Version D0.42 released!


​It's been a while since the last update. There was quite a lot stuff to take care of (both for the game and in real life). Much like the previous update, it brings small but substantial updates to the game. This time around, it's engine upgrades and a refresh of the battle UI. Engine wise, I slip-streamed some technical updates (which, sadly, also broke the saves), but should improve the stability of the game. In addition, the launcher got an overhaul. The launcher is now compiled with NativeAOT, which means far faster launch times and better memory usage. The last thing is the introduction of a new feedback system: Pressing Ctrl-Shift-F will bring up a new feedback widget. This should make it easier to send in feedback.

As for the stuff I was working on: I can't say much at the moment (yet). But I can say this: It has morphed into a different thing that I wasn't planning. Once it's ready, I'll let you know.

Changelog:

Game:

  • Technical upgrades in the engine, for better stability.

  • The crash screen has been updated.

    • A button to copy the error trace to the clipboard has been added.

    • A button to restart the game has been added.

    • Visual updates.

  • The Bug Report option in the title was replaced by the new Feedback widget (opens with Ctrl-Shift-F).

  • Updated the battle UI.

Starboard Platform (formerly Northbridge)

  • Ported over to Avalonia UI and compiled with NativeAOT.

    • Brings massive performance and memory usage improvements.

    • The game is also smaller (40MB by Starboard, compared to 100+MB that Northbridge consumed).

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.

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

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.

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!

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

Fullversion is out.

Now you can be in debt and die in a fantasy dungeon for countless times at the cost of more debt!

Added achievements. Because why not?

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.

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