Bumble - Godot Integration

1 min read

Godot Integration

Current Status

✅ Godot build has been integrated! (Dec 10)

Architecture Decisions

React Native Integration

Using born for RN-Godot integration

Limitations:

  • Unable to run Godot scenes in web interface
  • REQUIRES native apps (therefore developer licenses)
  • Desktop version won’t run in React Native
  • Need Godot + Supabase direct integration for desktop
  • Forces mobile-first UI approach

Benefits:

  • godot-react-native is convenient stop-gap while building to get early users
  • Allows rapid iteration

Long-term Direction

Decision: Bumble and Godot build likely separate projects

  • Godot build: Exploratory/narrative focused
  • Bumble: Garden-facing like PvZ Zen Garden

This separation allows each to focus on their strengths.

Technical Tasks

Immediate

  • Godot scene takes basic params and user values from Expo
  • Add virtual/on-screen controls in Godot that work in RN
  • Detect if user is using mobile environment
  • Harvesting in Godot (implement mechanics)

Integration Points

  • Getting Expo version of Bumble “dockerized”
  • Nectar development in RN (honey refineries/automations)

Build Strategy

Decision: EAS build locally, consistently, is the way to go

  • More reliable than cloud builds
  • Better debugging capability
  • Consistent environment
