Hello, I'm having some tech issues keeping me from playing the completed version of this, and have had no luck finding any fixes.
Upon starting Exodemon, the game simply displays a solid pink/purple screen and nothing else. Sound effects seem to work fine, and certain keyboard inputs make menu-like sounds, so I'm guessing that the actual game is still rendering just fine behind that pink screen.
What's worse is, somehow installing the full game even broke the demo! The demo's menu displays just fine but as soon as gameplay starts, the player's arms are the only thing visible, and the environment is obscured by an orange screen instead of pink.
Is there any sort of remedy for this? I've bought it twice now (both here and on Steam), I'd really like to be able to play it.
About the demo, try deleting your save folder at: C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\LocalLow\Kuupu\Exodemon Delete the entire Exodemon folder, this should fix it.
About the pink screen, what graphics card are playing on?
I honestly don't have a GPU in my current box thanks to some IRL shenanigans; even the demo, when it was playable, demanded an embarassingly low resolution; the fact that the art direction and gameplay were still clear is a testament to its strong design!
I do have a hypothesis as to what's happening, though: the game makes frequent use of fullscreen flashes of color, such as when teleporting, picking up ammo and health, etc. I know for certain that the demo starts gameplay with orange flashes; do the commercial version's boot screens start with a pinkish-purple flash? If so, then I think that's the problem there: the effects are not fading as they're supposed to. Is there any way I can try disabling those fullscreen effects from my end?
You are correct about the orange effect, but the pink screen usually represents an shader error or other type of rendering problem on unity, for some reason you are not able to render the game properly on your machine after the engine was updated between the demo and the final game.
Long story short, I lost the project, released the game with the last stage in "beta" because it was the only stable version available, after a while I managed to recover the project and I'm still working on the new version. Sorry for the confusion!
Holy shit I remember playing the demo years ago and being blown away by it. Now it released???? I don't have the money right now but once I do I am buying it straight away. I remember playing this on my crappy computer that would crash if you sneezed. This is gonna be so goddamn sick.

So was this game ever updated past 1.1 like you were saying?

I'm really sorry you are having these issues! D:

Ah, that's life sometimes. I guess I'll still have the installer when I eventually upgrade my rig. Thanks!
Just wait a little bit, a new update is coming in the next month or so, maybe you'll be able to play then! :)
It's finally released! Loved the demo years ago and once I have money I'm buying it right away.
Why does it still say "in development" if it's been released?

This game is AMAZING.
i need controller support
Aside from the menus the XBox 360 controller works properly.
What controller are you using?
