Hello everyone! Thought I would report a little bit on the state of my engine (the one used for my recent LoCaA entry).
I'm going to list all the bugs that I know of as of writing. Unfortunately, I can not afford to fix them all in my LoCaA entry, as 1) it would take time away from my other large project and 2) it's a while past the deadline anyway.
BUG LIST
(as of 4/18/17):
-Pausing issues
-Game crashes when pausing and certain objects are on screen (Due to sensitivity of the pause system in place, will rework)
-Player will continue moving after pausing without button input, during this state can also go through boundaries
-Graphical issues
-Lasers when activating have no fade in or animation
-Sound issues
-Sound effects either way too quiet or way too loud (ex. spell card sound is too quiet, enemy shot sounds are too loud)
-Gameplay issues
-Bonus is collected if and only if player leaves PoC, could actually use some insight on that if anyone has any
-Movement while against a wall diagonally downwards is low (due to a stacking of collision with wall and modifier on diagonal movement)
Compatibility with Wine (Linux, Mac OS X)
-Caster extension (used for ogg playback) causes a seemingly random error when closing the game
Menus (Main, Options)
-Menus cannot loop (going from last entry to first and vice versa)
-Resolution options don't actually change resolution (Due to how GameMaker handles determining resolution at the start of game, easy action order issue)
-Holding a button for more than a frame can go through multiple menus at once (simply a change from keyboard_check to keyboard_check_released)
-LoCaA specific issues
-Familiars disappear when player is at edge of screen (Mahamaon)
-Pause issues as mentioned earlier, prominent in Mabufudyne and during opening cinematic
Super huge thanks to MegamanOmega, Dark, Trickysticks, and AJS for all the encouragement and helping me to find these bugs! They will be fixed as soon as possible (which should be within a few days).
A new feature list will be uploaded as soon as school entrance exams are finished :V
