    Continuity Glitches

    in Bug Squashers!

    I needed a night away from my tent. Meanwhile Otto's working hard at his craft. I guess he doesn't have a guest room set up yet. I understand. Or maybe he just fails to notice what time it is because the windows are letting in daylight at 2:00 a.m.



    I suppose technically it's Saturday now. Anyway, I slept poorly. You would too on a hardwood floor. What I didn't expect was this:



    I suppose Otto was trying to help. Maybe he got as far as the tent and couldn't figure out how to carry me through the entrance given the low clearance. (1 Kings 17:19)


    As a side note, it seems that as long as I get back to my cot no later than 1:50 a.m., there's no penalty to my stamina the following day. How much I could get done if I could get by on only 250 minutes of sleep each day!

    Haha thank you for this! It has been a very unique challenge trying to account for every possible exhaustion/collapse scenario!

    What if I deliberately delay pitching a tent for several days? What if I manage to trigger notices just before 9:00 a.m. on Sunday? I got this:

    This relates to the issue referenced above. What followed the tent scene had to be caught on video, which I wasn't prepared for at the time. Don't blink once you press play:



    This is the sort of issue that arises because a player isn't playing the game the way it is intended to be played; most gamers would never observe this scenario. In terms of the most programming-light solution, it seems that if there is no tent, the most logical place to have the meeting is inside the jeep viewed at the very beginning of the game.


    And now I get back to goofing off for a little bit.

    Hey Dave, we really appreciate these, keep them coming if you find any more. I actually thought we'd already addressed the condition in the video (what happens if you collapse before building the tent), and I thought the solution had been implemented, but it looks like it wasn't. We'll be sure to fix it!

    @Eric Just to be clear, that wasn't a post-collapse event. I couldn't video capture, and the video clip doesn't show that the current time is 12:00 p.m.


    This was actually the result of not building the tent before Sunday. That's six days of sleeping without a tent, and attending the meeting (in a tent I hadn't yet built). When the meeting ends, I exit the non-existent tent.

    @Dave DeSimone Ah, I understand. I missed that bit of text above the video you posted. This is an issue we hadn't considered!

    When you first make it to Otto's Cabin and accept his offer for tea, he later says, "I see you've got yourself a shovel and a pickaxe." He will say this even if you haven't retrieved the shovel from the jeep.
