Here is a fun little tweak that is coming in an update soon.In TaleSpire, we love the tile-based approach to things. We also love what can be achieved with clipping but, due to tiles have similar sizes, it's easy to cause z-fighting.Yesterday, Ree suggested I try to add a tiny offset to the positions, so they were less l...

Hi folks!The last few days of works have felt really good. I've been back in the flow as I have got through the 'working things out' stage.The first thing I did was write the serialization code for the new creature data. With this done, I could hook up the code to upgrade from the old format, refactor a whole bunch of st...

Hi again folks. I'm just dropping in to give an update on my last few days of work.My current work is focused on changes to support upcoming improvements to creatures. These include polymorph, eight stats per creature, and persistent emotes.Creatures are a pain to change as unique creatures are stored in the database, wh...

Still, a while a...

"And the coder said, let there be light, and there was light. But it was super buggy."In this patch, we have a fix for cases where getting close to lights could cause them to temporarily turn off.This one has been annoying us all for ages, so it's lovely to finally be shipping this fix.This patch also contains a change t...

Hi folks.At the time of writing, I'm about to push an update. In the changelog, there is a line that looks like this:"This patch also contains a change that will hopefully improve performance for machines with high numbers of cores."I wanted to talk about this change as I think it will be interesting (and maybe counterin...

Heya folks,We are currently working on the last things before we'll be ready to ship the 'props on bases' feature. This is a super exciting one, and I expect it to be used and abused in very interesting ways.Last night, however, I took a little detour to look at a bug that has been around since the chimera build. Lights ...

We are back with another bug-fix. This bug was a really sneaky one that could cause crashes in very large boards with lots of creatures.Like with yesterday's patch, we are putting this out immediately in order to help those who have been struggling, as opposed to waiting to batch it up with other fixes.Until next time!BU...

This dev-log is an update from just one of the developers. It does not aim to include all the other things that are going onWhile we work on the 'props as creatures' feature we talked about the other day, I've switched tasks to look at some bugs hitting folks in the community. To that end, the next patch will have the fo...

Hi everyone!For the last few days, I've been working on a new feature. It's still very WIP, but here is a quick video showing off the idea:And here are a few points I forgot to mention in the video:Currently, we are only planning this for props, not tiles or slabsIt might be neat to expose prop interactions (for example,...
