Story
Shiff T. is a young toad with a exciting and dangerous hobby: thieving and treasure hunting with her friend Loy'l T. They visit numerous ruins and archaeological sites together in the hunt for riches and treasure. But things go sour one day when Shiff accidentally uncovers an ancient creature under the name Omniform. The beast begins to steal and repurpose forms, shapes and bodies of the creatures in the mushroom world.

However, an ancient artifact allows Shiff to combat the menace. Using it, she is able to shapeshift at will and use the powers of various creatures in the Mario world.

Game
Super Ancient Keys is the sequel to the fangame Toad and the Ancient Keys. It is a metroidvania platformer where the player must visit various temples to locate keys to open the way to Omniform. On the way, they will uncover new and exciting forms that provide them with new moves to access new areas.

Features:

• -Several temples to visit and explore
  -A map system (currently wip)
  -Shapeshift into Mario enemies to uncover new areas
  -A fully functional dialog system (completely from scratch)
  -This time, there's gonna be bosses
  -A fully (or near fully) original soundtrack (ogg preview)
  -Probably some keys somewhere!

I'm kinda aiming to be mostly accurate to SNES limitations, so some things may be changed to suit this.

Just a little something to assure you it's still alive. Tryin' to be a little hush hush about it, you know.



The minimap system is coming along fairly well now, after a bit of trouble. Also, if I haven't shown it before, a little preview of what the buzzy beetle form can do.

Are you ready for completely unsubstantial updates because Dustin wants to show you it's still alive, but not spoil actual content?! HECK YEAH YOU ARE

Been working on revamping the HUD to both look better and hopefully be slightly more SNES accurate.
