Mythkeeper

Mythkeeper is an asset manager for Wonderdraft first created by Elvanos. The software helps users to manage, install and update assets for users. It has since exploded and is being called an essential tool for Wonderdraft users.

History
The need for a way to manage and install assets in an easy way was first publicly discussed in the official Wonderdraft discord server in early January 2019. When user pumpkinhead9092 suggested "If I had time or energy I would program a asset repository similar to CKAN for kerbal space program. But I am out of practice with programming as I haven't worked in that field in over a year." this message prompted ideas and suggestions as to how the program might work, be called and what it features should be.

Just two days earlier on the 6th of January, an asset manager was suggested in the official discord channel of CartographyAssets by Elvanos.

"I was pondering about the possibility of writing a WD asset manager app that could integrate with CA webstite. Some kind of Curse-like solution for assets. Auto checking for updates, etc"

- Elvanos

"Haha thats funny, i made a flow-chart two days ago on how that would work."

- Nexoness

The idea was further worked out and a poll emerged in the Wonderdraft discord on the 12th of January asking users what categories would be needed for managing assets. At this time the three parties worked separately creating designs, UI's and prototypes for asset managers.

After extensive talks over multiple weeks, the decision was made to go with Elvanos' asset manager and working out how it could work with the CA platform. The other parties discontinued their efforts and all focus went to the creation of the asset manager by Elvanos, which got the name Mythkeeper. By this time both Elvanos and Nexoness agreed to work together on the project with Nexoness providing the software with the needed access to the CartographyAssets database with an API, after which Mmythkeeper had gotten the title of Official CartographyAssets.com Asset Manager and received its own subforum and category on the platform. On January 22th Elvanos released the first public version of Mythkeeper on the Wonderdraft Subreddit, version 0.5.0 beta. The post was later edited to replace the download link with a link to its official CA page.

0.6.1
On the 4th of February Elvanos released Mythkeeper 0.6.1 which connected the software with the CartographyAssets platform with direct downloading and installation of assets from the platform.
