Inheritance A17b Patreon Build
🕑 Added 2018-07-16 03:08:30 +0000 UTC Fix build. This includes fixes for the meal time content, some minor bugs in a couple of Eve's new scenes, and a few other things I'm not remembering. The most significant item was the meal time bug.Here's what you will want to do:
This is the full download of the game including the fix file. There was a broken variable in the game that was messing a couple of things up inside of the game. Additionally there was a secondary problem going on that was affecting some of you, you were using old saves. See, the "Save" file saves a lot of the settings from in the game, things like the sleep setting, the meal settings, and about a hundred other things. Now, with the complete rebuild of the meal time system, the game was trying to track a bit of code that no longer existed, and since the game wasn't being started from scratch it wasn't loading the new information. THIS is what was causing most of the problem in this case. You'll be wanting to start a fresh save if you want to put an end to the problem, otherwise it's likely to persist.
I don't know if it's going to be possible to prevent something like this from happening again, there's a risk of this kind of thing any time we do a major bit of work on the code even though I try to prevent this kind of thing from happening when I can. But then that is the nature of Alpha builds (Thus indicated by a "A" in the build number.) All of that said, I'm talking with one of our coders about the possibility of putting together something that will catch and fix this kind of thing in the future. Not sure if it's feasible, we'll try to get it sorted
This will be the last update before the next major build of the game. I'm already hard at work on the next build, I just need to get this version out so I can start adding the new content to the game!

That was the case here, the meal time code was a case of the old code being completely stripped from the game and being replaced with the new.

Ideally every save would be versioned and you'd build in migration code for minor changes (e.g. v15 -> v16, initialize this new variable I added to a sane value). Of course for large changes people might have to start fresh.
