Heya everyone,I got back from my break on Sunday, fully rested, and ready to build again!For the last two days, I've been getting back up to speed by looking at the custom URL scheme code again. The last time I was working on this, I forgot that the custom URLs always try to open a new copy of the application they are li...

Hello everyone, Just a short DevLog to confirm that I wasn't able to get the assets out today. They're close to ready, but need to do some final checks prior to pushing it to steam. Here is a shot of the assets going out.So expect these within the next day.Now some sleep! Till next time!

This week we've added the water plane. This is under heavy development and will require some iterations to get right. It does provide something to play with though.NOTE: This upgrade does make changes to the board format, which means it will only work with this version and later. So to make things go smoothly, please mak...

Did another video this week.The water patch is slotted to be released late Saturday. (assuming nothing too bad pops up bug wise).This update will contain updates to the board format, which means board will be updated automatically to support the new features.Till Next time!

Beneath the canopy of the dark forest, creaking bark, croaking giants, and the fluttering of hidden mischief await you.  Discover new magical denizens of the Enchanted Wood in the latest booster pack from TaleSpire!New miniatures include:TreantGiant ToadFairyMagic Weapon (Hammer)NOTE: Water and Terrain are coming out lat...

Today in "I've not been working on line-of-sight but…", we'll be talking about things that ended up higher priority than starting on line-of-sight :POn Friday, I was chatting to Ree about the next tasks on the list, and he suggested that it could be helpful to convert the boards from the beta format sooner rather than wa...

Hi again,Today I started out thinking I'd be working on line-of-sight, but instead, I dug into some issues we've had with builds since the Unity version upgrade.First, one was that the dummy-asset resource wasn't loading reliably on game start. This is very odd, and it feels like it's a Unity bug. As we are currently usi...

Hey folks, Once again, today was mostly spent on physics. Having solved the dice ‘popcorning,’ we talked about yesterday, I was left with an issue that dice would slide around as if they were on ice. It looked like this: I had assumed this was material related and, sure enough, I found several places wher...

Internally we have been calling this bug "popcorn dice", and it's been driving me crazy for a while.As we have our own wrapper around Unity's new physics engine, I had assumed that I was just 'driving' it incorrectly. So today, I sat down and read how Unity's ECS hooks into the physics. I had hoped the mistake was how I ...

Updates from the land of code.The batching/rendering code has reached where we need it to for the Early Access. We see a three times speedup on some of our stress tests, and while there are very clear ways to get more, this endeavor has already left us two months behind schedule, so we need to press on into other feature...

This week we're adding a Compass and an initial version of the Photo Mode. You can open the photo mode by hitting F6. We've also added more graphics settings as well as UI Scaling. The UI scaling will require some work to be perfect, but hopefully, it will help with visibility. New FeaturesCompassPhotoModeGraphics Settin...

Hey folks, I was meant to write this in the morning, but code is distracting :PYesterday I worked on dice physics. I had been concerned by the behavior of dice and wanted to find a good path forward.To be able to see what was going on, I made this test scene. I can reset the dice by clicking the reset 'button.'This is on...

With lights under control, I've turned my evil eye back to physics. Since I replaced the physics engine, gm-blocks and hide-volumes have not been working. This was expected, but it was time to fix them.For sanity, I'm going to call Unity's old physics engine ClassicPhysics, their new one DotsPhysics, and our wrapper Boun...

We have a patch coming out within the next few days containing some smaller features. So I decided a video might be easier than trying to put it all in text and gifs.Here is is: The features still need a bit of polish. I've also started looking at Key-Bindings this week as I was working on refactoring a bit of the Game S...

From the restless taverns and dark alleyways of the city streets to the soaring towers of magic and cursed ruins of ancient battlefields, new heroes have emerged in the world of TaleSpire!After our recent collaboration with Eldritch Foundry and some time at the digital forge, we’re excited to unleash this first batch of ...

Since our move away from GameObjects, we have had to make our own batching, culling, and animation systems. One that I had left for a while was lighting, so it was time to tackle that.First off, the deeply annoying news. Unlike with the BatchRendererGroup, which gave us a way to avoid GameObjects and populate the data fr...

This one is interesting to write as it's fairly downbeat. However, it is part and parcel of making stuff, so let's do it.As mentioned in previous posts, we have known for a while that TaleSpire would not scale to bigger boards using their GameObject abstraction. There was a lot of song and dance from Unity about their up...

It's with a lot of excitement today that we announce our partnership with Eldritch Foundry! Integrating their tooling into our asset pipeline will help us to scale up our production of miniatures and deliver the variety of characters that people are waiting for.We have long loved the idea of working with Eldritch Foundry...
