I was gonna take a break

but then ended up doing a lot of things anyway, watching anime will have to wait (sorry log horizon)

Holozing Survival Arena

spent most of the day trying to get the sub-game running in the browser, basically unity webgl throgh a dedicated server over websockets gated by hive keychain login. Before these changes it had only ever run in the Unity editor, so we attempted to plumb every feature through a real client-server split so the game would behave the same way on browser as it did in the unity editor.

The main issues were healing & targeting, you weren't able to target creatures and the icon showing that they're currently being targeted, even though it worked perfectly in the editor. Floating numbers weren't showing up, neither dmg nor healing, but the hp bars did for some reason. Player was also not earning new coins when defeating enemy creatures nor were they able to move creatures by rightclicking to where they wanted them to stand. Lastly, mana bar of the healer was also missing.

So most of the day went by adding these back, rebuilding which uses my own hardware, checking if it got implemented and if it works correctly, then repeating that process a few more times... UNTIL, claude decided to let me know there's a multiplayer mode in unity that checks a lot of these things in the editor so you don't need to do this back and forth thing... A bit late claude but better later than never I guess. Something new I learned which is going to be important for when we migrate the MMO over which is going to require a lot more "online" things.

We got most of those things working a lot quicker once I enabled multiplayer play mode.

Scrobble.life

This one received a lot of new things today, as my attention was a bit more free while the game was mostly recompiling over and over and checking if things worked as they should now.

Per user stats dashboard is now live!

Here's a screenshot of mine:

You can also create a card by pressing the "share card" button at any time that you can share with users as an image:

We also ended up adding movie/tv show runtime for those that runtime exists on wikipedia, this gives people a better idea about how much time has been spent when they log/review movies, similar to scrobbling music.

We also created a weekly recap bot that will send images of your top artists that week along with an all time card automatically through a comment to you. You can also opt-out of these messages whenever you want.

Had to make sure the comments don't get stuck based on hive's comment limitations per block or that it wouldn't shoot out the comments at the same time as the daily posts as to not interfere with each other.

We also added artist pages now that'll list the top songs listened to by the community, but currently it's a bit hard to find those pages as clicking on the artist in the logbook sends people to the song mentioned there and not the artist specifically. Will look into that tomorrow.

Thanks for reading and checking out my apps!
