Release Candidate 1

With this release, everything as far as the ROM is concerned is now complete. RC2 will hopefully arrive in the next couple of days, but should be just changes to the external supporting files. As it will be mentioned below, there is one bug that may or may not get a fix, but the plan is to move forwards to the 1.0 release regardless.

Here are the major changes since Beta V5:

Game ID update

The ROM hack will now use the Game ID: GUPX8P. This allows the game to create a separate save file compared to the original game making it much easier to keep best times separated as some times are impossible on SX given the changes to the timer. I even manged to update the graphics and meta data for the save file so it easy to see which file is for SX.

New Messages Translated

With the help of ChatGPT and Google Translate, I was able to get translations for the other languages supported in the game for the new messages the SX adds. Please let me know if there is an issue with any of the translations. It goes without saying that this method of translations has its faults.

Update UV maps for Shadow

The re-UV maps for Shadow are now done. However, due to the tools available as of this release, 1 cutscene (Sonic and Diablon Dark Intro) had to be reverted back to the original settings. It won't look bad unless you have a bright main color with your custom textures. Generating these within the SX Launcher will be available in RC2.

Behind the Scenes Timer Update

It was noticed some time ago that the bosses would act a bit different in SX compared to the Original when restarts would happen. I found what the cause of that was and now fixed it so that it's back in sync with the original.

As always, and especially now, any playtesting and feedback would be appreciated. The next update, RC2, should finalize everything for the supporting software and textures. The plan to have 1.0 out before SGDQ 2023 is still on track.

That is all for now. Let me know if there are any issues or changes you would like to see by contacting me (BlazinZzetti) on Discord.

Thanks for playing and I hope you enjoy!
