Released v2.5.0 - GameJolt API 1_2, Unity 5.5


Last week GameJolt has updated their API to a new version and added a bunch of new cool features, for example you can now get the user’s friendslist :D

This release has also one big internal change, from now on it only supports Unity 5.5 and higher. I’ve decided to drop support for older Unity versions, because only less than 6% of Unity users are still using older versions and these last few percent are slowly migrating to newer versions. Furthermore with this change we can finally use the UnityWebRequest directly and don’t need to use the deprecated WWW-class.

So if you’re still using Unity 5.4 or older, I’m very sorry for this change, but you can still use the last version (2.4.0), which will stay online.
But of course, I would suggest to upgrade to a newer Unity version. You can probably upgrade to Unity 5.5 without any changes in your code. Just make a backup and try it out.

Changes

Add

  • More User Infos (see issue #24)

    • SignedUp, SignedTimestamp, LastLoggedIn, LastLoggedinTimestamp, DeveloperName, DeveloperSite, DeveloperDescription

  • Trophies.RemoveTrophy API call (see issue #25)

  • Implemented Scores get better_than/worse_than options (see issue #22)

  • Implemented Friends API (see issue #23)

  • Sessions.Check (see issue #4)

    • Currently this method uses a little workaround, because GameJolt misuses the success argument for this check.

    • Once GameJolt has fixed it, we have to adapt the check method.

  • DataStore.SetSegmented (see issue #16)

    • Workaround for GameJolt’s 1MB per request limitation.

    • This method will therefore upload the data in several smaller parts.

Changed

  • Now using GameJolt API 1_2

  • Bumped minimum Version of Unity to 5.5 (see issue #15)

  • Replaced WWW with UnityWebRequest (see issue #14)

Removed

  • Removed WebPlayer, because Unity has dropped it in Version 5.4

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

A house I've built a while ago. :)

It nicely separates the snowy biome from the grassy one.

It's built with painted Ebonstone.

Very ambitious construction going on in Planet Zoo on Plays today. We're tryin'. LIVE: www.twitch.tv/dreamhackplays

I mostly build 3D First Person Shooter game mechanics in Unity, and in this I'm just showing C4 mechanics I made for a little side project I am working on! :)

We're knee deep in multiple large features and "game feel". Quick peek behind the scenes in this weeks Dev Blog: https://bit.ly/2QmmaQM

The Authority decided to investigate the Basement and leads to recovering classified documents Fun fact: The building has 928 doors and not 1000 doors. #horror

Hey you, rookie! Yes, I am talking to you!! Come over here? Relax! Just stick to me and everything will be fine. By the way, my name is James Varhuher, but you can call me Big J. I will bring you up to speed.

I thought I would do a quick show and tell, with a 2 min video of the start of the game and some of the game elements, after many many months it is really starting to come together, time to start networking https://gamejolt.com/games/Dungeon_fable/490669
