Version D0.40 Update 1 released!


Well... It's been a while. Life in the last few months was a bit hectic. I had to put the game on a short hiatus until I got it under control. I did manage to put a substantial number of quality-of-life improvements to both the game and Northbridge. I've also managed to bring over the backup icon from the scrapped R2.07 version of Northbridge. So, you'll know that the backup system is working. Another notable change is a slight re-work of Crystal Caves. That being having smaller squads of enemies added in.

Changelog:

Game

  • Added code to remove actor commands if there are no usable skills.

  • Skills now show their cooldown time (if there is).

  • Added new, smaller squads to Crystal Caves.

  • Added a notification when Drive Arts are available.

  • Rick's Provoke skill adds a buff to Defense.

  • Re-factored enemy code.

  • Implemented additional measures to fix the wrong timing of memory cleanup.

  • Removed the mouse targeting from the battle system.

Northbridge

  • Added an icon that appears in the tray to signify that the backup system is active.

  • Improved the presentation of the Game Master.

  • Tweaked the file checking algorithm to reduce memory usage.

  • Save Manager and Backup system should now handle the Global Data file.

  • Brought back Jump List support.

  • Fixed a bug where information dialogs were rendered behind the Game Master's window.

  • Fixed a bug where the errors do not appear.

  • Removed some hard-coded elements.

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

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.

A small teaser for the next tech test.

While I was busy with my personal life, I've been trying to figure out the aesthetic of this game and since the hourly soundtrack is made in Microsoft Music Producer (an old Windows 98 program) I've decided to make the UI retro stuff inspired :) - Martin

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

Welcome back to Esmarna XP!!!! There are new things about this game I would like to talk about! I'm officially BACK to making this game! (more info in the article)

Jump List returns in the next update.

Added achievements. Because why not?

Silly cutscene from my game "Beyond love" (Demo). You can try it here:

Still just one chapter for now. I expect to finish it this year.

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.
