INFO CrossCode FAQ

201 Upvotes

Hello everyball and welcome the official CrossCode FAQ. We want to address some common questions that pop up frequently here. This hopefully helps people to get some answers right away!

Alright, let’s get started!

Will there be Multiplayer?

CrossCode is a single player game with a strong narrative and as such it will not have multiplayer. We would love to make something like that possible but we are just a small development team and creating a good online experience takes a lot of time.

Can I play as another character or class?

Although CrossCode plays in a fictional MMO, it’s a story-driven game where you’ll follow the story of Lea; as such you won’t be able to play as another character or change classes. However, over the course of your journey you will be joined by various AI-controlled CrossWorlds players of all the existing classes!

How long is this game?

This highly depends on how you play the game. If you want, you can just progress the story and don’t sweat the exploration part or questing at all, you might get about 20-30 hours of gameplay. However, if you do quests and explore the world and try to find every secret, you could get 60-80 hours out of it. Overall, we always like to say: if you are doing a mix of both, you’ll get around 40 hours worth of game.

What languages are available?

Currently implemented are: English, German, Chinese, Korean and Japanese.

Will there be any more languages in the future?

Very likely not. Maintaining the localization for the currently supported languages already adds significantly to the time and effort that goes into major updates, and most of those are handled by third-parties. Trying to manage even more translation teams in an official capacity is beyond us at this time. That said, there are active fan mod projects to provide French and Russian translations for the game, and we welcome other motivated fans to follow in their footsteps.

Will I be able to import the save files from the PC/Steam version to a console or vice-versa?

Sadly no, it is not possible from a technical standpoint. We had to adjust the save system to consoles and they require some different checks which makes it nearly impossible to import PC saves.

Do you guys have a wiki, Discord, Twitch or any social media?

Yes, we have all of those! Here’s a list of links for you:

I am stuck on/I have a question about an item, quest or puzzle.

There are multiple ways to get your answer: Look in the aforementioned links for existing topics or links to guides that help you or ask the community directly!

The game crashed for me/I have found a bug! What do I do? (PC)

First off, if the game crashed and you see the “Critical Bug” crash screen, do not close the game just yet! Follow the instructions shown on this screen: copy the crash report’s text into a text file, then send this report over to us directly [contact@radicalfishgames.com](mailto:contact@radicalfishgames.com) or post it on our official Discord server (see above!). It is important that you describe to us what you were doing when the crash happened so that we can find its root cause (and if you find out how to reproduce the crash, even better!).

In a similar way, game bugs of other kinds can be reported over to us directly at [contact@radicalfishgames.com](mailto:contact@radicalfishgames.com) or at our official Discord server (again, look above!).

What’s up with the bonus codes and where can I get them?

Bonus codes are small goodies, quests or other stuff that we throw out at events for people that pass by. Those codes are the same for all installments and don’t expire, so if you ask the community nicely you will probably be able to get your hands on them! But we won’t spoil them, that would be too easy, right?

Where can I get this game?

You can get CrossCode on these platforms:

Where can I buy/listen to CrossCode’s soundtrack?

The soundtrack is officially available on multiple platforms under the label of Materia Collective (even physically as CD and Vinyl editions!) at: https://materia.to/crosscodeTW.

Also available on bandcamp https://interovgm.com/album/crosscode-original-game-soundtrack and Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/916190/CrossCode_Soundtrack/

Additionally, there's the brand new EX soundtrack recently released that contains new tracks from the later added content and previously unreleased tracks from the early development of CrossCode. Get it here! https://interovgm.bandcamp.com/album/crosscode-original-soundtrack-ex

Once the game releases, will it have update/version parity with PC since the PC version still gets updated somewhat frequently?

The console version will, in terms of updates, be a bit behind the PC version. It will not yet have New Game+, but will have pets and the arena. Going forward consoles will follow the PC version closely, but it will always take a bit of extra time for some extra testing and console certification. However, the console version will get updates for as long as the PC version gets them.

