Community and support

Where to ask for help, how to report a game that does not work, and how to collect the logs a report needs.

Empo is one person’s spare-time project. There is no support desk. There is a Discord server, a GitHub issue tracker, and a maintainer who reads both.

Ask on Discord

The Empo Discord is the fastest place for a question. Other players have often seen the same game fail and know the fix. Search the channel before you ask.

Report a game on GitHub

Open an issue on GitHub when a game crashes, renders wrong, or refuses to start. One issue per game. Include:

• The game title and the game version.
• The Empo version, from Settings → About.
• Your device and iOS version.
• What you did, what you expected, and what happened.
• The log file, collected as described below.

A report with a log is fixed in days. A report without one usually waits for the maintainer to find the game and reproduce it.

Collect the logs

1. Go to Settings → Advanced, and turn on Debug logs. Empo removes the older logs at the start of each session.
2. Start the game, and repeat the steps that fail.
3. Open the Files app, go to On My iPhone → Empo, and share the newest log file. Attach it to the issue, or post it on Discord.

Suggest a feature

Open an issue with the word “idea” in the title. Say what you want to do, not how Empo should do it.

Contribute code

Read CONTRIBUTING.md for the build requirements and the pull request rules. How it works gives the architecture in one page. Game compatibility reports and engine bridge work help the most.
