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.
Next up
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.
Waz zis? An overhauled map? Yes. Coming soon.
Done some improvements to the backup system. Even added an icon to let you know that it's working.
A small teaser for the next update.
Wrote a tool that installs the game's dependencies. That means Northbridge will always use the latest version of the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime.
Jump List returns in the next update.
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.
Added the option to rebuild the cache. This will clear the cache and then decompress the files from the packages.
Enjoy a nice dish, get a nice buff. What's not to like?
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.
