Insanity's Blade: The Chronicles of Thurstan is the first in a series of games based around the journey of a sword possessed by a father's powerful grief and hatred. The first game is the tale of the swords creation.

We talk about the major bug we've encountered during our testing and the additional gore we've added while in the code with pictures!

Posted by on

So Bug testing has paid off. There was a game breaking bug that we need to make sure we have completely ironed out before launch. So to play it safe we are going to push the date back to the 10th of June.

This bug could actually stop progression through the game and it may have occurred when we were removing objects to stop the game development program from crashing (event trigger will go blank when you delete an object but the event contents remain meaning they constantly trigger for no reason - this actually happened in several spots but the rest were minor).

So now we have to go through the code very carefully to make sure we've killed it properly! I think it was only in a few spots but you never know. The game has grown so big in size we may have cut and paste something somewhere and forgot about it. There were a few other minor bugs to squish but we've gotten most of them already.

And while we're in there bug squishing, we've decided to spruce up Thurstan's Sword attack that you gain after stage 12 (No more daggers and punching past here). Originally it was kind of boring, just a forward slash for normal attack and then for heavy attack just a downward slash. Now there are combos, better animation, and a lot of blood!!!








Sorry again for the delay, we are working hard to deliver a great experience to you the first time around!
