I'm still wondering of which one to think about. So far the two options are the widest up-to-date hacks in development.

Anyone who wants to put up their decision has until the end of May to decide.

Edit: I just picked Aegis.

Well, I voted Cliffhanger, since, y'know, I won't know everywhere I'm supposed to go. :P

Technically there are other hacks you could've listed (like FP's Aspiration) but they haven't had as much publicity (if any) so I guess there'd be no reason to anticipate them as highly yet.

I was worried you might mistake it as a cocky or smart-alecky comment. It wasn't meant that way, of course.

Aegis and Cliffhanger will both be great, but I've been waiting for Insanity since I came to the boards.

If you're waiting for Insanity, you're going to be waiting an awful long time I'm afraid =/

Go insane? :P

I voted for Aegis. Mainly because of the change in look and (hopefully extra_smug

) the change in music. The gameplay.. I haven't read too much on it (not for the lack of trying -just not wanting to spoil anything -else).

Cliffhanger... I await it too. I know it'll be hard so it's more of a... waiting for the bully at the end of school... like at 3:00 high. Wink

...type of waiting. Because I know it's gunna kick my butt. laugh new

But having fun is the main thing.

Almost happy

Well I'm watinig for both, Aegis more so than Cliffhanger though. Cliffhanger I mostly anticipate for the challange it will hopefully bring me but aegis seems to be something more than the usual hacks, new bosses new graphics modifyed items. Can't get much better than that.

Except of course from Insanity, oh sweet sweet Insanity...

I like Big Butts and I can not lie

Insanity and Alliance are the only ones I'm looking forward to

I thought alliance got scrapped, or was it SAC?

Jathys is still working on stuff for Alliance.

I believe that SAC isn't around anymore, unless someone has a patch for it to post here, and the download site doesn't exist anymore.

Definitely Aegis.

Aegis and Cliffhanger have different reasons to be anticipated.

Aegis for its wonderful new tileset, ASM, music, bosses, etc

Cliffhanger for the difficulty and grandscale artwork!

I just wish May was upon is already!

...music? I thought nobody had figured out the format for that yet. Now my vote's on Aegis. Cliffhanger looks like a beaut, too. Also looking forward to Infer, just because it's taking me so goddamn long. Lack of massive AP testing will help with that problem, hopefully.

Here's a copy of SAC for anyone interested. TBH, this beta really isn't that much fun to play, but there are a lot of edits and custom PLMs that are interesting enough.

Kej has some notes about the music engine; I've been able to piece together enough from that to make custom music. Still got some work to do though. I wish Kej was on IRC at all... he could probably figure this stuff out easily.

The patch for SAC doesn't seem to want to work. It's ugly unheadered, and headered it looks like it works for most areas but the ship room goes to shit. :(

Headered worked for me. There were only some minor graphic bugs at landing site. Scrolling sky bugged out at the top and the ship has a line through it.

I'm using a clean headered ROM and getting a real mess... Can't move, and if I shoot the game crashes. Trying it with an unheadered ROM is even worse.