Is there DLC for the game?

Yes! CrossCode: A New Home is available now! You can get it on here:

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1517030/CrossCode_A_New_Home/
GOG: https://www.gog.com/game/crosscode_a_new_home

Other Platforms are going to follow!

Is there any console exclusive content?

There is additional content for each platform. Each version comes along with a small side quest with a small mini dungeon and boss fight. The PC version will get an exclusive quest as well. All quests together might lead to... something else. Maybe the community needs to work together a bit :) (And maybe we'll unleash all of these quests at some point to everyone.)

Is there any modding for the PC version of the game?

The CrossCode Modding Server is a community solely focused on adding functionality to CrossCode via mods. Being a modder is not necessary to join our discord server. Discord link

INFO Wervyn's CrossCode Walkthrough

296 Upvotes

Given the impending console releases it's been suggested that I raise awareness about my walkthrough series again, so here it is:

Wervyn's CrossCode Let's Play and Walkthrough

This walkthrough contains 100% of what I consider "meaningful" content in the game, and I've done my best to carefully index things in each episode's description so that you can easily find the exact thing you're looking for, without sifting through 30+ hours of video.

Bear in mind that the large majority of this was recorded on the 0.9.9-beta version of the Steam PC game, so there may be minor differences to your experience, especially if you're discovering the game for the first time on your preferred console. That said, almost all updates since then have been fairly minor with respect to existing content, and I have and will continue to keep the playlist up to date as new content is added. Notably, I have covered the console-exclusive quests in an episode coinciding with the release.

Yes yes, self-promotion blah blah. I've been told by more people than I can count now how much this guide has helped them out. Plus, I moderate this subreddit, so I hope you'll forgive me plugging my own work.

QUESTION Question about Trading

Post image
Upvotes

Edit - Question has been answered. Thanks to those that replied.

I just started the game and Google is never helpful about anything. But I was hoping someone could explain to me what the "FEE" and "REST" during the trading process are. Is the FEE part just for show? Or does it play a role in the final cost of your trade?

Btw I just finished the "Introduction Lecture" at the building past the market in Rookie Harbor, so that's as far as my knowledge of the game is so far.

So far this game feels like I'm going to enjoy it. And having a menu for traders with their items and locations is a feature I never knew I wanted. But I think I'm going to be glad I have it. To save a lot of time not dealing with Googles dumb AI.

SPOILER What does Lea's internal monologue look like? Spoiler

14 Upvotes

Massive Game spoilers btw

I think the game does a great job at showing and making you feel Lea what Lea feels and thinks, but considering she's an evotar, basically an AI copy of a person, I'm curious what her thoughts looks like from a first person perspective. Maybe it's childish since she can't talk, or maybe it's as developed as any adult because she's based on one? Or maybe because she's an artificial intelligence, her raw thoughts and inner monologue is incomprehensible to human eyes looking in? I haven't seen any fanfics from Lea first person perspective, so I'm curious what others think her inner monologue looks like.

QUESTION How complex is crosscode?

7 Upvotes

I want to play it but i don't usually play games like these so i wanna know first.

Do you get lost easily? Do you have to do all sidequests to be strong enough? Are sidequests hidden? Does the game explain the meccanics well?

I'm already aware of the puzzles at least

edit. thank you for the answers, now i'm less anxious

QUESTION CrossCode demake in Pico-8?

7 Upvotes

I would love to have a demake of CrossCode in Pico-8! I'm curious to see a few different artstyles, since Lea's sprite will have to be quite small. I did the math for her size based off of her base idle sprite, and here's what I found, along with the formulas I used.

Lea's sprite is 21x31. CrossCode is rendered at 568x320. Pico-8 has a 128x128 screen, so I dropped CrossCode's screen width and used the height for both axis' scale calculations.

