Devupdates/2022
From Walkscape Walkthrough
Posted on October 31, 2022.
- Introduced irregular DevUpdates to provide more technical explanations and development progress reports.
- The first DevBlog was scheduled for November 28, 2022.
Website
- The WalkScape website was online as a work-in-progress, built using Next.js and React.
- Initially a static page showcasing game features, with design improvements planned and possible future support for DevBlogs and news.
Travelling
- New locations and A* pathfinding were added to the travelling system.
- Locations are connected by routes with varying distances and terrain, which determine the steps required to travel.
- Pathfinding selects the route requiring the fewest steps.
- The travelling interface was nearly complete, with a fuller explanation planned for a future DevBlog.
Development plans and clarifications
- A submitter comment confirmed that the game was not yet available to download. A limited early alpha with basic features and online highscores was being developed, but no Open Beta timing was promised.
- Apple Health and Google Fit integration was being considered to allow progress from walks using only a smart watch. Other sports, particularly cycling, were also planned as possible future sources of progress.
- A later submitter comment explained that the game uses Flutter, with native Swift or Kotlin code able to access operating-system health data.
