When Debugging Becomes Personal

Content Game-Breaking Bug Fixed The game breaking "stuck on Hey" bug has been fixed. The glitch did not allow the player to proceed past the first message of any level. The cause of this is very interesting. We tried on many machines but were unable to replicate the bug. It seemed like it was affecting players at random. After looking through the discussion posts and reviews, I started to notice a pattern. All reviews and messages sent were from people that are from places that were not North America. So the question was: what's the difference between a American computer and a non-American computer? Well when you are texting a message in the game and pause for a moment and then delete we tell the game to pause for a certain amount of time. for example 1.7 seconds. But decimal separators en wikipedia.orai are different in different countries (ex: 1.7 vs 1,7). This caused the game to either error or wait for an absurd amount of time before proceeding. In short, countries using decimal commas caused the game to break whereas countries using decimal points did not. TL;DR: The game is fixed now! Please enjoy.

Ah, the classic "let me check every possible capitalization pattern" approach! This developer is manually checking for true , True , TRue , TRUe and then the same for false variants instead of just using toLowerCase() once and comparing to a standard value. The function even returns maybe if neither pattern matches, which is both hilarious and terrifying for Boolean logic. Somewhere, a computer science professor is feeling a disturbance in the force. This is the kind of code that makes code reviewers develop eye twitches and start muttering "string.toLowerCase() === 'true'" in their sleep.

Ah, the glamorous life of game development! Pour your soul into creating digital worlds for three years, surviving on coffee and dreams, only to be rewarded with angry pre-teens threatening your existence because the latest patch nerfed their favorite weapon. That exhausted character is every indie dev who's ever checked Steam reviews after launch day and discovered their masterpiece has been review-bombed because "loading screens take too long" or "the main character's hair clips through their hat sometimes." The dark circles under those eyes aren't from the character model—they're a feature of the job description!

Content When Visual Studio Code keeps crashing Open Notepad. We will use the old ways.

Visual Studio trying to convince us that "ass" is undefined when we all know it's the most well-defined part of the human anatomy. The IDE's prudish error checking is basically the digital equivalent of your grandma covering your eyes during movie kissing scenes. Nice try, Microsoft. We'll just rename it to "posterior" and pretend we're being professional.
