Awesome game - had loads of fun playing through this with a friend and every character interaction made us laugh. I love how the battle system basically only serves to make sure you've seen enough jokes before you leave an area (or to make you laugh on its own).
The lounging man eludes and vexes me. Anyway idk if anyone else has had this but at random times the screen would just continuously flicker after either entering/exiting a town or ending a battle. This was on mac.
Has anyone had any success getting this game to run on the Steam Deck? I have been trying for a few days, but I still have a lot to learn about Linux, so I haven't had any success :(
I've installed the Linux version through the itch app, just like any other game, but it won't play after pressing launch. It gives me the error message: "Exit code 0x7f(127) for (franken)". Tried the regular and the 64-bit version, but i get the same issue.
Try running it as a non-Steam game so that you get the Steam Runtime, which will have SDL2. You won’t be able to install anything through pacman because SteamOS is immutable.
I wanted to update this thread for anyone who was trying to get this working. You can download the Windows version, and then set it as a Non-Steam app, and with Proton, and it works great.
I've never played a game that has had me laugh continuously with no stops. The writing is amazing and the art and music is paired so perfectly. This is a master piece, 10/10.
Had a really fun time playing it. Lots of good dialogue that didn't feel like "too much" and if I didn't try to look at everything possible it has a good length to it for what it is. BTW love the art. Good shit.
This was awesome! Love the inspiration from classics like Dragon Quest, and the humor was top notch! I found myself laughing at almost all dialogue. The art and music were also phenomenal, all around just a fantastic little adventure for anyone that has about an hour and likes old JRPGs! Props to the developers! P.S. 3-Man is the best.
I just made an account to say how awesome this game is. In this state I'd already pay money for it. My favourite part was looking up the morse code. It gave me childhood flashbacks to Pokemon Ruby where you had to translate braille. The music is a solid 10/10. Also huge thank you for making a Linux release.
cute art, some funny moments, and obviously great character designs. i was expecting an rpg but this definitely feels more like a walking sim (the battle system is so rudimentary that it may as well be replaced by a sign saying 'just fight everything you see', theres no actual roleplaying, the only choice is whether to see every characters dialogue or not). pretty good way to spend half an hour but it doesnt feel like a game i guess

the cerberus fight is comedy gold ngl very good game overall
The lounging man eludes and vexes me. Anyway idk if anyone else has had this but at random times the screen would just continuously flicker after either entering/exiting a town or ending a battle. This was on mac.
A goddamn masterpiece
Great stuff. Thank you so much. Cerberus was a particular favorite his line in the wedding got me pretty good.

What is happening?
I've installed the Linux version through the itch app, just like any other game, but it won't play after pressing launch. It gives me the error message: "Exit code 0x7f(127) for (franken)". Tried the regular and the 64-bit version, but i get the same issue.
Open the terminal and type ./franken while in the game directory. What output does it give?
error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2-2.0.so.0 cannot open file no such file or directory
type "sudo pacman -S sdl2" and then install the library
Try running it as a non-Steam game so that you get the Steam Runtime, which will have SDL2. You won’t be able to install anything through pacman because SteamOS is immutable.

does beacon boy actually say OVER / TSERE or is he supposed to say OVER / THERE (because of the way his arms are pointing?)
supposed to say "OVER THERE", the text has a typo but the audio is correct.
ah okokok, I thought so lmao. The game made me squeal like a hog, such funny dialogue man. Awesome job!!!!
Based as hell
MASTERPIECE!
Loved this! Thanks for making it :)

It was lovely. Great writing. Perfect pacing. Really enjoyed the end!
This is a fantastic game. Great writing, art, and design. One of the most charming game experiences I've ever found on itch.io.
7/10 for random Blakes 7 music usage
+3/10 for character called 3
Total 10/20 because I failed math
Had a really fun time playing it. Lots of good dialogue that didn't feel like "too much" and if I didn't try to look at everything possible it has a good length to it for what it is. BTW love the art. Good shit.
This was exceptionally funny
Haha loved this! Great sense of humour, and all-round fun game to play.
A true work of art.
Soundtrack is real good. Gives vibes of OFF to me, which may tell you something if you're familiar with that game. Worth the time put in to play it.
I loved this!
If you love Final Fantasy II (aka Final antasy 4) you will LOVE this one.
Honestly, this is more than just a joke game. I loved the soundtrack and the characters and the art and in general this game made me really happy.
what the heck was that i loved it
Great game!

i role played as a total bad ass, personally
my sweet love
Yamato references/10. which is good
a yamato influence that i don't expect anyone to notice is that i based the scorpion design somewhat on the gamillas battleships
extremely based as the kids say
have u considered making an artbook? i rly love the sprites in this game
Thank you for Linux support!
very silly game, glad dunkey made a video bout it
This was an enjoyable experience. Thank you. :)
