This is a remake of Lunar Shadow, but still using the same Cave Story stuff. Yeah.

Have a screenshot of the very first room!
It's supposed to be an options room, by the way. Looks otherworldly, doesn't it? :3
Currently, there's like five possible options. I won't spoil them, though.

FYI, "xenoa" is the Newerthan word for "rebirth", so I guess you can say the mod's name is "Rebirth: Lunar Shadow".

As I said, I wanted to contribute by updating the MyChar sprites. So far, the only changes are updating them to look closer to Selenic Shadow's style of shading characters. I'll post the end results here when I'm finished sprinting them.

Which is why I haven't started on any new outfits yet. :3

I've finished the sprites, so you can find them now in the Xenoa: Lunar Shadow gallery.

They're… they're… they're… beautiful *o*

Okay, the gallery's now at 501 pics, but that's not important. What's important is how awesome these updated sprites look like!

But.
The Dark Armour's got an eye that's looking a bit off by about a pixel.
(I will admit, I was planning on replacing the Dark Armour with a new sprite of Serenity wearing a different gas mask and having her shoes removed, but that's just a minor thing.)

Also, some of the other outfits have minor details that have to be fixed, but that's pretty much an easy task (Newerthan Witch outfit has only one glove when it should be two, for instance).

BUT.
Most importantly.
* unleashes the ultimate glomp on King *

Some time ago, I posted some updated sprites for the Shinica + Luna fight which gives Shinica a dark aura. I ended up thinking while making dinner about how the final boss could have different dialogue depending on if you spared the two or not.

If you did, Serenity tears Aidan a new one over all the horrible things he's done and being disgusted that he's dating a clone of her, creeped out by the implications of this. Tranquility hints that she knows that Aidan's current form is a disguise while stating her attraction to the real Aidan, with Serenity being rather steamed about having to deal with a clone saying these things while wearing her face. Then they fight. (The dialogue is altered slightly if you either let Ilina live or die)

If you didn't, Aidan tries to gloat over how Serenity basically killed her mother (Valkyrie), her sister (Shinica), her uncle (Ladislaw Smit) and aunt (Xydia Horton) while revealing that the latter two had been turned into Sycor and XYZ. He then finishes by calling Serenity a murderer. Serenity loses it and verbally blasts him for being a hypocrite for all the murders he's committed and that he tricked her into killing Valerie's parents. Aidan laughs it off and the two fight. (If the player also let Ilina die, then this dialogue is altered slightly)

If Valerie Horton is the final boss of the "kill Shinica/Lunadine" route, Serenity is glad to see Valerie only for the latter to declare that she hates Serenity for murdering her parents. Serenity retorts that she didn't know that her parents had been turned into monsters. Valerie then points out that Serenity had no problem with allowing Shinica to possibly be killed by Grialdyn's burning shrapnel remains and if you let Ilina die, didn't think about what would happen to Newerth after Ilina's death.

Serenity tries to apologize for her mistakes only for Valerie -mad with grief- to accuse Serenity of making excuses and only caring about her parents before deciding to avenge her family members. Then the fight begins. Killing Valerie gets you the Familicide Ending where you save Newerth but Serenity is left alone and is later killed several years later in 2017 trying to stop a resurrected Aidan.

If the player got the normal ending, the game's ending hints that there might be another way and perhaps Serenity could get her parents back, unlocking the way to Confusion Zone.

During the Castle Master Serenity ending, the narration mentions Serenity searching around the castle, driven to madness and finding Lunar Shadow itself. She then uses its powers and becomes Fallen Serenity, kickstarting her newfound reign of terror across Newerth.

Also, a joke ending where if you go through the backdoor to the final boss, Aidan just flips and rants about how Serenity ruined the moment and that he **** quits, never to be seen again.

What could have been: the mod…

Unfortunately.
It was lost in the hard drive failure of last month. T_T
