i had the same problem as other people with the black screen and weird errors after extraction but after i changed it to a .zip file from a .7z with https://www.romvault.com/trrntzip/ it fixed itself. so maybe you need to change the compression type. (windows 10)
I played the original game jam version of this game. I was ENTRALLED. I fell in love the world. Building synergy felt good. Feeling the tangible results of your choices felt good. The game was short (understandable, it was a game jam) but it was so satisfying.
This prototype build you're working on. In my opinion is goes beyond and it still feels good but in a slightly different way. I love the changes to explorations. I love the reward system changes. And all the added cards and synergy are very neat. I love the idea of cards with set uses so you can plan out a very strong card before it's gone. Utilizing the practice dummy card of your field cards by milling til you pull it allows you to get crazy. There's so many different approaches.
I'm excited to see this game grow. Thank you for continuing the work on this.
Loved the game when I downloaded the jam version, been playing it on and off for months, really balanced and pretty challenging but still beatable, and the art style, just WOW. Decided to download the new version and I cant stand it, the similarity is practically gone with the cards, gameplay, and art style, fundamentally the art style is still there but the character movements and even some enemies that should be familiar just aren't, I feel like I'm playing an entirely different game. The devs had something going with the one path story line and the cards that the user could get. Imo only thing this game needed from original creation was more truffles, a save function, and a longer story like something after getting the final key, and beyond that different enemies and maybe some additional cards. I'll just keep playing the original version when I feel like playing a deck-builder combat, not touching this version again. Less IS more. This had the potential to be like inscryption and even surpass it, inscryption ruined itself with that pokemon-esque style and all the additional stuff after you beat leshy the first time, and this had the chance to remain with the same art style for enemies, movement, cards, and playstyle. If it aint broke don't fix it. Nothing but love to the devs, just my 2 cents.
Hey! I’m the sole programmer on Shroom and Gloom at the moment. I totally respect your opinion, and agree with your take on the pokemon-esque 2nd act of inscription!
I can understand the frustration, but despite how you feel I’m going to make it my personal mission to make you like this version more than the jam version!
With that in mind, Id love to chat more about what frustrated you. My DM’s are open on the discord.
You’re gonna love our new Pokémon inspired gameplay we have planned.
This game has all the elements that can skyrocket it into a new indie mega hit. The sound effects, art style, and game loop are satisfying and exciting. It's like a new and inspired inscryption. It's a hell of a lot of fun. I hope you get the notice you deserve for this.
Hey! Thanks for directing me to here after I found your game on Tiktok. I've just downloaded 04.15 and after going through the start screen, the 'loading' pulses 3 times then disappears leaving me with a black screen. I've tried to close and run the game as administrator to no success. Do you know what I can do to fix? Thanks!
No menu if I hit ESC, the only thing I can do is move the in game cursor. It is being run on a windows machine yes. I'm not too sure what else I can provide? Happy to record from my end if that helps you? (Sorry that was probably not very useful feedback!)
There is a bug if you have the hard headed card you can spam slam at the door even if it's unlocked to heal infinitely. But besides that great game 10/10 would recommend to deck builder enjoyers
I have found another glitch were if you upgrade the sythe it dosent show it on the card description. Just wanted to tell inform you about the bug. also do you have a shroom and gloom discord?
j'ai eu un bug avec une carte qui soigne et je suis mort en même temps qu'avoir eu l'effet, cela m'a dit que le combat était terminer mais les monstrès étaient encore là et je suis juste passer a travers
Absolutely awesome game, I recently found the Game Jame version and loved it so I was amped to see this released. I would snap up a full version in a heartbeat.
There have been a few bugs (as expected for a prototype, so I don't mean that negatively) but I just beat the Gloom and ran all the way to the end and I can't draw a hand or play a card or anything at the red locked door. I can't tell if this is an intentional end point or not. Usually there'd be a message if that was the end of a demo/prototype so I wasn't sure if this was a glitch.
Same here, I enjoyed a lot the prototype but was kinda confused with that door. The shroom key was the only thing drawn in front of the locked door before the hallway with the actual red lock, so i used it and by that last door had nothing to use.
it's so fun ! a fan since the game jam version. Very laggy on my laptop without gpu after 10ish rooms. I would love some graphical options for low end machines. I had a bug a dozen rooms into the run : i bashed a lock but the door wouldn't open. sad
Thanks so much for playing, and for the comment! Awesome that you've been following us since the jam version!
You have graphic options in your menu! The game actually looks really cool at lower resolutions, and very clean with ambient occlusion turned off. Will run HEAPS better with those adjustments.
Please let us know how that works, or if you're still having performance issues!
Very nice Game, finally a completely new Rogue-Like. I love the mix of the Exploration Cards and the Combat cards. Some bugs ofc, but a nice view of the Game. Game is mostly fluent on an RTX 3070 Ti and no freezes, crashes etc. Art Style is also stunningly beautiful. I'm really looking forward on the 1.0 Version and a Steam version in the Future.
Woah, what an awesome comment to receive! Thank you for playing, and for encouraging us to keep going!
Great to hear that you like the game so much, and that it's running smoothly on your side. Our programmer put a huge amount of effort into optimization, so he'll be very happy to hear that the game ran well on your end!
Thank you for the heads up - we're looking into this! If we can figure out what might have happened, we will have it patched with a new version up soon! Please check back in!
Thank you so much! I think you were playing on the first version we uploaded? We found it was crazy hard, so our latest update made the game a little less punishing! Hope you have better luck on future runs!

