Well... As I was working on some internal improvements, I noticed that the launcher was looking for the old igsf2 files, instead of the new .isdp files. Since D0.31 can't read them (due to changes in how the game saves data), the save manager ended up being useless for a lot of people. So, I uploaded a new update for Windows users that fixes this issue. Also, Northbridge implements a new compression algorithm for the save file archives. I may end up implementing this to the game entirely. For now, the save archives are a little smaller (although it does take a tad longer to complete the task).
Next up
Jump List returns in the next update.
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.
Added the option to rebuild the cache. This will clear the cache and then decompress the files from the packages.
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.
Waz zis? An overhauled map? Yes. Coming soon.
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.
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.
Done some improvements to the backup system. Even added an icon to let you know that it's working.
Wrote a tool that installs the game's dependencies. That means Northbridge will always use the latest version of the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime.
