Turns out what the game actually needed was for me to take a proper break from development and enough time to realize what I had broken.

(It was the values tied to IDing what foe it'd be.)

It'll likely need more testing, but we're back in buisiness!

I might be having too much fun with this process...

Ouch.

Still deciding if it's worth committing to a full rebuild, but I at least figured out a better way to handle the party swapping mechanic.

Suppose it's rude to come back doing polls without showing some sort of progress for it.

Can it be done?

(Also, Happy New Year)

This whole "making a new battle frame" situation does give me an excuse to add some things I had been putting off for far too long.

Got a (mostly stable) demo ready for the occasion!

While I chip away at the code for XL, I might as well show off the fruits of another thing I had tinkered with: modding custom music into Bionicle Heroes.

I know it's completely unintentional, but I swear this is the universe trying to convince me to dig my old handiwork out of retirement and do something with him.
