It looks like Watchsmith’s complication rendering isn’t working in the watchOS 7 beta. I think I’ve found the problem and should be able to get a fix out soon, but in the meantime you’ll just get empty entries for all types.
V1.3.3: Adds a little homage to the classic Puzzle game, which I am still rubbish at solving. apps.apple.com/us/app/watchs…
(It uses the lovely Silkscreen font for that perfect vintage feel kottke.org/plus/type/silkscr… )
V1.3.2 just added a new tile game (à la 2048) to the Games area. The board persists between sessions so you can pick up and put down your game whenever you have a minute. apps.apple.com/us/app/watchs…
I just released v1.3 which introduces dynamic, interactive overlay maps. These include an animated radar map, live workout tracking and workout route maps. david-smith.org/blog/2020/06…
Version 1.2 released:
- Adds support for text types for Utility, Simple, Solar, etc
- Support for bezel text on Infograph and California faces
- VoiceOver support for all complications
v1.1 is out. It includes a substantial UI improvement based on the feedback I’ve received. I’ve tried to clear up the parts of the app that were causing confusion. Also, I’ve recorded a longer walkthrough video showing the app in full use. youtu.be/XcamUbXse4E
v1.0.5 rolling out. Primary feature is the ability to select a subset of available calendars or locations for display on a complication. Also, first stage in a lot of fixes to make Time complications update more reliably.
v1.0.4 is out. Fixes a situation where some memberships weren’t getting applied and adds Conway’s Game of Life (in the Whimsy section).
If you aren’t familiar with it, Game of Life a beautiful visualization of complexity arising out of simplicity: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway…
V1.0.2 just hit the App Store. It includes:
- a “pixel art” style hourly forecast
- a rounded hourglass style
- and a lot of little bug fixes I’ve found since launch.
Hmm, I’m trying out making this geometric weather look more ‘pixel art’…which is kinda cool. Might end up shipping both.
The next complication I want to make is a ‘boxy’ weather display for the wide modular slot. Something very geometric and angular. This is my initial sketch of the idea.
I just did the math on how many possible combinations of settings are possible within Watchsmith…for just the Circular type you can currently generate 96,605 unique complications. (!)
Experimenting with a new weather style, a 24 hour dial with the temperature shown both by color and radius from middle. Not 100% sure about it yet, but kinda like the direction.
