Working on a game with many exciting ways to make mistakes is great, but occasionally while working on the tutorial I've had these horrifying realisations like "oh god, what if the player flushes this progress-critical keycard down the toilet?" and now I need to add another round of scripting infrastructure to handle this one incredibly specific thing that nobody in their right mind would do

in reply to @trashbang's post:
if they flush it down the toilet a copy appears right where they will need it
naturally this is how you transfer items and weapons to the sewer level to get them past the big metal detector the guards put in
in my last game, some levels had cutscenes that played once you won, in arena levels that you can end in many different locations. The cutscenes were in-engine with the character running over to anywhere that has enough space for the cutscene, but i had to put in so many special cases for "what if someone digs themself into this really stupid corner after inflicting the last enemy with DoT"
This would reinforce the WRONG THINGS 😏
I would totally flush progress critical items if it meant you yelling at me
Doing this will no doubt unlock the secret party ending
Every single post I read about making this game makes me more excited to play it.
And that's how it becomes an easter egg that gets mentioned in lore videos
