Hi everyone,
I wanted to sincerely thank all of you who took the time to try the demo, even though many of you were unfortunately unable to start a new game due to a persistent bug. After spending quite a bit of time chasing down the issue, I’m happy to let you know that it has finally been fixed.
Initially, I suspected the problem was related to the save system specifically the file path used to write JSON data. When that didn’t solve it, I rebuilt the system using PlayerPrefs instead, but the problem still remained.
Looking back now, I realize I made a classic newbie mistake: I didn’t check the logs. While juggling this game and my full-time job, I was trying to fix the issue based on assumptions. This is my first game, and it’s been a tough but valuable learning experience. As it turns out, the entire problem was caused by a single missing variable.
Unfortunately, that small mistake cost the game its initial first impression during release, which is heartbreaking. But I truly hope the game is still worth playing now that it’s working as intended. If you run into any further issues, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Thank you again for your patience, support, and understanding. Wishing you all the best and I hope you enjoy the demo!
P.S. This game was created solo, so every bit of feedback truly means a lot.
