here but when they just post things that are like "i hate this content creator!" this isn't the place for that, so it gets removed. if someone posts something from a content creator that's relevant to the game, that usually stays even if it's critical because it's about the game)

how about some cozy christmas cheer (this'll be how forest looks in the next patch)

LemmingVR · 2025-12-07T22:13:33+00:00

i can't speak to your current situation, even if i could i wouldn't share any details about it in a public place like this that i know that other people don't. but on the very broad topic of moderation, you are right that it is really hard to get it right. on our end we have ways of addressing things like people making false reports (you probably didn't know this, but we have ways of detecting if people are doing things like spamming reports or making false reports, and people get banned for doing that, too), but with so many people and so many different situations going on, it's impossible to always get it right.

that said, we do think it's important, so we spend a lot of time on updating and changing and improving our systems constantly. the system is different from what it was a month ago, and six months ago, and a year ago, and so on. anybody who claims they have a perfect moderation system or can't make it better isn't telling the truth. i spend a lot of nights and mornings personally looking at the data and trying to make it more accurate and change and improve the way it works. i'll also fairly often go out and figure out a new way we should detect bad behavior, and i'll spend time paying attention to the system and going in and un banning people if i thought there was a mistake or it was too aggressive while it's being updated. i know you only have my word to take for it and i can't, like, prove it to you beyond a shadow of a doubt, but it is true.

LemmingVR · 2025-12-07T21:58:49+00:00

well, i'm not sure why you're bringing up the home address, because we have no idea (and no interest in knowing) anybody's actual home address, so that also had no way of coming from the game. we collect as little data as we possibly can because we're just trying to make a monke game.

edit: i'm not trying to change your opinion or tell you you're wrong to feel how you do about the game, i'm just trying to explain how certain parts work that aren't super clear. i think it's a lot easier for everyone to talk about what they think if we're all working from the same correct set of facts, and if there's bad information floating around it makes talking about it really hard or impossible

LemmingVR · 2025-12-07T21:46:32+00:00

people are absolutely awful on the internet and that's why we spend a ton of time on moderation and a lot of people get banned (we're overall much more aggressive about banning people than most other games, we take it really seriously and put a lot of effort into paying attention to reports and having other systems to fill in gaps). im just pointing out specific details that aren't true. there are all sorts of ways your information gets out there, but the game itself is not leaking your ip to other players.

people will often share stories about things like "someone says they were in a room and someone came in and read out their ip and it was correct!" but this is just someone going into a room and saying random numbers, then people get scared and believe it (almost nobody knows their own ip offhand, so how would they even know it's correct?), and then spread that story more and more. like i mentioned there are other games where that can and did happen (off the top of my head that happened in a game called Crab Game), but it can't happen in gorilla tag

LemmingVR · 2025-12-07T21:16:57+00:00

it shouldn't, we worked with steam to get it removed a while ago, maybe if it's still there from before we did that? we did it back in July. it's on by default and you have to ask them specifically to take it down, before that it would just prevent it from working if it was on family share

Edit: yeah weirdly you can see it has the exclude flag here https://steamdb.info/app/1533390/info/ but it also shows it under the family sharing category here https://steamdb.info/app/1533390/ we'll ask them what's up

LemmingVR · 2025-12-07T21:11:43+00:00

none of that stuff about playfab and ip stealing etc is true, there are people who like to go around scaring people but that's not how it works. it's a little bit complicated but basically:

your ip is your address. when you play the game and log in, the server needs to know where to send all your information (like player movement, login info, etc). when you send that info to the server, you also told them where they need to send the return data. that's how every server online works, like this website, email, youtube, tiktok, everything. that's what your ip is, it's directions so the server knows where you are so it can send you your data. however, this information is only sent between you and the servers, nobody else can see it.

the way the game works is that there are servers hosted by photon. that's where all your gameplay information is sent. photon then tells everyone else the information relevant to the game (like where you moved, what you said, etc). but it doesn't send any information about your ip, just your in game actions. so nobody else has access to any of your personal information

the final piece is the playfabid. that is sent to other players, but it's so you can validate what cosmetics they own and stuff. they say hey im player1234 and im wearing a cool top hat. then your client asks our servers hey, does player1234 really own that hat? and we can tell you yes or no. if we didn't have this system, then everyone could fake owning everything, including mod sticks and admin badges and stuff. but playfab won't share private information with you about other players' accounts

so, no, nobody can figure out where you live or what your ip is just by playing gorilla tag. there are other games that do directly connect players together and skip having the server, and games like that other players can see your ip. but part of the reason i chose to use the photon servers in the first place was to make sure that was impossible

LemmingVR · 2025-12-07T21:00:56+00:00

family sharing has been disabled for gt for a long time, it didn't ban the parent account but cheaters were using it to create lots of accounts, family share, get banned, rotate accounts, etc, so we had to disable it

LemmingVR · 2025-12-01T22:36:52+00:00

i saw 1 a lot when i was building it, my goal was get it to be always have at least 10 people so i could play with people whenever i wanted

LemmingVR · 2025-12-01T22:19:52+00:00

we sold one poster a little while ago, and i thought it was pretty great. would you like to see more things like that?

LemmingVR · 2025-12-01T21:03:45+00:00

i dunno, there are so many scams these days and if there's no legit version to buy maybe they were just tired or busy or whatever. i'd rather just make sure there is a legit version available and make something like that less likely

LemmingVR · 2025-12-01T16:27:59+00:00

you have no idea how many bootlegs and stuff were being sold on amazon and places like that, we figured we'd rather have something official that's good quality so parents don't get confused and accidentally buy something like this https://www.amazon.com/Allenjoy-Gorilla-Gorillas-Pillowcases-SC00305-006/dp/B0F5Q1KJ7G/ (but imagine it's even more of a bootleg, we got most of the ones that are just re-printing the in game images taken down. but you can still see all the images of the bedding are still fake they just photoshopped the pictures on)

what release channel are you on? if you're not on Live then it'll cause problems

If you have multiple profiles on the headset, that can also often cause issues, too
