There is a key visual element that is broken in the submission build of Stay Safe. Due to the presence of this visual bug it is difficult for the player to identify which areas on the gird are exposed to infection. This issue has been addressed in the build that will be uploaded after the jam is over.

Issue

Each person contains grid blocks as child objects that can render on top of the empty grid. Their color is associated with the state of the person (susceptible, infected or recovered). 

These grid blocks are used in various ways to provide visual feedback to the player. Currently they are not rendering above the empty grid as intended.

Fix

The reason for these grid blocks not rendering is because I simply forgot to add the sprites to the grid block objects. The game is trying to render sprites for these objects above the empty grid however the sprites are missing. As a result, the player only sees the empty grid. 

The sprites have now been added to these grid block objects.

Comparison

Before fix: the grid is only showing the block occupied by the infected person.

After fix: the grid is showing the block occupied by the infected person and the nearby blocks that are exposed to the infection.
