The idea of this hack is to completly open up the planet so every room and item is accessible from the start of the game.

There are a few restrictions:
All the bosses must be defeated to enter tourian
Boss rooms can't be entered from the wrong side
You can't leave boss rooms during a battle

About a 3rd of the rooms are done, but I have to work on other things aswell, such as editing the states so items are available at the start of the game.

I have no idea about a release date, but probably next year some time. (less info)
