Hi guys,
I just published my first game this Monday, this is all made with LOVE2D.
I distributed on Windows and Mac, and they are all looks good. (Only for me when I did the test)
But, when my friends tried this game, they just told to me that they encountered all kinds of strange bugs.
I have no idea why they happen, because in my logic, I don't think that it should happen at that situation.
Actually I am bit confused about this, because I don't know how to do a complete test for whole game...
If anyone wants to have a try, I will be really appreciate about that.

Thank you so much for your time.
If you have any option, please let me know or give me a comment.
Thanks again guys!!!

Re: Unexpected BUG in my first game
Hey, could you attach a .love file so Linux users (such as me) could run the game?

That could be caused by some fonts missing.

Whoops, I used LÖVE 11.x instead of 0.10.x to run the game, so the colors were messed up. Disregard my previous comment.

Re: Unexpected BUG in my first game
That's pretty much the definition of a bug: your code does something that you didn't expect, usually because of circumstances that you did not anticipate.ICE NEURON wrote: ↑Thu Sep 22, 2022 2:25 pm in my logic, I don't think that it should happen at that situation.
It's up to you to figure out exactly why the code did something "wrong" and fix it. Honestly, you should expect this to happen multiple times on a daily basis.
Having other people test your game is pretty crucial. Things may be different on different computers, operating systems, graphics cards, etc., and other people rarely play your game exactly the way you intended it to be played, so they may find bugs that you didn't. Ideally you find or hire people to invest some time to help you find the exact cause of the bugs. You should play and try your best to break your game yourself though, on a regular basis.ICE NEURON wrote: ↑Thu Sep 22, 2022 2:25 pm Actually I am bit confused about this, because I don't know how to do a complete test for whole game...
I tried it out a little bit, some feedback:
- It's annoying that the the intro logo is not skippable and there's a delay when the main menu appears before you can use the buttons.
- The basic movement controls are a bit cumbersome—you can't move diagonally, and horizontal movement keys always override vertical ones.
- A lot of the time (but not always) your character jitters when you try to walk against a wall or other obstacle.
- You get teleported into the bed at 0:55 AM even if you don't press any buttons, is this intentional?

Linux user here. You can just open the .exe in Archive Manager (or similar) and you'll see the contents of the fused .love (aka fused .zip) file.
EDIT: I didn't understand the symbols etc in the tutorial. I'll probably have to play it more to get it. But I'm experiencing strange issues like no text on the screen (aside from the tutorial screens), bunny sleeps on the floor instead of the bed, etc.
Also note your controls screen labels the button "RATURN" when it should be "RETURN".

It's for Löve 0.10, which uses colours in the 0-255 range instead of 0-1. If you run it in 11.x all colours will saturate to white.
Maybe that's an intentional pun?

Hi Sammm,
Because I never use Linux before, I didn’t export the Linux version. Do you still need the Linux version? I can learn and do it for you, but I can not check it works or not.
