Hello everyone, and happy holidays!
As we wrap up 2024, we’re bringing you a festive update on the mod’s progress! Here’s what we’ve been working on and a sneak peek at what’s coming your way.
Current Progress
Before we dive in, though, we’d like to give our apologies for skipping November’s progress report. (Blame Tails, by the way, he lost the file.)
Now, onto the updates!
Continue V2:
The revamped version of Continue is nearly complete! We’ve added new sprites, improved bgs, and added some surprises that we think you’ll love.
Unfinished Third Song:
Still at zero progress on the song itself. The storyboard got some tweaks, though, so… progress?
mus_drowning:
Progress continues on the assets for this song! Sprites and map assets are steadily coming together. While there’s still work to do, we'll have this song done in NO time.
Menu Design:
It has a basic design now! More polish is planned, of course..
Game Over Screen:
A brand-new Game Over sequence is in the works. We won’t spoil too much, but it’s going to be referencing a pretty old exe series. 👀
A Disaster Approaches:
👀👀👀👀👀
EXECUTION:
SNAFU has been successfully executed, and his body will be ██████████ and put forward to ███████████████. (Stay tuned, this is going to be big.)
Features
Here’s a list of features and changes you can expect to see in the next few updates:
Secret "I love Baja Blast with my taco" screen.
New HUD for Continue
Fixed S3 BF being in Continue: He’s been replaced with S1 BF.
Rerender of Continue Stage
Concept Encyclopedia Screen: A character info screen featuring lore, and opinions from EXE, Tails, and Knuckles.
Camera Moves with Characters Now (When a character hits a note.)
Secret Legacy 666 Mode
Remade BF Sprites
A Speaker! So the instrumentals doesn’t come out of nowhere.
More coming soon...
EXE’s Christmas Corner..?
What’s Christmas without gifts, right? We asked Sonic.EXE about his favorite holiday traditions and what presents he gave his “minions” this year. Here’s what he had to say:
"CHRISTMAS IS FINE, I GUESS. GETS COLD, BUT WHO CARES? WATCHING MY MINIONS OPEN THEIR PRESENTS IS PURE ENTERTAINMENT. THIS YEAR, HERE’S WHAT I GAVE THEM:
SONIC: "A PAIR OF RUNNING SHOES. HE STAYED QUIET. HAHAHA."
TAILS: "A BLUE POWER RING. HE LOVED IT! (BUT THE OTHER GIFT I GAVE HIM? OH, HE’S NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT ONE. WONDER WHY.)"
KNUCKLES: "BOXING GLOVES. HE WAS CONFUSED BUT AMUSED. I THINK."
EGGMAN: "BLUEPRINTS FOR A BADNIK THAT’LL NEVER WORK. (HE THINKS IT WILL. LMAO.)"
AMY: "I GOT HER A ROSE. SHE LIKED IT, BUT I DON'T THINK SHE GOT THE JOKE."
CREAM AND CHEESE: "MATCHING SWEATERS. THEY LOVED THEM."
SALLY: "I GAVE HER A COMPASS. SHE LOOKED AT ME LIKE SHE WAS ABOUT TO STRANGLE ME. HAHA."
VANILLA: "A COOKBOOK. SHE BAKED SOMETHING AND SENT IT BACK TO ME AND EGGMAN. REALLY GOOD COOKIES."
