Quick update to the Mantis server.


Recently, the (now old) hosting service went haywire, as I was trying to add a wiki page (which could be used as a manual for the game). Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to bring the server in working condition. So, I decided to move the server from Hostinger to Microsoft Azure, along with setting up an SMTP server. Moving it over to Azure has improved some things. Namely:

  • I can actually store info securely! The Database has encryption on it.

  • Backup server. At least the database.

  • More reliable mail server.

  • Internal Improvements.

  • Easier debugging and maintenance of the webpage.

  • Avatars (if you give a dime).

I am trying to recover the info from the old server. I have the backups, but I’m still trying to figure out how to import them from the SQL file (yes, the bug reporting software is saving the issues on the same database as the user accounts. They are stored on different tables). Until then, I’ll have to start from scratch.

So, while I clean up the dust, why not pay a visit and let me know what you think? http://northbridgemantis.azurewebsites.net

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

Added achievements. Because why not?

Jump List returns in the next update.

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.

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

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.

Added the option to rebuild the cache. This will clear the cache and then decompress the files from the packages.

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

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

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.
