Glitchtale: The game

5 years ago

Today I would like to show you the absolute weirdest bug ever.


It's SUPER old, going back all the way to when I first implemented this upgraded text system (I used to have a different system that was much worse):
Colored text where really shouldn't be.

It mostly happens with this specific message, though I've seen it on others during the battle as well. Altough, now that I'm trying to test it, I've seen it show up in the first message ("it's a beautiful day outside") a lot. Sadly I'm trying to replicate it by essentially spamming Z and X and resetting so I quickly lose it before I can react.

Most of the time, it consists of the color being, instead of black, a random shade of green, but this time it was blue. Yeah, sometimes it's blue. Actually, it used to always be green, but now about half the time it's blue. And when I've seen it on other messages I only recall it being blue.

It's hard to replicate. By which I mean I have no idea how to make it appear. Likewise I currently have no clue why it happens or how it could happen when the text string explicitly says it should draw itself black.

So, I don't know how to fix it.

Ok. I'm lying. I have a hunch about what might cause half of this problem to happen. It's not the half that lets me actually replicate it, but if I'm right... then I don't like it.

How Glitchtale was made (true story)

quick I can make sans say anything I want give me messages no longer than this and I'll do it but don't tell toby he's scary

Me: Aight ima draw the battle target to the special surface that only gets drawn INSIDE the battle box. The one most bones use to only show up when inside it etc. That should be enough for it to not appear outside. The battle target:

lmao here's an old fanart from 2017 (and it's AMAZING sketch).

And why not the image I made with it for when cami got 500K subs

first meme

I have discovered a very powerful tool left for me by my ancient self.

Obviously my first reaction was to mess with it to no end.

I call it, "Sans being very enthusiastic about killing you"

Then @King_ArthurJr made a meme with it xD

ARE YOU HAPPY WINDOWS? ARE YOU PROUD OF YOURSELF?

Yes, I am alive.

You know what's amazing? Sans is divided into three object: The head, the body, and the legs.

Guess which of them I decided would be the most logical fit to control most of his behaviour?
