So will the saves from the old version works?

I'm not sure, I think from past experience with Suburbs they probably won't, worth a try though.

Something I noticed on the updated version is the song that originally played on Ancient Observatory (ocflore7) is now replaced with the Pelagic Pillars song (ocflore6), and the original Ancient Observatory song is no longer in the game. Since the patch file doesn't reflect this change and still sh...

Alright, the first revision is completed and can be downloaded from the first post in this thread or here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/m8btdabl33ogxil/Operation%20Ocflore.zip?dl=0 This update addresses the following: - Pererro hitbox fixed - Blue bird replacement hitbox fixed - tile issues and bugs (w...

I'm glad I left it a while before releasing a revision guys, thanks for your input and feedback! There's always things that I miss and I'm getting this thing tweaked and ready for an update. Random question, why is the palette alteration done with an external program, rather than a patch? This also ...

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that anyone can feel free to use any of the graphics in those bitmaps for their own projects. There's a fair amount of stuff in there that I didn't end up using in the game for whatever reason. again, your art development folder is a blessing. thanks so so much for sharin...

Thanks Nisaba, I've fixed all of those issues just now! Not sure how to tackle the trees blending in, might see if other people think the same as I don't find them too difficult to differentiate from the background. ps.: the setting of this level reminds me a lot of the Ancient Ruins from Disney's 1...

Thanks for all the great feedback so far guys, I really appreciate it! I think I'll have a revision update to post in the next couple of days as I go in and fix the minor issues that are being pointed out, keep them coming! ...I'm not sure I'd call a creature "pet-raped"... I never would have read t...

Regular scrolling in the underwater level (L17) instead of the world-map scrolling. Is that the intended behavior or was this just a side-effect of enabling regular level exits for this level? Yeah, an unfortunate side-effect of enabling a regular level exit! pls let me nit-pick a lil bit. In the h...

speaking of which. In level 5 (Frigid Quarry) I came across a few misplaced tiles which let Keen glitch through walls. to see it in action, just follow the link: https://i.postimg.cc/qMcWxMKp/OO-wall-glitch.gif

Thanks for this! Just fixed it up, wrong tile property!

About that schoolfish hitbox issue: The schoolfish uses "full" clipping, which means that the hitbox for tile collision detection is hard-coded in the executable. The sprite hitbox is only used for sprite collision detection. The flying bluebird also uses full clipping while in fly mode. Maybe that...

One question: will your mod use the screen update code from K1n9_duk3 as well?

Just checked it out and yeah, this is great! Something that all mods should incorporate, keeps those hidden items hidden!

Hi everyone, this thing is basically done! I'm writing this message to ask if anyone would like to lend a hand composing the last few music tracks for the game? 55Aavenue and Kohntarkosz have handled the bulk of the work thus far and have produced some really stunning tracks that I can't wait for yo...
