Dashboard got some design lovin’, to make it more unified with the rest of the site. Mainly moving the “New project” to the top of the projects list, fixing colours, and tightening the rows (man, those gear icons were weird).
…clicking on the “Post comment” or “Post dev log” button twice would result in two instances of the comment/post.
Upcoming features:
Generate HTML5 playable. If your project is hosted on Defold’s servers, this will allow you to build a HTML5 playable directly from the “Settings” page.
Better dev log/forum integration. We will do changes to the dev log system, which basically will result in not having dev logs in both forums and Sticky Iron.
Link community page to Github repo. This will allow you to link a Github repo to your community page, meaning we will display the README .md and LICENSE .md, instead of having them as two separate instances. Further along, we could add features like “Build HTML5 playable” from the Github repo, and similar—but this is a first step.
I can’t reproduce it with neither the “add images” nor “add attachment” overlays – could you specify what dialog/overlay you’re talking about?
If you’ve come to have fun, you’re at the wrong place, buddy. Nah – but I think it’s a built-in discourse thing which doesn’t serve that much of a purpose, really.
Thanks, we’ll look into it!
Or a super-intelligent AI, predicting what you’re about to do?
Are you referring to when you upload the HTML5 playable .zip? If so, then I agree. IIRC, there was some reason a long time ago why we took this decision, but I can’t recall why. Will add an investigation task!
Second project trying to start and instanly stop loading. Yes project working locally and on other portals. Maybe deal in portret game canvas orientaion 480x720? Started game overlay has quadric size http://prntscr.com/gxb06v
Thx.
PS i see Community Portal publishing progress is very easy and informant. By the level of convenience similar to itch.io, and much more better than kong, newgrounds, gamejolt. Thx for you work!
You mean that the HTML5 playable didn’t load at all? Regarding the sizing, we have an issue in the backlog for this—I’ll let you know once we’ve shipped a fix.
Thanks for the kind words . Any features you’d like to see in the future?
Yes, project didn’t load and didn’t play. But after a day project loaded and started in normal flow, i dont update build. So i think someone fix issue on you side.
Beta feature: Users are now able to build their HTML5 playable directly from the Dashboard
This is currently only possible if the project is hosted in the Defold Cloud (i.e. if you created the project from the Dashboard). Please note that we have noticed a couple of projects where the building process fails, while still being able to build the project in the editor—hence the “Beta feature” tag. Uploading your HTML5 playable naturally works, if the web builder should break for anyone.
This isn’t really a feature, but we used a lot of time this sprint to vastly improve our quality tools. Unit tests now run at build time to reduce production bugs, and will—in general—make the site a lot more stable.
Fixed an issue where…
…certain tags broke the right column on asset pages.
…fixed an issue where the user travelled in time(basically we just changed the copy from “from now” to “ago” in dev log posts and comments)
…users were able to add more than six tags.
…certain characters (non-ascii characters) caused errors when users tried to edit dev log posts and comments.
Feature: Link asset community page to Github repo. This will enable you to connect a Github repo to your community page, which will result in your readme.md being displayed as your overview text, as well as add a link to your license.md (where applicable) so you won’t have to maintain two instances of the description.
Our Django instance was updated, due to the old version was classed as insecure.
Fixed an issue where…
…some playables were too tall, resulting in not-so-nice croppin’ and scrollin’. The fix was done in how the engine outputs the HTML playable—so while the fix will not affect playables which are already on Sticky Iron, it will affect all new HTML5 bundles.
…tags were not displayed on the settings page.
…the spotlight section on defold.com was not visible.
…the “Post comment” button was misplaces on dev logs.
Due to vacation and team off-site (with three exploration days—expect cool things!), Sticky Iron development will be on hold for the next two weeks.
. Any features you’d like to see in the future?