Thanks! Are you saying that changing the file extension fixed the black screen issue?
Yes, it did for me. (I used WinRAR to unpack as I seen other people who used 7-zip did not have this problem)

Tried PC version
Got to 'Loading' before going black screen
Hiya! We are awesome of this issue for some players - hoping to have it sorted in future updates!
*aware
Mac os version is buggy, I get a black screen on starting game. I hear background music but nothing just a black screen and the green mouse icon
Thanks so much for the heads up! We're looking into this and will upload an update for Mac soon!

Thank you so much! We've worked super hard on getting the game to this point - it means the world to us getting feedback like this!
We're only going to be making this thing more awesome. Thanks for the encouragement!
okay so idk if i hit a limit or i got too many images in but i cant post my comment with everything, so ill try to reach out through discord

Hi! Thanks for checking the prototype out, and sorry to hear about this issue you're having.
We've not heard of anyone else having this issue in the past - sounds really weird. If you hit ESC does it bring up the menu?
Are you running the game on a Windows machine? Could you give us any other details that might help us figure out what might be causing this issue?
Sorry again to hear about this, but thanks for letting us know. Hope we can resolve this issue for you!

Hey! Not to hijack this response, but i'm actually having the exact same issue :/
There is a bug if you have the hard headed card you can spam slam at the door even if it's unlocked to heal infinitely. But besides that great game 10/10 would recommend to deck builder enjoyers
Thanks for the encouraging comment! So glad you're having such a good time with the game!
We are aware of this multi-bash issue, but thank you very much for reporting this. Hoping we'll have this issue fixed in our next update.
Haooy shrooming!
I have found another glitch were if you upgrade the sythe it dosent show it on the card description. Just wanted to tell inform you about the bug. also do you have a shroom and gloom discord?

disabling ambiant occlusion did the trick !

Thanks again for the lovely comment!
I would like to play, but after loading there is a black screen(
same issue, mine just crashed after the loading screen (windows 11, 23H2, OS build 22631.4112)
Thank you for the heads up - we're looking into this! If we can figure out what might have happened, we will have it patched with a new version up soon! Please check back in!
In the mean time you can try run the build with the command line arguments -force-d3d12. eg.
We just pushed a new build that should resolve this issue for anyone that struggled with the black screen. Have fun!
Cool, everything works
Wooooo! Our programmer will be so happy to hear he can take the rest of the weekend off!
Thank you again for the heads up - hope you have a great time with the game!
This game is so cool!!! I thought I was OP but then I got smacked down by some big mushies XD time to try again.
Thank you so much! I think you were playing on the first version we uploaded? We found it was crazy hard, so our latest update made the game a little less punishing! Hope you have better luck on future runs!
For fans of Slay the Spire, and Inscrytion, this is a no brainer! It adds new twists to the genre as well.
Thank you so much! Let's hope more roguelike deckbuilders will discover the game!
Awesome game!!! Loving this game so far, Inspiring buff feels a little too op
Thank you so much! Glad your enjoying the game so far!
Did you find the Inspired buff on enemies too challenging?
This looking amazing so far. I love the visuals! looking forward to the game being expanded.
Thank you so much! We have so many exciting plans for adding to the game in the future!
Top-notch deckbuilder tightly packed with a lot of depth and encrusted with shroomy atmosphere!
Thanks for supporting the project over the years Francois!
10/10 Gloomiest release of 2024. More mushies please!
