Hello MCindusMODS Patrons!

Thank you so much for your patronage! Seeing as this is the first EVER mods newsletter, I’d like to welcome you to our little community. Most of you are likely huge FF8 fans, and I want to thank you for helping to support my efforts to bring US ALL a better experience when playing FF8! Beyond that, our shared love for art, gaming, music, modding, customization, and nostalgia brings us together and enables us to create!

And now, what I’m sure most of you have been waiting for:

LP MODS NEWS!

There are currently TWO Lunatic Pandora Mods under development! 

Let’s talk about the Remastered LP Mods first:

- There are currently 6 mods in development for the ‘suite’ for LPR v1.0

- SeeDRemastered v1.1 -- Currently multi-language support is being completed.

- SR v1.0 FONTS -- Making 3-4 fonts for use from old mods, in progress

- SR v1.0 Gradients -- Colors/Designs for text boxes, in progress.

- Tripod Remastered v1.1 -- Currently working on ‘fixing’ halos in Draw/Lose text.

- GeroGero Uncensored v1.0 -- FINISHED, link available for SeeD tier or higher!

- Lionheart: Remastered v1.0 -- FINISHED, link available! (SeeDs+)

- LunarCry: Field Models Remastered v1.0 -- FINISHED, link available! (SeeDs+)

- RebirthFlame: Remastered v1.0 -- Squall mod nearly complete, see twitch.tv

Mods that are ‘in-the-works’ but currently don’t have a way to ‘inject’

- ProjectAngelwing: Remastered v1.0 -- Gigapixel Fields: no way to inject yet

- Battlefields: Remastered v1.0 -- no way to inject yet

- HorizonPack: Remastered v1.0 -- world textures, no way to inject yet

As far as the Lunatic Pandora v2.0 (2013) Steam version is concerned:

- NPC Mod -- need hashcodes, have upscales and fixes ready to go.

- GF animations -- need to fix hash collision problems

- LunarCry Gigapixeled -- need to cut out images and fix objmap issues

- Battle FX/Magics -- need to fix hash collisions and make new atlases

- Limit Breaks -- may have to compile this with battlefx mod

- Porting FF8R Mods to this version as well! (no backporting of textures from remaster) 

I hope that clears up any questions everyone has about what mods are being worked on.

I will be releasing another newsletter separately about my other mods in progress that ARE NOT Lunatic Pandora related, such as my WoW Classic Mage UI, my [FF8] Unity Project, etc.!
