@Luna @Letter Bee @thewizardguy @supertinyking @Creedthechimera @ShadowVentusAlright, given the current state of hcl, we may need a fresh start as tiny suggested. I have a fairly good idea of what needs to be done, but I am open to suggestions.
Here's my ideas so far, and honestly this isn't the only time they've been brought up, nor am I the only person to bring them up. This is just what I think will help in the near future.
1. Getting rid of the lore seems like a good start. Hcl has a rich lore, given how long it's been going. But I would say it's a little too rich. Though it may not do much, at the very least it will make things less complicated.
2. In the previous reboot, I guess you could call it hcl 3 if you wanted to, Matt had this thing where it was sorta like a cs, but instead of chars, it was universes. While it had its flaws, it seems like it will help add a bit of depth. This one is still up in the air however, as there will be dimensions that are introduced, but only traveled to once or twice. So I guess some (but not all) universes would be an exception to this. Honestly, I'm not sure how well this idea will work, but at this point it may be necessary.
