DEVLOG
Ren'Py Engine Update
With the efforts of the creator PyTom and many Ren'Py peoples, I was able to apply an improved engine. Android support, OpenGL and DirectX acceleration, other many fixes and improvements have been applied. I am also currently involved in the Korean translation of the engine.
Android
After updating the engine I built a new TEEN version for Android. I expected better performance on Android. As expected, it worked great on my test devices. But however, my app has been removed from Google Play because a crash error has been reported.
signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 1 (SEGV_MAPERR) SDL_main pid: 0, tid: 0 >>> github.io.yggdrasilstudio.kndwteen <<< backtrace: #00 pc 00000000000016fc /data/app/github.io.yggdrasilstudio.kndwteen-PhqUeVImbv12os7LZQoqrw==/lib/arm/libmain.so (SDL_main+79) #01 pc 000000000000131f /data/app/github.io.yggdrasilstudio.kndwteen-PhqUeVImbv12os7LZQoqrw==/lib/arm/libmain.so (Java_org_libsdl_app_SDLActivity_nativeInit+230) #02 pc 000000000002bdb1 /data/app/github.io.yggdrasilstudio.kndwteen-PhqUeVImbv12os7LZQoqrw==/oat/arm/base.odex
I thought it was related with the Adreno GPU(not Ren'Py's fault). And the backtrace, only three lines recorded there. I built the app again, by reducing the size of the presplash image to 800x480(1280x720 before). It worked on the Firebase Test Lab, I re-submitted updated APK to Google Play and it was restored.
News System
After cool my head, I have prepared a update of the Steam version. As a result, KNDW is now has a news system. It is a way to parse JSON on the web and show it in the program. When the player runs the program, a thumbnail appears at the bottom left of the screen. After click it, the original image and text, and the URL link will be output in the center of the screen.
