-Fixed getting out of bound near World map's World 2 shop
-Fixed Wrong Tree in Water Cave

--General
-Buffed Star Whip
-Gold Hunting Shotgun left barrel only fired 10 pellets instead of 20
-Hunting Shotgun can no longer be auto fired by keeping the fire button pressed. This avoids unloading both barrels by mistake instead of a single shot.
-Fading Coins don't add to item counter anymore
-Chests become non-solid after opening them
-Cannons cannot instakill anymore and they have a smaller splash damage radius
-Finite now credited (Maker of the pistol sprites)

Known bugs
-Random z fighting in Sunny Seaside (have to investigate, it might be a Gzdoom related issue considering it doesn't show up in previous gzdoom builds)
-"Could not find dialog "SCRIPT00" (Does not affect the game whatsoever, i have to go back and edit all the dialog files.)

Now if only I weren't in World 7 with over 100 Big Coins. 17 hours of progress. Guess I'll see it through.

-Buffed Star Whip

Neat. I had trouble finding purpose in it, then again I didn't bother to understand the Energy Blaster until I was out of ammo in Overgrown Brambles.

Thanks to Batandy's tagging in his custom SPCs, the underwater part of Sunny Seaside and Port Paradise.

I found out Port Paradise not too long ago when I looked at its music's filename, but still thanks.

I have to say that Batandy's SNES renditions sounded better (except a certain version of the Kirby track in Port Paradise) IMO, I guess that says those tracks sound better if they're made for SNES?

Anyone found the big coins in Beautiful Bay yet? I have no idea where any of them could be besides the one mentioned earlier in thread.

[taedium211]

Damn, I had little to no trouble finding the big coins in the first GS. But I can't even find all three in the first map!

The ones I found are

---

On the ledge with the vines to climb back up, and the one in the center of the hedges near the exit switch

Where even is the last one? Haha

Guys? I think I'm in the wrong WAD!!

On the same platform as the switch to get the elevator going, hidden behind a wall of grass/vines on the side. This was not an easy one to find! Took me a good while.

Finally finished it. It was a fun run!

The Sky world is probably my favorite, since I liked the themes of the maps there. Strawberry shrubs and a beautiful village atop a sky with a chill music to boot? A land made of junk food and cereal? A ghost house paying homage to Castlevania with that awesome twist in the end? All of my yes. Hell, even the castle pays homage to Castlevania: SoTN. The last map was gorgeous but I think the very last congratulatory map from the first game had more of an impact despite how short it is. Probably because of the music and the environment. Samuel Hayden appearing in the UAC Headquarters is a nice touch, and I like how the headquarters has the Crateria surface theme from Super Metroid. Good choice of music!

Also, I felt a bit teary out of nostalgia (yeah, it's only three years since I've finished GS1) when the Happy Gardens appeared at the end, and the statue at the very beginning where it has a plaque saying "This is where it all started" contributed to the warm nostalgia. And the sign in the hidden big coin area where you have to climb on a tree in order to get into.

PS. that gorehouse in the hell world was nasty.

I really liking this game so much. Really improved and still updating than the prequel and it's so worth it... However it's kinda challenging and sometimes unfair, maybe i really stink at first person platformer. But i'm still alright with this!

... However i've got some weird things during playing this mod. Such as;


While other map shows just its name, this map shows both map's name and the creator's.


Some Lava Streams like this one in Pyro Pyramid can have some bullet holes on 'em.

How did you even do that anyway? By changing textures? :O

It's for the guest maps.

[Captain J]

So that's intentional because some maps were made by volunteers, guests and anyone important? Yeah, i guess that makes sense.

[MolochMekkane]

Got through to the end. 22 Hours, 128 Big Coins, 80 dead Spiders, and one very dead Icon. I thought it was over.

---

I was wrong. I haven't found the 129th yet. I'm not sure if it's really well hidden, I missed something obvious, or it doesn't exist.

If it's not made by me, it's credited in both the credits and the automap

I'd go back and check the previous levels if you missed a coin.

I'd go back and check the previous levels if you missed a coin.

I don't know how, but after constantly checking every time I cleared a world, I had still missed one.

Astral Accomplishment was nice. Glad for that 100% star to make it crystal clear.
