I am drunk on power after realizing Godot lets you embed textures in RichTextLabels, and well... ViewportTextures are textures. 🤯

So, I needed to target android 35, so I reworked the whole backend because why not. And fixed the old replays. And look, the HUD is ugly, let's redesign. But deadline is coming! Anyway, new version is released, give it a try. lotofstudio.games #HomeSheepHome #indiedev #solodev #GodotEngine

I saved replays of my game #HomeSheepHome in a binary format to save space. Yesterday I saved one replay in a JSON format. It was ~20% smaller. I save a lot of double (coordinates) that use 8 bytes each. JSON saves it like "5.7" practically in 3-6 bytes. It gzips better too. #indiedev

I spent half of today setting up firebase emulator on my pc working together with #GodotEngine First issue: godot resolves localhost to ipv6 and doesn't fall back to ipv4. Firebase listens by default on ipv4 only. You need to add host:"::" to all emulators.

Ok, it's official, my first contribution to an open-source project is merged! 3 lines only but still, feels good. Also, it will speed up my first game #HomeSheepHome. #GodotEngine #indiedev #solodev

I spent couple of hours trying to connect to firebase from #GodotEngine. Finally I went to see the source code of the plugin and realized that if I change my DB name, it doesn't work. Maybe it's time for me to submit a fix. #indiedev

Unfortunately, there’s no built-in way in #GodotEngine to retrieve a custom scene tile from a TileMapLayer. My workaround: loop through the children and match them by position. #indiedev #solodev

After I realized my TileMap is usually tiny (like 10-20 tiles) I went with a brute-force approach. Result is satisfying. Also it's only a few usec. #GodotEngine #indiedev #solodev

Played a lot with Godot's TileMap. There are some room for improvements (e.g. if you use PackedScene as tile, there is only a cumbersome way to get the instance of that PackedScene in a specific coord) but in general I got it worked smootly even programatically. Great tool. #GodotEngine #indiedev

Just finished the prototype of the second puzzle. In the meanwhile #homesheephome doubled it's player number so looks like I need to watch and improve there as well. #indiedev #godotengine

This was a tough year start but slowly getting back on track. Already started working on a new puzzle game for my wife's birthday. Hopefully she will appreciate it. :) #hopeneverdies

The Patrons on Discord voted for an Animation Library pack! And I had to make a testing animation 😂
Should be coming in a few weeks. Compatible for retargeting in Unity, Godot and Unreal 👀
Stay tuned!

Aaaaand the new backend is finally deployed to the cloud for testing. Tomorrow I aim for the new version of the app to be released (for internal test). #HomeSheepHome #GodotEngine

Weirdest bug: game freezes when changing HUD with animation. Only on device. No error message. Added a few "print" and suddenly it started working. Most likely the issue (index out of bounds) froze the game during tween animation but with prints it had enough time to finish. #GodotEngine #indiedev

When the authentication works like charm and you are happy that you can release but let's run a final test and the whole game freezes without throwing any error and only on the mobile device... #HomeSheepHome #indiedev

Finally, I got the google play services plugin working. It's very difficult to get somethings done when you have like 1 hour at night in every 3rd day with interruptions. #HomeSheepHome #indiedev #GodotEngine

An amazing aspect of google play services documentation is that most of the links are broken. Check developer.android.com/games/pgs/an...
You barely can click without getting 404.
