It's insanly laggy. It takes five minutes to open and switch between scenes. The charactor creating didn't work. My computer is now also lagging after I downloaded it.
I was so excited when I found this game so I downloaded it on my mac. Shortly after downloading it and opening it a screen appeared saying: "The Application Orphan Age Demo Can't Be Opened." I was wondering if you could find out why its doing this. I even dragged it to my desktop and it still didn't work. Thank you though for creating this wonderful game!
I found your game while scrolling through Itch.io and I've taken quite an interest in your game and was wondering if its possible to make a video out of your game? I'd like to show your game to other people.
Really enjoying the demo, if I had any gripes it's with the interface. Mechanics and gameplay feel good, but just navigating the interface feels a bit tricky, colour schemes seem to vanish into some areas and the overall size feels like it might benefit from being larger. Minor gripes, really.
Interesting concept, but putting a time limit on the demo is pretty annoying for a game that's still in such early development. If you want people to really test out your game, don't kick them out after a short time. Also, it runs pretty laggy on my computer, which should be able to handle these graphics. Had to turn graphics to lower settings to not have severe input lag.

As I commented before you have an amazing game going. I probably could let's play like 100 videos of your game. I won't though as, I don't think anybody but, myself would want to see that! I figured a part 2 would be fine though to showcase some more things in your game and, see how I "explored" with the main orphan called Kian.
Just downloaded the Linux version, running Xubuntu 18.04 with nVidia driver running two nVidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti cards in Xinerama mode. First off, the zip file doesn't open a new game directory, of it's own. It would be better if it did. The two binary files wouldn't execute until I issued: "chmod +x" to the file names. Then it opened right up, after deciding to run the 64bit version, but the mouse wouldn't make anything click to open. The music played just fine. I have 16 gigs of system ram and 8 gigs of total video ram.
Can a log file be generated so I can send it to you?
BTW the mouse cursor works and moves around, it's just that clicking does nothing. Here's what I get on the terminal:
ric@iam:~/Downloads/Orphan$ ./OrphanAgeDemo.x86_64 Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0". Set current directory to /opt/ric/Downloads/Orphan Found path: /opt/ric/Downloads/Orphan/OrphanAgeDemo.x86_64 Mono path[0] = '/opt/ric/Downloads/Orphan/OrphanAgeDemo_Data/Managed' Mono config path = '/opt/ric/Downloads/Orphan/OrphanAgeDemo_Data/Mono/etc' Preloaded 'ScreenSelector.so' Preloaded 'libsteam_api.so' Unable to preload the following plugins: ScreenSelector.so libsteam_api.so Player data archive not found at `/opt/ric/Downloads/Orphan/OrphanAgeDemo_Data/data.unity3d`, using local filesystem Logging to /home/ric/.config/unity3d/Studio Black Flag/Orphan Age/Player.log Killed ric@iam:~/Downloads/Orphan$
This looks really promising. Wonderful aesthetic and a powerful groundwork for something rich and engaging as far as sims go. I was hoping to feature it on my channel but I unfortunaely couldn't play it for more than a few minutes as the icons and text are way too small for me and the game hurts my eyes. If you ever add an update where we can change the size of the hud elements, I'll definitely come back to it but good job so far!
The text background that explains the permanent traits on the character creation screen makes it very difficult to read them at small text sizes and if you have more than four the background behind the text background makes them impossible to read.
Orphan Age is an, amazing game. There is just so many things Studio Black Flag has done right with this game. The graphics and, atmosphere really paint an amazing scene. The dialog from what I played through was thought out and, fit the theme. They took things we know and, love about games like The Sims but, put their own unique twist on it and, made something truly unique. You won't want to put this game down I, know i'm hooked on this game so far!
Hi, im having some trouble with the linux download. first of i cant seem to extract the zip file has it complains about the file not being a valid zip file, and secondly (probably the reason for the first issue) the size of the linux zip file is only 19.8 MiB while the windows version is 613 MiB.
Right now im downloading the windows version and seeing if i can make it work through wine because the game looks great. ^_^
So with the 64bit, everything is all cool at the beginning until I get to the customization screen and start clicking around, everything crashes. I then try the 34bit, and I can't even get to the tutorial/no tutorial screen before it crashes.
Hey guys there is a problem with dowload both on Steam and here - just tried it. Here - after clicking download (win64 and 32) nothing's happening. On Steam - similar. After completing download (0 Kb/s) it says there is a problem with some files. Adblocks are off.
I really enjoyed the game and am looking foward to the full realease. I was just wondering if you were ever planing on making the letters bigger. My screen is pretty small so there were times when I couldn't read.
Hello ! Thank you for playing Orphan Age ! Text size is one of our biggest weakness, lot of people asking us to fix that and we will do ! It's a long work because there's lot of texts in the game and modifying size will transform/change all the interfaces ^^'
Of course we hope that our game will work on as much computers as possible, I think that the demo already works under windows 7-8 but we don't have any computer with win7-8 to test it ^^'
Great game! I really enjoyed it! Survive as an orphan and making your own group. It reminded me of warcraft abit (I know it is not related to the topic). You can have 1 kid do that, and another kid do this. As for the price I'd have to say no as it is still updating, as much as I would want to buy this game, but for now its a no due to the game still updating. Thanks for releasing a demo though, it gave me a insight view of how it is played and I got to experience the gameplay and mechanics of Orphan Age! Good lucky to your team and future update towards the game, I will be looking foward to it :)
Hope you don't mind I made a video on Orphan Age, I just wanted to share my experience and first time playthrough.

