Alpha Bugs and Issues

[Shadyfellow]

I will add more as I find them, but this is what I came up with from playing this morning
Note: I am not commenting on the balance of the game because this is an early alpha. Balance comes later.

Bugs:

• Losing all stamina while crafting can cause the screen to become stuck in crafting mode and view, but you respawn at the clinic. Going through the crafting system all the way through fixes this.
  
• You can be attacked while transitioning between rooms
  
• Dying while going to a cutscene puts the game into a state where the player can make no inputs
  
• The temple key doesn't appear to unlock the temple doorYou need two temple keys despite the graphic looking like you only need one.
  
• Occasionally leaving the crafting menu can lock up your game so you can no longer move.
  
• Taming a magnus when you have no slots left puts the game into a state where you can not dismount the magnus and must restart
  
• Shell chests reset every day
  
• User can be blocked from saving in some circumstances.
  
  

  Minor Issues and Annoyances:

• Item selection while on the ground is exceedingly difficult
  
• Item drops from magnus and pots can land in unreachable areas
  
• There is no way to pause time
  
• Farm junk spawns way too fast
  
• Throwing items into the cooking oven and food trough is not an intuitive way for that system to work
  
• Range indicators are somewhat accurate, but skills can hit outside of designated range.
  
• Closing the quest board menu in the combat zone brings up the quit menu as well

good post, keep'em coming.

Also personally just encountered a game lock-up after picking up an item. Probably quite rare, but there nonetheless.

To add, the game does not play well with ultrawide monitors. See my screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/CPv19X2.jpg

This would easily be remedied with resolution options, and/or a windowed mode.

Let me start off first saying I am loving the game and what I know it will become, Thanks to the Developers!
That being said, I do have some concerns:

Bugs:

Magnus will glitch in a cave (sometimes outside a cave) in that it won't attack or move anymore, with the only way to get it to move is to ride it, yet still won't fight on own tell I zoned.

Killing mobs in cave will at times cause the loot to drop in way that makes me unable to pickup.

Issues:

* No way to pause

* Time moves WAY to fast. (which is made worst by not being able pause) Especially, if you stop to pickup your Magnus, supplies, or whatever, so once you go out to fight mobs or such, you need to held back before 2am in no time.

* Item selection can be difficult, since such a narrow window to get the pickup prompt.

* To high of a respawn rate for items in your farm area, I cleared it completely the first few days, then gave up doing that because the next day so many of the ferns, stone, and stomps had respawned.

* Better tutorials because there is to much key information unknown, like using "G" to dismount your Magnus are omitted from the game, though since this is early in the game, I understand that this probably will be address in later builds, but still I wanted to mention.

* The blurry view effect the game has in quite a few areas and cinematics, not sure what it is since we don't get access to graphics options yet.

* Sprint being tied to stamina, why? I understand limiting stamina for farming and other such activities, but tying sprint to that as well. Sprint needs its own bar, that regenerates like a normal sprint.

[SardineCat]

Minor inconveniences for me are the intro when you make your character should not have a rainy setting, time moves way to fast, separate sprint from stamina, and make items just auto pickups instead of having to face the correct way and the correct distance to just pick up an item, trash builds up are also too fast for the farm.

A weird bug I had was being stuck in a floating/stepping in water state after finishing fighting the Magnus for the first time to protect Emilia. It was weird, but loading the save file fixed it. (Started happening right when I was introduced to the save function.) Took a screenshot to show an example.

Having an issue where when fighting the first Magnus, they hit me once and I die going back to the healer/inn and I can't leave.

[JerBear]

I was in the West Coast (I think, where the things that have a lightning attack are?) and entered a cave to escape, as they were about to kill my first Magnus. Well, this is what happened. Seems like I got out of the map somehow, and ended up fainting because I couldn't do anything.

Also, is it just me, or is the audio for the first Magnus movement just 100% awful? Kind of ear piercing, and doesn't sound like walking, and set at a weird rhythmic pace too.

This seems so awkward it might be omitted from Alpha but most of the categories of skills do not appear to be leveling up at all.
Crafting isn't increasing my crafting skill
Farming isn't going up by Collecting/planting crops, watering crops, or tilling. I even tried tilling half the farm land in case it was only giving small amnt per plot.
Cooking isn't going up for cooking a bunch of cooked meats
Exploration - no progress on that and no clue what was intended to constitute getting credit towards that.
Fishing - caught 10 fish w/ like 6 different types but no progress

Other bugs:
-On character creation screen it notes [Esc] Back. Hitting Esc will not take you back to the main menu though, you have to restart the game to get back to menu.
-Loading a save will refill your stamina. I saved at 4 stamina to post on forums, reloaded my save to resume playing and was back to full stamina. Ran around some and saved and loaded and was back to full again. This only affects the main character, my Magnus still have their stamina back where It was when I saved
-Inventory cap isn't functioning properly. If inventory is full it blocked me from picking up a log type which I already had in my inventory rather than adding to existing stacks. It looks like it will allow to to 'keep' fish even though your inventory is full so they seem to just disappear.
-Unable to craft Capfin Coat or Capfin Hat. Upon hitting check mark for confirm it does not take me to the crafting minigame and just stays on the confirm pop up. Tried crafting a Beginning headband and it worked fine so the crafting station itself isn't bugged.

I was in the temple when it hit 2AM. My character passed out mid-conversation and the game froze. It's kind of annoying that time doesn't pause ever.. even during what is essentially a cut scenes.. and then to have it freeze was even worse cause I've been playing a lot of stardew and it keeps slipping in my mind that sleeping doesn't auto save.. now I've got to re-due pretty much everything..

[Havoc]

Discovered a bug in the Temple with a chest that contain a chest item that sold for 400g, that if I left that area and zoned back in the chest had respawn with the same item.

Had an issue trying to get my Magnus from the Barnbook.
I selected the Magnus, put it in my party then could not leave the book.
I could add and remove the magnus from my party but using ESC did not back out of the book.
I had to use task manager to close the game and start again.

So if you completely clean out the farm, it gets full of crap again the next day. I don't know if this was intentional, but why go through the effort of clearing it out if it will always have new rocks and stumps every day?

If you dismount from your Magnus next to a path to a new area, you will get thrown over that dotted line, and are unable to move anywhere.

I had this same issue.
