Gentrieve 2 is a "Metroid"-style 3D action game featuring completely random & customizable worlds. The year is 3080. Mass Generators are creating everything, everywhere. However, thieves often steal Mass Generators in hopes of creating robot armies & fortresses. Thieves are terrible programmers, though, and their creations become uncontrollably hostile & fortresses wildly convoluted. It is your job to clear out these fortresses & return the faulty Mass Generators. Be warned, when the Mass Generator is taken offline, the fortress will soon implode!

Hey there Phr00t! It's been a while. Bought Gentrieve 2 yesterday, and I'm really enjoying it. However, there's a bit of a problem I've run into. I was fighting a boss in the water area, and ended up dying. When I reloaded the game, I found I was being affected by gravity again, and the swimming powerup was no longer working. A re-launch fixes the problem and allows me to swim again. Happened on both v0.75a and v0.82a.

If you need any additional information, please let me know and I'll pass it along.

Hey Chronos,

Glad you are enjoying it -- except for that bug! I'm pretty sure I know what is going on (a "are we swimming" check isn't happening when loading a new game). This should be an easy fix! I will try and get it out tomorrow. Then we can start with a contest!

Hm. Addendum, actually. It seems other items are failing on load. One world I obtained the grappling hook only to find after dying I couldn't launch it. Tried mouse-wheel switching, shift-mouse-wheel switching, no dice. Relaunch fixes the problem, same as the swimming issue. Looking forward to the contest. Not sure how well I'll do, but I'll definitely be giving it an effort.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the report -- I wonder if you shot the grappling hook during a save, perhaps...? I'll look into it...

Can't say I recall having done that, but I'm not sure. Perhaps it's some anomaly on my system. Even with these problems I don't really mind re-launching to keep playing. Since the game is in alpha, though, figured I may as well let you know anyway, just in case.

Sorry for all the trouble.

No trouble indeed! I need to know of these weird bugs so I can fix them :)

EDIT: Got both of these problems fixed for the next release!
