Ah, it did! I think it was a problem with the game still thinking you were in the middle of a battle and opening the 'battle retry' menu instead of the normal main menu, caused by a small mistake in the code of forfeiting a Challenge Fight. I think I've fixed it now.

Thanks!

Apologies for a follow-up question, but do you remember the context of what you were doing when exiting the equipment menu caused the game to crash? Were you in combat? If so, do you remember what battle you were in?

Thank you for taking the time to write all this out! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and your feedback is very helpful and actually quite encouraging. I'm especially grateful for you including screenshots of the bugs, as it makes it much easier to track things down.

There's planned to be more elaboration on the backstories of characters in the final game, through both the main story and some specific character-focused sidestories. 

Thanks for your help until then!

Hello! This is a thread for posting bugs or other abnormalities you encounter in the current version of the game. I'll also use it to list any bugs I currently know about but haven't been fixed yet.

Thanks for your help!

Known Bugs in V0.5

• Rarely, when grabbing and then throwing an enemy while right against a wall (and possibly other situations), they might get stuck in the wall, and teleport out of the arena permanently. It's currently only been observed to happen in battles outside the 'Hotel' in the Otherworld. This softlocks the game and requires the fight to be restarted from the menu. Sorry...
• Invisible walls are missing on the left and right side of the beach area, allowing the player to go out of bounds.
• A building in the top right of the West Jadewater area is missing collisions, allowing the player to walk on top of it.
• Vending machines currently sell an item called 'Spring Water' that mentions curing a variety of negative status effects, as well as a tutorial for those status effects. That item is not meant to be available, and that tutorial is not currently in the game, as the presence of status effects in the final game is still being decided. So try to ignore it.
• An accessory (the Butterfly Earring) becomes available in the mall's clothing store earlier than it should, which is only a problem because it benefits an ability that can't be unlocked at that point in the story.
• There's a cutscene in which Lana asks Sakiko to turn the 'open' sign of her store around to 'closed', but the next cutscene outside the store shows the sign having not been turned around. This is not intentional, and Sakiko dutifully turned the sign around in canon.
• Bullets in the Ocean Fishing minigame display below the enemy fish's sprite.
• One cutscene in the mall has a bug in which the camera won't fix onto the player like normal after it ends. It will be fixed when moving into a different room.
• When exiting the claw machine minigame after winning a prize, an issue may occur where the main menu opens without the game being paused, which will cause the game to soon crash when the menu is closed. The game autosaves during this sequence, though, so you should still get to keep your prizes when you reload it, at least...
• The 'Cheap Cologne' accessory is entirely broken and just causes the game to crash at the start of every battle.
• Forfeiting a Lightning Round without winning causes the game to still partially think you're in the middle of a battle, causing some odd behavior with menus, as well as causing the game to crash when exiting the Equipment Menu.
