Okay. Anyone who finds a bug in this game, shove it in here. This way YZ can just look at this thread and fix all the known bugs in one go, and the game is fixed properly hopefully within a few days. Also, I refuse to play this game all the way through until it's bug-free.

So... I'll post here too so I don't forget stuff. Knives and Jim found a couple of bugs that you might already have been told about, dunno. One is a 'time-travel' bug that lets you play the cutscene where you are able to 'unscrew the thing where Serena is in' over and over again and end up at the brig with Angela.

Also, Knives got stuck and didn't know how to get the idol. I told him how to do it by copy-pasting the walkthrough, and...

<Knives-> What the fuck
<Knives-> I stood there for a whole minute and he (the Welder) didn't show
<Knives-> But it might happen because I missed the kidney bowl.
<Knives-> Because I stabbed the guy too early.
<Rhubarb> Mmmmaybe

He went on to add...

<Knives-> Anyway, the airlock portion didn't work for me, and the final part with the masts didn't work for Jim.

...whatever that means. Maybe it makes sense to you. Later he said...

<Knives-> In sunday, when you return to the airlock, you can see another John lying on the floor and that whiny douchebag is still there.

Incidentally, he thought the ending was brilliant. As did a few people, it seems. I told him about the Easter Egg, he played it, and...

<Knives-> Hahahah
<Knives-> Nice
<Knives->

So I guess you can count that as a success. Whee.

Okay, I think most of the problems the AGS forum members talk about have been solved in the latest release. You now lose the wrenches after seeing Serena's torso the first time. There was some confusion about the abomination and idol still being visible in the sickbay on day 7. That was an error on my part. They should have disappeared after day 6, because the abomination is what becomes the Welder.

As for the 'fhfth' object, I am honestly baffled by that one. The inventory item is used as an indicator that the Welder has walked close enough to attack you. The game's repeatedly execute function checks to see whether you have the item, then removes the item and executes the Welder kill script. If it isn't disappearing, then I can't explain it. The code in repeatedly execute quite clearly instructs the game to lose the item as soon as it is acquired. Observe:

if(character[EGO].inv[18] == 1) {
LoseInventory(18);*
if((gs_globals[4] == 1) && (gs_globals[3] == 4)) NewRoom(22);**
if((gs_globals[3] == 7) && (gs_globals[4] == 1)) {***
StopMoving(WLD);
FaceCharacter(WLD,EGO);
if(character[WLD].x <= character[EGO].x) AnimateCharacterEx(WLD,6,1,0,0,1);
else AnimateCharacterEx(WLD,10,1,0,0,1);
NewRoom(22);
}
}

* If you have inventory 18 (the fhfth item), lose it straight away.
** If it's day 4 event 1, go straight to death screen (if Barry kills you)
*** If it's day 7 event 1, animate the Welder slashing his machete, then go to death screen.

So I can't explain that one, it looks OK to me.

Oh yeah, and I noticed that they were wondering about that false identity thing. I probably made too much of that, and to mention it was probably a bit childish, so for that I apologise. All I did was post three or four topics on Technical Support under the assumed name "Flim" when my AGS skills were a bit rusty. Sorry, I just needed to get some things known without a fuss.

If someone would refer to or quote this post in the 7 Days A Skeptic AGS forum thread I'd be grateful.

That's been solved in the new version. And I just uploaded yet another new version which solves the problem of the idol sometimes remaining in the inventory after being destroyed.

[Scruffie]

That's odd, it picked it up automatically for me... he just said "There's the pass-card" and I grabbed it.

[Yahtzee]

I uploaded yet another version which should stop that generic inventory item appearing. Also, if you want a hint, the Welder will only appear on the top of the ship on the last day when you walk onto the radio mast bed.

In later versions, I made the player grab the escape pod card automatically because going back up to the pod bay without it caused the problems people have described, and I don't know why.
