Well, depends on what ROM ur tryna edit. If it's like SNES, u can try Lunar Magic for SMW. If it's GBA, APE for palette edits, Sappy for sound. But some of these tools are kinda outdated or buggy. What game u working on?

I think the term "Metroidvania" has gotten so broad it barely means anything anymore. Adding heavy RPG mechanics and slow combat changes the core experience. I'd be down for a new name, but "SoulsVania" sounds weird lol. Maybe "Action RPG Metroidvania" is enough? Or we just let people call it whatever and move on.
