[Background Blog] Astatos - Store Design Update

Hey Patrons, Compymono here!This month I've been working on a bunch of stuff, and one of those things is a complete redesign to the store UI in Astatos!This coming February will mark the addition of the 31st Hero Skin to the game, and things are beginning to stretch the limits of the existing store UI for a few reasons: Currently the game has to load the preview images for every Hero Skin after the tab is clicked, which could cause performance issues as more things are added. The menu is a horizontal scrolling list that can only display 4 i...

Hey Patrons, Compymono here!Today I wanted to share one of the smaller projects I've been working on over the past month outside of Astatos and Nekojishi L&P.For context, we've been aware that due to some depreciating libraries on Android, Beek is going to be needing a new patch to keep all it's functions working on the Google Play store starting next month.At first I was hoping to be able to just open the project files and update everything to the newest versions, that didn't quite feel right knowing there were tons of unresolv...
