If my plan for Sega CD-styled cinematics doesn't work out, Plan B would be the GBA-style cinematics.

If anything, they make decent filler.

Here. For reference.

For this one picture, they're either getting PS4'd, or they get faces.

Now, if I have enough motivation for Mode 7 stages, though...

Part of the expansion involves a cute little fight right here. ...in space for no apparent reason.

...too bad it won't be as epic as the final boss, but still...

I was considering releasing the expansion today, but then I found a lot of bugs I should've spotted in the original build, and I made the minimap do extra stuff for said expansion.

Don't worry, it'll be out by tomorrow night.

Just a reminder. It's coming on the 16th, assuming nothing goes wrong.

I need to know where to draw the line on this level.

It's supposed to be a prosthetics factory of The Future. It could use a lot more Factory, though.

I realize some players just want to play the game and see the story, while others may actually want to use those revival items, so here's a little compromise for you all.

Also, yes, I NEED to put on that "Pro" flag everywhere.

He's coming back. ...but just this once.

This background full of conveyor belts might make it a bit more factory-like, but it's still ominous.
