Rogue-Like Update 02/25/2020 (We'll fix it in post!) (Patreon)

Ok, I've been testing and noodling, cleared up a bunch of issues so far, but if I keep doing that it might take weeks before I pull the trigger, so I'm just going to put it into the wild and hopefully get any outstanding issues tracked down more quickly. I expect there to be some, and you should too. Do NOT download the upcoming release if you just want to play a stable game. If you are playing it for testing purposes, I would recommend that you don't make saves you intend to play from later, since I may be adding and removing elements that could cause those saves to be missing out on things as they move forward, but feel free to make saves to help with the testing process and to keep track of where an error occurred. I'll also remind everyone that older game saves will NOT work with this version, yet, but that I hope to be able to import them soon. I've actually done a lot of the work towards that already, it just needs some final testing to make sure it works as intended.

So what kinds of bugs should be expected and what should you do about them? One that you might encounter is where a phrase something like "<store.girlclass object at gibberish>" appears in a dialog string. This is an error caused by the change from how names used to display to how they do now, and while I've cleared up 99% of these, I can't rule out that I've missed a few, so if you encounter one of these, please let me know the exact words happening before and after this appears, although you don't need to copy the gibberish exactly as that bit is irrelevant. There might be some other weird dialog situations, let me know of anything that seems like a typo or variable error.

Another issue you might get is a game crash error that gives feedback something like "unsupported opperand type", which typically indicates that the character you're interacting with has somehow been mis-assigned by the system, and I'll need to sort out why. When you get a game crashing error, it brings up a gray screen with debugging information. There will be a portion that says "While running game code:" and ending with an error message like "Attribute Error:'GirlClass' object has no attribute 'Tornado'" That whole portion is usually very useful to me, so please copy and paste it in the message to me, and I may have questions as to what led to that point. There will also be a portion after "Full Traceback," that information is not usually necessary to me and you can leave it out, as those can sometimes get a bit long. If I need it, I'll let you know. It can be a good idea to try and "rollback" from one of those error screens, and then make a save file so that we can check that result later.

Aside from raw errors, I'm also listening for feedback on how the game is running, what's the performance like, do the newer mechanics work right, has anything changed that you liked or didn't like? There has been very little change on the graphical side this time around, I didn't do much to mess with animations or add new art, my next version released will be more art-heavy, with the initial inclusion of Jean and some new poses. Btw, according to the Renpy diagnostic tools, the game currently contains 16,600 dialog blocks, containing 117,000 words.

You can post any feedback either to this or the release threads, or PM me if you prefer.
