I love it. Takes guts to start over. But probably a good move in the long run. And you’re never fully starting over either, just retracing steps and finding new ones.

Are you also making a game? And is it for watchOS?

Currently upgrading my engine. Like adding support for sprite sheets, rather than having to prepare hundreds of image files. Collision for wall tiles. Being able to place tiles and objects on the same grid.

Hopefully soon. Here’s a quick preview of a previous build: www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8yhhfPx/

That sounds like great advice and will probably save me many headaches 😄

Definitely wishing there was a bigger community around SpriteKit. Finding myself building a custom engine on top of SpriteKit and trying design a good architecture for it.

Making StepRPG: level up with steps, collect pets that evolve, lead your pets into battle against goblins and other monsters.

Nice setup! Super clean. I like the wall-mounted utility board to the right too.

This looks really clean. How do you think about what goes into assembly and core?

Oh I see! I’m been making a watchOS game using SpriteKit and Swift 5. Good to know that there are challenges with using concurrency in 6; I’ll have to think twice before upgrading.

How else would you make a watchOS game, if not with SpriteKit?
