Heya folks! I wrote this post last week, but forgot to post it. Woops! You’ll see a few strikethroughs like this in places I’ve updated today. As planned, I’ve turned my attention to the wild performance issue that is the directory-watcher we’ve been using. First off, why do we need one? We need to watch directori...

The Beta has ended, the era of live-search has begun! Up until now, you could view things in the library and filter them by their tags. The search box allowed you to find tags, and the view would change only when you added or removed a tag. Today, the search has gained new powers. It searches your entire library based ...

This patch contains some simple bug fixes.The current build on the beta branch is now what we intend to release.Due to the long Easter holidays here in Norway, we will release on Tuesday, the 7th of April.See you then!

Here are few more fixes and improvements as we close in on feature release day.More optimizations to the grid viewClear search when switching to a folder in asset-libraryBetter positioning of scrollbar in HeroForge browserLower resources usage when library is hiddenAssorted small bug-fixesBack soon with a release!

This patch brings a fix for the new cache for mod.io requests.The Beta is going well. We'll have some more tweaks landing before the release next week.Have a nice weekend folks

It is Beta time again!For all details and instructions on how to join the beta, see: https://talespire.com/welcome-to-the-live-search-betaThis is a big one; We've done a major rewrite of the library UI to facilitate all the new changes around the new search. Part of the changes are:Live search in library (you see results...

Evening folks!A week and a half back, I started splitting my time between VFX and     the performance of the new live search system.The search itself is decently quick, comfortably fuzzy-matching thousands of assets a millisecond[0]. What sucked was that once it was wired up to the UI, the search felt bad. You might have...

Do your fans try to escape your machine when running TaleSpire? If so, this patch might be for you! We have a fix for a long-standing threading issue that has been causing CPU usage on some machines to be noticeably higher than would otherwise make sense. Here are some very rough observations that we’ve made: WARNING:...

For nearly two years, I had a ticket in my list from Ree saying that, in the Unity editor, once he entered play-mode, the fans on his machine were spinning hard and didn’t settle down even when he returned to edit-mode. It was odd, but because I couldn’t replicate it and because it was just affecting us, I hadn’t priori...

Evening all!Today I helped test and ship a small patch, did some planning, and worked some more on the VFX system.On the VFX side, I've started adding support for quaternions. In one of my old hobby projects, I wrote a Lisp-to-GLSL compiler and a maths library to go with it. Part of the math library was support for quate...

This is a very unexciting patch from a gameplay point of view, but it has some stuff we need to make the game more robust. Changes include: Fix the console as it was starting late and so was missing some important logs during startup Internal changes to support better workarounds in case of server connectivity issue...

Evening all, Was a bit of an uphill day, but stuff got done. We kicked off with the build server getting confused and failing builds. Then I had misunderstood a task and only partially implemented what was needed. So that whole build had to go through again. We hadn't merged a git branch, and so some assets were also mis...

Hello again,Last devlog, I talked about how we found some UI issues with the new search systems while reviewing and testing, so let's talk about what I've done about that.Let's start with the visually most fun ones, the bugs:These should be fixed now (though I'm sure I'll find one or two more before release) - the first ...

Heya folks, Wait.. I already did this today. I wrote a dev-log, and then told myself, “Alright, I’ll just code this one thing and then post it”… and now it’s midnight. So, just before my original dev-log here is the one from today: I worked on exactly the kind of polish I mention below, with lots of focus on how th...

Heya folks,Busy week so far.Monday was mainly spent on getting things compiling again in the effect system project. With that done, I got to fixing the logic bugs from the massive refactoring.This is going well and, other than having to spend hours wrestling with Unity in order to get the editor behaviour we want[1], thi...

Hey folks, Work continued well on the code that reconfigures effects on the fly in response to artist changes. I mainly focused on error handling, but I'm now getting into the code that updates the compute-shader uniforms.With that, I should finally be through the main effect-driver refactor, and will get on to the edito...

Hey,I've now firmly arrived at the last 10% that (at least feels like) takes 90% of the time regarding search. But first, let's cover the 90% that are done:TaleWeaver: Our internal version of TaleWeaver now has all the new tag stuff integrated, meaning we can actually use it for our own assets. I'm happy to report that m...

Today I continue plugging away at our effect system. I’ve been steadily writing code to handle the various ways an artist may reconfigure the effect while it runs. It’s a lot of work, but I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Tomorrow I hope to finish the code around particles that spawn other particles, a...

Allo folks, This dev-log is for the last two days I’m working on the code that runs an “effect” as defined in our particle system. This code is currently called the “effect-driver” which may change, but will do for this log. The effect-driver is a MonoBehaviour (a component that lives on Unity’s GameObjects and gi...
