Alpha version for Windows available for download!

September 14, 2019

Yes, you've read that right!

If you're on Windows, you can head over to your dashboard at https://www.vgc.io/dashboard and download the first alpha version of VGC :-)

Everything is automated now: each time I make a little change to VGC, a new alpha version is generated and appears in your dashboard. This way, when I talk about new features in Patreon posts, you'll be able to try them out by yourself!

The feature set is very limited for now, you can just barely sketch, with no undo and connections between lines. But if you ever manage to create something nice, don't hesitate to post it on Discord! It's not very active at the moment, but it's up to you to make it more active ;) Note that your forum account is a separate account from your VGC account. This will be improved in the future.

Apart from implementing a system to give sponsors access to alpha versions, I've also completely overhauled the architecture of "editors" (currently, "Console" and "Performance Monitor"). I was using the default mechanism provided by the library Qt (QDockWidget), but this turned out to be full of bugs, not well maintained, hard to customize, and not having all the features I want. So I've re-implemented my own with the following advantages:

Next step: release alpha versions for macOS and Linux!

Cheers,

Boris
