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.

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

Can it be done?

(Also, Happy New Year)

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.

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!

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

Still have to address a few tweaks to layering and test some other sidequests, but I think that we're back on track again.

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.

Ouch.

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