No problem! Glad Linux users have a chance to play now.
And thank you for sharing to reddit and Mastadon, I appreciate the plug.
I just finished porting CHROMATOSE to Linux, so feel free to playtest! I could use any bug reports you come across since I can't playtest the port myself -- I'm running it on a virtual machine so I'm getting speeds of .02FPS and can't test the whole thing.
Dang, sorry to hear that. There's tons of art/animations in the game so it can be a little rigorous on slower computers sometimes.
Also, did you extract the game from the .zip before trying to play it?
Hello, thanks for the comment!
It sounds like your game is running dramatically slower than it's supposed to. I've watched a bunch of videos and live streams of the game, and there haven't been performance issues like this before like in this video . The sections you're describing as having problems are when the game is adding images to your computer's memory.
Are you running the game from a D: drive? A user reported that when they tried running it from their D: partition, they had ridiculous load times on animations (10 sec+) but moving the game folder to C: and running it from there greatly improved performance.
Are you using a particularly slow computer? That would affect how quickly the game can load animations.
If neither of these work, what specs are you running + what version of the game do you have? This info might help me figure out what the problem is.
Sure! I'll also retweet and pass around as many videos as you make on my twitter/discord.
Great video! I thought it was really funny.
I'll be posting it around in the Chromatose community. Cheers!
P.S. You should check out the twitter/discord so you can stay in the loop on updates since a lot of content is coming down the line!
Glad you enjoyed it so far!
Haha I haven't worked on a Persona game before, though one of my main inspirations is Shigenori Soejima, the artistic director behind most of the ATLUS games you've heard of (Persona, Catherine, etc).
Those errors do sound bizarre, I haven't heard of them happening before. If you kept the screencaps, they would be very helpful if you could send them via PM on twitter, discord or here. Would you by any chance be playing on an older computer?
Don't worry! A Mac version is in the works!
