in the game loop section, adding an apostrophe to a word causes the resulting text in the pdf to say "undefined'

so like "Step 2: don't die" becomes "Step 2: donundefinedt die"

Nice catch!

Thank you for taking the time to report this. I’ll fix this as soon as possible.

The bug is now fixed so any symbols used in the Core Loop step (including apostrophe's) will now export correctly.

Thank you again for the feedback. You've contributed to making this program better for everyone!

Please, store the GDD WiZARD in HTML and FireBase server. It would be amazing. Its a nice idea. Congrats.

Thank you for the suggestion! For now our priority is polish and bug fixes, as well as adding new translations. We'll definitely be looking into an online option that supports an expanded saving system in the future!
