Really happy to have managed to squeeze this feature into Hour by Hour!
You can take a photo of a physical time plan - e.g. a conference schedule (or in this case animal related activities at our local farm park!) and it'll import it seamlessly into the app so you can follow along.

TL;DR Unity -> Godot transition: after 13 years in unity, it took me 4-6 weeks of getting adjusted, and now i’ll never go back. it has quirks, like other engines. there’s bugs. but it’s free, basically equally capable, and well reported issues get fixed quicker than in unity (sometimes within hours)

To be clear I prefer the way it works in Godot!
I spent years being frustrated in Unity that I couldn’t edit *and save* the original scene in Godot while playing.
Of course it’s a trade off, I understand the downsides but the Godot way is fantastic when you get used to it.

Yes true, you can do this in game view, though it doesn’t feel quite as convenient as doing it in scene view. It’s 90% of the way there though, and the advantage of being able to edit the original scene in scene view more than makes up for it IMHO

Nah not play mode -> original. Just visualise their current state and mess with them to experiment and debug.

Yeah but it doesn’t affect scene view. A lot of people like to inspect and mess with the play mode objects visually

Though as far as I’ve been able to tell you can inspect/tweak the hierarchy but you can’t see the live game version of the active scene in the scene viewer (unless I’m missing something?)
BUT while I’d love that as an option I prefer it this way - I can edit the *original scene while playing*

That's not something the app directly supports via a specific feature, but could add multiple events and then delete one once you're sure which bus you'd get, it's something I've done in the past!

It's an app I started over a year ago but then got sidetracked with my other app Substage (and obviously inkle stuff as always!) Excited to get this out now...

Ugh. That’s so weird, and I’m SO curious about which store gave a shit. Your originals were hardly off brand!

I dunno why that’s stuck with me all these years. I guess because it seemed weird at the time? “So you want to wear your PC as a coat?”
I don’t remember the name of the kid but I kinda wonder what he’s up to nowadays!

I kept asking him and pressuring him to reveal his secret idea. Eventually he told me, and no one else, and said that I mustn’t tell ANYBODY.
And I haven’t! Until now. His idea:

When I was a kid in the early-mid 90s, on a camping trip (in the Scottish Highlands of course), another boy told me he had a really amazing idea. But of course he wouldn’t tell ANYONE.

The Wayward Strand team was even the first that had access to the public version of ink, they started using it right before we fully went open source.

I think the biggest thing that’s missing from Godot is a 1GB “launcher” that takes 20x longer to load than Godot itself and uses all your memory. And requires an internet connection to check the licence that you don’t actually need.
