Found any bugs yet?


Hi. I've been fixing up Rock Beyond Time and polishing it up before I release another build on the 16th. In order for me to find the bugs, I have to play it, and try out everything. So, here's some interesting bugs that the Early Access build has:

  1. If Myles holds an Ice Cube, and Susan un-summons it, Susan will slide downwards. This is an oversight from not including a "with", to indicate that one of the special effects objects goes downward.

  2. Myles' bubbles don't slow down. They did in earlier builds, but it was lost when I was trying to recode it. This is why I made so many backups.

  3. The flour can overwrite a thank-you note. Just an oversight.

  4. Hiro can animate weirdly when music is playing in the barn. Another oversight.

Have you found any bugs yet? I'm fixing them up as I go along, as well as adding all the necessary polish before I feel comfortable releasing it. You know, realigning text, putting in musical cues, taking care of the little bugs, adding better controller support, and so on.

Also, do you think this game should be harder? I feel the enemies' Defense stats are right, but maybe the Attack stats aren't. Balance is a tricky thing.

A rather interesting thing I forgot about...

Coming soon to another update.

Lemme get some work done with it first, then we'll talk.

Well, finding glitches was bound to happen.

In this case, with a scrolling boss, the player's trapped on the left side of the screen until there's no solid block there.

I'd better fix that, THEN shrink the gap behind the boss.

Here. I've got a trailer ready. (...assuming it loads.)

Now I've gotta shop it around, and upload it onto YouTube.

I realize some players just want to play the game and see the story, while others may actually want to use those revival items, so here's a little compromise for you all.

Also, yes, I NEED to put on that "Pro" flag everywhere.

I'm pretty sure I got the save feature working, though I don't know if three save files is acceptable.

Then again, the save features are for Casual Play only. Arcade and Caravan Modes don't let you save your game, for hopefully obvious reasons.

I did Attract Mode first.

She can pwn on her own for the first four mainline levels for 30 seconds each.

I hope you appreciate what I go through for pointless details like this.

I don't plan on going this crazy too much, though.

Just a reminder. It's coming on the 16th, assuming nothing goes wrong.

Do you know how hard it is to get THIS shot?

Like I said, I'm making level thumbnails for the Level Select screen. Also, this gives you a good idea how big the max health bar is.
