Windows 98 in my soup? Time for Vista makeover!


This will be a really quick post since not much was added to Immortal Sins (for now). Mainly a lightning-fast progress report.

Anyway, as I am getting closer to release that massive update for Immortal Sins, I found out that Windows had a more useful (and more DPI-aware) folder picker (among others). So, I went on the code and replaced the old tech with new ones. The difference is… well… impressive.

Old version:

New version:

There is still some work to be done, but since I have most of the launcher’s code re-written (about 82% done), the release of the update may be soon enough. I just need to finish up with the big obstacles in the development.

(If somebody asks, that’s due to Windows Vista re-writing some Win32 APIs related to file and folder pickers.)

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.

Something something... Stuff that I worked on.

Taking the wraps off. For real this time.

Game development progresses smoothly. A mini WIP.
