The Proteus Effect 0.9.8

Added 2022-01-23 11:59:17 +0000 UTC

Before I get your hopes up - no, this isn’t the new release. This is the (hopefully? finally?) last bugfix release for 0.9. Before I get into it, though, here are the links:

Windows

Mac

Linux

I didn’t really want to do another 0.9 release, but a supporter reported a game-crashing bug, and it turns out it’s a pretty bad one. It has a high chance of happening whenever you go through the Tal’thelas encounter, and may happen in other places as well.

This particular problem was introduced by the Autosave plugin. It’s good it happened, in a way, since it taught me something valuable about the engine. I thought this lesson might help me figure out the ‘invisible wisp’ problem from the Stone King fight, but after a bit of looking I concluded that no, it doesn’t. (I still haven’t given up on it, though!)

This release also fixes a couple of other minor bugs, but the main purpose of it is to address the game-crashing bug described above.

The Next Release

I’m trying very hard to get the release finished for this month, but it’s beginning to look like I’m not quite going to make it. If it’s not out this month, it really shouldn’t be very far into the next one, but… well… my estimating skills obviously aren’t that good. I want to reiterate, though, that everyone who was a supporter of the appropriate level in either December or January will be able to get the release. You won’t have to remain a supporter to get it. Same thing goes for the picture pack.

I’m not going to profusely apologize yet, since it’s still possible I might make it. You’ll be hearing from me one more time before the end of the month, whether the next release is out or not, so I’ll have more to say then. I’m going to get back to work - thank you for your support!
