If I had access to the code, instead of trying to remember/explain the choices that lead to the error, I/and possibbelly other people who use Twine, could simply send the actual passage names and possibly even pinpoint the parts of code that is causing it. Making it easier and faster for you to correct them, so that you could put your emphasis on continuing the story instead of hunting bugs. based on vague descriptions.

I just want to help...and, not to be rude but, based on the amount of code errors I came across, it seems like you could really use it.

But hey, if help is not wanted then that's ok, I won't clutter your comment section futher.

If you had access to the demo code (so before its full and complete release) it would give you spoilers as well as make me incredibly anxious. The form to report bugs is literally there for you to use. You could also just shoot me a message on tumblr. You don’t have to know the exact name of the passage to report a bug. Just say how it begins and I will be able to search up the words in Twine - as someone who uses Twine, you should know that.
“Not to be rude BUT” is never a great sentence to say. If your sentence starts like this, just don’t continue. I don’t have beta readers and you’re not the only one who sent in these exact errors, you’re just the only one who did it publicly - and was then quite rude about it.
I’m not sure why you think your help isn’t wanted. I HAVE A FORM FOR BUG REPORTS, I JUST DON’T LIKE YOU POSTING THEM IN THE COMMENTS.
Edit to add that I just saw you do this for every IF you read, apparently. Even for those who have bug report forms. And you have clashed with authors about it before. You’re rude. Not only because of what you said before - but because you clearly disregard the way we’d like bug reports to be filed. It wouldn’t inconvenience you in the slightest, it would actually help you to have one tab open with the game and another one open with the bug report and just… copy-paste. Instead, you constantly have to exit out of the game and edit your “bug report” comment, then click back on the game. I’ve been nice in my previous comments but I’m not doing that in this one - I’m meeting your energy here. Don’t get butthurt because I’d like you to use a bug report form like a decent human being. I know about pirate sites, I’ve appeared there before and so have many of my friends - you’re not getting my code before I COMPLETELY release this story as finished.

I apologize for posting the bug report here. I truly did not notice the link to the form until afterwards...when you had mentioned it. The font here is small and very hard for a dyslexic person to read. I will try to do better in the future.

I don't think I was being rude...I genuinely just wanted to help...but apparently I was, and I am sincerely sorry you took it that way because that was never my intention. Sometimes my AuDHD brain gets the better of me and blurts out things more directly than might be socially acceptable...and not being a native speaker of English, certainly does not help. Again, I will try to do better in the future.

As for Tumblr, I have no Tumblr account, nor do I have use for one, since I don't use it, or social media in general. This interaction here being a good example on why.

Apology accepted. But let me add some well-meant words.

As someone who is also autistic, it’s less “blurting things out directly” but the usage of “not to be rude, BUT [insert rude speech]”. If you ever see yourself use or even think of a preface like this (or something similar), it’s always a sign to sit back and think about what you are about to say/write. Chances are high that it will either be rude/offensive or could at the very least be interpreted as such. I’m also not a native English speaker. And it doesn’t mean anything. You can be a native English speaker and be just as rude as a non-native English speaker.

You don’t have to have a tumblr account to send in anonymous asks btw (which would be totally fine as a bug report). You just need to have an email, which I’m guessing you do have - because you have an account here. If you just properly describe the bugs, I will 100% find them. “The passage in which xyz happens”, “The passage that starts with this-and-that”, “When abc event is about to happen and the character says that-and-this”. And in my bug report form you don’t even have to register, unless you want to send screenshots (which you can’t do in the comments here!). The author created the code. We should be able find the error ourselves. And if we can’t, we ask for help from a friend.

The one thing I really don’t need is constant worry about my code with all my spoilers and notes leaking on the wrong sites.
