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

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

Does anyone know how to figure out the bounding rectangle of an isometric TileMapLayer in #Godot? get_used_rect() is returning it for normal Square not for the isometric. #indiedev #solodev

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

Working on the v2 backend of GooglePlayServices for my game #HomeSheepHome. Planning to create a tutorial when it's done. #indiedev #GodotEngine

Upgrade stories - Signals: Transforming signals in general goes well. I got only one instance where the converted one had syntax error, brackets were not matching. Also, the connect method did not use the new way, it kept using the old, string based one #GodotEngine #indiedev #HomeSHeepHome

Upgrade stories - Theme: Themes are need to be reconfigured. Font size, texture margins are lost. I also had a font size animation which I needed to redo. All together it worth to rethink your theme, the new theme system was more flexible and friendly for me. #GodotEngine #indiedev #HomeSheepHome

Upgrade stories - Material: My building blocks had a spatial material (simple color) saved it to .material file. Failed to load in 4.3. Godot 4.3's BoxMesh has it's own material while 3.5 stored it in MeshInstance and the converter did not moved it in the scene. #GodotEngine #indiedev #HomeSheepHome

Upgrade stories - Animation: I imported the model with no animation. I saved the animations in separate .tres files and applied them on the model on-the-fly. This allowed me to change the model without repeating the animation data. Didn't work in 4.3. #GodotEngine #indiedev #HomeSheepHome

Upgrade stories - File. I'm not sure why but the conversion does not touch file manipulating code. It leaves 3.5 File as is. It does not compile in 4.3 although it's fairly easy to fix. #GodotEngine #indiedev #HomeSheepHome

Upgrade stories - JSON. When upgraded from Godot 3.5 to 4.3 I ran into couple of issues. Let's start with an easy one. If you use multiple JSON parsing in one function you can run into the variable duplication issue, see below. #GodotEngine #indiedev #HomeSheepHome

Ok, it was not the AnimationPlayer. It was the old android addon that I forgot to replace with the new one for Godot 4.3 :) #HomeSheepHome #GodotEngine #indiedev
