Actually TRIFORCE89 is right - the purist patch won't include any changes or additions other than the color. I think that's what makes the most sense, but keep in mind that I'll release the source code so tweaking it however you want shouldn't be difficult. In this case it's just a couple of sprite changes and palette swaps, which is really simple to do.

Ah I see, so he was right after all.
Well, if you don't mind, once the hack is out, I could try to tackle that.
As long as it's a sprite and palette change, I could try it out with bare bones hacking instead of the source code.

And if I manage to do it, would it be okay if I add it into your main hack as an optional patch?
Or as a separate hack altogether?
Also, nice to see how the project is progressing

We got to see some sweet ants and fire now haha
