Hit a bug in @WindboundGame that is either the worst possible thing they could have, or a possible new way to make the game more challenging. If you enable the blessing Arms of Imakl suddenly I losing things at random, even in held items, and usually after restoring from a save.

The irony of it is this one blessing in the game is *supposed* to help you keep a couple extra items if you die, and give you a couple slots. I tested that it's randomly losing items by actually crashing my boat 20 times and lost nothing. Also dived in the water and nothing.

But, save, and reload, and yep, lost a couple things. I think what's going on is the blessing adds two inventory slots, and the devs added it late, so they get the count wrong on reload and drop two items.

Now...is this a bug or a feature....? Hmmmmm.

The programmer in me says, "Horrible bug. How did they not notice this. The screen is even messed up when you enable it."

The gamer in me goes, "Hmmm. This could add an interesting mechanic that punishes me if I try to save and come back. Random chance losses could be fun."

WTF I'M RIGHT! The two slots that are added by this one blessing are not *saved when you save*. Wow. You a trash coder person who wrote this. Here's a screenshot after a save, and now those two slots are missing. Look at Held Items. Ok, now I'll put two things in there...

Ok, now I moved my sling and some sling rocks to held items, that fills all the slots. Now the EVIL thing about this bug is it *only* takes your ranged weapons. I had some bad ass bows that are just gone. Alright, watch what happens when I save and recover.

Tada! First image is right after restore and yep, sling and ammo gone. Took two tempest bows, slings, and ranged weapon I made. For comparison the second image is before the save so you can see it's right back.

Wow, what an idiotic bug. You literally can't count past 7?

I also can't change these blessings until I finish this level, and this happens if the game crashes. I'll have to test if I can just leave those two slots empty and it'll not take my gear, but chances are I just have to run through to get to change the blessing and then remove.

So, @WindboundGame, tell your devs, if you have the Arms blessing enabled, your save routing on Switch loses the ranged weapons in the Held Items and fails to refill the two additional slots, so people constantly lose their ranged held weapons. Before and after images:
