Is there a way you could make this game supported on Linux platform (Linux Mint).

Hello,

If I do add another port for the game, Linux would be next. I can't guarantee it any time soon cuz I've never worked with it before and I don't have a linux yet, but I'll try when the game is in a more complete state.

Hope this answers your question!

Okay, thanks! :)

my game crached randomly

Hello,

Sorry about the crash. Could you provide information on the crash or maybe a screenshot of the error message? If you want to hop over onto the discord server and provide more details that would be great!

i need help

Hello, 

So sorry to hear about your download taking so long. I'm not sure why your download is taking so long and it is probably an itch.io thing, but here is an alternate source from dropbox that you can try.

Hope this works!

thanks so much it worked you're the best (:

the game has been downloading for 3-7 hours

i bought the game and i tried playing but it wont work ):

how do i get creative mode?

Hello,

Hold down the space bar while creating a new game to enter create mode.

hey im worried this game is a case of sushi cat storycraft world creator, can you reassure me that theres an actual game?

Hello,

The game is free, so there shouldn't be any risk involved (except for maybe a few minutes of download). As for assurance that there is an actual game, yes, there is a game. A quick search on YouTube will easily confirm this. 

Just wondering, what were your reasons for assuming that there wasn't an actual game? Because if there's something that I'm missing as a developer or a red flag that was set off for you, I would wanna hear about it.

Hope this helps!

oh i just thought it was taking suspicously long

I think i found a bug where i beat the final boss on realm 8 but when i go back to the map screen i cant do anything except edit...


Is this the end or did i mess something up?

Hello,

Sadly, this is the current end state of the game. Congrats on beating the game!

Oh Ok Thanks For Letting Me Know!

Hey, you might remember me from some of the first days you put this amazing game up on itch. I reccomended some of the things you implemented or are implementing (wether i had any part in your decisions i have no idea). I would like to congratulate you on how far you've gotten so far. I would also like to reccomend a couple of things for when you release this on steam. I would appreciate it if you would make it so us poor people could get a copy of your game on steam somehow. I would also like it if you could, when the game is stable on steam, to add steam workshop on it, so we can see what things other people want to add to the game. I personally would be thrilled if you did these things, but if you don't want to, i understand completely. Keep doing you!

Hello!

I have been working on the next big update! When I do end up releasing a Steam version, I definitely do not want to lose the awesome player who have been playing for free. More details will come as the time draws near, and I am thinking of giving out keys to everyone in the Discord server (another great reason to join).

As for the Steam Workshop / modding, I have plans to incorporate these in, especially since a lot of the work with the game console easily transfers over to adding in custom items and stuff.

That sounds awesome! Thank you!

how to go into creative mode pls say

Hello!

You can go into creative mode by holding down the spacebar when creating a new game.

ahhhhhhhhhhh tyty u the best

Hi,Your game is great!I can help you with the Chinese translation, if you need.

In fact, you should publish the text file together with the game itself, and publish the text of the game publicly. Although I am just a new independent game maker, and I use unity, I don't know what engine you use, but the principle is not much different, just read the text from the outside.
This is convenient for multilingual translation and doesn't even require you to waste energy.

Hello,

Thanks for the suggestions on how to implement translations. Putting the strings into text files will definitely help outsource the translation work.

Thanks!

I met a problem, I can't send messages to the iislander in discord, so I could not get test version, I change how to solve this problem?

Hello,

If you have a problem sending messages to iislander in discord, ping me with @jwiggs and I will see what I can do about it.

Hi, I have a problem, i can't use "tech" when I click on a tech nothing highlight, but i am sure of having the right modules (I was on the last realm) if somebody can help me because not using technology really make me lose, thanks.

Hello, 

You can use tech in the forge by placing it in the left spaces. The tech will be infused into the item on the right space. 


Hope this helps!

(+1)

Thanks, so the techs like targeting sistem now works only on 1 weapon?

(+1)(-1)

Yes. Techs can now only be added once to their items.

hey Jwiggs! when does the next update come out?

add survival pls

also add god mode pls(not creative)

Hello! The next update is going to be literally game changing and is probably even bigger than movement update last year. I am currently working on the game full time, and I am hoping to finish it around early October. You can play the early version of the game from the Discord server.

The game is actually starting to add some elements of survival, but not a full on game mode.

Hope this helps! 

well the movement update WAS game changing so i suppose its worth the wait...

