Just played it again. The area I said that closed the game was the upper right where I was going to be able to go to the other side of the map/island. I met the old man. He gave me a quest. I was able to explore the area and didn't have the problem with the screen as previously. Sadly, after I went to the cave for a second time to get the underwear to swim faster and was ready to exit, the game closed.
Yes, I collected many shells, and even the broken ship/boat got many axes and a wooden stick. I was able to chop the trees, but didn't have any use for them yet. I was able to see like 3-4 statues. The special effects/sparkle effects were present on the ground, around the statue, etc. I will try to check the game tonight and see if I get the same problem or another one.
Aaaaa I'm so confused 😭
The game always runs in my computer just fine. I'd prefer if it were also crashing in mine just to make it easier to bugfix... Btw, what is your PC spec? Hmm it might also be because has coding practices of mine that cause memory leak... What is your RAM size?
EDIT: I found some errors on my end... not sure if it relates to your crashes, but I'll fix those in version 1.03 and hope for the best (?) lol
Mine is 16GB, so that's probably not it... I've uploaded ver 1.03, which at least fixes crashes during loading save file and some NPC schedule error causes random crashes too (every error results in random crashes which makes it really hard to pinpoint 0_0). Hopefully it reduces the frequency of your crashes X"D
If you can, when you re-test, could you run the game through command line so that it pops up the complete debug log?
Type cmd on the explorer bar like this, press ENTER, it should popup a black box
Then type "start BaradiseEscapeWindows1.03.exe" or "start BaradiseEscapeWindowsDemo1.03.exe" (without the quotation marks) depending on the version you're playing.
There should be many scary lines popping up there, but it's the complete log of what's happening back-end. Hopefully during the crashes, there will be better hints to be found there.
