Ace Of Aces

Hello there!

Apologies for the awkward silence but I had issues when working on the game. More specific, Windows 10 did not work on me after a period of time (the menu did not load at all) resulting in clean install to fix it up. Thankfully, most of the project files were backed up, however, the project files for the launcher were lost. I’m re-writing it right now, but I am writing it in C# instead of VB.NET. Why? Mostly for expanding it’s capabilities where the original version could not. It may also help in enabling the Auto Backup system to backup the save files even when you launch the game bypassing the launcher. Plus it’s easier for me to build it since I am a lot familiar with C#. It’s official name (for now) is Northbridge (named after the chipset responsible for communication between vital components of the computer and the processor). I have also upgraded my laptop so I can work more efficent (and debug it better). This does not affect the system requirements however.

In addition, I am discontinuing the Steam Workshop version of the game. Since the release of version D0.05 the Workshop version was (almost) identical with the standalone version, however as the game’s code got more complex, it made it harder to maintain and by extension harder to ensure that it will work flawlessly. In exchange, I can add a lot more features (such as support for the Gamejolt API, enchanced audio etc.) without that worry. I’m sorry, but I feel that it’s for the better.

Finally, I am slowing down the frequency of the news to once per 14 days after the last post, because I am a student at a university (I’m studying for Compuet Science if you are wondering) and it’s harder for me to keep up with it and develop the game. I feel like I am in a cross-fire. I understand you, but please keep in mind that I have my own life and I can’t devote 100% to my game because of this. I hope you understand.

To close this on a possitive note, Immortal Sins has hit 4k+ views! I’d like to thank you for your interest in the game and the Disc 1 update will arrive full force in Spring next year!

That is all for now. Catch you guys and gals on the next post.
