This update is bringing forth a few updates to Database Designer!
Linux And ARM Builds
To begin, DATABASE DESIGNER NOW WORKS ON LINUX!
We also aim on making a version for the Raspberry Pi, Rockchip Boards and other ARM devices soon, shipped outside of Steam!
Masuki, Mira and DLC Updates
Next, we expect to be shipping some DLCs soon for Database Designer! Specifically, we've been preparing the release of the Supporter's Pack; something I held off on until we could ensure Database Designer worked!
In short, a $10 donation will get you a visual novel with the team! This has been a WIP for a very long time and I highly suggest you get it if you want to know the people behind Database Designer!
However, as time goes by, we plan on giving more things like a digital artbook showcasing how/why we made Database Designer and concepts around it, certain themes for Database Designer and access to newer features before they're officially out!
We're focused on balancing both quality and treating those who support us well, so we plan on ensuring that Database Designer never becomes freemium with features locked behind a paywall!
In general, when you next open Database Designer, you can click "DLC Options" to view the DLC options and Masuki/Mira, who's going to get much more screentime soon!
( This will have way more things in the list in due time)
More Updates Planned!
In the next update, we plan on making a one click solution for hosting and editing the data on the database! We already are working on an open source flow engine for no-code API creation too!
This will probably be the main way we make money, but we are making it so you will never be forced to work with us and can still handle databases as you want!
A theme system is coming as well and I plan on putting a vote out there for a few features I want to add!
Finally, I want to add a note system to the next update alongside the nier style datascape viewer! If there are features you want to see in Database Designer, please let me know!
Changelog:
DB Designer updates Include
Now supports Linux, ARM/Server systems are next
Removed bug where description would have lowercase and underscores everywhere
Returned SecureMedia instead of Secure String
Media now represented by SecureMedia
Represented with
IsPublic (Boolean): Flags if the item is a public resource. We will verify this server-side regardless of the flag to prevent unauthorized access.
SecretKey (Encryption): The unique symmetric key used to encrypt the file at rest. This should be encrypted by a Master Key before storage to ensure a database leak doesn't expose the media. NEVER EVER STORE AS PLAINTEXT OR UNENCRYPTED.
PublicKey: A public identifier or cryptographic key used for client-side handshakes or verifying the authenticity of the media source.
Path: The physical or cloud storage URI (e.g., S3 bucket path or local file system string) where the encrypted binary is located.
CreatedAt: A timestamp used for auditing, session expiration, and determining the "age" of the security credentials for rotation.
Added support for DLC material, now visible as "DLC Options" on the computer
Added Mira Art
Updated Github
