Fixed rare issue where vine puzzle pieces became stuck on screen
Fixed an issue which caused the game to freeze on the Ice Fish
Fixed an issue in Location 4 which caused The Girl to teleport
Fixed a rare soft lock issue in the Pirate Cove
Fixed an issue causing the wrong font to appear on the vine puzzle

Implemented a number of other minor bug fixes and tweaks
Tentatively fixed a very rare issue where characters would not load in after saving the game

Fireart Friday Q&A #6
Greetings and happy Friday everyone!
Welcome to our 6th entry (*phew*!) in the #FireartFriday series! This week, we meet a different kind of wizard - A code wizard 👾 The name's Bahinskyi. Vladyslav Bahinskyi 😎
Being a Programmer, he has a hand in a number of cool features in TOHU, including puzzles, like this beauty:
What do you do at Fireart Games? I'm a Lead Programmer.
What is your favourite thing about TOHU? My favourite thing is definitely the art style.
What did you do before working on TOHU? I programmed a bunch of other games! 🙂
What do you like to get up to when you're not working? My favourite bands are FFDP, Disturbed, Architects, In This Moment, Eisbrecher, and In Extremo (there was a time in my life when I knew some German language 😃), so I like attending rock/metal concerts 🤘 Before quarantine kicked in, I went to an FFDP and Megadeth concert in Warsaw which was really cool!
What's your favourite video game of ALL time? I can't name JUST one, but the short list would be: Portal, Mass Effect 1 & 2, StarCraft, and EVE Online.
