Hi Scott, thanks for asking because so far I can't find a way for the engine to read encrypted assets (like a pff) so the game has to be shipped in it's entirety with unprotected content.

UPDATE: Web Installer Stub

The aim of this solution will be a standalone exe that will download and run the beta, demo and release installers remotely without having to change the 4MB Stub executable itself.

Important

Update:
Multiplayer LAN Test - Finally Successful

Test made with 3 PC's in LAN

Device 1 : Cable PC core i5 Win10 High Powered with SSD
Device 2 : WiFi Laptop core i5 Win10 Medium to Low Powered with SSD
Device 3 : Cable Laptop core i3 Win7 Very Low Powered no SSD


Network discovery must be turned on first, then once in the game the user can host in a few clicks or play by entering the host IP address.

The configuration used is probably a very common one, as set out below.

Router IP Address: 192.168.0.1
LAN IP Address: 192.168.0.2 (First PC in LAN - Usually the host PC)
LAN IP Address: 192.168.0.3 (Next PC in LAN)
LAN IP Address: 192.168.0.4 (Next PC in LAN)
etc...

Update: Launcher

There are many ways the user experience is influenced in a game and I've noticed that presentation in Menus is very important and comes in various forms.

After some carefull consideration I've decided to follow what some AAA titles have done by ditching the Fullscreen GUI in favour of a Launch Window.

Of course the game runs in Fullscreen but the launcher allows for the opening of the editors without having a full blown GUI in the way.

Thanks, I'm glad you like the design.

Here's an update on the Front End of the Game Package

Either the launcher or GUI (Full Screen Menu) will load according to the last mode used - Create or Play.

Update: GUI 1

Nice work on the GUI, looks more refined than the previous ones.

Thank's again Scott.

As I've said before I think the GUI is a very important aspect that shouldn't be taken lightly.

So now that I have the design I want the outstanding problem is initial size.



Q. I hope I can ask for a bit of advise or opinion about the following subject without contravening ethics or legalities.

At the moment the GUI is built at a per pixel resolution of 1600x900, so it scales up on a Full HD screen.

A predictable issue for the future is average screen sizes may increase to the point where image quality degrades.


So do I build it 1920x1080 or higher and down scale for now?


The current situation regarding average or legacy hardware complicates things in that retro fitting to smaller screens could be compromised.

Some of the issues could be incorrect scaling, loss of window focus, off screen elements like not being able to reach the exit button, object crowding etc.
