What's new in Aurora Game Manager Alpha 10
Sep 9, 2014
- User Experience Enhancements:
- New Game Timer: Aurora now uses Joda Time API to more accurately calculate how much time you played a game
- UI Rework for Game Launcher and Game Cover Editor: Basically, I improved a little the UI of the game launcher to be a bit simpler in terms of the flow of launching and going back to Aurora.
- Custom Game Art Now Have Jewel Covers: _This was requested a few times. Now every time you add your custom image to the game cover a blank jewel cover will be placed on top of the image and resized so it looks like all of the beautiful game covers we have available in the Aurora Cover DB.
- Right Clicking Games to Flip Them: basically, you can use the other button on your mouse to do something productive, like quickly flip the game.
- Performance Improvements: This is something I try to do every release as I go through code. I hope it's more noticeable in this release, I tried making the loading a little faster, animations feel snappier and I spent quite a while refactoring and cleaning up a lot of code.
- Bug and UX fixes: Lastly I did a bunch of little improvements to the overall experience of Aurora, like the manual game adding, the grid search, and a lot of other little details you may or may not notice.
