Help help! :)

I have an existing largisth DR project and did a smaug init and that worked fine. Did smaug run and got the following error. Smaug run works fine on other projects.

Also, the discord invite link on your website didn't work for me.

Workaround:
I needed to add the metadata/ directory and metadata/game_metadata.txt file in order for Smaug to run. Not sure why it didn't tell you that.

I believe the issue should be detected here somewhere:

smaug/cli/src/commands/run.rs

Line 70 in 841a8a5

let metadata_file = path.join("metadata").join("game_metadata.txt");
