Hello everyone! v0.3.0 is LIVE!!! Please go download it and give it a try. LOTS of great changes in this that we worked really hard to get out over this week.
With our program at the moment no; I do plan to allow modding in the future but that requires tool work I don't have the bandwidth to create at the moment. As for if you yourself could? Yeah, I used Godot and started with this GitHub that covered how to do windows which kickstarted this whole project.
We have plans for a corruption element! As for special ads like that? Maybe in the future, but I'm fearful about adding Ad's that cause that level of invasion on a user's machine. Might be something we do as a specific pop-up for a specific item.
Fuck, I'm still on Win10. Ill see if I can grab a machine that is running Win11 to repro that.
Also for the new problem... I literally JUST spotted that in code not even 10 minutes before you commented which is crazy. So it's fixed for next update!
Interesting, I wonder if it's somehow running the left and right events on the left click. Could you get to the terminal and spawn in the BFBot or Collared bots, when left clicking what interaction does it have?
Hello everyone! Just a little preview I got cooking for next update~ Hyperlinked text for the Brain Dance! Not only do you have the ability to type out commands, if something has been stated like a location, you can now click it to auto place and use the command for ease of use.
I don't fully understand the question, I'm sorry friend. Past picking up items, using them, and combining, there is just the terminal and letting Byte have fun. Hope that answers correct ^^
I will be improving upon the Terminal every update to make it more user friendly, but past that adding more menu's requires UX/UI work, stuff that slows me and Cindesh down heavily due to the requirement between both of us for anything better than my current shitty pink menus lol. I do want to add more menu's in as time goes on, but for now the focus is for sure improving what we have!
Also there is a (small) guide and controls on the pause menu if you hit ESC while having her focused and hovering over her!
EDIT: I made a pretty big QoL change to the brain dances to help out a bit above this comment chain! Hope that will help out next update.
Those are both UI work and not the best skill set I have as a Dev, but I will write those both down! No promises, but Ill for sure take a look at least for the Recipe Book, I enjoy that idea.
Noted! Yeah originally we had a close button but users kept clicking it in internal testing,,, With the new confirmation UI created, I believe I can make sure users are prompted.
You can close out of her via the task bar or if you pause the game (Via ESC key after bringing her into focus - Left click her twice) you can hit the X button in the top right to close her out! Though the exit command should also do the same function... Weird, that should close gracefully. Ill look into it.
Oh well, at this point of time we have patched the game and added a user flow to solve the password! But if you are not wishing to play the text adventure game, there is a blog post on Password hints that I have left up.
Hmmm, it seems your .NET is old or not installed. Weird, that's very rare in this day and age. You can grab .NET 8.0 from here and that should fix the issue?
Scary... There might be a generated crash log in your %APPDATA%\Roaming\Godot\app_userdata\DesktopPets folder that you can grab for me. I would recommend redownloading the game in full again and make sure Windows didn't purge a file by accident
... No there isn't ... Ill add that to the main Itch page now!
To cover that here; Currently in the substar build (That will come to live [DATE NOT SET] later) is a Maid outfit, two new popups, and two new sex scenes!
There are no hints at the moment, but we plan to put them into the Brain Dance and add more lil brain dances. They are low content sinks for us and we will use them for specifically terminal based content
Spawning in items isn't the natural flow. Spawn rates are custom set per item.
I'll look into balancing that data out a bit more so there is a bit more flare to what is dropped without pop-ups, but a small feeling I have is when we add more content that problem will slowly fix itself as well. Still good to look at!
Probably not but you never know. However I know the game for you! Check out One Potion Please on Steam or Itch by CoderGuy. If you want a Comic, check out A Thief's Growing Misfortune by Burhuru. Both great buddies of mine that do Growth and TF content
Oh! Sadly me and Cindesh are currently unable to take commissions, more so for a desktop pet of this depth. Perhaps in the future when we are able to get modding up, you can replace them with your own Robit!
If you are meaning making your own desktop pet, yeah! I made Byte with Godot and eventually plan to do a technical write up in the (FAR) future on how I did it, but my basis was off of this tutorial here for multi-windows. It takes a bit of work, but I highly recommend the process.
If you are wanting to draw or write fan stuff about Byte I believe Cindesh will have no issue with that lol. She can correct me if I'm wrong
In the future, I do want to allow modding but I have a few technical things I need to jump to allow that.
I have thought about this and will be including it in the next update. The issue is the terminal is more difficult to resize compared to the rest of the UI and Sprites due to fonts being... well fonts.
Hmm. Please Click on her Twice with Left Click to bring her into Focus, then while your mouse is hovered over her, hit the TAB key. If that doesn't lock her to that monitor, Ill take a look on my side to see if something regressed. Do you have any odd monitor placements or resolutions?
The transparency issue is something I want to fix; Could you provide information about your machine like OS, GPU, CPU, and any other relevant information you think could be useful?
