Artemis DevLog CH7 (Patreon)

Happy Monday!

I didn't get the chance to work on the animation last week. There's a scene I'm working on that I just sunk my time into and didn't want to rush or break away to shift focus on the animation. So, this week I'll be working on getting the animation started. I spoke with Puggy and told him I've got an animation I'll be commissioning him for. I'm going to try to give him the outline this week so he can work on it at a good pace.

I also went around my socials for bug reports. Just a heads up, Patreon and Steam discussions. I do try to look at them, I just don't get alerts when a message comes through (and Steam, as far as I know, doesn't send messages). Which is why I much prefer Discord. So, if you're able to, sending bug reports through Discord is easier to manage. You also get real-time responses instead of waiting for me to check Patreon or Steam.

But anyways I digress. I was checking Steam for any bug reports and saw one reported back on sept 22 (sorry :( ) and I'm pretty familiar with my code. I usually can tell when it's been tampered with and when it isn't. But someone reported the game not starting and showed this being the error I got.

This is a game breaking bug, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt and looked at my code. That line of code it's complaining about doesn't exist in my code, meaning this error was the result of a mod. The mod warning that's being implemented with CH7, I hope will slow the reports. And if not, at least make me feel less guilty telling people I can't help them when they do get reported lol. Also, the mod warning is just that, a warning. I got a DM on Discord the other week, someone asking me if I said I'm bringing down the hammer on mods. I'm not, I'm just implementing something that says something along the lines of "Hey, you're modifying code. This will likely cause issues down the road and no support will be given if they do.". And you can continue playing the game modded. That's it, lol.

Anyways, enough code talk. Mods. Whatever. Here's a preview of Zelda.

Have a great week everyone and be safe out there if you plan on being out for Halloween. Or if you're like me, remember to turn your porch lights off. Kids will still ring the doorbell, but not as much lol.
