Bottle Man Update 5/4/22


I have only uploaded the Windows build at the time of writing this. I will upload the Mac version later.

Fixed a few minor bugs and one major one.

Major:

In the previous version the 2D ending cutscenes that revealed the twist ending did not load, they now do. Please view the delicious imagery I provided for you by beating the game.

Minor:

Fixed a UI issue that displayed the coin counter incorrectly when receiving 26 coins.

Adjusted Ricky's behavior in a Farmer Joe cutscene.

Adjusted some pigeon mission sound effects.

Added green exclamation points to Debbie's garbage truck mission, when you have to refuel the trucks. They are easier to spot with them.

Fixed an issue that prevented Ricky's note from displaying on the canvas when interacted with on the job board. It spawns after Farmer Joe's food festival mission. 

Major bugs that are still not finished:

Death/Respawn Bug: When you die and respawn, you are permanently stuck no matter how many times you manually respawn. Most of the time you are stuck in the falling or idle animation. This has happened many times when dying to falling anvils and pianos (no, I'm not telling you where that can happen, it would ruin the surprise, just be aware to not "break your mother's back" during gameplay). This may have happened in other circumstances but it needs further playtesting.

Falling Animation Bug: This had occurred when making contact with random elevated spots, where Bottle Man will permanently be stuck in the falling animation. Upon recent playtesting, I haven't run into this bug in a while, even while trying to recreate it. No respawning will get you unstuck, you will just have to restart the game. The bug could happen again, but for now it is unknown what causes it.

Bottle Access Bug: When leaving the top of the building where Joe's last pigeon Mario is, you occasionally die upon teleporting to the bottom. This may happen more when you sprint towards the bottle access on the roof. It is recommended that once you grab the correct pigeon, walk to the exit. When you are safely teleported down, proceed to run. If you do happen to die, you will respawn in the starting area, and occasionally get stuck and die a few times, but you won't get permanently stuck like the previous bug. Just keep respawning until you can walk again.

Fence Damage Bug: There is an open area through a fence next to Pineapple Palace, that leads to one of the parks with a playground. Walking through that spot will somehow damage you. I tried lowering the part of the fence that was laying on the ground and changing its tag but it still damages you even when walking on the ground. The damage can be avoided by jumping through the spot. Make sure to jump before going through. This is a convenient pathway to return to Farmer Joe after grabbing Kyle the Pigeon, so don't get slowed down by the damage or the pigeons chasing you will hurt you as well.

I'll get around to fixing more bugs hopefully soon.
