I have no relevant knowledge about publishing indie games (or any sort of game), but as a consumer I am very unhappy with itch. I actually think the leviathan Steam is better. As said, dunno and don't presume to give advice, but would it be a good idea to host the game there (for free)?
Good game so far, can't find fault with anything. The grind is manageable due to well designed anti-grind mechanics. Looking forward to further updates.
Lezdom sixploitation... why not?! Love the game, thx for sharing for free. But is there a way to switch off the minigames you have to complete to get rid of collars etc?
The game remains responsive and keeps established TCP connections to Ollama on 127.0.0.1:11434.
Ollama and the model remain fully responsive.
I enabled OLLAMA_DEBUG_LOG_REQUESTS=1 and captured the exact failing /api/chat request.
The request JSON is valid. Replaying the exact same request manually with curl returns HTTP 200 and a complete response in about 7.8 seconds with done:true and done_reason:"stop".
So the request itself is valid and Ollama can answer it. The issue appears to be in the game's handling of the Ollama response or the request lifecycle, not in system load, Ollama availability, or the model.
If you want, I can e-mail you a detailed bug report.
Clean boot tested with third-party services/startups disabled. The issue still occurs.
Ollama process is running and port 11434 is reachable.
The game process remains responsive and keeps established TCP connections to 127.0.0.1:11434.
ollama ps shows the model loaded on 100% GPU.
GPU load is about 92%, VRAM usage about 8.7/16.3 GB, temperature about 61°C.
While the in-game chatbot is stuck, a separate ollama run request to the same model answers immediately.
So Ollama and the model are still responsive; the failure seems to be specific to the game request/response handling rather than system load or third-party software.
This is one of these games that would be super awesome... if they'd just work. No matter what I do, at some point in every run the chat just stops responding. The graphics and the music continue to loop but Babs just falls silent. And no, it's not my PC, I got 32 GB RAM and a GeForce RTX 5080.
If the dev manages to make it stable, I'll come back to it and happily pay (love the quiz), but in the current state: hard pass.
