Another month has passed, and I've got news!I've been working away at the tag and filtering infrastructure, so let's get you up to speed:Bulk UpdaterLast time I talked about the bulk updater tool in TaleWeaverLite, I mentioned that it "can't update the asset file itself" and "this likely won't ever be a thing". I guess I...

Hi!It's bulk updating time!Since my last update on TaleWeaver Lite, I've spent some time cleaning up the publishing code in preparation for making a way to bulk update existing uploads for all you extremely productive creature creators out there.And after doing said "preparatory code cleanup", I started with the Bulk Upd...

Hey all,It's about time for another update from me.I've been continuing my focus on TaleWeaverLite to get better filtering for community-created minis out to you all. Progress has mostly been good, though some things did get in between.Let's first get to the "in-betweens":About two weeks ago, we released an update that f...

Hi!In my last update, I discussed the log-in flow with mod.io in TaleWeaver. The rest of the UI was still just "empty" stubs - input fields were there, but the data didn't go anywhere. Since then, I finished the first iteration of the upload UI, meaning TaleWeaver is now capable of uploading a creature to mod.io.There's ...

Hey!Today, I got some updates on Input and Tags for you:InputWe've long gotten reports asking us to allow rebinding of more buttons, most often about the mouse wheel button for camera rotation (who knew this many people had broken middle mouse buttons?). As much as that sounds like a "quick and simple thing" to add, it a...

Hi,It's New Year, new devlog time! Due to the holiday break, there's less to report this time, but things are still moving.Since my last devlog, I've continued with more QoL work, fixing small papercuts and spent some time debugging a few trickier bug reports we've received over the holiday period.The debugging was also ...

Hey all!It's been a while again, and I'm really sorry for the long pause in logs. It's truly been a wild two months!Performance ProfilingEver since we released community minis, you've all made an absolutely wild amount of minis ready to be downloaded on mod.io (seriously, almost 5600?!), this is just incredible! Unfortun...

Greetings all!I want to check in with everyone by talking about "gestures, pinging, and intent." One of the most requested features on our feedback board is Player/GM presence tools: Link  While Baggers was visiting here last week, I started playing around with ways to get this feature in and got a bit carried away.This ...

Greetings all!We're currently working on wrapping up the scary pack, so we'll have a slightly belated Halloween. Expect it in the first half of next week (if everything goes as planned)(Banshee by Ðwarf)A bit about new player UX and Seats.As I briefly mentioned during the latest Stream, we're looking into how seats are i...

Greetings all! I’m still working to get my footing after a year away, but starting to find my stride once more. I’ve been working on the Shogun Palace on and off since it was announced and pushed up a version for testing before the weekend. We’re nearly there, but after some feedback, we realized it still needs more pro...

Hello everyone!Two days ago, we released an update to the automatic hide plane placement logic. With this update, we use more info about minis' surroundings to do a better job placing the hide plane in various situations.Since then, we've had some great feedback (Thank you!). The good news is that it works well in a bunc...

Hi,Good news! The hide plane placement experiments I discussed in my last devlog have panned out quite well. We found some minor bugs during our internal testing sessions that I've already fixed, and in general, it's getting close to being ready.But now, let's talk about what it even does. First, we need to recap how the...

Hello everyone,Since my last update, I've finalized a good number of things on the (creature) tags front and made a working proof of concept of the new search logic. It's looking promising, which is very relieving after so much time has gone into it. The tags are much more consistent, and tag synonyms work well (although...

Greetings everyone!First of all, Baggers is taking a well-deserved vacation away from all things keyboards and monitors. He said, “Going to go swim and dine on fish,” paraphrasing him heading out the virtual discord door. But don't fret. He'll be back in approximately two weeksPlease wish him well on his travels!Second, ...

Hey, it's me again!Before we go into the usual devlog content, I want to say that Bouncyrock is officially on holiday from the 19th of December until the 2nd of January - as usual, we will stick around to ensure everything continues to run smoothly. Still, we'll spend most of that time refreshing and relaxing to recover ...

Hey all!Now that we have Apple Silicon macOS support out in Beta, it's time we complete[0] our OS collection, which is now painfully omitting Linux support. This is not just awful because I personally love Linux, but also because it's the second biggest OS on Steam[1], and yes, I am more than a little amused that Apple i...

It really has been a while since my last log, hasn't it?Much of what I did recently, you already know about: Symbiotes. The release was a huge deal, and it's incredibly cool (and slightly frightening) to see people digging deep into the API and documentation details! The release was a huge success with only a few bugs in...

Things have calmed down on the Symbiote UI side, so I can continue to work on the Sequencer. I want to address a couple of things before releasing this Experimental Feature, one of which is how Creature Clips are added.In the previous iteration of the Sequencer, there were three Creature Lanes where Clips could be added....

Hello everyone! Uriah here, and I’m finally writing up a “Dev Log” for my position, which is a very different kind of development from the rest of the team.The past few months have seen me primarily working on various things behind the scenes, most of which we don’t have much to discuss. However, here are the things I ca...

Greetings Everyone!There's not much to show visually this time, but I wanted to send out a minor update regardless.I'm still running high from the Ship Set release. Seeing all the beautiful creations posted on Discord has been an absolute joy. After that Bug Patch last week, I've been helping with Symbiotes's UI code. I ...
