Report your bugs in this thread.

Known issues:

physics bug where falling near the edge of a tile can launch you a million feet in the air
some objects don’t have collision yet
gamepads behave strangely
unlit objects sometimes blend strangely with lit ones so the lit objects are visible through the unlit ones

if your bug is a crash, it’s a huge help if you post logs. when the game crashes it should pop up a window with the error message in it. you can also find a full game log in C:\Users\<YOUR_USERNAME>\AppData\Local\DREAM SLAYER, and posting that would also be a huge help. if the log is large, you can post it somewhere like github gist.

yooo. i get the following error on startup: https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/2582517

I suspect this is because my laptop has two graphics cards, one of which probably does not support Vulcan

i hope I get a chance to try out the game soon!

prophet goddessDeveloper262 days ago

oh no! if you haven’t updated your GPU drivers in a while, maybe try that. otherwise i’ll reach out to evan, the moonworks maintainer, to see if he can fix it.

prophet goddessDeveloper261 days ago

this was my fault, i neglected to update refresh.dll so the fix wasn’t included in the game. should be working now!

NecroTechno261 days ago

hell yeah, thanks a lot!

can confirm it's all working for me now :)

I destroyed all the red spheres in the level but the door never appeared? I got to score 2540 and destroyed all the spheres i could see on the desert level. Then i just saw enemies so I killed them all and i couldn't find a sphere and no more enemies seemed to spawn. In patch 8.

Also in patch 6. i encountered a couple granny basement levels where the red sphere was on the other side of a wall so i couldn't finish. And one time I spawned in a walled off single tile and i couldn't win.

prophet goddessDeveloper259 days ago

noted! i have no idea why the door wouldn’t appear that’s very strange.

i have an idea as to why the orb was spawning on the other side of the wall, it’s related to a bug i experienced where you actually spawned on that level totally surrounded by walls. there’s some uncommon scenarios i didn’t account for in the generator. should be an easy fix.

prophet goddessDeveloper218 days ago

what level were you on when this happened? was it perchance the wood paneled 70s basement level (the only one with walls)?

vaporwario216 days ago

The door never appeared in the desert level. There were so many enemies on that level that everything was lagging at times, so maybe that had something to do with it?
I'll post again if I see it again!

Red Orbs destroyed, but no door spawned. Stayed put for more than a minute and was never attacked.

prophet goddessDeveloper222 days ago

this has happened to someone else and i’m still investigating what’s up. thanks for the report!

oh, shit. I didn’t get the tracedump

The very first time i opened the game, I immediately hit Options and clicked the button to increase View Bob. The crash said something like “Key not found: ‘0’” or something. like it was trying to index a dict with 0

also fuck god damn this soudntrack rules

prophet goddessDeveloper208 days ago

huh, strange, no idea why that would happen. i’ll investigate.

God a weird bug when I died

Maybe I'm just dumb but the game just opens to the files.

Never mind, I just needed to mess with the DREAMSLAVER application thing in the files.

lxpn115 days ago

what did you do to open the game

obama_bin_aladdin115 days ago

Not sure what I did. I guess I'm just better at trouble shooting than I once was.
