v0.7.0 — renaming Whimsy to Whimtale, polish, and bugfixes
Whimtale game engine » Devlog
✨ New features
- Scenarios: Add a new block “Open URL”
⚡️ Improvements
- Asset browser: Add a wiggle animation for assets when sorting mode is enabled, so this state is better communicated visually
- Palette & Tile editor: Improve the display of color swatches and where the palette is placed on vertical layouts
- Projects: The default projects will now have four colors to match built-in assets
- Rename Whimsy to Whimtale. Update links and logos
- Scenarios: Add a custom error message to “Set hero’s costume” block when a costume was not set by a user/was unset due to other reasons
🐞 Bug fixes
- Desktop apps: Saving a project under a different name will now show the new path on the homepage, in the project list
- Palettes: Removing a used palette color will also properly unset branding colors in the project settings
- Runtime: Fix overlaid scenario executions when you load a game while another scenario is running (for example, in the middle of a dialogue chain)
- Scenario editor: Fix regression in the “Go to problem” button’s action in the Debugger panel that appeared after separating the Scenario editor in its separate bundle. This button now properly focuses onto the block that raised the error
- Tile editor: Fix a couple issues with the tile importer
💭 Other
- Update Russian translation
- Remove unneeded console.log from the runtime