This looks good Can't w8 until it's done and not a demo.
It's insanly laggy. It takes five minutes to open and switch between scenes. The charactor creating didn't work. My computer is now also lagging after I downloaded it.
I have Windows 10 and I keep trying to launch the game but it keeps crashing
We just have updated the demo, I hope it works now!
It still isn't working for me. Do you guys have a 32bit download?
Can't download
Is this game still being made?
Hi there!
I was so excited when I found this game so I downloaded it on my mac. Shortly after downloading it and opening it a screen appeared saying: "The Application Orphan Age Demo Can't Be Opened." I was wondering if you could find out why its doing this. I even dragged it to my desktop and it still didn't work. Thank you though for creating this wonderful game!
Hey!
This game is really good, I love it!
I made a youtube video of it, I hope you guys like it!
Will it ever be completed?
Hello

Have a nice day!

Thanks Kimmy! You are 100% free to make a video. We have to update the demo on Itch, it should be live at the end of the day!

very interesting concept and wow AMAZING ARTWORK
hi hi are we closer to public beta yet? :D
Mine downloaded
can't download it on windows 64 bit
I can't download it
Same, i thought it was my computer so i restarted it but it still wont download.
What are you using? Is it Windows or Mac or Linux?
I tried windows and max because my brother wanted this game for his computer as well and he has a mac but when i tried both neither of them worked.
Hey! Sorry I missed your message, we are going to update the demo within 10 days, we'll try to fix the issue ASAP! Sorry for the inconvenience...
I cant download it for windows as well :(

hiya,how is progress? do we have a possible eta?
We still aim to release a public Early Access around February or March, we are in Private Beta with our Kickstarter backers right now. :)

Thank you very much Raithias ! :D
This game is great! Only problem is I get 15-25 fps on minimum quality. Still, its a great game!
Hi ! On which platform are you on, and with which hardware please ?
Im on Windows. It was probably my ram because when I upgraded my ram it fixed the lag
Just downloaded the Linux version, running Xubuntu 18.04 with nVidia driver running two nVidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti cards in Xinerama mode. First off, the zip file doesn't open a new game directory, of it's own. It would be better if it did. The two binary files wouldn't execute until I issued: "chmod +x" to the file names.

Hey ! Thank you for your report, I adding this bug in the bugtracker ;)
Wow! That was quick! Thanks. Ric
the game doesn't work after the create a character page, it just crashes
Outch... Can you tell me your spec please ?
what are specs again sorry
Ahah specs is probably not very english, my bad ^^
What platform are you on and what's your hardware ?
the platform that im on is mac but i don't know where to find my hardware
Damn... we do not have tested it on mac, we only know that for most players on mac it works... Have you tried to lower the settings ?
This looks really promising. Wonderful aesthetic and a powerful groundwork for something rich and engaging as far as sims go. I was hoping to feature it on my channel but I unfortunaely couldn't play it for more than a few minutes as the icons and text are way too small for me and the game hurts my eyes.

Thank you tenchfroast for your kinds words, we're currently fixing texts size, and I hope this will be fixed next week !
The text background that explains the permanent traits on the character creation screen makes it very difficult to read them at small text sizes and if you have more than four the background behind the text background makes them impossible to read.
Hey Raithias ! Thank you very much for your warm support and for this youtube video !

Hey thank you ! I just fixed it, you can now download the linux version ;)
So with the 64bit, everything is all cool at the beginning until I get to the customization screen and start clicking around, everything crashes. I then try the 34bit, and I can't even get to the tutorial/no tutorial screen before it crashes.

Great game! I really enjoyed it! Survive as an orphan and making your own group. It reminded me of warcraft abit (I know it is not related to the topic).
