MSC bug: guy the grill guy skating challenge is broken
version: v0.0.56
platform: issue appears to be identical on linux and android
description: the challenge starts, but the timer doesn't count down and it doesn't add points to your score.
steps to recreate:
>launch game
>pick free skate
>pick any character (issue is present for all characters i tested)
>enter warehouse map (time of day seems to be irrelevant)
>talk to Chloe and Tori (skip if playing as Chloe or Tori)
>talk to Guy the Grill Guy and accept his challenge
>screen pops up telling you to get 100,000 points in 2 minutes
>press anything to continue
>game should enter the skating challenge state, but broken.
as you can see, the timer hasn't gone down (that or i made it to Winona's house in <1 sec cuz' i'm just that good at this game)
additionally, the goal is 10,000 points (which is really easy) instead of the 100,000 point goal stated on the start screen, but that's probably a separate issue.
also, i discovered a workaround that allows you to complete the challenge (and also might point to where the issue is):
>launch game
>pick tutorial
>play through the tutorial and complete the skating challenge (any points in 1 minute, 30 seconds)
>get sent back to the main menu
>pick free skate
>pick any character
>enter warehouse map
>trigger GtGG skating challenge again (you know the drill)
once the challenge starts, the game will display the timer and score box for the tutorial challenge, as shown. the game will track your points and the timer will count down and expire in 90 seconds.
although the score box says the goal is "any" points, you do still need to score at least 10,000 to pass (still very easy to do, even if the game gives you 30 less seconds to do it).

i don't know how the game is coded, but I'm guessing there's some issue with loading the timer for the warehouse challenge, as it seems to be using the tutorial's timer instead if it was loaded previously.
i've experienced some other bugs, but nothing else that prevents you from accessing content like this (primarily on linux)
>occasional diagonal skating jank, something to do with angled surfaces or quarter pipes throwing you off at a weird angle. also the scaffold balcony in the warehouse always puts you at an angle like this for some reason.
>sometimes the game crashes when switching between characters on the character select screen. (not enough memory to load them?)
>i get screentearing when playing the game in fullscreen regardless of vsync, game says it's at a consistent 60fps with vsync on. i play on a 21:9 monitor, so maybe that's part of it.
>sometimes when switching from fullscreen to windowed mode, the resolution changes but it doesn't actually become windowed so it gets stretched out (because 21:9). going back and forth with the display mode option fixes this though.
>lol, lmao
anyway, sorry for the long post. aside from the bugs though, really great game! i've been having a blast and playing the hell out of it. create a skater is awesome, looking forward to seeing more species added. also it would be cool if we could adjust the scale of our custom characters. ok, i'll stop with the shameless feature requests. thanks for the mondo mega amazing game, brah!
