The checkpoint feature is great, but it seems to incur quite an overhead on storage.

I made a single checkpoint on an existing project, and the size went from 0.82Gb to 1.26Gb

The initial checkpoint for a project is the largest as it takes a complete copy. Later checkpoints will only store changes so will not be as big.

We’ll be updating storage limits to mitigate for the increased storage requirements for checkpoints.

Thanks for your feedback everyone.

The sprites feature has now been released to everyone.

Hi @dave

We are currently using the sprite feature for a 2D game, it works pretty great in general. But I’ve encountered some issues: neither the drawOrder nor the layers of the sprites get cloned properly when I clone an entity, so I had to copy that manually.

The Checkpoint feature seems like a really useful addition! Can I test it out?

Keep up the good work,

Hi,

Thanks for reporting this issue. We’ve already got a fix for this lined up here: https://github.com/playcanvas/engine/commit/e0b5834a0bd521f1a166735b8e6767c1be58a4f5 We should be deploying it later this week.

Thanks,

Hi Tong, I can’t see a way of deleting it either - very weird!
