Waaayyy back before I started developing CDH1R, I actually had this silly little idea for a collection of all the remakes. The planned title would have been:
"Cube's Dark Hours Reopened Collection"
As the name suggests, it would’ve been a bundle of remakes for CDH1, CDH2, and CDH: The Pricklz. I even imagined a Classic Mode button that would take you to the original versions, but slightly tweaked to better match the overall gameplay curve the series is heading towards (basically what CDH1 v2.0 came to be).
You may be wondering what happened to that idea.
Well, to be honest, I abandoned it...
Like, a single hour after I thought about it.
Here's why:
I don't want to delete or delist the original version's game pages
Waiting to release everything at once would take forever (it usually takes 3–4 months per game release).
Bug-fixing would’ve been an absolute nightmare (we’re talking six games total; three remakes + three “Classic” versions).
The closest thing I remember is the layout I imagined for said collection.
Here's a quick sketch of what it probably would have been
But you might be wondering, if this idea was scrapped, why am I thinking about it again?
And to that I say... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, I have no clue why this popped back into my mind. I guess it would be cool(?), but it probably won't happen anytime soon. Maybe, in a future far far away from here, when the two remaining games (CDH2 Reshined (reboot) and CDH: The Pricklz remake) + the original version v2.0s are released and considered "finished", I could probably go back to this idea... but, you know, take this with a grain of salt.
Anywhoo, that's all I could remember for now. There's probably more, but it hasn't popped back into my mind yet.
Take care, stay safe, God bless!
