I thought this mod was dead since I hadn't seen an update in so long, but I'm glad to hear it at least hasn't completely scraped and forgotten.
Considering that Oni breaks his own game with every major update, then slowly patches it over the next several updates, calling Oni's code a mess is an understatement.
Considering what the modders have to work with, it's understandable that there haven't been any new developments with the expanded mod in so long.
But now, I can't help but wonder...
If you basically have to rewrite the entire game just to make a mod for it, wouldn't it be easier to just do the same thing but better?
It sounds like the modders are more competent coders than Oni is, so I'm surprised no one has just said "Fuck it!" And made their own version of Oni's game.
Maybe use Rogue Like Evolution as a reference for what content to include, then cut out the middle man (Oni) and make a better version?
I know that it is far easier said than done, but given how well received Rogue Like Evolution has been, I'm surprised Oni doesn't have more competition.
