APIs truly are the gift that keeps on giving.We've been hard at work iterating on the API to make it more consistent, usable, and intuitive, and let me tell you: It's always surprising just how much can change on things that I thought were final. But this time, for realsies now, most things are shaping up to their final ...

Greetings everyone!First, thanks to all of you checking out the Attachment Point Beta. I'm closing the beta branch today, and although I was hoping to push the changes Live today, some remaining bugs need fixing before going live. And seeing we're heading into the weekend, I want to avoid spring potential issues for play...

Well, that part is finally sorted, so I want to introduce Pavel Korolev, aka borodust, our Senior Backend Engineer. Pavel has over a decade of experience working on various backe...
While working on the Ship Tile-Set, we realized that rope and sails are tricky to line up. So as an experiment, we've added attachment points. We'd love to get some feedback on this feature.We've done a substantial refactor to Asset data and structure. This is part of a rewrite to pave the way for official modding suppor...
Hey!Yet again, two weeks have passed incredibly quickly and unfortunately there's less to show off because, this time, the cool stuff happened in the code. Funnily enough, we broke almost all of what I showed last time, but rest assured: this is the usual progress of things - gotta break something to make something.The b...
How time flies when you're having fun!It's been way too long since the last update on Symbiotes, so let's fix this today:I've spent a lot of my time making more example Symbiotes and working on the ones I showed off in my last devlog. This includes polishing them so they're easier to understand for others and updating th...
Greetings everyone!I'm sure everyone is waiting for news on the Ship Tileset, and although I don't have an ETA on that yet, we are working on wrapping it up. There are so many pieces and some Tile-types we haven't done before, so there has been additional testing. One of the challenges that came up was regarding sails an...
Heya folks!I'm back again with an update on what I've been touching this last week.SymbiotesChairmander and I kicked off with a long meeting to design the manifest.

'Allo!The latter half of the week has been 100% focused on Symbiotes.In my last post I talked about starting to make a code generator that would take a JSON spec for the API and generate the C# and JS plumbing code required for communicating between the WebView and TaleSpire. That is now working, and it's such a help.It ...
Heya folks.Since we last spoke, I've carried on with my main two tasks, slab upload, and symbiotes.Slab UploadSlab upload is going well. It's always nice when something starts feeling like a feature and not a hack. The progress isn't exciting to show, though. It's been things like:- Side-load the slab data into the cache...
