Hi Dragon_Queen, the game touches on topics of grief, death, and existentialism which might be quite heavy for a younger audience. 

The game has no official age rating, but I believe it would be appropriate for teenagers and adults who are comfortable with these themes. ~L

Hi there, sorry for the late reply! 

The itch version is kept up-to-date alongside the steam version. There shouldn't be any difference beyond some Steam functionality like achievements.

Hi ~ The game was made with VisionaireStudio, which I believe you would need to edit the files.

Hi ItchyTanuki, yes the experimental mac build is available on itch, and updated alongside the other builds. Unfortunately I can't offer any support if there are issues with the build, so please only purchase if you under the risk, and also intend to play on Windows or Linux.

Hi sonderjack! I'd encourage anyone to buy the game simply on the platform they enjoy using the most. Thanks for your support!

Hi Anri_So, we've just linked Steam codes to itch, so you should be able to retrieve a Steam key for your itch copy.

Let me know if you have any trouble.

Hi, could you try launching the game via the Itch.io App? Let me know if that works for you. ~L

Hi sasiwg23, sorry for the late reply - an experimental macOS build is available in the itch limited access, if you would like to try!

Hi Seth, we have every intention to distribute Steam keys to Itch.io owners provided that the two platforms support this feature at launch. As such, we caution folks that it's not guaranteed. 

Hope that answers your questions - let me know if there's anything else I can help with!

Hi again - could you try changing the Fullscreen value in config.ini to 'no'? The player seems to have trouble isolating the game when starting in fullscreen on Linux, but disabling this worked on my installations.

Hi, sorry to hear you've had issues running the game on Linux - I do generally test the game on the latest Ubuntu LTS/Fedora. I will investigate if there's a problem with Linux this week and get back to you. If at any stage you want the amount you payed to be refunded, just let me know and I'll process that for you.

Glad you enjoyed the game - the soundtrack has just become available on Bandcamp for free/name your price

Just small fixes that arose from the last update, not worth a changelog for. Shouldn't affect any saves.

Good catch!

Hi Denizonmus, glad you enjoyed Kingdom Ka.

I wouldn't know how to go about making a cursor pack for windows, but I've provided the sheet for the cursors below. Feel free to use them however you wish.

Hi santijpg ~ there is one character that consumes you, and in doing so and eats all your petals. You will want to visit him again to get them back.

Hi Saule ~ this character is happy to endlessly fill up your head with more tea, but in order to enter the Kingdom you'll need an open mind. More of something is not always better.

Let me know if you have any further trouble!

Thanks so much Zea for taking the time to play my game and share it with your community, it was wonderful to hear everyone's thoughts and feelings. Sorry you had some trouble with the scrolling at times, but glad you figured it out in the end. Hope to see you soon with the release of The Garden Path!

Thanks for another great playthrough msBean, really looking forward to seeing its conclusion in the next upload!

A lovely playthrough, thanks msBean! Wonderful to hear that it resonated with you.

Sorry that the text moved a bit too fast at times, definitely something I'll keep in mind from now on in my development.

Thanks for the playthrough, always great to see how people respond to the game. Glad you found the game to be 'different' to anything you've played before.

I've decided to roll back the Linux version of Kingdom Ka to the older engine. The main reason the game was ported was to solve a dpi issue in Windows 10 that the newer engine fixed. The user experience between engines is identical on Linux, as far as I can tell.

I'll continue to investigate the issues in the newer engine, but for now this rollback puts us in a much more reliable place for pure playability's sake.

If anyone is having any issues running this game on Linux, do continue to let me know and so I can commit time to investigating.

Thanks!

Hey jmelesky, thanks for letting me know.

There's been a few issues reported since I've ported the game into the new engine that I have been looking into. I'll be sure to let you know as soon as I've made some progress and pushed an update - it's always invaluable to get feedback like this especially where Linux installations can vary so greatly.

Thank you - I'm not currently looking to publish my existing games on Steam, but will be sure to consider you as I develop future titles.

Glad to hear it. Will continue to look into which monitor the game uses as best I can.
