Squirly, you bring up some great points, but unfortunately release dates are not always dictated by the developer, but by the publisher(s). And for LDW that is no different. And keep in mind that LDW is basically a mom and pop operation, which is fresh and great to see in this marketplace, but have limited man-hours. Some minor bugs and improvements have to be overlooked in order to facilitate a release date that always seems to be moved up by weeks in most cases. And this happens in all games on this scale. So the developers have to make a decision. What can they fix in the time line they are given, and what can be fixed after the initial release. And it is impossible to test on a wide enough scale to find all bugs. Especially with the vast amount of different systems they run on.
With that said, the flower field bug is a major bug in my book, and would be interested in hearing what the cause is.
Please don’t take this post in a negative way. I did not take yours that way, just wanted to throw out some facts.
