VLDC2 complete. I have officially done 1/3 of this whole hack solo (And I plan to do the other 2/3 just the same) Couple things to note, there's still no epileptic parts yet, but there will 100% be some in VLDC3, so be ready for that. While lunar magic may not work, I did learn I can get the levels from smwdb (I knew existed but forgot about it), so that problem is no longer an actual problem. Corner clips are still very hard but still very possible. Most of the corner clips I did with downloading the patch to the vldc level and then TASing the level in the individual ROM. Only one that I had to learn to do manually without the lua script was in FROSTY HOLLOW. It wasn't fun but it did work eventually.
Also, why did all of the last few levels have to last forever? I was just trying to finish this thing that should have been done last week but wasn't due to procrastination and burnout and I ended up feeling more bored than ever trying to get the rest done. It was fun sure but those levels were a bit much.
