Will there ever be an Android version?
I don't currently plan to add an Android build, sorry.
Oh...
Is there gonna be any game play tho?
I can't get it to work and I don't know why. Laptop w/ no VR headset. Is there any known reason why it not may work?
Check to make sure your device supports Vulcan. It's a relatively new API so you may need to update drivers and older hardware may not support it.
how do I get the VR to work? It says set it up, but what does that mean exactly?
You need to make sure your VR headset is connected to your PC and that OpenXR compatible drivers are running.
For example: if you use SteamVR, make sure you have it running before starting the game.
Ohhhh okay, that makes a lot of sense, I deeply appreciate the reply 😅
still don't work for me
If you're on Windows MR's OpenXR Runtime, it doesn't have Vulcan support. Try making sure your OpenXR Runtime is set to SteamVR (SteamVR settings -> OpenXR).
Running into some weirdness: When I try to launch the game, it opens on a blank window before closing on its own. Not sure if its just my system not being able to keep up or just something I messed up.
Were there no errors? This game was built for VR-ready systems, so old or low-end systems may not be compatible.
You could try installing the game through the itch.io app. That should eliminate any potential installation mistakes but if the game isn't compatible it'll still crash.
How do i get the APK for the game to get it on side qest
There is no APK build planned at the moment, sorry. This game is only available on desktop.
is there a way to connect my quest to my desktop to play it
I know it's possible and there are a few guides online (like this one). Unfortunately, I don't own a Quest, so I can't offer any more support than that.
my fav mink is back
lovely game, always good to play more from you, I do wish it was longer like others, but I know the hardship there could be with a game that works different technically from what you've done before, either way, loved it, it just has the two endings, right?
Yep, just the two endings! Thanks for playing!
I do have a story idea that could lead to an expanded version of this game at some point, but no promises.
lovely to hear, happening or not
Seems I'm getting an error? Something about Vulkan drivers, despite my video card drivers being up to date
That shouldn't happen!
Could you give me a bit more info on the error and the system you're getting it on? I may be able to make a fix.
I've got a laptop (Toshiba Satellite) that runs windows 10. Graphics card is the Intel HD graphics 5500. Error claims that the graphics card doesn't support the current Vulkan version.
Considering that this is the second game that this has happened with I'm starting to wonder if it really is me that's the problem....
Yeah, your GPU is on the lower end and may not be able to run this game.
Some Godot games may run by forcing them to run in OpenGL3. Just make a shortcut and add "--rendering-driver opengl3" at the end of the target. This makes Date a Mink 3D look weird, but might work for 2D games.
I don't really understand how to add that command to "the end of the target" after I make the shortcut? Sorry, I'm not the best at some of this computer stuff.
Right click the shortcut and select "Properties". There, you can add "--rendering-driver opengl3" (without the quotes) to the end of the text in box by "Target:".
I don't really recommend this for Date a Mink 3D since it causes issues with the graphics but it might work well for other games.
