    Time for another update! There isn’t anything ground breaking but there are a few notable things coming in. New versioning: Side Missions: Save Transfering: That is all for now. See you on the next post.
  4. Found this when browsing (with it's version being 116.188.126.1515-1219 . There are no links provided. http://i.imgur.com/akqTLGH.png The text translates: Installing flour... Online baking.

  5. Well, made the UI for authentication: http://i.imgur.com/CHsCAjA.gif . Now to get the code working.

      The UI on the picture is where the user signs in with their Microsoft Account and authoorize the program to connect and sync the save files. It uses the OneDrive API to accomplish this (although I am trying to get the OAth stuff working).

  6. @Rubinblau, The maps are very nice. On the biger map, make sure that you have frequent save points, as this can be maddening if you don't allow saving anywhere and they are way too few points. It took me a while to figure it out, but I managed to do a sleeping sprite and do a bit of visual trickery:

    Cloud Sync System: The plan

    Okay, I have uploaded the necessary parts so anybody who knows C# can help me in here: How it will work: There will be three steps for this: 1. Select the cloud storage service and log in. They'll be asked for permissions in there. 2. If there is an issue, where the saves have different dates, allow the user to select which to keep. 3. When the game closes, check if the local save folder has it's contents changed. If yes, upload them to a separate folder (Say, <GameName>/Saves) and replace the old files. First up, OneDrive is in the works. Later on, I'll add more services, since most of the work will be already there. What's needed: An issue that I'm working on, is the authentication system. I can't get it to work right for some reason. Working on it, but if you have any idea on fixing it, feel free to brainstorm. What do you need: -A Microsoft Account. You'll need it to acquire an access token and register your version of the program (to test it). -Visual Studio 2015 with the Windows SDK 10 (Version 1511). You can download (or fork) the code here: https://github.com/acemod13/Northbridge-SaveManager
  8. Drafted the cloud sync system for the Northbridge Save Manager. Once I upload a new update with the foundation set (on the Github), I'll post on the blog some info on it.

  9. I had this idea while I was developing Immortal Sins: I have a backup system in place, but I prefer something similar to Steam cloud. So I started working on a cloud sync system utilising OneDrive as storage. Of course it's opt in. I'm still working on it, but I'd like to hear from you: 1. Would you like to have the option to sync the save files between computers? 2. If yes, should it be user provided or a dedicated one? 3. Which service(s) would you like to use with it?

    No child left behind act in school

    Adding up to what KilloZapit said, there could be two big flaws: 1. The school is getting more unfriendly to students. I heard that they might forcibly teach gender studies. Plus it's already unfriendly for the boys in there: 2. Unions might be trying to sabotage every reform that would be beneficial to the students because it doesn't bring anything for their members: From what I read and watch, that gives me the impression that the system is broken and needs a re-build from the ground up.

    Immortal Sins

    Hello there! Time for an update! Northbridge Changes and open sourcing: While the following new features are not groundbreaking, are at least welcome. These are Multi-file import, selective export and auto-skipping the launcher. Selective export and multi-file import allows to export and import some files, instead of exporting all the save files and importing one file respectively. Skipping the launcher automatically is useful if you just want to play the game by double-clicking the shortcut. Of course, since the launcher doubles as the control panel for the game (for some things), I’ve also added a small routine to reset that setting. In addition, I will open source the entire launcher and make it available to developers. With the launcher, I wanted to address some things that pissed me off when I was playing games, which they offered nothing to manage the save files good enough (such as backing up the save files). I have open-sourced the Save Manager (can be downloaded on itch.io and Gumroad, free or pay what you want), since I think that it would be really useful for both developers and players alike. Open sourcing the launcher will provide the developers the foundation to build that with useful user-friendly features. Hopefully it will be appreciated. Disc 1 update release is imminent (almost): I have almost completed the story part of the Disc 1 update, and after that (along with a few changes), it will be released to the public this spring (if everything goes well). Not all features I talked about will make it fully realized, but I’m getting there. This was quite hard, since I had the college stuff, I had to slow down the development due to exams, etc. I (for the most part) have to develop the entire game by myself, and developing the game is hard. It can be a pain, but I don’t mind it. I have a limited budget for it, but I work with what I can get. I hope you guys and gals enjoy the game, from the demo, up until the final version of the game. Oh, and I will include a save file patcher to convert your save files and transfer it to the Disc 1 update. I’ll provide more info about it when the time comes. That is all for now. See you in the next post
  13. Well, I'll be open sourcing my launcher soon.

    RPG Maker VX Ace Lightweight RTP

    Huh, I did not noticed this. Opened the same animation on GIMP and I noticed something similar. It's not intended to completely replace the default RTP, only if the game does use unedited parts of it.
  15. The situation boils my blood. We can purchase a server (whenever you want a Windows Server or a Linux one) but your head (metaphorically) gets cut off because somebody was offended by a fair use review. The Dishonored Wolf had almost his Steam account deleted because the developer did not take the negative reviews well. I'd like to add up from your article with this video, done by Tarmack:
  16. Released an update on Northbridge Save Manager SDK. Changelog: http://www.rpgmakervxace.net/blog/511-firehawk-labs/

  17. Download from Gumroad or Itch.io Change log: -UI refinements (color code on messages, disable most of the options if there are no save files on the folder). -Import component can now import multiple files to the save file. -Selective Export (Allow the user to select which save files to export to a folder of their choice. -Fixed a small bug where the program will crash if a folder was not created. -Added comments on crucial areas.
  18. Well, this takes the cheese to a whole new level:

      Not quite as cool as the Afterburner 2 music though...

    Help with LoneWolf's Gamepad Extender

    Hello? Some help here.
  20. I don't know about you, but losing my game saves every time I re-install Windows is annoying and angering. This was the reason behind the launcher bundled with Immortal Sins: provide a simple way to backup their save files, should the game is installed with an installer. Today, I am releasing a standalone version of the Save Manager to the RPG Maker developers along with it's source code. What it does? It allows the players to backup their save files in a simple and seamless way. Hopefully this will be useful both for you and your fans. You can download it here: https://gumroad.com/l/NorthbridgeSMSDK