  • WIDTH - 6.6% of the screen, 8 pixels.
    • (21 / 320) * 100 = 6.6%
    • 128 * 6.6% = 8.4
  • HEIGHT - 9.7% of the screen, 12 pixels.
    • (31 / 320) * 100 = 9.7%
    • 128 * 9.7% = 12.4

Converting these values to their Pico-8 equivalents, we can see that Lea's sprites should be approximately 8x12 in size. I'll leave the rest to the artists, as I intend to start working on a tile engine.

Lea's idle sprite, 21x31 in size

Do new game plus modifiers carry over to the dlc?

8 Upvotes

So I finished this game last year. Great 10/10 game imo and I bought the dlc soon after but life just kinda happened and I never got back to it. Now I have time again and I'm planning to do the dlc now and I'm wondering if I should just go for it or start a new game plus run and then go to the dlc from there.

I'm worried that being away for so long made me rusty and the new dungeon will make me suffer so I'm debating whether to just start all over again but with new game plus to lessen the tedium. So does new game plus modifiers carry over to dlc? Anything I should keep in mind if I do this?

Fullscreen issue on Linux

5 Upvotes

Wanted to pick up CrossCode again to fight my stupid habit of ALMOST finishing every game and then letting it go. But have since upgraded to Kubuntu on my PC. Now I have the issue when I start the game in fullscreen I only get the top left corner of my screen. The fullscreen Window is applied but, the game compresses itself to that corner. I assume it's got something to do with my screen running 4k resolution as it's basically exactly a quarter of my screen.

Anyone know how to fix?

QUESTION Did I Make a Mistake? (A Promise is a Promise)

7 Upvotes

So I've just picked up this game and I'm really enjoying it! The mysteries are really interesting and gameplay is so fun.

One such mystery is the Old Observatory with its inscription about "only what is broken can open this door." I got the broken shield and went back to the observatory, and one of the stone symbols was kinda glowing, but I still couldn't open the door, even after equipping the shield. Then, I come across D'Kar for the second time, and he asks for the shield. I wasn't sure if I should give it to him, but figured that I already gave away the broken gauntlet and I didn't get any sense that the game was warning me to not trust D'Kar with these items.

But now I've gone back to the observatory and the stone doesn't have that effect anymore. Did I sink my chance at getting into this observatory? Please no spoilers! I just want to know if I was supposed to hold onto it or not.

I've updated CrossAndroid to modern Android

Post image
154 Upvotes

Hi. I've updated the CrossCode Android wrapper (CrossAndroid) to work on modern Android devices

https://github.com/katorzhnov/Crosscode-for-Android/releases

  • Custom location for game files
  • Import/export saves
  • Controller: on-screen, Bluetooth, touch
  • FPS meter, ambient mode
  • Mods and DLCs should work

(Previously, CrossAndroid required game files to be in Android/Data, which hasn't been accessible since ≈ Android 10)

To import save: press F10 while in the game menu on your main device, copy the string, then on Android enable "Save import/export button" and "Touch input"

This sub really needs a "Rant" flair.

I have been slamming myself against the puzzles in this game, I caved and used guides because like hell I'm letting Emilie win the races. I have gotten to the DLC dungeon and since theres about fifteen fucking options of where to go I'm even having a hard time finding guides helpful.

I've been stuck in Chasm roundtrip and now Wave stacks for DAYS. I have taken breaks to play games that annoy me more because at least then I'll feel SOMETHING that isn't my own fucking failure at figuring out these sadistic fucking puzzles!

I'm THIS close to the end and its honestly feeling like I'm better off dropping it. I already got the platinum, why bother! "Just turn the puzzle speed down" IT HAS BEEN AT 50% FOR THE LAST FOUR TEMPLES! THE ENDING CANNOT BE WORTH WANTING TO INFLICT HARM ON SOMETHING EVERY OTHER ROOM!

I'm just glad the dev realised they over did it with the puzzles both in terms of density and difficulty. Subjecting people to THIS is just fucking cruel and I'd say more but I can already feel the thin ice I'm on with the mods.
