Hello, I hope this is the right place to report a few bugs I have observed in some of my favourite old games, that now have Ruffle intro and now sadly have broken gameplay:

Lord of the Stars - After you kill a boss you get artifact (there are 4 bosses and 4 artifacts) that you can develop by putting stars in, but you cannot anymore, you can only place stars in the items you start the game with.

Achilles , some bug stops thrown spears and enemy arrows from hitting ground and makes them stay in air that disables player from picking fallen spears from ground. This removes core gameplay feature. Game usually starts without this bug but it appears after first or second enemy archer appears and attacks.

Would be happy if these were fixed.

I'm turning off Ruffle for these two and added them to the spreadsheet. Will file bug tickets with Ruffle, too.

@PrinceMiniMod - got a report of two movies with broken site locks (after the preloader), any chance you can fix these?

All fixed, looking forward to the rest! Will try and find a good replacement thumbnail for the series page when this is done, too. The current one is pretty low-res.

The visual issues happen on their other works, I think we'll supplement all their movies with mp4 versions as well.

Looks like D2 had a video version but it was prioritizing the SWF, does that video version from 2018 look ok?

D1 video is processing now!

Hi Tom,

The one i uploaded is noticeably sharper, so you may want to replace it.

here's some:

This swf could be replaced with this one (hides the “Parts 1-4 ” and “Castle II Trailer” buttons. The author says in the description that they don’t work anymore, because of missing offsite files.)
