Under the weather (Patreon)

Hey everyone,

Come down with something so I'm going to do a quick post and might pop another one out once I'm feeling back to normal. Should only be a day or so. Already starting to feel on the mend.

So I've been documenting the system for dialogue I created and got to doing some bug fixes. In a piece of good news I was able to get the bug where you can't exit the secret lab to happen to me. It required specific timing but it now makes sense why it wasn't throwing an error. An object was getting turned off/destroyed and if you hadn't loaded into the next level it would just end the load sequence. So I put together what should hopefully be a quick fix so that bug shouldn't cause that issue again.

I also think I found an issue with some inventory loading bugs. Some item loading isn't protected if you have a bugged item or an old item that has since been removed from the game. I'm going to go through all my game loading code and be very careful to make sure I check and double check things exist before trying to load them. I suspect there are still a few objects from early version of the game stuck in some peoples save files.

That's it for now I might make a quick mini update when I'm feeling a bit better!
