Not quite as useful a bug report as it would have been yesterday, but I crashed the editor yesterday by converting a prop to an actor where the prop was used on an existing stage.
After that the stage editor would not load.
I fixed it by deleting the stage in the JSON file and re-creating it, but it was definitely broken otherwise. Sadly I didn’t make a note of the JS error, but it was a missing reference.
Hi there! I'm happy to find this, I love Bitsy but agree that it's definitely frustrating to work with at times. I look forward to watching you develop this further! :)
Are there any plans to allow importing custom palettes in the future? I'd love to be able to grab something off of lospec and import it right into Whimsy.
🤔 I’ll add it to backlog but this feature is pretty minor in its importance; you can edit any colors and add any amount of them with the palette shown in prop, actor, and stage editors, and you can copy-paste the hex-codes from lospec directly into color picker.
The possibility is definitely there! And publishing on Steam is a good idea. Time will tell; I will definitely release them on itch.io first as it’s just simpler to do it here for me as a developer.
Check out Fancade. It's genuinely the best mobile "game engine" to this day imo. It has a full blown 3d voxel-based editor and a unique and fun visual scripting system
Hello! I really like the engine but there is one teeny weenie problem. I have created an actor and added it to my second room. It was visible and solid, and I had the code correct and everything was fine, but the actor wouldn't show up on my screen? I don't get why this happened but please fix asap. Thank you for all your hard work and I think this engine is amazing!! keep it up!
🤔 can’t tell much rn. Does the issue persist when you refresh the page? If so, you can send me your project (the 💾 icon) at cosmomyzrailgorynych@gmail.com (or at Discord) and I’ll see what’s happening.

On another note, do you have a way to make feature requests (if something is not on the roadmap)?

is there any possibility the paid versions land on steam?

this is nice. But is this mainly focused around rpg? Because what if I want to make a fast paced game like a driving game or what not
Then you should use another engine!
:( but I wanna code on my Phoooooone
Try Castles or PocketCode then.

I fixed one bug that caused actors to disappear; perhaps your issue was connected to the same problem.
Thank you so much! I tried to play the game again, and it worked!!! I am so happy.
loving it, cant wait to see the paid versions.
So easy to use I started making a game before I got my morning coffee! I wasn't even thinking about it! I wasn't awake yet!
Can't wait to see what I can do with this when I'm actually paying attention <3
