Segfaults: I realized that edgar segfaults on startup when run from my home directory, but not from the build directory. This is *after* a "make install".

v0.50, on the second Mine map:
If you save with a cloud of Repellent on the screen, when you reload it is there permanently. You can even pick it up as an item (with no name).

Are there any walk-though or hints/spoilers? I can't find the 6th log for the second crossing, or get past the giant ground scorpion/crab thing. thanks :-)
To the left of the Ant Lion is a wall you can knock down, perhaps you can do something with what's behind the wall...

v0.51: If the armour boss's tongue hits the left hand side, it glitches onto the platforms and the player can't avoid dying.
If I load my save from 0.50, made in the Fortress Mine, I am teleported out; but if I return to fight the armour boss, the yellow gem isn't attached to the boss - it stays in the cage.
Thanks for the report Harry, I'll fix this shortly

thanks for the library fix
btw. can be the armor boss defeated in 0.51? i've striped him from armor 3 times and made him tackle the door back to yellow gem, but with no effect :/
There is currently a bug in the Armour Boss which means it can't be defeated, I'm going to fix this shortly
David Harmon March 13th, 2010 at 00:43
If 0.52 was supposed to be the fixed version, it isn't. After I took off its armor for the second time, "Patches" (I named your doggie :-) ) froze in place, with no exit. I still haven't figured out how to damage it, unless I'm supposed to somehow nail the tongue while it's out.
It says it needs the yellow gem, which the boss still has. BTW, the multiple keypresses and waits needed to enter the fight are a bit annoying -- maybe you could merge them into the cutscene?
David Harmon March 13th, 2010 at 15:56
More specifics on the current bug: It's actually freezing at some random point during the fight. At that point, I can stand in front of it and knock off all its armor, but it won't go into the "charge".
David Harmon March 13th, 2010 at 16:37
Back to gameplay: beating on Patches while he's knocked out seems to have no effect (even health loss), and he comes back quickly. The hanging canister and its switch seem useless so far. (Possibly powered by the same generator?) (I do note there's a perch "on top of" the canister) The buzz-saw blades don't seem to do anything useful, unless I'm supposed to catch them in the canister somehow.
marvn March 14th, 2010 at 12:49
david: you have to get yellow gem from the boss while he's knocked out.
btw. if i understand it right, the game ends (for now) after you make that yellow liquid using the blender?
Thank you very much for the video, but there were no any new thing :) I tried all the evening long yesterday, but failed. And today in the morning, after watching your video, I just tried once and, voila!, passed it! Thank you :)

OK, got past Patches. Now going through the Fortress Mines again, and found a gameplay bug:
After using the first "exit lift" switch, then going back to activate and go down the initially locked lift, you get to a downslope with bats. Unfortunately, those bats can become embedded in the floor at the base of the lift. As it turns out, you can still kill them there, but it's still buggy.
