Is there no way in 2.0 to get back two oracle buttons per row? I play with ultrawide screen and it was a lot less scrolling to find oracles before 2.0. Maybe make the window draggable left/right?
This app seems great to me. I will try the demo, because it seems to be what I was looking for. Just a curiosity: in "more information" there is the Italian language, but inside the program it is not. Will it be added in the future?
Unfortunately yes marketplaces are not linked. If you are on MacOS, it applies for iOS across your devices. Same for Android it would work for all Google devices. But separate for Windows/Linux. This is a single time purchase so this is how I could sustain this project.
One of the very few Solo playing apps on the market (and available on most platforms!). PUMC is not a Virtual Tabletop and does not want to be - it offers a very different, yet focused and versatile experience. You do not need to be a Solo TTRPG player at all to utilize it well - it is perfect for planning, world building and writing stories without the gaming aspect, too. The beautiful and customizeable layout makes for a comfy integration to keep you in a flow, spinning up new stories without interruptions.
At the core, PUMC is all about giving you the tools to easily write your Solo TTRPG story. It has everything needed to play a game system solo, coming with all the rules of the curent Unfolding Machines (PUM, SUM and GUM!) to emulate a Gamemasters decisions.
The options for managing world truths&events, characters and locations make it very easy to check up on your world building, switching characters to speak as is easy and comfortable and of course you can roll dice as well.
Concerning Updates, they are fast, frequent and bring new and useful features with every iteration. JV listens to his community keenly and you can give feedback and get involved as well (on Discord). For example, users requested custom tables and a tutorial for the oracles - both have been added in record time.
Indeed, it is lovely to find out that the app can do much more than what it was originally designed for, we'll be paying attention to which road it leads :) Stay tuned for 2.0!
Bought it from apple store, tested it, looks great, although without previous experience with unfolding machines that could be a bit steeper learning curve, an in app tutorial of sorts could help. But otherwise a great helper app for my games, and it is a way quicker option than the paper versions I used previously.
Thank you so very much for dropping a comment! Please pay attention to the next release 1.11.x, there are some improvements on the way for a better first-time experience and engagement, but will keep improving it over time. Glad you liked it, and happy new year!
Hello Antonio! Thanks for checking this out. Yes, the app has a "Save game to file" option, you can load this ".pum" file from any system where you have the app.
Thank you. I know that, but it forces me to be exporting and importing, and if I ever forget and resume with an unsynced game, then we have the trouble… 😅
Nothing important. I was just checking.
I bought it on itch.io but the MacOs release is only via the App Store at the moment will that change or should I also buy it in the App Store? (Then you should probably update the description above "itch.io version is ONLY for Windows, MacOS, Linux")
Hello, you are right, this was a recent change (for the better). Sorry for the inconvenience. Send me a message on Discord and we'll get it sorted out :) - Apple Store is one purchase for MacOS and iOS.
As a fan of your generators, I'm really jazzed to try this out!
I have a question/request: Is it practical to build an AArch64 version for Debian? I could probably run that in my Chromebook's Linux environment, which would be super cool.
hey there! Thanks for checking this out. I still don't know, if Steam Store is viable, then I would potentially replace this version with Steam and give free keys. Plan B is Steam gets expensive then I would support both itch and steam versions in parallel under separate licenses.
Alright, I'll wait and see. I have two more questions: owning the original PUM is necessary to use this software and will the IOS version be released for free (with an hypotetical optional upgrade) or paid only?
Sure. 1. The Apps don't include all the information and explanation of the PUM pdf rules, but it is not necessary. 2. iOS version will be available in the Appple Store, so it will be a separate paid version from the one here in itch for the PC/Mac.
Great work Jeansen! I’ve only taken a quick look at it but I haven’t seen any bugs yet (Linux version). There are a few typos that I will highlight tonight on your Discord. Looking forward to dark mode as that’s my thing 😁. Honestly I didn’t think I would use it because I have a work flow I like but I’m impressed at how quickly you can set up a game from scratch!
Thank you crinklechips for your kind words! Happy to hear any feedback :) Would love to hear what is in your workflow and learn from each other, eventually this app can integrate and export stories outside too.
Hello! Super thanks, as fresh as new, things are coming up steady but slowly, some things probably rough on the edges at first. I am currently testing the Linux version, I expect it to be ready by tomorrow (testing on Ubuntu 22)
I had to upgrade to 22.04 from 20.04. Took a while but worth it File search in Nemo (my most used features) is significantly enhanced. And now I can use PUM Companion.

thanks for the feedback, indeed it is a bit of an aesthetical decision, on how fat oracles looked like and how intimidating they felt to new users.
Will keep this in mind, but at the moment no it is not resizable
Cheers

Hello saevorn thank you for your interest.
The DEMO is very very old so I will take it down soon. The Italian and newest features are in the current version of the app.
Best regards
Are separate purchases required for the desktop app and the mobile app, or is there some way to "activate" one after purchasing the other?
Hello nxjohnson, thanks for the interest.

Hope you enjoy it!!
Thanks for the reply!

i will love it if this worked with a chat bot that learn of your previus "campaings" and giving a rol to the characters you made or import.
obviously, i know it can be done separately but its a lot of work.
Maybe one day! why not :)
It's an amazing app and worth any penny!
Jaensen is currentyl in a developing run :D
Yeeeees, I need to catch up with sleep :) :) Thank you!!
Hi, Jaensen, Congratulations! One question: will it be possible to sync the data between the desktop apps and the mobile apps, somehow? Antonio
Hello Antonio! Thanks for checking this out. Yes, the app has a "Save game to file" option, you can load this ".pum" file from any system where you have the app.
Good! Thank you.
You can use a tool like SyncThing to do this too
Thank you. I know that, but it forces me to be exporting and importing, and if I ever forget and resume with an unsynced game, then we have the trouble… 😅 Nothing important. I was just checking.

I have a question/request: Is it practical to build an AArch64 version for Debian? I could probably run that in my Chromebook's Linux environment, which would be super cool.
Thanks so much!! I will add this point to the backlog, it would be great if it worked in chromebooks
Just a question: if you buy the itch.io version of the program, will you eventually receive a Steam Key for the future Steam version?
hey there! Thanks for checking this out. I still don't know, if Steam Store is viable, then I would potentially replace this version with Steam and give free keys. Plan B is Steam gets expensive then I would support both itch and steam versions in parallel under separate licenses.

Love your work. I am tempted to buy this and try under Wine as I prefer my Linux system. How soon until the Linux version is released?
Hello! Super thanks, as fresh as new, things are coming up steady but slowly, some things probably rough on the edges at first. I am currently testing the Linux version, I expect it to be ready by tomorrow (testing on Ubuntu 22)
How do I install under Linux? The pum file is not recognized as an executable or batch file and it is not recognized by software installer.
Hello! Hopefully soon I will package this software in .deb and .rpm
For the time being, you would need to make pum binary file executable with chmod +x and then run it (double click or from terminal)
I had to upgrade to 22.04 from 20.04. Took a while but worth it File search in Nemo (my most used features) is significantly enhanced. And now I can use PUM Companion.
Oh! Glad to hear, 20.04 was certainly too old, also good for safety not to be so behind! I hope you like the app!!
