This was something I had on my idea box for a while, but I managed to implement a custom package system based on Google's Brotli compression. Basically, the game will decompress the game's files once on a safe location and the game would load the decompressed files. Compared to the current builds, the game doesn't have to decompress the files every time it starts up. All I need to make sure is to patch the files when the game is updated.
Maybe, at some point, I could add online updates. But that's a bit of a "pie in the sky" idea.

Next up
A small teaser for the next update.
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.
Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!
Jump List returns in the next update.
BIG NEWS: Your Bandit can wear a Game Jolt hat and shirt in Bandit Trap!
Defend your home or steal treasure in the open beta: https://bit.ly/BanditTrapBeta
It ends on March 23rd at 6 am CET!
Implementing Armor Corrosion. This put quite a dent in the target's armor for a short time.
Wrote a tool that installs the game's dependencies. That means Northbridge will always use the latest version of the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime.
DID YOU KNOW: Moonlight Peaks is a heartwarming supernatural life-sim where you can raise mystical crops, learn spell-casting & potion-making, and befriend (or even romance) the local werewolves, witches, & mermaids!
Try the demo!: http://bit.ly/MoonlightPeaks
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.
