For the developer
Posted by monex249 on Aug. 8, 2023Hello, as you can see this post is targeted to the developer.
You need to do another beta run, there are bugs and glitches in the forest, dungeon and mines.
When going through the forest it will sometimes place a lantern even though I have not told it to do so. Sometimes it will just glitch for a minute even though it has paused for the command, and sometimes the whole game will crash. And the whole game crashing isn't limited to the forest, I have had it do this in the dungeon , and a bit in the mine, and sometimes it will just do it regardless of where you are.
I cannot access some of my equipment, it will not take bachelor wing, Yetta paw, ancient Rune or tusk of Tuska, actually when I say this one it brings me to the bounty hunter's guild.
Now there are some pets I am having a very hard time accessing, Pollbear for this one I have to say (Pollba) Polarpuss for this one I have to say (polopis) and Packrat for this one I have to say (packrit.)
I do enjoy the game, but as you can see you do need more feedback on somethings, maybe there's a way to add that to the game itself.
Sorry for the really long post.
Thank you for the game, I do enjoy it.
Michael

Sorry to hear you're having so many issues. I've been working hard to try to get the name issues worked out, but it seems to be a never-ending problem. Alexa doesn't seem to understand a lot of the fictional names in the game, so I have to add aliases. An example of an alias is "polar bear" for Pollbear since she sometimes hears that.
If you(or anyone) have a chance and would like to help out, try saying "tell me about x" with x being something she's having problems understanding. Then go to the Alexa mobile app and click the More tab on the bottom right. Then click Activity History. It will then show you what she heard. If you could post some of the things she hears, I can add aliases.
A lot of times Alexa seemingly crashes when she doesn't understand you 3-4 times in a row. Could that be what's happening? It's beyond frustrating, but there's not much I can do about it. If there's an actual error/crash on the skill, it will say "An internal error occurred in the skill." and it sends me an error report. I usually fix these errors pretty quickly.
I'll have to look into the lantern issue. Thanks for taking the time to write all of this out!
