1.30.xx doesn't add anything new gameplay-wise, and the crash issue wasn't a factor on iOS or Steam. So those platforms will remain at 1.29 for now. I have some plans for 1.31 though. :)

Alright, v1.30.01 should be rolling out to Android shortly. Adds the HW acceleration toggle to Settings, which should let those experiencing crashes at least play the game. #indiegame #mahjong #appDev

The video of the issue involved the tester leaving my app and browsing random apps on the app store before the crash occurred. I couldn't reproduce it, but it seemed like an edge case. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Made a new build and submitted that for review, hopefully this will go through.

And Google just rejected my update for some reason. :/

(Obviously I'd like to fix it without disabling hardware acceleration, but this is something to at least make the game functional in the meantime while I try to find a workaround to the underlying issue...)

Implemented a "Hardware Acceleration" toggle to the Settings dialog on the Android version of the app. v1.30 should be available to testers soon, then to all. Pixel 8 users *should* be able to disable HW acceleration and play the game successfully. Better than crashes, anyway.

All I can figure out so far is it crashes on a Pixel 8 if hardware acceleration is enabled in the app - it's fine if it's disabled. Which means... it's definitely a hardware problem, but I can't figure out a workaround so far... :/

Found I can test the app on a real Pixel 8 without having to buy one outright, but for a modest monthly fee using BrowserStack. Yay? So I ran it on a Pixel 8 and indeed ran into the crashing issues. Boo. Trying to get to the bottom of it. No luck yet. Will keep fighting. :P

Early tests don't sound promising. Grr. I may cave in and try to buy a Pixel 8 to test with or something. :/

Made a new build that changes the "Ron/Tsumo" and "Riichi" animations again, in hopes it'll behave on the Pixel 8 series devices. Kinda grasping at straws here. I know it works - but poorly - with hardware acceleration disabled. Sent to beta track for testing.

Not sure if it's completely resolved the issues, unfortunately. But it's hard to tell if people are completing every step on the page linked ("Uninstall Updates" is the most important one). Hmm.

I have released v1.29.01 for Android devices, which uses the latest Android libraries and should (hopefully!) resolve issues with the game crashing on some devices. Please also follow the steps at: cyberdog.ca/kemono-mahjo... ! :)

Thanks. I'm still trying to troubleshoot it. Are you on Telegram by chance? (can reach me there at @/cyborgk9).

If you're experiencing crashes in the game - especially on Pixel 8 series devices - please try the following: cyberdog.ca/kemono-mahjo...

I think many are missing the "uninstall updates" step.

I won't be able to work much on the app for a couple of weeks: I'll be in Japan as of Friday. It's a trip I've wanted to make for years. Maybe I'll get to play some mahjong in person, too. :) I have some ideas on what to add to the app next, however. :)

I need to somehow get my hands on a Pixel 8 Pro to try troubleshooting the problems some people seem to be having with the app on it... but it's expensive and my Pixel 7a works great... :/

v1.28.50 is rolling out for Steam and Android, and should hopefully be approved by Apple for iOS shortly too.

Fixed a scoring bug that could give "Under the Sea" *and* "After a Kan/Replacement Tile" at the same time (now only the latter is scored).

Hmm, yeah... I'm not too sure how to get around that with this sound library, but I'll keep looking. Might just be a different flag I can use to avoid it.

v1.27.03 for Android has been submitted to Google - brings back the ability to play streaming audio from other apps, which accidentally got lost with the previous build (sorry!). Should hopefully be approved soon.

Or maybe a selection of new avatar characters that could be selected from for Online mode? (maybe not new voices, but you could choose the new character and "adopted voice" from the existing cast?) If so, what new characters would you like to see?

Thanks for supporting an indie app developer. :)

Trying to decide what to implement next. Maybe a mode without hand-holding? ie. You could chombo for invalid Riichi calls or the like? Open for suggestions.
