It’s been a while since the last update. Summer ended up just a hectic as spring. Regardless, I worked on a new update. This is primarily a lot of fit and finish work, fixing some issues and improving some aspects. I’ve also done some optimizations to northbridge so it works faster and remove the WebView2 component (since it’s no longer necessary). The links on the “Information” menu will simply open the sites on your browser. Thus, all of the mirrors will have one package that is smaller. Also, this update brings the overhauled Crystal Caves as well.  

Here’s the changelog: 

Game 

• FPS Sync turned on by default. 
• Overhauled Crystal Caves. 
  • Consolidated and re-designed the map. 
  • Re-worked the battles to accommodate this.

Northbridge 

• It will now show if the launcher is checking the game's files at startup. Reduces the time from the splash screen to the launcher UI.

• Removed the WebView component as it is no longer necessary. 
  • Links in the "Information" menu will simply open the links to the browser.
