If you have bug reports, please file them here so that I can be made aware of them.

A fantastic bug report that'll help me fix your encountered problems quickly answers the following questions:

  • What version of the game bugged out? (You can find this in the Main Menu in the Changelog panel, noted as 'v[buildversion]')
  • What happened just before this and where were you?
  • What happened?
  • What was supposed or did you expect to happen?

As an example, let's say I clicked the 'Throwing Dagger' button in a combat encounter with a Greyking that happened while I was in the Sewers. Clicking the button caused the Greyking to get hit and suddenly turn into a lime. An excellent bug report would go:

Version: DEC24-Blackdawn
So I was moving around in the Sewers and ran into an Encounter card. I tried to Avoid it but failed. On the first turn, I used a Throwing Dagger on a Greyking. It dealt damage to them but then they turned into a lime? I kept fighting them and when they died their art turned back into the Greyking art.

Additionally if your game crashed or I ask for logs those can be found in "%APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\To Ash and Ember\logs". (You can copy that and paste it into Windows Explorer or the Run app without the quotation marks and it'll zip you there). Your most recent log will be called 'TAE.log' and up to 4 other logs will be there as well (each one being a previous time you ran the game, in order of most recent to least recent).

Thank you for helping me root out the problems in the game and solve them!

I wish I had something specific to give you but I haven't been able to get anywhere in the game. Initially I went through the New Game start up, did God Selection, started the Flowers in the Mist and after the preamble got a black screen. Closed the game, did a Quickstart, got to the map, moved to the graveyard but after the message nothing I click on the screen does anything. Closed, restarted, another quickstart. Return Home, got letter. +3 funds. It looks like "May as well make use of it" is something to click but neither it or journal, the only other thing that looks clickable, do anything except make a squelchy sound. I even plugged in another mouse, tried hitting enter (get the squelch sound) and space and pretty much every key on the keyboard. Nowt. 

Is there some trick to screen navigation?

Oh, running it through the itch launcher if that makes a difference. Hmm. Might try a direct install.... and I did and a couple of extra clicks here and there and ran into the same problem. 

Developer

Yep, to be expected. Those are some of the known issues with DEC-24. I'm currently swamped with other work and am trying to raise some money to get some outside contract help with the New Events System as there's a large and critical bug in it which despite my best runs at it I can't seem to solve. Once that's in there should be a new build out which resolves many of those issues. The build that's available on SubscribeStar should have most of those issues resolved, too.

Okay, I can be patient. Does the Subscribestar build come here eventually?

Developer

Yep! It'll come out when the next build does. The version on itch is one major version behind the subscribestar build.
