After all, other developers may be as clueless as I am. Once they confused both the analyzer and me, at least a comment could be of use.
Some cases may be due to the internal logic of the game itself. There were a lot of suspicious places that looked like inattentive copying. The main reason for these errors is the " last line effect". The better half of errors found by the analyzer in these projects was copy-paste errors. So almost all the errors that I will cite further take place in both projects. Also check out the articles by my colleagues about checking source code of games.Īfter checking, it turned out that a large amount of code overlaps between "The Dark Descent" and "A Machine For Pigs", and the reports for these two projects were very similar. So, if you are interested in what errors are made in games, you can read my previous articles. I especially like delving into source code of games. In case someone is not familiar with PVS-Studio yet, this is a static analyzer that looks for errors and suspicious places in source code of programs. But I liked watching this game run through videos on YouTube. The reason is that in horror games I play by one algorithm: install, run for five minutes, exit by "alt+f4" at the first creepy moment and delete the game. Frankly speaking, I have never been able to play through it, even a bit. "Amnesia: The Dark Descent" was released in 2010 and became a cult game in the survival horror genre. Especially since the new part of this game-series - " Amnesia: Rebirth" is released on the 20th of October (and at the moment of posting this article the game is already released). Why not use the static analysis tool to see what dreadful mistakes are hidden in the inside of these cult horror games?Īfter seeing the news on Reddit that the source code of the games " Amnesia: The Dark Descent" and " Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs" was released, I couldn't pass by and not check this code using PVS-Studio, and at the same time write an article about it. Just before the release of the "Amnesia: Rebirth" game, the vendor "Fractional Games" opened the source code of the legendary "Amnesia: The Dark Descent" and its sequel "Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs".
