Written For an Engine That Wasn't There

First real build attempt tonight and it just refused. Wouldn't compile, wouldn't explain itself clearly, just sat there failing.

Took a while to realize the actual problem: the whole project had been written against an engine version I wasn't even running. Different build settings entirely. It had never once had a chance to work.

Two lines changed and it compiled clean on the first try after that. All that time spent assuming something was deeply wrong, and it was just talking to an engine that wasn't in the room.
