A (sort of) progress report.


Well… it’s been a while posting any progress reports. I haven’t done much that would be interesting to publish on a Bi-Weekly Update (and I was for a few days on a vacation). I’ve done some work on Immortal Sins, but most of it was to improve my workflow.

First up, I installed additional RAM on my laptop. While it is powerful enough for me to work, the lack of RAM did make working on Visual Studio (and sometimes in the game) a hassle. 4GB of RAM wasn’t enough for the things I wanted to do on the laptop. So, after saving up for an extra memory, I bought it and added to the system. This upgrade was a worthwhile (despite the laptop being stubborn to open. It was only a three-step disassembly, but man, the clips were a bit stubborn) since the extra memory boosted the system’s performance (quite a lot, in fact, due to the memory running in dual-channel mode). I can now work a lot more comfortable.

The other thing I did was to purchase a more specialized software to write the dialogue on. While I did use LibreOffice (and Word, before my Office 365 subscription ended), it is quite a hassle to sift through my notes that I keep. I bought a novel writing software, due to its workflow. I re-organized my notes and brought them over to the program so I can have them easily accessible when writing the dialogue.

That’s pretty much it (apart from the bug reporting server was upgraded to Windows Server 2016). Most of the things I did for Immortal Sins was writing the dialogue and making a few guild missions.

Wrote a tool that installs the game's dependencies. That means Northbridge will always use the latest version of the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime.

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.

Added the option to rebuild the cache. This will clear the cache and then decompress the files from the packages.

Overhauls on the way.

Done some improvements to the backup system. Even added an icon to let you know that it's working.

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.

Enjoy a nice dish, get a nice buff. What's not to like?

Time for a bit of shenanigans: RPG Maker MV running on top of Tauri! This more future proofed framework means better performace and smaller file sizes. It does require some re-work in the engine, but it could lead to true cross-platform games.

Something something... Stuff that I worked on.

Waz zis? An overhauled map? Yes. Coming soon.
