Malevolent Planet v0.1.4 Bug-Catcher List

I think we can safely begin this phase right now. I've spent all day today on fixing bugs and right now preparing to update the $5+ build, followed by the $1 build. I will reference this post on both of them.

List of reported bugs so far and their ongoing progress:

  • Clothing Checks if she's naked or only wearing underwear, for the ability to leave the Player Room. โœ…

  • Dummy Entries from Codex removed. โœ…

  • General Smartwatch Fixes. ๐Ÿ›‘ - Some fixed have been applied, but there are still a few left.

  • Buttons to Save/Restart. โœ…

  • Media Rules to make the speech boxes smaller on mobile. โŒ not yet

  • Disable the Back/Forward button when they lead nowhere. โœ…

  • Fix Hats and Hairs combinations. ๐Ÿ›‘ Only one hairstyle seems to have this issue.

  • Updated the code that gets tags from equipped clothes in the new avatar system. โœ…

  • Fix Tease Code in Combat to work with the new Avatar System. โœ…

  • Add Cloth Tearing to Combat. โœ…

  • Fix Blackjack Avatar. โŒ Not yet, it's going to take an hour or two on a good day.

  • Add Dialogue Variables for all the new characters. โœ…

  • Wonky Smartwatch Buttons. โœ…

  • Make the Continue Button on the Character Creation Screen bigger. โœ…

  • Fix Camping Quest Bikini pairs. โœ…

  • Fix Blackmailer Event NSFW scenes. โœ…

  • Give the ability to restore the latest auto save on a bad game ending. โŒ Not very difficult, but I will need to make sure the auto saves happen when they should.

  • Fix Blackjack Minigame. โœ… functional, just the avatar isn't.

  • Added all the new expressions to the game. โœ…

  • Check if only one of the bottom or top slots is currently equipped. โŒ Will get fixed soon, right now this bug allows your character to leave her room naked, as long as she's wearing jeans.

  • Game should start with the avatar and the context bar hidden. โœ…

  • Fix the avatar cloner error in the dialogue macro on page reload. โœ… Fixed also the times when the first speech box of your character had an empty portrait.

  • Add margins to NPC Speech boxes. โœ…

  • Images Overflow out of the passage. โœ… But not all of them tested, right now the passage will stretch to accommodate the size of the images, so I'm not sure if it'll work for all.

  • Fix avatar showing up on top of the meta info screen. โœ…

  • Fix the addition of the smartwatch icon to the bottom bar when you receive the smartwatch. โœ…

  • Horizontal Wardrobe becomes Vertical Wardrobe. โœ… (most of the work here by Cyrus)

  • Fill Diary and Codex with entries. โŒ not yet, will be when I get started on the diary entries and the codex entries, at the end of the bug fixing phase

  • Smartwatch menus now have a full height. โœ…

  • During the Shower Event, your character still wears the towel while showering. โŒ this one requires some time to find the culprit code

  • Some choices stretch into the text. โŒ will be part of the towel searching, they're not exactly difficult bugs, but they need some time to fix all the instances. When this happens, zoom out until I can fix it.

  • Some Expression overlays have the wrong skin colors. โŒ same as the recent ones, needs time to find the bad assets

  • Can now eat and drop the snack bar from your inventory. You can get it and the coffee in the Morning in the Entertainment Room. โœ…

  • Updated the fight outcomes' passage names. Before it was "XYZ Won" and "XYZ Lost", now it's "Defeated the XYZ" and "Lost to the XYZ". โœ…

  • Can sleep at any time now, even if not tired, by taking a nap. โœ…

  • The wardrobe doesn't show the tearing levels on worn clothing. โŒ will take some time to fix

  • Fixed an instance of a passage name repeating twice. โœ…

  • Fix clunky formatting on a few passages. โœ…

  • Added the upgrades for the Ship's Engine Room and Pilot Room, with their own fluff text as well. โœ…

  • Removed all the parts that belonged to the outdated dialogue macro, and with it a few UI mismatches. โœ