Hey Jwiggs! Is there a good place to contact you? 

Hello! 

I'm totally okay with being contacted here. However if you wanna chat, Discord would be a better place. DM me @ jwiggs#4655.

Either way, I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Just sent a request on Discord :)

yayayayay

now i know that the 10 hours of my life i used was worth it

ps i didnt cheat or do sandbox

i actually did it

Congrats!!!( and with full health as well)

thx

can you add pause button and have settings after you start the game

also add a thing to help with forge recipes

and spikes face the wrong way (they point the flat side towards the enemy)

Hello!

You can press escape to pause the battle. Hmm, a settings tab in the pause menu would be nice.

The forge recipe list is procedurally generated, so there are a ton of recipes out there. I will probably be reworking the forge(again) soon.

Spikes will face in the direction you are moving in, not in the direction of the enemy.

Hope this helps!

ok

thanks

This is a load of fun!

just a few things I am wondering:

- will you upload this to steam?

- will this game always be free?

- and can you add some archived versions (eg first build - latest build)? I noticed an outdated version (which lead me here) and really enjoyed the idea!

- was this made in unity 2d? or another program?

- will there ever be mod support (before or after, if ever) a steam build?

Hello! Sorry for the late reply.


Will I upload this to steam? The game is changing rapidly, and the next uupdate will be as game changing as the first movement update. I do want to publish this, however it could be a while.

Will this game always be free? I love free stuff, and good free games are hard to find. The steam version will probably not be free to play, however I fully intend to keep a playable, fun, and free version here on itch.io.

Can I add some archived versions? The legacy version has been made available. I currently am not handing out prior stable versions of the game, I will try and compile a list of decent game versions and then let be available to download. This will probably happen around the time of the Steam release.

How was this game made? This game was made in GameMaker Studio 2.

Will there ever be mod support? I do not see a full mod support system coming, but micro mod support, like editing items, islands, classes and smaller things like that are in mind. I have already begun giving more power to you all with the console, where you can create your own custom items out of the many many properties I have already defined. 


I am glad you had a ton of fun! I have been bale to work on the game for a bit, however I am going to be starting development back up soon. Thanks for your support and patience!

Thanks for replying!

I'm sorry that I was quite vague, but your reply answered all of my questions! (I love free stuff too.) Thanks for being a great developer, which is hard to come by these days!

this game is pretty good,I played it for 5 hours this day!but my english is not good enough.sincerely hope this game can add chinese language.


a few tips that I suggest(For reference only):

1.due to the fight place(Battlefield), add Multiplayer mode to play this game may be  funnier.

2.The Beginning of the game is so hard.....

3.more music and sound effect

4.more realm(OMG! final boss is so hard)

5.more blocks、weapon and forge textbook(I do not know how to forge qwq)

6.maybe you can land this game on steam

hahaha,yeah!!!I winned the final boss! It cost me 4 hours!this game is so pretty and attractive!

it is such a epic game I have never played!a game made by a really creative author!

emmmmmm.......

a little suggestions:

please add a endless gamemode,after the final boss,I want to play more content.

maybe more gamemode would benefit this game more

well,if this game lands steam,add steam build will make this game lots of mods support.

Hello! So sorry for the late reply.

I have received many many requests for this game to be translated into Chinese. When I do multiple language support (which is sadly a long way off), Chinese is the top language on my list.

Multiplayer could be interesting, but the core of the game is about to change once again, so multiplayer is also a long way off.

I just played through the game with a friend and I totally understand what you mean when you say the beginning of the game is hard. It very much is and I'm sorry I haven't balanced it quite well. However I have come up with solutions to directly address this issue for future updates.

More music and sound effects would be great, and I would love to polish up the game some more with a full soundtrack. I will do my best to add polish along the journey to completing the game.

More realms? While I do not think that more realms is the solution to a short gameplay experience, I have ideas to make the game more engaging in the long term. The final boss is a terrible design way of bringing the player back because there is literally nothing after you beat the boss.

Landing the game on steam? I have plans to publish this game, I am not quite sure on the timing.


I am very glad you enjoyed this game. Cheers!

thanks for your care of my comments,what you need to keep first is your body during the development of the game .if the game is on a better version and uploaded to steam,hope you can add more funny and great things and set a reasonable price(not too high or too low) and you will get more support by players in steam.

hope you can add steam workshop and allow more players to create more mods such as islands,items,weapons,blocks,enemies,gamemodes and so on(please add a “mods”Folder to put mods that is downloaded via steam workshop).

also I sincerely hope you can add a endless gamemode and more gamemodes.

love this game :D

my English is not good,but this gameis very good!

