Rich Presence U 0.7

Version 0.7.0 is here! with a completely revamped interface, new features and improvements.

Highlights

A new user interface

Completely revamped UI, designed to better match Discord’s app style. The main reason I made this new interface was to improve user experience while keeping it visually clean and simple to use. 🍇

Screenshot

Now the main layout is separated into 3 tabs: platform, details and title with step-by-step style, but it you can still jump directly to any tab you want by simply clicking on their icon.

There’s a new status bar on the upper left corner, it displays your connection status, applied settings, and warns you when any critical error occurs.

Multi-regional games

Rich Presence U now supports European and Japanese titles, that also includes exclusive icons for each region.

Since this is a newly added feature, by the time I’m posting this the title database for those regions are still fairly small.

Recently played games

A history for recently played games is stored whenever you change titles, individual settings for each title and region are stored as well.

Title renaming and extended glyphs

Now you can rename any existing titles on the database directly from the application, this along with a wider range of glyphs for your personalized titles.

For those curious about the game your are playing 👀, it displays a quick search button on your status, it uses the search query from official Nintendo websitesm but it will also depends on the region of your current title, if it’s a Japanese game, it will use the search query for nintendo.co.jp instead of nintendo.com.

Elapsed time

Elapsed can now be preserved even when changing games, that’s a optional feature that can be found in the Settings menu.

Dynamic updates

The database can be updated at any given time while the application is still running, you no longer have to restart the application to do this.

Overrirders

Ever wanted to use your own title database but you don’t know/want to modify and re-compile the code?

Now you can do that by simply replacing the URL in database.ini by the file path (or URL) of your custom database.cfg. As long as it has the same parameters as of the default database file.

Even though I’ve done a lot of tests and debugging to make sure that the new code is as stable as the previous version, one single person is not enough to ensure its full stability, specially when it comes to a full code rewrite. So still expect bugs, your feedback is very important. 💌

UniMaker DX source code is now public!

The source code for UniMaker DX (the version with the pixel art UI) is now available on my GitHub : https://github.com/ninstar/UniMaker Since I started the transition to UniStudio some people have asked me if I would make the source code for UniMaker DX public, as it is considerably different from UniStudio and previous versions. I said that I would eventually do, so here we are. 🎵 I haven’t done this sooner because I didn’t have enough free time to go through my entire commit history (which is pretty huge if you ask me). 💦 As this is just the source code, keep in mind that it is not meant for most users. In addition to that, the link above does not include the source code for UniStudio, it is still being worked on its own repository. UniMaker 1.S is still the latest stable version. It is preferable that you use that version to create and share your courses.

Enabling effect layers To enable effect layers, just click on the cat icon . This will only work if there is at least one effect layer file in the same folder as the course.

Introducing gdProject

It's been a while since my last post, hasn't it? I just want to say that although I was (and still am) quite busy working on multiple things, I didn't put this blog aside. I've been tweaking a lot of things here and there and making sure all pages were up to date during this period. This blog still remains an essential part of my online presence. With that out of the way, let's dive into today's topic. About gdProject If you are a long time follower of mine on social medias you are probably aware that in early 2022 my friendship with GameMaker ended and Godot became my best friend for reasons that were partially reverted way too late . After getting familiar with the engine itself and feeling comfortable using its scripting language, I decided to make something similar to yyProjects , but for Godot! A handful of add-ons in this repository were originally designed to help me develop UniStudio (If you've been living under a rock, I ported the game f
