Found any bugs while playing Goblins Can Save The Day? Report him here small or large!

I noticed a couple of issues pretty quickly.

Immediately, the first thing i noticed is that the screen resolution absolutely tiny; it kinda makes the game virtually unplayable. Using PlayerPrefs you could save a series of resolutions and then scale the game window in code, or just re-enable the unity game launcher with some preset resolutions.

On a similar note, elements of your UI aren't correctly anchored to the canvas. The text boxes do not scale with screen size, causing them to appear mostly off screen, and various other UI elements are either poorly scaled or misaligned. Unity UI anchoring can be a bit finicky, but you should be able to fix this by making sure your canvas is set to scale with screen resolution, and then setting the width / height ratio to 0.5. After that, just make sure  each rect transform is anchored and/or stretching. Using a panel set to stretch in all directions can be also be helpful when dealing with UI.

Finally, it seems that audio occasionally stutters, though this could just C# garbage collection getting in the way of things.

Anyways, I look forward to playing this once it gets fixed up, and I hope some of the tips I threw in help you out with that.

Ah thank you so much for your post and the advice! The original build we created In about a month and UI has always been troublesome for us. Next update I'll be trying to make sure I have a settings menu for screen scaling and hopefully most of those UI mistakes can be fixed! And yeah I noticed the stuttering as well when I played It again after release with better headphones I'll have to look into how to get rid of It.

Thanks for buying the game and supporting AstroKaen!

I'm having a bit of trouble pretty quickly. The guard still has the quest marker and I can't seem to progress any further after talking to victims.

Also noticed a slight movement issue, if you bounce of a wall while running you will keep moving backwards even while holding the forward arrow.  This doesn't change until releasing the movement key and hitting it again.

Victim 1 has something pretty interesting to say, after speaking to them try looking around town, maybe behind some houses. Guard question mark won't leave their head until quest completed currently.

And thanks for the report! That's a weird bug I'll put it on my list to look into.

I don't know if anyone else is dealing with this but as soon as the game loaded up it was very laggy I could barely walk around the map or do anything else
