Bi-Weekly Update #23


Time for another update! Apologies for the awkward silence, but I was busy getting the Disc 1 update and there was nothing of interest, along with the testing season coming (and I will be silent from 22ND of January to 2ND half of February.) So, what coming?

Northbridge R2:

With a major update coming soon, I thought to do some renovation both in game and in Northbridge. Northbridge’s UI is a major update. Here’s a small peek:

Of course, UI is half of the story. The new design also makes the tool-set more powerful and easier to use. Diagnostics also gets a save check, which checks if the game has access the save folder. Save Manager’s Backup and Restore system is more reliable and more precise. Plus, all settings are auto-saved. I’ll be adding more useful tools as the development goes on. Speaking of renovation:

Game Engine overhauls:

Most of the changes on the engine focus on speeding up the game so it can run well as much as possible, from removing unnecessary code to tweaking some components. A new addition (possibly a welcome one) is support for the Xbox 360 controller (complete with it’s triggers). Currently it’s partially compatible, but hopefully it will support it fully.

That is all for now. See you on the next post.

Jump List returns in the next update.

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 still pretty early work, but I am working on making the UI more dynamic and sleek. Including faces changing depending on their HP.

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.

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

Implementing Armor Corrosion. This put quite a dent in the target's armor for a short time.

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

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.

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

A small teaser for the next update.
