Today, Microsoft released .NET Core 3 Preview 7. Aside from possible breaking changes to the WPF component in later versions, the .NET Core team gave the "go-live" status to this version. This means that I can use this version in production environment. As I said in a previous announcement, I'll be moving Nortbridge to use .NET Core from this point on. It will take some time to transition (Ah, the fun of upgrading stuff. How fun to fix anything that's broken. /s) but in the long run (especially with the options to reduce the space that adding a copy of .NET Core and Ahead-Of-Time compilation to improve the performance of the platform and reduce memory usage) Northbridge will be better.
I'll post a progress report very soon, so keep an eye out on your feed.

Wrote a tool that installs the game's dependencies. That means Northbridge will always use the latest version of the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime.
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.
A bit of an old but goodie coming back: Quick Load! In an upcoming update, you can jump back to where you left off with a push of a button.
Added a simple audio system to the launcher.
Who did this?
Something something... Stuff that I worked on.
A small teaser for the next update.
Done some improvements to the backup system. Even added an icon to let you know that it's working.
It's a bit early, but I have something cooking. Keep an eye out.
Enjoy a nice dish, get a nice buff. What's not to like?
