TaleSpire Dev Log 477

Good evening folks,

Today, aside from work around the discord community, I’ve been working on tag search.

When we ship full tagging for creatures we also want to replace the current library search with one that is fast enough to update the results as you type, and incorporates fuzzy searching of the asset names along with the tags.

This gif shows me testing the wip search in the unity inspector. The in-game visuals will be as you remember (with a little extra goodness) but this is just some debug-ui for me to see that I’m getting the kind of response I’d expect.

Next up I’ve got some cleanup and changes to avoid a couple of places where we are unneccesarily allocating memory.

After that I’ve got to make sure it work with packs loading and unloading on demand. This naturally happens a lot when you install and uninstall community made creatures.

Then I’ll add the fuzzy name search, and we should have all the pieces we need to start integrating it into the game. I’m, of course, expecting some other hiccups along the way, but thats fine.

Until next time folks.

Peace
