Monthly Sync: February 2022


Hello everyone!

This will be a short one since February has been a hectic month for me. Most of the work went into the overhauled launcher. So, this post will be talking technical info about the new launcher.

THE NEW LAUNCHER

Northbridge’s main goal is to provide useful features, from backing up saves to diagnostics. With the R3 version, the codebase has been (mostly) overhauled. First up, the code was split into modules. This makes it easy to manage the code and each module can be expanded in a modular manner. Second, the UI code was re-worked using the MVVM pattern. I am binding commands and variables to the UI. This automates part of the logic (no need to explicitly tell the UI to check. It’s done automatically) and makes it easy to re-design the UI when needed. Finally, I am using Prism, which brings features that make my work easier. From drawing dialogs to initializing the modules. While I am at it, I have re-designed the launcher’s menu. This should be far nicer to look at and navigate.

That is all for now. There is work to be done before I release the next update. I hope that I’ll have ready this March or April. See you in the next post.

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

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

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.

I've decided that I'll be posting some stuff from the game to showcase the features implemented so far - first is the DIFFICULTY SELECTION, the very first thing that greets you in the game! HYSTERIYA and HARDCORE mode are locked behind beating Episode 1!

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.

HERE WE GO!!

Ciro & his Friends FULL ENGLISH DEMO!

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.

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

I've just added the beta of my german RPG Maker XP game "Cast Away - The Oddysee" here on GameJolt.

Added a simple audio system to the launcher.
