I didn't make these tools right away, but out of necessity and passion, I love building tools that improve our workflow and since I've just spent the last two days making brand new cards, these have proven themselves to work well 🥳

completely forgot the 4th one! The ingame console. Based on @jitspoe.bsky.social 's addon, I styled it so that it follows the colour palette of the game and added the option to have commands show up as buttons, also categorised.

My plan in the future is to build a console that is more geared towards creating UI elements (sliders, dropdowns and such) in order to alleviate the issue of forgetting what commands are available and what parameters they take. Can't wait.

These are great. I assume you did these things manually first and then built the tools to help with production. Are they all in editor or are some of them standalone apps?

Yup! Spent some time working with resources directly, the only exception is the range pattern dock, that one I built right away, there was no way I was going to be doing 2D bool arrays by hand.

All are add-ons, might build an app at one point that does all of this but for now the add-ons work

Nice practical solution! In a similar situation I ended up making a whole custom widget!

krystof-klestil.bsky.social•187 days ago

Oh wow, that looks fantastic!! I initially considered doing it as well, but couldn't justify the extra effort spent relative to the final utility, on the other hand, the widget just looks flipping awesome!!

And that's why you're going to ship your game, and I shelved mine 3 years ago :D
