Lots of fun and a bug report

Having played through a couple of routes and variations, I'm really loving this. The story has a lot of wonderful hooks, and I've been enjoying abusing browsing the glossary as highlighted words have come up.

On a lark I tried entering a deliberately-bad-for-parsers first name "{b}Ari{/b}" to see what might happen (maybe my name in bold? Maybe some spare curly braces would be added? that kind of thing) and I tripped an error fairly early in the game. I've captured the traceback log at https://gist.github.com/JimTheCactus/670bcc481219ddc9a376e6a095fe7018

Not a critical bug by any measure (who even does this besides programmers?) but I figured I'd throw it your way while you guys were still in dev in case it got you thinking about ways to abuse it for fun and profit.

I really enjoy what's there so far, and I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing the rest of the story! Keep up the good work!

Hey there!

Thanks so much for your feedback.  OWO

I do think most people won't include curly brackets and backslashes in their name, but we'll definitely go ahead and exclude those symbols so people can't break the game. 

Again, thanks for the positive words and for letting us know that this was possible! We really appreciate it!
