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…

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

v1.0.4 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…

Hmm, I’m trying out making this geometric weather look more ‘pixel art’…which is kinda cool. Might end up shipping both.

Here we go. This is roughly what I had in mind. I think this works. Coming in v1.0.2

First draft, something like this. The alignment isn’t right, but I think I like the direction.

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.