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed playing it.

I figured out my first question but now would it be possible to add a remove command to remove items from your inventory??

You can delete items by selecting the item you want to delete and then right clicking the trash. If you want to spam delete that item, use shift + right click to quickly make the item count drop.


Hope this helps!

thanks that really does help😀😀

Is there away to give yourself items in game to test them out in combinations

1 word.

epic!

Thanks a lot! I'm still working on this game and there is gonna a whole lot more EPIC coming around!

(1 edit)

Thanks for the great game! It inspired me to make a D&D campaign, I hope you don't mind me stealing your plot!

(+1)

Hello!

Glad you enjoyed the game. Story wise, there's actually not much story there, but I have been thinking about doing more lore into the game eventually! 

It's awesome to hear that you were inspired to make a DnD campaign from this!

Cheers!

how do i activate cheat menu

(every item in inventory and 99999 coins)

(+1)

Hello,

You can enter sandbox mode by holding down the spacebar while creating a new game. You can also open the console by pressing ` and then give yourself modified items.

Hope this helps!

(+2)

how do I use tech

(+2)(-1)

Hello,

You can use tech by infusing it into other items in the forge. Basically put the tech into one of the left item slots and the item you want to upgrade on the right slot. Then infuse them together and voila, your tech has been added. 

Hope this helps with some of the confusion.

(+1)

thank you jwiggs

hey uh dont label the game as playable in browser because thats a lie if you can turn that off it would be great but itch probably did that automatically so oh well

Yeah, by having the little mini game it automatically marks the game as browser playable. Wish I could change that as well.

(1 edit)

can you please release beta versions (that are really buggy) cuz I’ve lost interest in the game.

Sincerely, silicon.

Hello,

I apologise for the updates taking way too long. I've been busy with school and it was a very technical rework. That being said, I have completed the update and will probably be releasing it within the next day. I'm hoping to get updates out faster over this summer period as well.

Personally, I am not handing out or supporting any of the previous (buggy) versions of the game. However, a few members of the Discord server have kept a rather comprehensive collection of all the previous releases, and I can't stop you from getting it from them (I just won't be handing it out myself).

I actually make test versions available to ANYONE who joins the discord server. Normally, there is a new version every Friday for people to play around with. In fact, since the next update is pretty much complete, you can download it pretty much right now if you want (except you won't get a a comprehensive change log).

Thanks for your patience and continued support! 

could you be making it available to the legacy version with save for download?


Does it still have permadeath?

(+1)

Hello,

Permadeath is still a thing, however game saves have been implemented since the first game jam version of the game. 

(1 edit)

Aweome! Thank you

Edit: I'm a filthy cheater, mind if I ask you where the saves are stored at?

In version 3.02, the save files are located here:

Windows: %localappdata%/IIslands_Of_War
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/com.jwiggs.iislandsofwar
Linux: ~/.config/IIslands_Of_War

In the next update coming soon, I figured that once people have had their fill playing normally, they would want to try and mess around with the game, so I have added some nice tools to let the player do that. 

Enjoy!


PS. (shameless plug): You can also join the discord server here: https://discord.gg/c3NQd47 to get test versions of the game.

Thx for that mate!

I've joined the discord as @Noriel_Sylvire

I'm now probably going to make a script for windows that makes backups of games and reloads them whenever you want.

Edit: Well, this is unfortunate, but I didn't seem to be able to find that folder... I created a new game so that there's something for the game to save there.

Edit2: I opened the folder (%localappdata%) in the command prompt as admin and there's no IIslands folder. That's odd. But it doesn't matter, I don't think many people would like to use this kind of mod, cause it's cheating.

Just press "Win+R", enter "%localappdata%\IIslands_Of_War" (without quotes) into the Run box that appears, and you should find a file named "_iislandsofwarsave", which you can open with any text editor.

BTW, if you really want to cheat, just press "Alt+Backspace" when fighting ;)

That final boss, it makes me want to curl up into a corner and rethink my life choices

How to get in creative mode?

Hello, 

You can enter sandbox mode by holding down the space bar while making a new game. Keep holding the spacebar through the cloud animations and you should be given all of the items to play around with!

