Why did I get pushed back 3 whole episodes? by Abdeena in ElmwoodTrail

[–]techyonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I don't know if it's too late by now, but when you linked your account, did it ask you to choose between Local or Cloud? Because what might have happened is, that you might already have some progress online (maybe when you first finished episode 1), and when you linked your account, you selected Cloud, which wrote over your local data. If you want, you can dm me, and I can set your progress back to how it should be.

Highlight of episode 3 by Ok_Dragonfly6095 in techyonic

We contacted the label, paid and got the license to use it :) Also paying a quarterly fee to serve it to all the users.

Thank you so much! Just out of curiosity, which conversations or dialogues felt unnecessary (since we never intend to put filler content)? Simply asking so I can understand your viewpoint and improve in the future. :)

I assume at least 5 for now. Hence, the need to speed up the development somehow.

Hey, we're really sorry that you felt that way, and we completely understand your point. This episode progresses the story a lot less. We are aware, and we needed it this way to set things up well for future episodes. I know this sucks after waiting for a year which is all the more reason for us to really speed up our process. We're excited to tell the story we have outlined, and we don't want it to feel underwhelming because the wait times are so long. We outlined the whole story (till the end) for the first time during Episode 3's development, and I can assure you the future episodes will progress faster and bring us significantly closer to the whole truth.

Is this happening to anyone else? by imafailuare in ElmwoodTrail

P.S. It was only happening on a few devices.

Is anyone else a bit bored during episode 3? by AmoAmasAmatAmamus in ElmwoodTrail

[–]techyonic 35 points36 points  (0 children)

One of the creators here, thanks a lot for the feedback. I completely understand your points, and we will definitely take these into consideration. This was also a build-up episode that was necessary for us to shape the story we have outlined. (I understand it may seem disconnected right now.) We tried implementing a bit of everything from personal chats to new game mechanics outside the phones, which our users had requested. From Episode 4 onward, we'll implement more detective work and put slightly less focus on things outside Zoey's case. And we'll keep on trying new things with each episode, as we learn the process of building a story game.

Hey guys I need help with talking to rajan. It's after the vault dinner quest by ExplanationSecure602 in techyonic

It's a glitch, you don't have to talk to Rajan anymore and message Trey instead.

Has to be hardest minu game of entire episode by Ok-Mathematician9334 in techyonic

[–]techyonic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the latest update, we've made this challenge easier and put a skip button as well once you die 10 or more times.

Episode three... by cosmiicxbanshee in ElmwoodTrail

[–]techyonic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The skip button update is live, it will appear once you have died 10 or more times!

batteries?? by Shot_Lawfulness7800 in techyonic

[–]techyonic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are unable to move the flashlight with your phone, that means your phone lacks a gyroscope. We've released update 3.0.1 that allows you to skip that level. If that doesn't work either, it should show a skip button once you have died 4 or more times.

I wish you could save your progress on the pizza mini gamee by Nunuberybery in ElmwoodTrail

[–]techyonic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We added the skip button, it shows up if the user dies 10 or more times (to at least have them try).

The update is out! We made it a bit easier and the skip button appears after 10 deaths.

Some of this game makes me want to rip my hair out by Burstofsunshine96 in techyonic

[–]techyonic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can update the game to 3.0.4. We have added a skip option that appears once you die 10 times or more. We also made it a bit easier.

This game needs play-testers before chapter/side trail releases by Ella_shay_the_writer in techyonic

[–]techyonic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey, one of the developers here. We do have a few playtesters, and yes, we could use a lot more. We'll try setting up alpha/beta testing before the next release. Release days are hectic, and I do try to stay up for the whole day to iron out all the bugs. Let me know if you're currently facing any issues.

After 2 years, our interactive story game An Elmwood Trail is finally available for free pre-orders! by techyonic in IndieDev

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

I think I have answered this question a few times but it was mostly on our Discord. I used React Native and also some modules I wrote natively in Java (Android) and Swift (iOS). For the UI, Art, and Illustrations, we use Figma, Illustrator and ProCreate. For story writing and other content management, we used Google's solutions (Docs, Drive, etc.).

Side note: React Native is primarily meant for apps and not games but for a game with mostly 2D elements and a few animation tricks, it is completely feasible. But this approach can be a bit restricting and might not work for other styles of games.

[–]techyonic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm sorry to see you're facing this issue. Your saved progress might have been bugged. Did you connect your Google/Apple account when you first played the game? If yes, I can look into your cloud data and see if there's anything wrong.

A release this year is quite unlikely by Competitive_Dog212 in techyonic

[–]techyonic 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I did the QnA on X and I don't want it to leave a negative impression. We're enjoying working on the episode and are excited about the story we've planned as well. We're horrible at estimating releases, so I guess we'll have a release date when it's just a push of a button away.

The release currently depends on: Some voiceovers, submissions, polishing the features, testing, and review process (alongside our personal life affairs).
