After this I have som...

TaleSpire Dev Log 507

Hey again folks, In the last banter, I was reminded of the fact that the hide plane[0] doesn’t hide hide-volumes, and that that sucks for playability. I promised to get on that so, after the last fixes, I got stuck in. I hope to have a beta out for that tomorrow. We’ll see how that goes. It does two things. The ...

Heya folks. It was lovely to see a bunch of you on the bimonthly banter last week. Since then I’ve been keeping busy. Monday was spent on research. I had a terrifying number of tabs queued up, and it was time to work through them! The reading was not focused on a specific feature, but instead is about giving me new too...

Patch: Big file-watch performance improvement

This is a very behind-the-scenes fix!We have code that keeps an eye out for when local community content is added, edited, or removed. The library we were using for this was doing the job correctly, but in a rather wasteful way. In this release, we have replaced it with our own code, and it's much zippier now.We are noti...

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...

Feature Release - Live Search

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 ...

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...

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...
