TaleSpire Dev Log 326

Hey everyone.

Today has not wanted me to make progress!

I have a few working days before the new HeroForge asset changes are available, so I thought I’d look at other upcoming features. So I:

• reviewed the roadmap
• reread the server chat code
• got an overview of rulers
• came up with more emote ideas
• made some more notes for some potential gm tool for previewing what you players can see

But these are just notes. I wanted to dig into something. I did some reading around Metal (Apple’s graphics API), specifically how to read back data from textures. It looked fun, so I thought I’d dig into Mac support.

So I:

• updated the Unity version
• worked around a new bug
• pulled the latest version of Steamworks.NET

…and then promptly ran into a bug where https requests weren’t working. It’s looking like HttpClientHandler.ServerCertificateCustomValidationCallback is not working, and so certificate pinning is broken.

This is maddening, and I’ve spent a good few hours poking around code to see if another code path would work. So far, it seems not.

This means I should probably roll back to earlier Unity builds to see if they work. However, while this was going wrong, I found some server-side work requiring prompt attention. So it looks like that’s where my time is going next.

Yeah, so it was a bit of an annoying day. I was pumped to make stuff, and I ran into walls instead.

No worries, though. That’s just how it goes some days.

Have a good one.
