New features with v38 and the near future (Patreon)

I'm excited to let you all know about the new exciting features on the horizon for Vorecade! These features mainly focus on player experience and data efficiency, more on those features below...

Data Pre-Downloading with v38 for Twine Games

Some Twine games include embedded online content in the game (e.g Images) and requires an active Internet connection to experience the full game experience, with this new feature in v38, Vorecade will scan for remote content in the game and pre-download the content for your offline gameplay in the background whilst you play the game without interrupting you.

A notification letting you know that your game is now fully ready for Offline gameplay! :3

This feature is still a WIP and may change before the release of v38.

Delta patching in Vorecade

Delta patching is the act of only using the difference between 2 files and using that data to update the old file to the new file, or in more simpler terms, Delta patching will allow you to update games whilst using the fraction of the bandwidth of a full-on game download. Cutting down on the time and resources needed to get you the newest game for you to play!

This is also how other popular game platforms handle their game updates. So you don't end up downloading the game every time you update.

This feature won't necessarily be rolled out with v38 as some updates to the game management system is required (again -_-) but it'll see the light of day sometime I guess. I'll post updates on it as the implementation is closer to being done.

Thanks for your support in Vorecade!
