Hi there everybody, I've been thinking really hard about what kind of thing I'd do for my 4800th post; forget 5000, 48 is where it is at. So, after a lot of thinking, I've decided I'd do this:
Originally all I wanted to do was just release a small patch for Hunter's Revenge ReVised and call it that, or maybe even release Huntre and Scorpion's Bet: Scorpion's Search, but since one of those is still in the works and the other isn't grand enough, I decided against it, especially considering that I've been giving huge thought to doing a full reboot of the TD4C franchise. No more Mario, no more Sonic, no more Mushroom Kingdom, etc. These may be Super Mario World hacks, but that doesn't mean they have to be Super Mario. So, I figured for my 4800th post, why not show off progress on the ReTelling of the one hack I'm most known for: The Fourth Sector
You see, the current version of the Fourth Sector on the site is very buggy, and over all looks bad; I want to fix that. Really I want to fix that with the entirety of TD4C by getting rid of all the Mario stuff; while there are some things that will need to stay, like ?-Blocks and other recognizable assets, for gameplay reasons of course, you can expect original characters and the titular characters that the TD4C is known for: Hunter and Scorpion, who will be rebranded to "Simile" and "Metaphor" respectively, do their darndest to do villain things, and you as the hero, strive to stop them; all on the meanwhile uncovering some hidden mystery about both the world and these aliens, for what they do isn't done because they're evil. Often things are much deeper than what would appear on the surface. Enough about story stuff, here's some screenies and some vids, enjoy!
The "Black Heart" player graphics you see in one of the videos are a stand in for another character because I figured while I am making this hack, I would like to play with Black Heart. Neptunia is a series I'm in love with, and despite what anybody may say, Noire/Black Heart is best girl, no contest.
Also, without the contributions of people like "Mellonpizza" or "Imamelia", this hack wouldn't be possible; you guys are the best!

And lastly, here is a teaser trailer, albeit outdated now, of Huntre and Scorpion's Bet: Scorpion's Search for the Golden Dollar, which is a less serious, much more humorous work that takes place in an alternate world where Huntre and Scorpion are not villains, and the goal is to win a bet.
