Status Report (Patreon)

Hi! It's been a while since the last status report, this is what I'm working on right now:

- EmuDeck 3.0

I've started coding emudeck from scratch in Python so it's a single code base supporting Linux, Windows and macOS at the same time. This will take some weeks if not months to get it completed but it should speed up both Windows development, installation and launch time and also allow me to finally do a proper macOS release. I'm putting special focus on migrating from 2.x so it's seamless for the end user. This will be released for you guys as soon as I have parity with 2.x and only on the unstable branch. Either way It will be possible to switch between 2.x and 3.0 at any time.

- CloudSync & bugs

I'll keep an eye on the Discord server for CloudSync issues and other related bugs, there are almost none at this moment except some user here and there having issues that only seem to affect them and not the majority of the people.

- RetroLibrary This will be launched hopefully before EmuDeck 3.0, if you haven't used it yet please give it a try, all the feedback I can get the better. I'm adding How long to beat and EmuAchievements soon so both data will be shown in the app for each game. I'm also looking for Android developers so I can port it to Android ( bringing CloudSync too! ) so EmuDeck can be a one step solution for Android too, no ETA on this one since I'm gonna need a lot of help to code it.

- EmuDeck Machine 2Wait, what? Wasn't this dead? Well, the previous idea I tried it is but hear me out:

Open source, free to build and print for the end user.

Options to order an empty 3d printed case or a whole system with pre mounted hardware.

Those options will be done by a third party so it doesn't interfere with EmuDeck.

SteamOS based

Small set top box for your TV

Focused in Indie 2D Games 720P / 1080P. No AAA gaming

Emulation up to Wii U

Retro inspired design

Interchangeable top of the case so it can match your favourite retro console, some exclusive to patrons.

I already have working prototypes so this should happen soon enough!

Please don't leak any of this info since I want it to be a surprise.

And that's it, I think it's a pretty nice roadmap :)
