Hello, the game is great but the save-function does not work, when i click save (after new name given) nothing happens, and in the load menu there is no entry either, and i cant close the loading menu, too..
Hello, can you please give me more details which part of the saving process is not working? If you could join our discord that had be great there I can help you better :)

I can confirm the load menu has no exit button. You can close it by hitting 'Escape' as with every other menu in the game though. In the new update the load menu will have a close button as well to avoid confusion, thanks for reporting this!
is there a saving system since whenever i log back on all my progress is gone and it can take hours to get back
Sure there is! Press 'Escape' while being in the game and click on "SAVE AND LOAD". In this menu you can name your saves as well as load previous saves. As long as your on the newest version there also should be an autosave.
When restarting the game you need to click on "Start Game" and after that you will land in a new empty world. Press "Escape" and click on "SAVE AND LOAD". Now you will be able to load your old save by double clicking the save name. Hope it helps :)
In the new update I will add the option to load a save directly from the main menu. Sorry for the inconvenience! If you have any further problems or feedback don't hesitate to contact me here or on our Discord: https://discord.gg/nY3f7BT
Update: It is now possible to load your previous saves both from the main menu as well when already being ingame.
Great game
Can you add the Italian language?
Update: Avani now supports six different languages including Italian :) You can change the language settings in the "Options" menu.
Suggestion: Add the Spanish language. Very good game ^^/
Thank you very much for the kind words and glad that you enjoyed playing Avani! As much as we would love to add multi language support we sadly have to admit that we just don't have the resources for that unless we put back other features we are working on at the moment. We have so many ideas that we want to add and multi language support is definitely one of those but this will probably not happen any time soon due to other features being our priority.

Loved the game and hope to see more on it in the future =D
Thank you very much for spending the time to share your first impressions of playing Avani! Very entertaining video and definitely doing a goob job on portraying what gameplay of Avani is like :)
Gotta edit it first but have a vid im uploading tonight/tomorrow of this game, loved it and left a follow =) when it is up will edit this post add the link =)
It hink I've run into a bug. i started over and went to add a stone to make an axe but it wont create it. I add the stone and I press to make the axe but it doesn't make it. I tried starting over a 3rd time and the same thing happened.
Hello Selexa,
thanks for taking your time to report a bug! I tried reproducing the issue you described, but I couldn't spot any issues with the crafting. This is what I did: I gathered a stone and branches. Then I crafted myself some fiber and learned the "Tools" skill and selected the axe. After dragging a stone on the red question mark as well as fiber on the next question mark I was able to learn the recipe. After double clicking the axe preview I crafted the Axe without issues. Did you do something differently or did I misunderstood your issue? On our store page you can see this video showing the process, which part is not working for you?
I hope my description and this video can help narrow down the issue! Thanks for playing our game and hopefully there won't be any further issues!
Have a great day :)
thank you, i think I might have been missing a step.
Don't hesitate to contact us again if you have any suggestions or encounter any further issues! By the way we added a video to the ingame tutorial to make it easier to understand for other new players.
Have fun playing Avani :)
I have a small suggestion because this was confusing not knowing this. Please show in a number how many skill points we have to spend. It keeps telling me I've gained some (4 I think) but it wont let me take the campfire thing. It shows 2 in red for that circle so I thought I had enough. Maybe I'm miss understanding how it works. Help please.
Hello Selexa,
we hope you still had fun playing Avani despite the issue that you described. We appreciate that you took your time to give us feedback :).
There are two types of skill nodes. Categories and the ones that you need to craft recipes like the campfire. When you craft something you gain skillpoints for the category the recipe is part of. When you want to learn a new recipe you can only use the earned skillpoints in that category and not from different categories. Often you will not be able to learn a recipe completely but just put like one point into it. As soon as you did that you can go to the crafting menu and select the recipe that you spent a point into it. You can now try to guess the remaining ingredients by dragging them into the red questionmark area.
We get that this might be confusing but we are trying our best to improve upon the tutorial to make this easier to understand.
If you're unable to learn a recipe despite having skill points in the category the recipe is part of then the reason for that is, that a different recipe needs to be learned first. There is no message (yet!) that tells you this. It will just obstruct you from learning the recipe.
Sorry, if that caused the confusing!
The red number on a recipe indeed tells you the amount of missing skill points/ingredients.
We hope you still enjoyed Avani and we could help with the confusion :) Feel free to join our discord to chat with us directly and have a great day!
thank you.
cooles Konzept. hoffe es kommen noch mehr Inhalte XD
Fun little game. Looking forward to further updates!
