User blog comment:Smash The Echidna/Splice The Hedgehog Updates Blog/@comment-1942179-20120429170412

Okay, I've got some updates here! The mini-bosses in Green Flower City have been updated.

Now, I didn't change the first two, the ones where you have to help Violet and Smash respectively. But the next one after that when you team up with Violet and Speedy, That got a makeover.



Despite how tough that big thing looks, the difficulty remains relatively the same. It's still challenging, as it comes before a savepoint and you'd need to have some items handy before coming over here. Speedy starts off in a critical state, so you have to rush in and heal him. Splice and Speedy are much more prone to getting hurt now that the Fire Breaths have been replaced by things that can actually hurt them without resorting to missiles. (I'd noticed how almost every machine I had fired missiles. >=/ ) So you have to watch Splice a lot more often this time around. The thing also starts using stronger attacks when it's weak.

Tab's battle stayed the same, as it had a Poison breath instead.



Crystal's battle got a change too. That drilling robot hits hard and can attack everyone with an earthquake. But it's defense is pretty low; Even Crystal can do some damage to it. So keep attacking it!



Splice's battle also got updated. There are two of those driller guys, now. I haven't actually tested how hard this is yet, so it might change.



Frost's battle got a complete makeover. The dialog changed a bit as well, as Splice is even more shocked now than before.

Bowling spin got a slight update, but it's not really worth mentioning here.

And that's about it for that part. In other news, I've started working on extending the World Map a bit, seeing how there are a bunch more places I want to go now. At the moment, this is what it looks like.



I don't wanna go too far into the details, since there are a lot of rearrangements in order. The two cities on the top part of the road are Emerald Town (left) and Central City (right). I moved them farther to the left because Emerald Town had a beach. But remembering Central City in SAB2's map, it was also right next to the ocean, with a bridge/highway crossing it from the city's [i]right.[/i] So, I'm gonna have to move the two places to a different spot.

I also had trouble deciding where to put the Mystic Ruins. That's the area to the right of the two cities I mentioned. That'll have to move when I relocate the cities. Perhaps they can switch places?

All the way to the top is a desert. You can barely see it, but there's a town somewhere in the middle of it. That's Kartilla, and you'll have to go there sometime. I finally know where to use the "Golden Sands Zone" area that Daz made a remix for. Except that remix was really old and he made a better song for it.

And that's about it for now. There's a lot more to be done, but I'm getting there!
