Would a soundtrack ever be considered for release? I'd definitely be interested if so!

(1 edit)

It won't let me extract the file for widows

Sorry you're having trouble.  What's the error?

I LOV THIS GAME SO MUCH PLEASE MKAMDKWJDP AJSDOJD AOPSJD MAKE MORE IM INLOVE WITH THESE.

You need any voice actors for future projects, I'm always available! :)

Will it be released on Android someday?

An Android Version is in the works, but there is not ETA for it.

when can it be played on webste?

Date Time uses an amped-up animation system that makes scenes cinematic and dynamic, but unfortunately, that system is not supported by itch.io's webgl.   

The game is available on any modern computer system, be it Mac, Windows or Linux.

I'll be waiting for the Android release then!! Btw I love the game so much<3

Is it possible that in the future this game will have good endings with each character? 

There will be multiple endings in the full version of the game.

The game is something very interesting. I really like on how you took real virus that the internet has encountered and made a story that benefitted it's method of spread. Nice job.

Here's my channel for other games I have played. https://www.youtube.com/@Levont

Made a video mostly with Petya

Made another video about Anna

Made a video for Anna

I -heavily- enjoyed this VN. Definitely left an impression on me. Awesome work! I highly anticipate the full release.

Thanks so much!  :D

Beautiful game, it seems Petya bugged out for me also. I opened Petya up first, before playing any of the chapters, it then told me to play the first chapter and come back. But, after coming back (I also tried it after finishing everything that is currently in the game), the room where Petya is supposed to be is just black and I can only see the text box.

(+1)

Yes, sorry about that.  A fix will be coming very soon for people who try to access PETya before accessing any of the Date Time software.

New demo was so much fun I think Petya might've bugged on me? But other than it was super interesting to see the story expand SO MUCH! Can't wait to play it when you're finally finished! been following since the very first demo!

Oh, I see it.  thanks for letting me know about that.  A fix will be present later tonight.

By the way, I also just noticed that some parts are auto skipping for you.  I noticed it in the email section and Ada's letter especially.

That shouldn't be happening.

But I am wondering, did you adjust the size of the text in your settings?  What's your resolution setup?

HAHAH I had a feeling something was up I think I turned the text size up just one size up and resolution is just 1920x1080 I didn't mess with that just the text font and upped the graphics! Thanks so much CatTrigger btw for the speedy reply and trying to fix it so soon! You're so amazing!

(1 edit)

My bad on the text, a bit of an oversight, since the option was a straggler from an older project.  

Text on the newest update has been standardized into one size for this game since its default size is integral to all the text boxes.  If the updated version still has the big text, go back to the older version you have and set it to normal and then switch, OR follow my directions on the changelog.

Sorry about the confusion, a shame the Ada notes screwed up for you on stream!

I went into the game completely blind not knowing anything about this game. As I result this was very enjoyable experience and I personally cannot wait for the full game cuz ik that's gonna be some heat.


Here's my gameplay of it

FULL UPDATE ABOVE^^

Absolutely love everything about this game! i play melissa and Morris when they first come out and this update/expansion was amazing i cant believe how much more content has been added just to the demo and so looking forward to the full game!

the new update is incredible oh my god!! i can't wait for the full release!

I think it’s just me, I cannot access the new version…it says that I have to wait for the new demo instead.

Where are you getting this message?

[Wrong Mac demo]

This is based on the app named "Mac_DateTimeDemoVer2_final.app"?

Ok, I checked and apparently it was a beta, my bad. New mac release doesn’t work at all now

(1 edit)

Do you have certain security settings that may prevent you from running an app not specifically from an app store?

You may also want to try downloading it from Steam if you're having trouble with your app settings. - https://store.steampowered.com/app/2313010/Date_Time_Melissa_Morris_Anna/

I downloaded the game to play it, but when I tried extracting it an error message popped up. I even tried downloading and extracting it a second time but the same message popped up:


I downloaded the windows PC link from here. I’m lost on what to do now.

Hi Violetcloud!

Sorry you're going through that.

Are you able to export the game to a base drive directory?  Such as "C:\DateTimeGame" ?

I really enjoyed the update and I can't wait to see what happens next. 😁

....melissa, sign the contract.

Are you free accepting translations?

interesting,which language are you going to translate?

Brazilian Portuguese!

There is a big community of indie gaming here

🎄HAPPY HOLIDAYS!🎄

Great update. I love the new content. Congrats!

(+2)

Making it free is a chad move.

I'm not getting this unless you ad Petya

Really loved the original and the fact that you guys took the time to add in more stuff to the original was just awesome, really truely love this game and cannot wait for the rest to come out, well done CatTrigger

It was good, and had a really interesting twist ending.

i thought there was a different ending to melissa already so i dug into her files...

sorry melissa.

Alternative ending to the first chapter, along with an alternate path will be in an updated version of the demo.

(+2)

yeah i know that now. i hope melissa isn't too mad at me for messing with her code.

Hey! I'm running into an issue where I can get to melissa's route, but as soon as the "welcome to the library system computer" dialogue comes up I can no longer click to progress or do anything else really.

Sorry that's happening to you.  Can you describe what operating system you are using, and your computer specs to me?

Windows 10. home
OS build 19045.3208
Intel(r) Core (tM) i7-6700k CPU @ 4.00GHz 4.00GHz
16GB RAM
64 bit operating system, x64-based processor

Thanks!

If you can, send me a detailed description of your problem, including what you see (Freezing?  Black Screen.  Etc.), and where you're clicking through my "Contact CatTrigger" form here:

will there be a Mac version one day?? :0

(+1)

Yes, absolutely.  There will be a Mac version on the next update of the Demo.

Can you add the android version?

(+1)

There will most likely be an Android version on the next update of the Demo.

ohh ok thx I'm gonna make a video on it when it comes out

I play no robots allowed it good 4 ending spollers i think they all connect universe it awesome it just a game theory

(+1)

This game was a absolute ride! Loved it! Loved the artstyle too, keep it up guys and I can't wait to see more from your team! 😁👍

did not expect that..

idk  why but i cant download it (it says that it can't read property 'build' of undefined) v^v

Sorry you’re going through that!

Could you describe where you are getting this error?   Where does it pop up?  What action triggers it?

So I have the itch.io desktop app and when I press on 'install', an error occurs during installation and a black box pops up and says 'While queuing download: TypeError: Cannot read property 'build' of undefined at file', stopping me from installing it.

(+1)

Oof!  That sucks!

I'm not sure how the desktop app particularly works with the Demo.  Are you using a Windows PC or are you trying to get this to work on Linux / Mac?  

You can always download the game manually on the site through your browser: https://cattrigger.itch.io/date-time

I use Windows and I'll try that, thanks for the suggestion! ^^

(+1)

This was sick! Definitely looking forward to the full version
