Just thought I would like to say, last night I pushed the first build update in 15 months. The build is a small patch for the Orange Islands, more info on the build history page, and a spoiler below. You guys waited 1.5 years for development to resume, to those who are still with us, thanks for holding out.
So why did this happen? The answer is simple, I'm back! Development has resumed on LC, however it will be at a slower pace than previously seen. For example, there could be 10+ new builds in a day, and none for a week+. I'm juggling my time here and there to fit as much LC in as possible. I miss hacking and it's been far too long. As I did that update and pushed the build button, I was shaking with excitement of whats to come for LC in the future. It seems like a coincidence that Zeikku made a post last night, he does not know about my comeback, nobody did until now. So there we go, I'm back, so let's continue where things left off.
As for my plans on what's coming, there will be a patch somewhere soon to fix the Crystal Onix glitches which have plagued the game since 2013. Thanks to DaniilS for his ASM skills. I'll be continuing the story and various bug fixes hand in hand with the aim to have the story 100% completed as the first priority. After this is done and the final areas are available, the build will change to a new major number to mark this milestone of completion. However, the game is not gonna be completed at that point, there is still more to do. Once the story is done, the final phase of development will begin. This is where we re-create the whole game from scratch on a new ROM. Not only will this make for a much more pleasant experience, but it will be bug free and glitch free as well. That is the main reason for that decision. It will mean however that everyones save game will be incompatible when that happens.
So there we have it, out of the blue LC is back :)
