Update and Queer Games Bundle!

A Heart of Butterblue
A downloadable full game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Hello all! 


I just uploaded a new version of Butterblue. (It's still labeled 1.02 bc I forgot to update the product version OOPS...) 


This version includes: 

- A resolution fix. Now when you click the full screen button it forces you into the correct resolution

- A change to how the key items in Fannys shop are checked. Very rarely the key items would be listed as out of stock when they weren't. I couldn't find the source of this, but I threw in a function in the update function to correct for it.


The still extant bugs are as follows: 

- Peytons flower? Sometimes the flower Peyton gives Phebe just doesn't show up in her inventory. I can't figure out where this is coming from but I threw in a piece of code to automatically add the flower to your inventory again once you access the [final room in the game]. 

- Deleting an item in your inventory sometimes will delete any other copies of the item that you are holding. To be frank, the way I coded the inventory is jank, lol. This isn't a game breaking bug but it's there and I'll keep thinking about how to have an easy fix.


- Also inventory related- trying to harvest a crop while your inventory is full just has the item dissapear. I've reviewed the (jank) code for this bit and it's supposed to refuse to let you harvest it but idk what's going on. Still TBD. 


- Peyton hangs around the mountain after you've activated his quest. There's some spaghetti logic happening at the end so I'll see where I can add a few more checks to stop this from happening. 


I probably won't have any more recent patches for this game, just bc I want to move onto my next title. But please let me know if you hit these or any other bugs! I'm adding them to my list to fix, eventually. 


And onto happier news: 


A Heart of Butterblue as well as Tomorrow for Mar are in this year's Queer Games Bundle! Go support a great cause and get a ton of other games! :D
