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.)

Overhauls on the way.

Added achievements. Because why not?

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

A small teaser for the next tech test.

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.

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

Taking the wraps off. For real this time.

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

Added a simple audio system to the launcher.

Jump List returns in the next update.
