Nice. You were a bit under-leveled for the Seagate fight, but still managed well. I usually try to be around level 4-5 there.
One of the reasons we keep the low level enemies when returning to old areas is to let the player see how much their character has improved. Maybe we could try mixing in some higher level enemies when those specific quests are active.
>Will this impact the lower end devices too badly?
It might, but users with really old hardware can just turn off parallax layers. If they're using the "sdl_hardware" renderer they might not even be able to load the texture if their video card doesn't support 4096x4096 textures. I had a machine with an Intel GMA950 that only supported 2048x2048. But at that point, Flare in general might be considered slow, even without parallax layers.
Correct, but you may be able to skip the pre_power and just use buff=true and post_effect=... on the original power depending on what you want to accomplish.
I believe that is an engine bug, as I encountered the same behavior when trying to create an example combo.
Turns out that the way replace_by_effect was working caused it to "inherit" some of the properties from the original power, which is why the animation didn't change. I've pushed a patch for this upstream.
Great work! I know you used the word "replacement", but I would probably keep both grasslands in the game. Yours would be used for some of the new maps. A couple of reasons why:
More variety
Respect to Clint's original artwork
Yours isn't a 100% drop-in replacement due to things such as the corner wall tiles being 2x2 instead of 1x1.
Critique: Maybe this is just me, but I think the grass is too "vibrant". If this is supposed to be autumn (based on the trees), wouldn't the grass be more dried out and patchy? Maybe some tiles of exposed dirt could also alleviate this.
It should be back up now.

I messaged Clint about it. He mentioned upgrading the server to me back in June, so that might have something to do with it.
Today! However, this release is 99% engine updates with no new game content. I just haven't had the time to sit down and work on Flare stuff lately.
Nice. That's more variation than I was expecting!

Oh, I somehow missed the 1x1 corner tiles. Disregard my original comment, then.
