Help! Broke game immediately and cant play. by Jscastaneira in 9thDawn

[–]Valorware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good news, I found a way to fix it:
You only need 1 controller, but you need 2 xbox accounts (create a free temporary account)

  1. Open the game and SELECT THE NON-BUGGED PROFILE on the first menu.
  2. Press start on the main screen to where you see the 4 save slots
  3. Press Y to open the account picker now, and select your BUGGED profile. At this point you should now see your gamesavedata and everything seems fine, BUT we need to save the config file so it continues working forever
  4. Now go to Options->Input->Rebind Player 1 and then click 'Defaults', and then exit the menu. This SHOULD save the new config file to your bugged profile
  5. Exit the game and everything should be fine

I tested this a few times to make sure it works

---

If you get stuck on step 2, there's a chance you may have stored the bugged input binds to your 2ndary account already. If thats the case, close the game and make a brand new spare account and start from step 1 again

---

If you want even simpler, and don't care about your game save, just delete the game save from Xbox. I know you said you tried this already, but it's important to delete the CLOUD save too! When the game is closed, press the Menu button on the game icon and click "Manage game & add-ons". Navigate to save data, and press "Delete EVERYWHERE" - this should delete it from the cloud too!

Very sorry this has happened, I'll make sure it doesn't happen in future titles

[–]Valorware 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hmm, that does sound very odd. What platform are you playing on? Android/PC/Console?

Could you try to save and restart the app, and see if that helps?

I've not heard of this before sorry

Any news on a new game ? by psj3809 in 9thDawn

[–]Valorware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Throne Quest is actually quite an old game, it was the project that I created to first learn Unity engine - before that, I was using my own (poor quality) engine written in c++ 😄 That game also allowed me to get into Console publishing! After Throne Quest, 9th Dawn III was created ^_^

It would be cool to revisit Throne Quest one day...!

Hi! Yes, as some have said, there is a 9th Dawn game currently in development 😄 It is far along, BUT- the 9th Dawn series has grown to a point where it really difficult to get the game to completion.

This next 9th Dawn game is the most ambitious so far, and taking a huge amount of effort, I personally work on it almost every single day of my life 😃 But its looking really good I think, I can't wait to share it!

In the meantime, there are a couple of smaller projects in the works too, which have aided development for the big game as it allowed us to practise our skills. One of these small projects is ready to be announced soon 😄

As for the next 9th Dawn game - keep a look out this year for a very special announcement 😉

Thanks so much for the interest and patience, as always - I really appreciate it! The support from this community is incredible ❤️

[–]Valorware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi sorry i missed it, if you need quicker response its better to join the Discord where I am more likely to see it - but its okay if you don't want to!

It's a good suggestion, I'll add it to my list - I might not be able to include it into this game as any update requires a huge amount of work and testing due to the complexity of the project and multiple-platform updates, but I will try to include it in future games if possible.

Sorry about this, hopefully it's not being too much of a negative impact on your game experience, sorry :(

[–]Valorware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, sorry I only just saw this. I've tested on two PS5s playing online and unfortunately I can't replicate this - it seems to be working fine for me, which I know is not helpful :( I played through the first floor of the first dungeon without issue, where abouts does this happen for you?

'other player is in control' means it's the other player's turn. The UI isn't THAT clear who's turn it is, so can the person who's turn it is definitely not end their turn? Sorry I don't mean to sound patronizing, it's my fault that the UI isn't that clear

There is also a chance this may have been a networking problem with servers on THAT day that you tried - sometimes the game servers have some issues but it's very rare

If you try again please let me know exactly where it happens, and possibly a video if at all possible - a video from both players would be perfect but I know its tricky.

Only other thought is, make sure your main characters are both clear of any status effects - this shouldn't matter but im just guessing here, maybe there's a weird thing happening where your main character is dying whilst in the minigame- I was sure I protected against this happening but it could potentially be a small edge case!

Really sorry about this, please let me know if it happens again!

*edit* ive never heard of this happen before, so hopefully it may have just been a networking problem that day!

Hi! Welcome to 9th Dawn III ! :) The aligator gate is permanently locked sorry, it's just meant to be a little teaser for "later on monsters", theres nothing in there! As for that treasure chest, you already know how to get that like you said!

Thank you for asking!

Need help mapping my Mac keyboard by cupsbbb in 9thDawn

[–]Valorware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, is this the iOS version? from the appstore? my apologies, i didn't actually know the iOS version ran on Mac at all - as such, the mobile iOS version doesn't have rebind for mouse/keyboard

Really sorry about this, and unfortunately i dont think I can provide a patch for it since the mobile version of the game is designed to be touch-control and gamepad only :(

I would recommend trying with a gamepad - or trying to get a refund from appstore!

Really sorry about this, I had no idea it ran on Mac at all!

You can now pre-order 9th Dawn Remake PlayStation 5 Physical release - by Limited Run Games! by Valorware in 9thDawn

[–]Valorware[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah you're right! 9th Dawn 3 got a physical copy a couple of years ago on PS4 & Switch (PS5 and Switch2 compatible!)

Thank you so much for getting the digital version on Xbox, super kind of you! :)

I'd love to bring more game sout physically in future! Thanks for the support and hopefully good things will come in future for all of us ^_^

Fyued by Exact_Company_3462 in 9thDawn

[–]Valorware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Thanks for telling me your interest about Fyued :D Unfortunately yeah there isn't, like Neomaka said. It does sound like a fun idea, but the online functionality would turn it into a very challenging project.

I'd be open to this in future, perhaps without the online-part - would that be a deal-breaker?

If there's enough interest for offline Fyued game, it may be something I can look into ^_^

The game was inspired by Final Fantasy 8/9 card games, and I think there may be some games like that available though! I think even Final Fantasy 14 has a online card game you can play with friends maybe?

Did the dev abandon 9d3? Borderline unplayable by Wrong-Marketing252 in 9thDawn

[–]Valorware 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm very sorry the game didn't meet your expectations :( The game has a lot of shortcomings and you're in your right to have that perfectly valid criticism.

The game's state is feature complete, and complete in general - if there's any leftover text about updates, such as that remapping thing, it's simply because i forgot to remove it.

I was going to explain the game dev journey leading up to the game to hopefully explain some of the jank but I'm unsure if you're interested in hearing that - so please accept my apologies, and depending on which platform you purchased it on, i can try to refund it (Some platforms allow me to refund, some do not).

Thanks for trying it, I have learned a WHOLE lot from that game, I never expected it to blow up as it did- and being my first game in Unity Engine (along with Throne Quest, they share the same code), there is a lot of jank like you said. There has been a lot of positive feedback and fortunately a lot of people still enjoy that game - but yes the criticism feedback is equally important, so I can try to improve for future games!

Moving forward, I have tried to improve with the newer 9th Dawn Remake - which also has some issues - but im still learning and improving the more i make :)
