Comment on I just released my first fully free Android game: Wandering Alchemist (GPS walking game)

Xcode actually has pretty good gps emulation, you can set routes for it to walk.

What tech is this using? Is it a html5 game?

Oh, it’s Godot.

I know you can simulate GPS, but it’s way too clean and predictable. With a real phone you get much weirder behavior. Besides the whole permission topic on real devices.

One player complained about GPS jumping 100 meters away, but their Google Maps had the same issue. So I had to say “I can’t do it better than Google Maps” :D

    But I had to use Godot Mono (with C#). GDScript was way too slow. Especially for the procedural terrain generation.

    interesting! I haven’t built anything for ios since unity back in 2019…
    
    I wonder why it’s so slow?

  Ah okay! I’ve been wanting to make this style of app using webxdc for a long time
