I Am Overburdened, 1.0.4. deadly insect

Sadly another "deadly" bug was discovered. I hope I'm winning this battle and no other pesky little issues will be discovered. Please accept my apology. I try to be really thorough with my work, but games can be complicated under the hood and I Am Overburdened is no exception.

Fixes

  • A crash bug was fixed which was triggered by the "Shoulder cannon" item on rare occasions. I scaned through the code of all the item skills to triple check these logics this time.
  • Sadly the generator could come up with dungeon levels where some of the tiles are unreachable (stairs blocking the way, see the attached image). I fixed the affected map templates and extended my testing system to save me from these pitfalls. Before uploading a build now it checks if something like this could happen with the dungeon templates (no blocked parts in the maps from now on ;)).
  • I added a "fall-back" solution if the directory installed by Steam ends up being read-only. If the game can save to it's install folder this change literally does nothing, but if it can't start or can't save (settings, unlocks etc...) now it will be able get back on it's feet and save stuff to the user folders. In the future this will need a more robust solution as cloud saving "dislikes" this approach (no worries it still works perfectly, but do not start changing the read-only flag on your install folder on a daily basis ;) !).

Please accept my apology if you run into any of these problems and kudos if you reported it to help me fix it ;):) !

Now I'm continuing work on the first bigger content and balance update ;) !
Again, if you are interested, I'm keeping track of my development progress here:
