Question - IDE Build runs, but fails, with no error code

Hello,

I've suddenly encountered an issue where running my project seems to have broken. The project launches, and the title screen appears, but I cannot interact with the game and I have to use task manager to close it. I've tried "cleaning" the project, restarting my computer, and reloading a previous version. Reloading a previous version works but I'd lose all my progress today and I'm pretty certain that this isn't a result of bad code on my end.

The output message directed me to check for compile errors but none appear.

The dialogue appears as:

I'm happy to provide any other information that might help. For what it's worth, when I googled this issue I found a thread about someone who had experienced a memory limit by importing a bunch of uncompressed audio, but the only asset I've introduced today is a single sprite less than 75x75.

Thanks in advance for any assistance, I appreciate it!

From the output and your description it looks like it runs fine, but something in the game is not working correctly. Add a breakpoint to the first object in the game, then run the game in debug mode and step through the code and see if you can identify where it's falling over and not working.
