Hi all.
I've been using Godot game engine for Porn Empire. When i started working on the game version 2.1 was available. Now they are close to 3.2.
I tried to port to the newer version in the past, but it wasn't successful. Animations didn't work + a lot of other things were broken. It would take way too much time to make everything again. So i was forced to stay.
Over the weekend (and Monday) I tried again and it went surprisingly smooth. Apart from some code rewriting and few cosmetic glitches there aren't any problems.
Why do you ask?
They've made tons of QOL improvements which make my life easier.
Making animations is a little bit faster.
Importing all the sprites is simplified. Which we have a lot.
Scripting language is improved (supposedly also more performant). Bugs are easier to find.
Nobody works on the old version anymore so you never get any new exciting features.
So in in the next few days i'll export test dev builds on the new engine. I just need to change some code and test it. There will be NO new content or anything, just straight up port.
Only thing i know will happen is game will be slower on android if this is even possible...But when they release Godot 3.2, we're back on track.
Otherwise it won't change much for you. You wont even notice apart from some UI elements looking a bit different.
Very unexciting news I know. Next post will be better, i promise.
Thanks for the support.
