v0.4.0-dev - The Export Update


Apologies for the months-long absence and thank you for your patience, there were some bumps that pushed the update back, but it should hopefully be functional now! This update doesn't bring many new parts, but rather two big core features, one of which had been heavily requested.


Changes:

Exporting / Importing

A new tab has been added, so you can now generate a code to save your dragon's design to your clipboard, and load other designs into the game too.


So far it's compatible for desktop, browsers, and mobile browsers. The codes should be compatible to use with newer updates for the foreseeable future too.

As a demo, here's the code for the dragon featured on the game cover:

```0010wScc40012c9m40402wcJ590gh008w04J000000043g04GD0K0J00310081001000J000f8000000000000%_+wx5_l%~00PP~w%S~M0000000000000000000000f8~w000000Tk%R000000mc0000000000000000000000000000000000~w00PPf8Dz%R0000,Y0000f8Dz%R0000,Y000000~J000000Tk00,Y00```

(Note: the "```" in the code can be omitted if needed, it won't break the code if it's missing. It's only there to facilitate markdown/discord formatting.)


Linking

Now by default, the main body modifiers will be linked to be edited together. You can click the buttons to link and unlink the modifiers you wish. The parts that can be linked are: body colors, body weights, and editing the front and back legs together.



Other changes:

  • Glow toggles display now as icons instead of text
  • Legs now have claws set as their default first pattern



Character Features:

  • New patterns added:
    • Head:
    Head pattern: Nostril   Head pattern: Lower eye shadow   Head pattern: Top eye shadow
    • Ears:
    Ear pattern: Top only   Ear pattern: Outline
    • Legs/Arms:
    Leg pattern: Lower half
  • New modifiers:
    • Tail tip sizes


Fixes:

  • Fixed text fields not being interactable on mobile browsers. They should now work on the color codes, the exporter, and the importer fields
  • Fixed certain patterns for better display


I will probably switch to discussion boards for next update, to still have access to comments if needed before they get locked when the transition happens. In the meantime, i do have a blog over at Tumblr where i will also post regular updates and behind the scenes.
