I want to make something clear:
REDUX IS HARDCORE, BUT EXPANDED
Everything from Hardcore is in Redux to my knowledge give or take one or two minor things. There were just a lot of updates and changes and all that jazz. The reason I closed Hardcore down was that the sheer amount of work for Gen VII was demotivating as I had to edit every single fight to incorporate Gen VII. That's a lot of content and that content needs to be tested for quality. I'm only one guy.
And then there's something else I do need to talk about. Look, I get it if you don't like me or don't like Redux. That's fine. It's not hurting me at all. Heck, it might be making the mod more popular. I'm only doing this because there are people who absolutely love the work I put in to this mod and want to play it. I don't care if I'm the best or better than xxx (in fact it makes me relieved to have that pressure off my back), but this "Memeborn is better" stuff has to stop. All it's doing is hurting Memeborn and setting their expectations to do everything I do, but better. Let's just come to terms and separate these two mods, not for me, but for Memeborn. Azery does a great job on fights and I will give credit when credit is due. If you love Memeborn or Redux simply share them and explain why you like them. Making these mods especially big ones that take a lot of work can put a lot of pressure on people because there's a small niche of people interested in them. These things take work and it's so easy to be fatigued. It might be fun and games now but once a year passes it gets rough and so easy to not want to do it. I can't say there will be an E19 Memeborn and heck I can't even promise an E19 Redux. So I want you to just think about what you're saying when talking about any mod.
You can criticize any mods you want. I have my personal dislikes of SWM because I really dislike hacking and cheating when it comes to playing games. There are some absolutely phenomenal mods and features in there that blow anything I do out of the water which are a part of it. There's good work done by all kinds of people. And while being the only one doing modding would most benefit me, I'd rather there be too many mods than too little. So can we all cut this "Better than" crap out and just focus on supporting stuff we like and give feedback to make them better. I know it's only a couple people but it only takes 1 to push someone enough not to want to do this anymore.
And no, I don't want sympathy as I said, this doesn't affect me at all. I find it amusing if anything at all. Think of it merely as advice to help keep what you love and enjoy around.
