Today, Microsoft released .NET Core 3 Preview 7. Aside from possible breaking changes to the WPF component in later versions, the .NET Core team gave the "go-live" status to this version. This means that I can use this version in production environment. As I said in a previous announcement, I'll be moving Nortbridge to use .NET Core from this point on. It will take some time to transition (Ah, the fun of upgrading stuff. How fun to fix anything that's broken. /s) but in the long run (especially with the options to reduce the space that adding a copy of .NET Core and Ahead-Of-Time compilation to improve the performance of the platform and reduce memory usage) Northbridge will be better.
I'll post a progress report very soon, so keep an eye out on your feed.
Next up
Added the option to rebuild the cache. This will clear the cache and then decompress the files from the packages.
A small teaser for the next update.
Who did this?
Wrote a tool that installs the game's dependencies. That means Northbridge will always use the latest version of the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime.
Done some improvements to the backup system. Even added an icon to let you know that it's working.
Jump List returns in the next update.
Something something... Stuff that I worked on.
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.
Added a simple audio system to the launcher.
Overhauls on the way.
