Bi-Weekly Update #43


Well, things shape up for the next update to the game being the one that will make the entire first part of the game. Here’s the progress report:

Journal:
Some of you may remember that I was talking about some test side missions. Well, the script that was supposed to handle them didn’t work as I wanted and as such I had to find an alternative. With a new script, I reworked it and it’s converted into a journal system. As part of the diary, all missions (including the story related) are tracked on it’s own menu. Objectives and active missions are shown on the menu and it’s pretty easy to sort them out. I do need to re-program theses two side missions so they are registered to that new script.
Audiovisual and under the hood tweaks:

There are three of them:

  1. Alongside translating the readme file to Greek, Northbridge will now auto pick either the English or the Greek readme on launch (depends on your computer’s language).

  2. I reworked the Game Over screen.

    Here’s the tweaked version:

  3. I also reworked the shadows. These are much better:

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

Next up

Game development progresses smoothly. A mini WIP.

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

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

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

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

A small teaser for the next tech test.

Jump List returns in the next update.

Something something... Stuff that I worked on.

Who did this?

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.
