uhh. not really sure what happened:

Error

system/window.lua:549: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'index' (a nil value)

Traceback

system/window.lua:549: in function 'bringNextWindowToFront'

system/window.lua:572: in function 'close'

apps/settings.lua:25: in function 'onEnd'

system/timer.lua:14: in function 'update'

nx/update.lua:13: in function 'update'

[C]: in function 'xpcall'

this kinda just happened once and then never again so idk what that was about.

interacting is pretty jank. i couldnt figure out archery at first, as the game wouldnt let me shoot the bow. when i clicked it, the window would just flash. idk why and it then suddenly started working. still the final shot was so hard to figure out. 

and then the game kinda ended. three keys, the red, the black, the blue and then it was over. the game closed after i opened up the browser. now i was kinda expecting more, mostly due to there being 4 devlogs on this. it seems like the first two are what we have here, yet the second two are from a version that hasnt been released. i love the concept and the ideas for the extended version seem really cool. sad that that version never saw the light of day. it even featured hall, an old project. would have been cool to see that also krill or be krilled. using games that you made, that didnt have much to do in them, to make one big puzzle browser game is such a cool idea and would have been so cool to see. so yeah, the game was good, the amount of videos about it just had my expectations high. i was expecting the extended version, but that doesnt seem to have been released.

reading the blog confirms this. lens 2 is an idea, one that has as of yet not been able to be made. kinda sad, but i get it. the perfect game is hard to make and trying to will lead to no game being made. lots of creatives, be it art, game development, writing will try to make their dream creation. in their minds it is the best thing they can make. this leads to wanting a perfect result, one that is most often impossible to achieve. in many cases this leads people dedicating everything they have to their dream, without being happy about the result, or they stop creating altogether, as they cant create their dream. im glad you were able to move past lens 2 and have been able to continue creating. while i would love a lens 2, reading the blog, i realize that that probably shouldnt be attempted to be made. that can only do more harm than good.
