Thanks + Some pending bug fixes


Hi all,

Just want to start by saying a huge thank you to everyone who has played the game so far. Its been amazing hearing folks comments on reddit, twitter, discord and here on itch. Its one of the first times my work has reached an audience in any major way and its just so heartwarming. I know that ~150 plays isn't much in the grand scheme of gaming but its orders of magnitude more than my work has ever gotten in the past and its been such a ray of sunshine while a little overwhelmed with deadlines.

Fortunately, as of the end of today, those deadlines will be passed. This means I can get to work fixing a couple of bugs that have cropped up. Expect these to be sorted by roughly the end of this week.

  • The credits currently list the game as being made in Twine 3.0 but that isn't actually an existing version of Twine. It should have read version 3.0 of Harlowe (the version of Twine I was using)
  • On some systems the credits don't fade in properly. Originally the credits were supposed to fade in after a few seconds on any of the three endings, but there seems to be a bug where clicking on the interface in any way stops that code from running. A work around for this without undercutting the emotional space of those final screens is tricky to find, but I'm optimistic.
  • Audio doesn't appear to be working on Firefox for mac. This issue is more complicated to fix since it involves Harlowe Audio Library, a chunky bit of external software that I'm no expert in. I cant promise a solution soon but its on my radar.
  • The scroll bar was missing on some devices with smaller screens. This was actually a problem with the settings on itch itself and should already be fixed.

And that's about it! Any other bugs just give me a shout and ill try to get to work on them.

I'd also like to return my friend Casey's favor by shouting out her recent release Why You Fell. We both helped each other out on testing for these projects and I'm really excited to play the full thing.

You can find Why You Fell here: https://caseyjay.itch.io/why-you-fell

Other than that I just wish the best for anyone going through uni deadline hell right now, we'll be free soon.
-June
