Thanks! I’m going to leave it to you to find more interesting bugs that I can report on.

Yeah, it was a good mix! I love bugs like this, which seem completely random, but then you get a good repro, figure it out, and then draw the bounding box, and like, duh, it’s crystal clear. It’s always interesting how such a clear a simple issue can manifest seemingly mysteriously.

This post was excellent – a great mix of some info from checker (hopefully low enough effort that this sort of thing can be considered for many future posts) and some perceptive commentary from zero. I don’t think it can be overstated enough how important video is for these rare bugs. I was vaguely aware of this one for many months, but never realized there was one consistent bug underlying lots of ‘edge cases’ I had found.

Great post, was a fun read. I especially enjoyed the “behind the scenes” images and explanations from checker and your own analysis for why it’s interesting. Can’t wait for next week’s post!

Great info, my favorite part about indie games is getting insight into dev stuff like this. I occasionally read through the Fixed Bugs forum to remember everything we’ve gone through, it’s always surprising when something new comes to light.
