Although the development did go a bit slow (mostly since I’m waiting for artwork and the occasional writer’s block :-( ) but there is some progress to report.

Error handling in Northbridge:

Although it worked, how an error is handled in Northbridge Engine could use some improvement. I’ve added a new function to check the drive (if it’s ready, if it can an access the folder and if there’s enough space). This not only improves the error handling (making easier to understand what went wrong) it allows making more understandable error messages. Plus it prevents Northbridge to crash in some situations. I’m still working on improving it though.

Audiovisual changes:

Almost all off the new artwork is now loaded to the game. Aside from that, I’ve tweaked the music change when moving between maps, so it’s a little nicer. I’m also playing a bit with new animations with the Arts.

That is all for now. I’m pretty much waiting for new artwork before I release the Disc 1 Update. I’ll keep polishing the first part (while working on the second one) until it’s ready.
