Roadmap

v0.1.9 Beta Shipped

GalAid is already usable as a static web demo and a Windows desktop beta.

  • Static web app with local folder/file diagnosis
  • GitHub Pages demo at https://TonyNa-code.github.io/GalAid/
  • Windows desktop beta with native scanning and one-click launch handoff
  • Package and disc-image metadata preflight before extraction or mounting
  • Bundled archive extraction handoff with password prompt and automatic rescan
  • Disc-image mount/extract handoff with automatic rescan
  • Launch candidate scoring for .exe/.com/.bat/.cmd/.lnk, installers, and web VN entries
  • Commercial/self-developed engine startup-route diagnostics
  • Engine fingerprints with evidence and confidence details
  • Error recipe matcher for DirectX, DirectPlay, VC++, VB6, .NET, QuickTime/video, RPG Maker RTP, locale, missing files, archive damage, and web VN restrictions
  • Screenshot OCR for startup dialogs
  • Legacy executable header detection for DOS, Win16, LE/LX, Win32, and Win64 entries
  • Old Win32 compatibility guidance for Win95/NT4/Win2000/XP-era entries
  • PE import hints for legacy DirectX, DirectPlay, VC++, VB6, .NET, QuickTime/video, Flash/ActiveX, and Borland runtime routing
  • Local runtime/environment checks
  • Launch history, shortcut creation, launch profiles, and launch-failure follow-up
  • Support bundles with reports, roadmaps, recipe matches, package previews, privacy summaries, and redacted local paths
  • Chinese install/share guide, issue templates, PR template, repository topics, and published Windows release sidecars

Next Polishing Passes

  • Add more metadata-only engine rules for common commercial VN layouts
  • Expand startup error recipes from real redacted reports
  • Add more archive, split-volume, and disc-image smoke fixtures
  • Improve install-media wording for setup-only discs and old installer flows
  • Add clearer screenshots or short demo clips for the README and install guide
  • Keep release verification, Pages deploys, and repository health checks visible

1.0 Hardening

  • Signed Windows release builds
  • Better Windows runtime prerequisite explanations for non-technical users
  • More robust desktop recovery copy when extraction, mounting, OCR, or launch handoff fails
  • More contributor-friendly rule examples and fixture templates
  • A stable issue-to-rule workflow for community diagnosis reports

Later Ideas

  • Asset explorer for open-format images and audio
  • Creator-owned project export reports
  • Ren'Py project structure helper
  • Optional advanced templates for Wine, Proton, Locale Emulator, and old-runtime handoffs
  • A broader generic launch assistant mode outside visual novels
