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.)

Added achievements. Because why not?

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

Something something... Stuff that I worked on.

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

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.

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.

Jump List returns in the next update.

Enjoy a nice dish, get a nice buff. What's not to like?

It's a bit early, but I have something cooking. Keep an eye out.
