Hikari Devlog #22

Hello everyone, welcome to Devlog #22 of Hikari! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Game API Fallback

So, talking about the updates, I have added a fallback option.

After the RAWG API, I first tried using the Giant Bomb API.

I worked on it for some time, but then I realized that the API wasn’t working anymore. They had closed it, I mean, they don’t provide the API anymore, so it doesn’t work either. (╥﹏╥)

So, I decided to switch to another API.

I switched to the FreeToGame API, and it is currently working as a fallback for RAWG.

Trailer & Genre

I have also worked on the trailer section and the genre section.

For some reason, they both genre filter and the trailer option are not working.

But I have confirmed that the FreeToGame API is working as a fallback. (￣▽￣)ゞ

I still have to figure out what is wrong with the genre filter and trailer option.

Cover Image

Also, the cover/poster image from the FreeToGame API is genuine.

What happened before with the RAWG API was that it used to provide a screenshot of the game instead of an actual cover.

But for FreeToGame API, it has the actual poster/cover.

The only problem is that, for some reason, the poster is not very high quality.

You can see it just by looking at it. (￣▽￣;)

But when I tried adding some screenshots [from freetogame api], the screenshots were actually of really nice quality.

Still, I decided to keep the actual cover as the cover instead of using a screenshot.

I thought that was better.

Let’s see if there is another API where the image quality or cover/poster image is better. :3

What’s Left?

Yeah, I still have things to work on, even though I have already spent a lot of time on this.

I still need to fix the genre filter and the trailer option.

Let’s see how it goes! (ง •̀_•́)ง

That’s It!

Yeah, that’s it for this devlog!

If you have any questions, then please do tell me in the comments.

Thank you so much for reading, and have a very nice day!
