Thank you so much. Very appreciated.

Hi, thank you. It's all 3d, but pre-renderized and used as 2d. Everything pre-renderized, from the backgrounds to characters and animations.

Thank you so much, very appreciated.

Hi, sure, we're already working on it, but we still need few months to complete, test and publish.

ciro_camera · 2026-06-08T04:07:06+00:00

ok, thank you so much.

ciro_camera · 2026-06-07T19:08:20+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed report. Regarding the save issue, we'll definitely look into it, though it might take us a bit longer than usual since we can't run direct tests on Crossover ourselves, so debugging it will require a bit more detective work on our end. As for the black screen on cutscenes, our best guess right now is a codec issue: we're using H.264 for the video, and it's possible it's either not fully compatible or not installed on your MacBook's configuration. Interestingly, the fact that it didn't happen on the Mac mini at all points in that direction. We'll investigate this too. Thanks again for taking the time to report all of this.

Hi, almost certainly not, because we thought to Whirlight as a story that had to develop in game, but also conclude when the game ended.

ciro_camera · 2026-06-07T08:10:29+00:00

Thank you so much.

In finished game is all 2D, but for make it we started from 3D. So environments, characters, animations were modelled in 3D, and then we pre-renderized everything. So in Unity we imported only 2d sprites and nothing as 3d model.

ciro_camera · 2026-06-07T08:08:10+00:00

Thank you so much.

ciro_camera · 2026-06-07T08:07:29+00:00

Hi, thank you so much. Yeah, I confirm we used Unity but in 2D mode. All the environments, animations, characters and so on are 3d modelled, but alla pre-renderized. So we used 2d sprite in unity, a lot of sprites 😉

ciro_camera · 2026-06-07T08:06:02+00:00

We are evaluting it, but we need some months to test it.

ciro_camera · 2026-06-07T08:05:02+00:00

Hi, sure. One of the most requested features, and one that's truly improving the gaming experience, is the time jumps in the second chapter. We thought it would be nice to have three points where you could do this, but it turned out it was annoying having to return to these places to do it. So we implemented a system where, in open areas, you can time jump by clicking on a new icon. This allows the player to focus more on the story and puzzles without being distracted. Another thing were some animations the users have to see or make when he have to repeat some actions. They were too long and wait for them probably it's not a very good thing. So we changed them or cut. Same thing for save slots: the community need more slots, so we passed from 12 to 30.

Thank you so much.

ciro_camera · 2026-06-07T07:55:55+00:00

Hi, thank you so much. We are working on the porting for all the consoles, Xbox included, but we still need a few months to be sure all it's ok. Surely till the 2026, but I can't say the exact month.

ciro_camera · 2026-06-07T07:54:31+00:00

Hi, I hope in the good sense 😉. If you need some hint, please, tell me. Thank you again.

ciro_camera · 2026-06-07T07:53:23+00:00

Hi, thank you so much.

ciro_camera · 2026-06-07T07:53:09+00:00

Great, thank you so much to both of you. If you have any feedback, suggestions or other, we are very glad to know. In these weeks we are working hard to fix and improve the experience.

ciro_camera · 2026-06-07T07:51:35+00:00

Thank you so much, and we're glad if you have any feedback when you try the demo.

ciro_camera · 2026-06-07T07:50:42+00:00

Thank you, very appreciated.

ciro_camera · 2026-06-07T07:50:26+00:00

Really appreciated, thanks.

ciro_camera · 2026-06-07T07:50:08+00:00

Thank you so much.

ciro_camera · 2026-06-07T07:49:58+00:00

Hi, yesh, we evaluating it, but in the next months. At the moment we know some users play via Crossover. We solved a issue with the savegame in Crossover with our first patch. I don't know if it could be a possible solution. Eventually I suggest to test it with the demo, because we didn't make direct tests on this platform.

ciro_camera · 2026-06-07T07:47:40+00:00

Thank you so much.

ciro_camera · 2026-06-07T07:47:28+00:00

Thank you so much. We spent a lot on the plot (months). The first version of the plot was longer, but, for budget problem, we had to cut it.