Enjoy!

Hi,I've been an avid fan of this game even from the very early stages,and encouraged all my friends to play it.However,this game has come to sort of a standstill due to lack of updates(even pubg has faster updates than this,I mean come on bro)/changes to the game.I do respect the fact that these games do take painstakingly long hours of coding and testing, and working on them is easier said than done.

I do hope that U've got something grand planned(like survival mode;local multiplayer, story-oriented gameplay etc. ),and that the coming update is worth the wait.

PS: Its been over 3 and a half MONTHS from the last minor update,so please, for God's sake pump out that next update.

Also PS:I love this game don't kill it cause of lack of updates

(1 edit)

Hello! 

I am very pleased to tell you that I am in the final stage of testing and bug fixing. As a one man team, adding in new features can be a little bit slow at times, especially when I have to massively rework core elements of the game that I am unhappy with. EDIT: The game is still in its alpha phase of development, so I'm working on the core gameplay loop and making sure that it is well designed.

I have been watching the clock as well, and I am surprised at how long it is taking. I didn't actually think this update would take this long, but I also would not want to release an update that crashed every 5 minutes.

If you wanna see the development progress, do join the discord here: https://discord.gg/c3NQd47. You can test out the next (broken) version of the game and also stay updated with the development progress!

I'm glad you enjoyed the game and am so glad for your support!

(1 edit)

Thanks bro you are the best.I respect everything you do and the long hours of coding,keep up the good work :)

Well buddy, the next update a a very MAJOR one...

I think that this is an completely amazing game but I have one suggestion....


Multiplayer

Two players verse each other too the death with custom rules set like:

Overall max speed and acceleration 

No mythic/legendary items

Infinite items yes/no


I'm sure you'll see this and respond because you're just that awesome.

Thanks for the awesome game. :)

(+2)

I doubt online multiplayer will ever happen, but local multiplayer would be nice...

(+1)

Hello!

Multiplayer would be awesome and this suggestion has come up many many times. However, I still have so so many core features that are changing and I have plans to change even more of them. Since the last major update, I have spent my time reworking a single core feature, items. changes like these massively modify the internal code structure, so it only makes sense that all the big changes are out of the way first before attempting to implement something as grand as multiplayer.

Online multiplayer with a matchmaking system is a very very long way off and is most likely to not ever be happening. A local multiplayer would be reasonable, but is also a long way off (I have about a year's worth of core changes planned).

So that being said, there are a lot of ways a multiplayer could be done, and I am looking forward to working on it when the time comes. Thanks so much for your suggestions! I'm glad you enjoyed the game!

Just be patient. Some core features are still being made and the game itself is still in alpha stages. I believe J-wiggles has multipayer planned, but that's far off. Especially when you're reworking literally everything.

(+1)(-1)

Its really laggy for me even though i have a good computer, anyone know w fix? it should be running at 60fps but its running at 30-40fps

I have the same issue. Since the last update, the game runs at 60fps for a little while, then suddenly drops down to 30fps and stays there. So I would be interested in a fix too.

Hello, 

Thanks for this awesome games,  it's was difficult to end it, but it's so satisfying.
Now I have change my OS, I wonder if a linux support is planned ?

Good luck for developpement.

Hello,

Linux support is planned, but it is probably not going to be anytime soon. The game is still in its early alpha phase so unfortunately the only target platforms right now are Windows and Mac. When I release the full game, I will be looking into a linux port as well.

Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it!

(1 edit)

I found a bug ... accessories added to armor or shield generators do not survive a save. The addons do not get written to the save file at all and subsequently are lost forever. The addons do seem to stay there until you leave the game or go to the main screen.

EDIT: the mod parts are saved to the save file when exiting but they are not loaded back when reloading the game...

That sounds like a similar bug to what I encountered...

The way I solve it is removing all the shield generators before exiting and then putting them all back after I come back.

Can u fix bugs on the legacy version?If so,my  mouse dosen't show up when I'm playing.Also,I have to sign out on my PC to close the game.

Hey man! 

Sorry for the late reply and sorry about those bugs. I'm not sure what would have caused that. 

Since the game is still in its earlier stages, I'm not going back to any legacy versions to fix previous bugs. This is because most of the time these bugs get fixed in a future version, so to go back and make sure every legacy version is 100% stable would be tedious.

Thanks!
