Report RSS Legend 9, Full Version progress, update 25: Souls-like...

While Q2HM 2.0 is getting ready to launch, i've actually spent more time with Legend-9, map 33. Yep, still there, it is quite an extensive mamajama, lol. Not due to its size, it's rather average in that regard, but due to the number of different sections that it has. And each one of those has a distinct flavor, which must nonetheless connect reasonably to the adjacent sections. So, i am now approaching the Forge, which is about at 2/3 of the level, if to measure by the version 8.33 map. I also scripted the entire entrance fight, though have not tested it yet. I am closing in on this level, step by step. There are a few levels in Legend-9 that i've taken to revision 5 (such as this one - the ex-Refectory), and these demand quite a lot of effort. I know that there are still the other 4 Chapels left, - but i am not worried about that at all. These are revision 4 levels, and they have been taken care of very well. Only minor texture corrections are necessary there. No problem at all. Easy pickings.

What does it all have to do with "souls-like"? There is only one thing "worse" :-) than modding for a superior game, and that is coming across a souls-like that piques my gaming curiosity. While usually i strictly abstain from the time-guzzling pit hiding under the souls-like name, but once in several years comes one that i deem interesting enough to dive into. And when i do that, i end up wanting to contribute and help people. It is in my nature. I absolutely despise the "git good" mooing cult-cows. Cause they contribute nothing. Last time i played a souls-like (Mortal Shell), i took quite the time to create multiple guides - which proved to be very useful to many people. And i am glad it did. So, it is more than likely that i will be doing that again, although on a smaller scale this time. Meaning, - another time-boulder is rolling down Legend's road. It's not happening right now, but it's almost certainly on the menu.
