Crestfallen
A downloadable game for Windows
I had a nasty bug with Addressables (which my comic-style asset used). I know that I am retroactively fixing this (the programmer speaking) but if you want to play the build without the issue, I'll link it here.
Additionally, there is a dev diary at the bottom too.
If you want to read about the bug, it's at the very end.
When an oil factory ruins the once peaceful life of Cresthill, a young girl decides to move to the big city, to save the village from the disaster. Even though her parents try to talk her out of this, she is determined to fight against the factory. After a few years she decides to return, burdened by guilt for leaving her family behind. But her hometown, is not what it used to be...
Crestfallen is a story based top-down shooter, where you will navigate into the strange town of Crestfall. Find your family and figure out what happened to the city.
-----------------------------
The Nasty bug:
I used an asset which for whatever reason, had a dependency on Addressables. I am not familiar with them sadly. The issue was that I didn't know that Addressables had a pre-set up that you explicitly had to do, sort of bundling all the items that the asset used. The specific option was building and rebuilding the cache.
I read the docs of the asset, and I built the cache. I didn't know, I had to continuously rebuild with each change I made. What made it even worse, was that release version differed from the Editor version, and I had to use debugging for a live game to understand what the console was throwing. I was too frustrated to think of that at the time of submission.
Regardless, once I understood what was wrong, and took like 1 hour to fix it, I uploaded the build. I kept the original, so you can check and see the size, meaning that I didn't add anything or did any additional work other than rebuilding the addressables database and cache. If anything, it lost a bit in size.
Hope you enjoy the game, take care!
Sorry to the team for being a shitty programmer!
