Working on Climate Crisis 2.0
The work on the rom hack Secret of Mana Climate Crisis version 2.0 is on good tracks. The main focus will be:
- More map modifications
- A few new maps
- Boss swaps
- Small story changes (but still following the vanilla plot).
- Improvement of some palettes and tilesets
- And more surprises…
Here is a small preview:
Looks like I have to play even more Secret of Mana 🙂
This looks great.
Please , when this is ready, consider to add this to PLUS so it becomes the definitive version in a 3.0 version
Plus and Climate Crisis will most likely stay separate. Plus being an extended vanilla Secret of Mana, and Climate Crisis being an alternate version of it.
I will use one or two (modified) elements of Plus in CC, but I think it is more interesting if I keep some parts exclusive to Plus but create a few new stuff for CC.
What Mike (and me too) want (I think) is to have a very complete new experience.
I mean, I have finished SoM five or six times so I like something different. I look through internet and I find two great hacks; one which adds content (but again playing 95% of the same game) and another that make a fresh change to the vanilla game. Why these two together to look like almost a complete new game??? That would be great! But anyway, thanks for your work!!!!
When starting Climate Crisis 2, I took some time to consider if I should include all of Plus in it. I decided that it would be more fun for people to keep some major differences between the 2 hacks, otherwise they might find it boring to have all the same elements reused.
Also this allows me to be more flexible on the changes I want to make and make new things that would interfere with Plus changes.
BUT
Climate Crisis 2 will have its new content too. I think you might want to play CC2 first, and one day perhaps Plus.
