In the current release, the user would only know that the game is decompressing (or updating) assets when the launcher started up as normal. If they decided to start the game immediately, they wouldn't see it. With this change, the decompression and the update process can be seen at any time.
Next up
Wrote a tool that installs the game's dependencies. That means Northbridge will always use the latest version of the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime.
Who did this?
Added the option to rebuild the cache. This will clear the cache and then decompress the files from the packages.
While I was busy with my personal life, I've been trying to figure out the aesthetic of this game and since the hourly soundtrack is made in Microsoft Music Producer (an old Windows 98 program) I've decided to make the UI retro stuff inspired :) - Martin
Added a simple audio system to the launcher.
A bit of an old but goodie coming back: Quick Load! In an upcoming update, you can jump back to where you left off with a push of a button.
It's pretty early, but here's a look at a mob manager, handling the enemies in the game. The code streamlines the programming of the enemies. Hopefully, I can expand it to more useful ways.
Welcome back to Esmarna XP!!!! There are new things about this game I would like to talk about! I'm officially BACK to making this game! (more info in the article)
Done some improvements to the backup system. Even added an icon to let you know that it's working.
