im using 2 letter merger for v, rotate it and give it an i so that makes k, for e its one i and three diagonal lines in a 4 letter merger, and im using a v and an i to make y
I'd played the demo on Steam last week, then bought this on Itch. Had a good time with the old version, and am having fun with this version. Great game.
But here's a heads up for anyone playing the current version from an incomplete old version save (still have recipes/letters to make). The factories show the letter/non-letter combination before you hit play if you've made that character before. If you've never made the character, it'll show a blank. A blank is also not an invalid combination; that's still a question mark.
Spent about twenty minutes trying to work out a way to make the letter F because all of the combinations were showing a blank. So, hopefully this helps if you're playing an older save.
Thanks for clarifying that for people, we've received similar feedback from other people, and I can see how it's particularly confusing when playing from a previous save file. We're thinking about how we can communicate this better.
hmm new update chrome crashes just from trying to download this, I tried to download anything else large and everything but my chrome crashes just downloading it :-(
Yeah I downloaded it from Opera, but just wondering why it crash a chrome, I tried on Window Edge(I know it's chrome) but yeah both crash when downloading. restart and still so I had downloaded the Opera,(or Firefox would be fine) but hmmm, seems string. The game however it is awesome and I really love any Factory type. Just a great game for sure
You have the = @ # recipes, so you should add C + O + I = & V (upsidedown) + V (right) + V (left) = * V + V (upsidedown) + V (right) + V (left) = + (plus recipe but with L) = +
Cute game! Small issue tho; it crashes if it fails to connect to the server to get the word of the day though (on game launch). I run Little Snitch and chose to block the connection, but even if I took too long deciding, the game would crash if the request timed out
We do not plan to distribute Steam keys, but the Itch version will be updated to the latest version of the game once we release on Steam later this year
You can SHIFT+CLICK the horizontal reflector to turn it into a vertical reflector. That will be improved in the new version that is coming later this year (the vertical reflector will be in the list of buildings)!
```./Factori: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory```
Getting the above error trying to run the demo on linux, not sure if this is on your guys' end or the framework you're using but perhaps consider bundling dependencies(or widening version reqs if that's the issue) as it seems it's unable to find it (libcrypto should be part of the libssl/libssl-dev package on debian-based distro's but the game doesn't seem to recognize that despite the fact that it's installed)
I keep getting an error upon completing a level (It stopped after completing the "tutorial"). The progress stays but the game crashes so I have to reboot after every solve:
Hello, unfortunately there's no way to do that in the current build. We're working on an update and one of the new features is to bump the resolution to 1080p (we tried 4K, but it caused too many performance issues to be worth it). 1080p should be a significant improvement though since it divides evenly into 4K
Thanks for the quick response. Right, so it's even less than 1080p now, I didn't realize. It's fine, I got used to it after a bit and no longer notice it. I'm enjoying it, finished all the preset levels and looking forward to doing the dailys :)
So is it worth buying it here, or wait 6-12 months to get it from steam? Is it essentially the same game, or is the steam release bigger and more expensive. I don't want to buy it here only to own half the game it is on steam.
Hi, once we release on Steam we'll also be releasing the update on Itch as well. It'll include hard mode, dark mode, as well as some other features. So feel free to buy on whichever platform you prefer :)
I'd really like to play this. But I'll either wait for Steam or Android.
I understand charging, don't get me wrong, but I think you're limiting yourself with this sort of casual game. Have you considered doing a browser version, like Wordle, and doing daily puzzles like they do? You could really be in the money if you're picked up by the NYT. Just a thought.

Please make a demo. I cannot live 3 more seconds without this game, but I am broke AF.
This wasn't for Mac and It made me cry. I hope that you might be able to make it for Mac. That would be amazing
My game is bugged, because i beat all the levels before the key + door "secret" but when i make "key" i ends up as a question mark, like why is that?
Hi, sorry to hear you're hitting issues. Which combination of buildings are you using to make key?
im using 2 letter merger for v, rotate it and give it an i so that makes k, for e its one i and three diagonal lines in a 4 letter merger, and im using a v and an i to make y

Hi kernel, could you try again using Firefox and let me know if the issue still persists?

How do you play word factori on linux? i just don't get it.
(and mostly linux files are .deb or .tar)
Use ether wine or proton to run the windows version
You have the = @ # recipes, so you should add
C + O + I = &
V (upsidedown) + V (right) + V (left) = *
V + V (upsidedown) + V (right) + V (left) = +
(plus recipe but with L) = +
How do you make G?
C + Upsidedown L

Do we get a steam key when it releases?

vertical flipper, where is it
You can SHIFT+CLICK the horizontal reflector to turn it into a vertical reflector. That will be improved in the new version that is coming later this year (the vertical reflector will be in the list of buildings)!
Steam (unreleased as of 30/04/2023 DD/MM/YYYY): https://store.steampowered.com/app/2072840/Word_Factori/
bruh it costs money :/

yeah, whenever I beat a level in the demo, it does the same error
Hi! So sorry for missing this
The issue should be fixed now
It was a problem on the server side, so you can feel free to continue playing without downloading a new build
Bug report: It doesn't seem like Z's created by rotating an N are capable of being turned into S's after being reflected.
All Of This Is For The Devs.
Edit : Post replies as stuff for the developers.
I couldnt upload it, so here is a picture of a changing x.
Is there a way to change the resolution? At least in the ini config? It's quite blurry at 4K fullscreen.
Hello, unfortunately there's no way to do that in the current build. We're working on an update and one of the new features is to bump the resolution to 1080p (we tried 4K, but it caused too many performance issues to be worth it). 1080p should be a significant improvement though since it divides evenly into 4K

I am sure you get a bigger cut from itchio than from steam so when I can I ll pick the game from here. Thanks for the clarification.
I'd really like to play this. But I'll either wait for Steam or Android.

Looking forward to playing!
Interesting idea! Releasing on steam is our only immediate plan for now, but a mobile version is definitely an option we may explore later
Yeah... immediate plan... yeahhh....
YEAH.....
YEAH...
i got an error

https://factori-font.blazebrown87221.repl.co/
from blazebrown87222
Is it fedoka one?
yes
i would like the ability to make numbers in version 1.1 (e.g bending a z becomes a 2)
but then how do you make s? how about merging a rotated c with a z
no it's a c and mabye a horisontaly flippped z or horisontaly and verticaly flipped n?
I finished a full game level, in the demo
Same
I completed full game in Demo & Purchased Version
I still have the full version for free, cuz I installed it before they made it paid. LOL!
Sounds like you have the jam version, the paid version has more ;)
ohhhhh i did the same thing also how do you do T
upside down l + rotated i
i also made a # from 2 vertical lines + 2 horizontal lines
Is there a way to still get the jam version? Is that the demo?
I will cry a lake with my file "(;png" who is now ");png" (Yes I actually have a file named that)
