Optimize first, Check, Make sure there's no conflicts with other adventure things like the Bubble boxes, Bugfix, Then launch!

Okay! But yeah, all this will take quite a while to be honest, and I will try to polish up some other factors of this stage If there's a reason for it too. So this update may be a Christmas gift at worse.
 
Grab some pre-release screenshots because the peak I'm cooking up cannot be contained much longer!1!1

I decided that If I have access to all of the sprites, then I will use all the sprites. And I did, and i'm happy that this stage has more of an actual SA1 visual flair to it. :3 And yes, I'm adding more decorations to make some areas less barren. And the stalagmites are finally back now! ^-^​

This discussion page is slowly turning into a one big W.I.P showcase. But I'm actually adding features that make feel really happy and fulfilled. :3 This update is actually starting to feel like the Ultimate version of this stage to me! :wow:​

The first major addition is me finally adding the roofs for the hotel section! (It's pretty late considering how this is the final update for this addon, but I think that it fits to go out with a bang and add everything that was due.)


And the second major addition is me trying to actually do with the "loop mountain" so it won't be just an obstacle. So I made this little cave inside the mountain that will maybe house some goodies and other stuff. It may not be a loop, but I still think that I can make this work.

And you having to bounce away from the slope so you won't hit the mountain actually kinda grown on me. This whole section works actually pretty cool even with SRB2's limitations because you have few ways to go over it. You can just spin and let the slope throw you into the water and then skip over it and land on sand. You can spin while being turned more to the wall and then jump off the more vertical slope and smoothly land on the sand below. I honestly just find it neat. :3
​

And now for the less important changes. I decided to polish and optimize some remnants of my old map-making skills by getting rid of some unnecessary sectors tags and fof's. (And you need know that I barely knew what I was doing at the time when making this map, so there were some things to polish. :'> Don't let young me ever cook again...)

And I decided to compress the music for this addon which made this addon go from 6.7 mb's to 4.4 mb's! I really don't know who's going to take advantage of this change, but not everyone has 1GB\s internet speed or 1TB of storage so.... yeah... Now you can fit this stage on 3 floppy disks instead of 5. :P (And yes, I took the time out of my day to actually calculate how many 1.44mb floppy disks it would take to contain this addon.)​
 
Aquavine updated Emerald Coast with a new update entry:

All clear! The final major update! :D

It finally happened. The legendary v1.5 update is officially out now. And with it coming out, I'm also going out... of the development of this addon. :D

At this point I feel like I did everything I could to make this stage as good as it possibly can be, and beyond maybe some small patches, I officially can say that after a almost a whole round year of development... this addon is fully completed... (But if some issues are present, just tell me about it. •3• )


So start...

It's just...good.
I'm glad Aqua got what they wanted.
Thank you for bringing this masterpiece to life.

Was that ”they” just a typo? Because if anyone wonders I use the regular male pronouns. •3•

And for the other thing, I’m happy that you liked it. :D (And I was kinda surprised by the amounts of cool’s that I recived on that update post alone. I wasn’t expecting that many people to like this addon. ;w;)

And it’s gonna feel weird knowing that this journey that started another bigger journey is over now. I’m surprised by the rapid progress that I did over the span of this single year.

...FUUUUUUUUU-
My bad. TwT
And that's true. We've got two Emerald Coasts (Three if we count the Battle port), and this is my favorite by a long shot! You've done well, and you're still going at modding! I really am impressed!

I already used someones wrong pronouns myself, so I don’t see a reason to feel heated about this. :P

(4 with the mgx one and 5 with the v0.96 build if I remember correctly. And mgx is pretty much just the finished version of v0.96 one so I don’t know if it counts. :P)

:wow: I’m happy to hear that, and I have a big bond to mapping now, so there’s no way I’ll just quit like that. I hope that one I’ll hit the milestone of 10 whole maps on my account. :D

I worked so long on it that it started delaying the whole addon from releasing. xD (Worth it by the way. :D)

My favorite fictional character... a two act SRB2 stage... :blink:

Also, look in that small cave where the double loop should be in act 2/wind.
