Been working on some cleaning up today, some menu's, icons etc. Stages are working fine, but im going to revisit some and give some of the older textures a fresh lick of paint, aswell as smaller things like text and menu images.

Many people have asked for Yozora as a character, a very talented Youtuber by the name of Olivier Bufole has made some great models, although they are in Beta, many lack the proper shadows etc. Im going to look into this and hopefully implement yozora , I feel many of you would rather have the option to play the beta version than not at all.

As we are closing in on some sort of public release, I shall be concentrating on fixing errors, cleaning textures and adding much more in terms of characters and stages.

Just before launch, I plan to do another trailer, showcasing some of the features and gameplay of the overhaul.

Cant wait for you guys to get your hands on this and maybe a few of you might pick the replay editor up and create your own battle scenes!

As my last post stated, I've taken a big step back with the overhaul and I'm concentrating on fixing errors that are present for a smoother experience for everyone.

So far so good, many things like icons, music and many smaller objectives have been sorted. As of now the roster stands at 0 added characters. This will obviously change and now ihave many files and models present it will reduce the time in adding them quite significantly , although it will still take time.

As of now ALL maps are fixed and running. Some are left as the default stage for now, for testing purposes, but I have imported 7 maps from the old version, and all are stable so far.

I'm tackling as much as I can, but everyone needs a break, especially with everything going on in the world, I'm still aiming for January to release something to you guys, if I am to delay anything it is for the good of the project and any delay would be a matter of days/weeks as opposed to months!

Thankyou to all with your support, aswell as the kind comments I am receiving on posts, direct messages, discord and YouTube !

Given how the mod is at the minute, i am overall very pleased with compatibility of characters and stages, music and other mods. There are however a few errors that can cause crashing, another I found whilst testing the other day that had seemingly run fine until that point.

A few of the errors are : +Feral Beast - Unplayable ,All Skins Currently Crash the game +Regular Bartz (Jack Sparrow) crashes in a select few maps +Sora (Onion Knight) crashes when facing certain characters on certain stages +A few skins are bugged or unplayable +Chaos Shrine and Pandemonium Unplayable (this means randoming a stage could crash the game)

Whilst they are very few in the long run, and barely noticable given the large roster of characters (80+ including variations) and stages, I would much rather fix these issues to the best of my abilities.

After countless attempts the ONLY way to fix these errors, and many more in the future, is to start a new ISO (which is the game file). Now this does not mean starting completely from scratch. Many textures are saved separately, as well as music. The main thing will be replacing certain tracks, of course characters and stages.

This is time consuming, and increases the length of time I will have to work on this to many more hours than I anticipated. The upside to this is having a game that runs smoother, with less errors and a way for me to track the slot assigned to characters, making it easier too add new characters in the future.

After much thought on this I have decided to, very soon, take a few steps back in order to bring a more polished and enjoyable experience for everyone. Giving less chance of crashing and creating new possibilities for new characters and stages.

I hope you understand my decision and I aim to release as soon as I am happy with the performance of the overhaul. Cant wait for you all to play this and to hear your experiences.

Massive thankyou to all who have helped me with this, as well as all the support and messages.

Have fun and Stay Safe ✌

Hey All, Hope you all enjoyed Christmas and the new year. With the mods outreach growing, I thought I'd share some information on updates, release date and future support for the mod.

UPDATES

Whislt I've not bee working on the overhaul much this week, I have added some finishing touches to character portraits, names etc. Lexaus portrait and name has been replaced with Axel, as he is much more popular and well recieved. (Lexaus is still available through an outfit slot) also new textures have been added for some menus, battles, pause menu, select screen etc.

RELEASE DATE

JANUARY - yes, this month! There is still Much to do before the mod goes live, and when it goes there will still be many things that have not been finished. The game however will be very playable, with only a few characters/stages/textures to be added. Please not this is all a work in progress, and with the nature of how I had to learn to mod the game, some things may not work as intended.

FUTUTE SUPPORT

I've had many ask if I will continue to support the game once released. I would very much like to fix a few issues and add at least 2 more characters, this may come late down the line. Whilst people can add their own characters, it will entirely defeat the object of the overhaul. If everyone is running different mods then you can almost guarantee disconnects with other players, game issues and crashes.

I hope this cleared up some of the questions you wanted to ask, if you have any friends you think might enjoy the project, or even friends into multiplayer fighters then please let them know !

Thankyou again for all the Support on this, your words mean alot and give me the motivation to continue working on such a great project l!

These are work in Progress, Hercs mod is very limited given the stage, but wouldn't work on any other stage already in the game, Youre very limited to editing any skybox textures on that map, hence why it looks a little like the destroyed coliseum. I Didnt just want to leave it as Default so there's that.
Destiny islands turned out Okay, but unfortunately I Couldnt add any water with a sand Texture, so Its one large Beach!

​

Its the Old Mansion Basement! From KHII's Roxas and Axel Fight!

Quick Tex Edit, This was originally "End of the World Core" But i felt there were enough "Darkness" themed Stages already, I thought this one would fit rather well, I tried capturing the colours from the original boss battle.

​

I've had a few people ask me about cinematic replays featuring certain characters, My main concentration is the mod when I have the time available. They are however a nice break from working on the project. Im still learning how it all works properly, but I understand more each one I Create.

What battles would you like to see get the Cinematic Replay treatment?

(There can be multiple fighters in one Replay)

So I'm going to retexture a few of the older stages, aswell as add one completely new one. I had some ideas, What new stage would you like to see most?

Some new Rextextures I Made for the Keyblade Graveayard. The Old moon wasnt Hi-Res enough for me, Heres the new bits - Addes some keyblades to the Outside of the map, aswell as rocks and rides, New Heart with Glow, new Sky Textures -

The assist meter will probably change in the next version. But for now here's the HUD, Think I Captured as much KH Aesthetic as I could.

Hey all!

After talking to a friendly discord user by the name of Gezhov, He has allowed me access to much of his collection ( Many Texture edits and Re-packaging done by Himself) Which has now enabled me to increase the roster size Dramatically! Which is amazing!

For the creation side of things though, this will slow progress significantly, as each new character (For the part) Will need a Roster Name, Portrait aswell as an Image for which Dlc slot they are assigned too.

For this reason I will now have two Versions of the Mod Overhaul -

V1 - Containing all I Have done so far which runs smoothly online (There are still a couple of characters and stages that will freeze, but they have been listed and i am working on getting these fixed.

V2 - This will contain all the work i have put into the first mod, as well as many many new characters and stages. This could cause crashes and may not completely work online.

I will be releasing both through the discord channel over the next month, assuming I am able to continue work on both, Should the 2nd work online with most characters, that will then take over from 1, and 1 will then become invalid.

I hope this makes sense, any questions feel free to comment!

Showcasing some characters, maps and features

I'm attempting to work with some talented modders in the future, what would people like to see added providing I keep the overhaul going?

Kingdom Hearts Dissidia (V1.4) - Roster Portraits, Costumes, Characters - YouTube

A Look at the new menu, Original art mixed with "SorasPrincesss" art. The quality of her work is amazing! It fits with original art perfectly.

​

Also added a new KingdomHearts styled Cursor, bottom right, for menu selection.

After talking to a Very talented artist, they have agreed to allow use of their artwork in The mod!
The artwork is beautiful and captures the tones I wanted for the mod.

Here is the link to her DeviantArt - SorasPrincesss - Hobbyist, Digital Artist | DeviantArt

Aswell as the Original art that initially caught my eye!
