Bi-Weekly Update #50


The latest installment has arrived!

Preparation of Northbridge:

As I am preparing the MV version for a tech demo release, Northbridge could use some additions. First off, the launcher will now run as a 64-bit program (if you have a compatible computer). The reason is that the launcher not only picks the best version of the renderer, but it has some additional features as well. Making it compatible with 64-bit systems will improve the launcher’s performance. There is slightly higher use of memory, but the performance makes up for it. I’ve also removed some unnecessary code on that launcher as well. It’s quite easy to see when the launcher is running as an 64-bit program via the Task Manager (see below).

Under the hood stuff:

I’ll cover this section in a lightning round:

  • Prepared the folder structure of the game engine, so it can house 32 and 64 bit versions of the renderer.

  • Implemented Action Icons.

  • Under the hood tweaks to improve the game engine’s performance.

  • Tweaking the lighting.

  • Transferred the code of the launcher to C# 7.0.
    That is all for now. See you on the next post.

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.

Added a simple audio system to the launcher.

While I'm preparing August's Monthly Sync, I'm preparing a Trello board for the game. You can see what I'm working on here. https://trello.com/b/CjFyzH50/immortal-sins-game-development Pardon my dust, while I'm getting this up and running.

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

Jump List returns in the next update.

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.

Something something... Stuff that I worked on.

Added achievements. Because why not?

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.
