MAJOR Bug fix!

I am pissed off at myself.

Thanks to ricifidi reporting in a bug about two hours ago, I've become aware of a bug that occurred in the latest patch. The bug happens in the Temple of Truth (the last dungeon in the game) about a third of the way in. Apparently, in my haste to get a fix out, I accidentally left out a switch change that shows a VERY IMPORTANT CUTSCENE!

It's nothing game-breaking or progress-breaking, but good lord is it immersion breaking, which is absolutely unforgivable. I'm so sorry.

If you have Version 1.3, please note that you have an OUTDATED COPY with that bug! I have updated the download to Version 1.31 which contains the fix! Don't worry, it's not the half-assed RTP independent version. Thankfully, I keep unencrypted files of all my previous releases, so it was easy to dive in and fix this issue (don't worry! I playtested it to make sure this works!)

Please download the latest version if you're still going through the game. You can transfer your save files to the latest version with no problems.

I will now find the spikiest, heaviest object in my house and proceed to beat my head with it. If anyone wants to come in with a heavy stick or something and give me a couple of whacks, feel free.

Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. So no need to whack yourself in the head. lol

I'm back from the hospital, everyone! I may have a cracked skull and a major concussion, but I think I can still reply coherently:

I'm aware that everyone makes mistakes. I got pissed at myself for a couple of reasons:


1: If I had bothered to actually playtest it, I would have caught it. Unfortunately, in my rush to get the update out, I just took a look at the changed event logic and said, "Yeah, that looks about right."

2: The update occurred about two days before the game got the Hidden Gem spotlight. Which means all those people that played it (and perhaps gotten to the last dungeon) played the glitched version.

3: The issue occurred at such a key moment in the story. If it had occurred earlier, I probably wouldn't have gotten so mad. To me, that's the equivalent of letting out a huge fart in the middle of a funeral procession.


Anyway, I've cooled off now. It's still embarrassing, and the game has now been fixed. I suppose all I can do now is damage control. Shoutouts to ricifidi again for pointing out this flaw! If it weren't for him, this toxic copy would continue to be circulating indefinitely! I can't thank him enough.

... I-I was being sarcastic. I was pretending I actually hit my head with a spiky, heavy object.

Sorry for any confusion!

Oh, right ^^;; Given how accident-prone you are, I took it seriously XD;;

Whew.

Given how accident-prone I am, I should probably be more clear when I'm kidding and not. Sorry to make you worry!

No problem! I should have realized that if that had happened, you probably wouldn't be typing XD

Well, that's weird. I took it as sarcasm, but, there is the small point of Red being accident-prone.

Not sure what to make of that.

Self inflicted injury = never true.

Injury caused by outside force/other idiots/my own stupidity = probably true.


So basically, if I say I'm going to hurt myself, don't believe that. For everything else... it couldn't hurt to drop me a PM asking if I'm alive.
