Gloobs Progress Report #2

Hello World,

Welcome back to another Glooby Update. A few things have been been crankin' under the hood since we've last met. So without further, ado:

First thing of note: THE INDIEGOGO IS STILL GO-GOING. Check it out if you haven't. Now what you really came here for.


1. Bug Reports

Don't spam the screenshots, they are saved locally on your phone
We are human, after all. And while I am a well seasoned Unity Veteran (/s), bugs happen. We've tried to make the game stable, but we can't cover every corner case. So, if or when they appear, we wanted you to be able to tell us about it in a quick and simple way. So, in came the Reporter. You type the problem, and send us the problem, all from the comfort of the... petridish... And it takes screenshots!


2. Detail Cards
The big one on the right moves!
This one is kind of cool. I guess I haven't talked about the Gloobiotic Table at all, but that's because I didn't write it. This is my blog, and I am a selfish person and this is my pedestal (/s?). This panel holds all data on the Gloob in question. That little sign saying unavailable will disappear at some point. It might also not be a log book either, but it's a 'working title'. I kind of know what I want to do with it.

3. ANALYTICS
Look at that professional quality censorship!
I made Google work for us! Keeping track of data is important. This will do that for us. Side note, the documentation for Google Analytics has left much desired from me. My body was ready for something I did not receive. Regardless, I made it do my bidding.

To be fair, they did make a Unity Plugin which expedited the process. It has a lot under the hood, so I imagine that a lot of work I didn't have to do was put into it. Which is a huge +1. So I made it a bit easier to use across the game, and plugged it in. 

And that's a wrap for this post. I'll be back in a yet undetermined amount of time with more screenshots and updates about the game. Again, let me know if you've read this, or what you think of Gloobs, me, or if there is anything lacking with my writing style. 

Until next time,
-Eric
