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.

Next up

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

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

Done some improvements to the backup system. Even added an icon to let you know that it's working.

Who did this?

Happy reformation day, early access has been released.

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.

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.

I FINALLY finished all the pictures that'll be used in the game. I just need to make the scenes and music, and it'll be done.

-----------------

AL FIN terminé todas las imágenes que se usarán en el juego. Sólo me queda hacer las escenas y música, y listo.

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.
