Credits
DeadInfinity – The mod
Ikaruga (through Sbody2) – The idea for J+E’s new Birthright
Sodom & Gomorrah – Inspiration for two characters controlled w/ different keys.
Team Folio – Testing, feedback, generally being rad.
Melon – Earning ages worth of respect for good will, hard work, and brilliant thinking that made the idea worth trying.
Maria – "Was There"
Unintended Features
- The API doesn’t provide a way to prevent the drop input from freezing Esau in place. If you’re on keyboard, you can use the shift keys instead to avoid this. If not, sorry!
- The Mines escape sequence disables Marked. This means you have to manually command Jacob and Esau to shoot, via the drop input or the shift keys, which is a little inconvenient.
- Red Bombs must be thrown with the drop input or shift keys.
- This mod uses the MC_PRE_PLAYER_COLLISION callback, which is currently broken in the API and can only be used by one mod at a time. You can get around this with Mod Compatibility Hack.
