Hi there. It's been quite a while, hasn't it? I'm sure a majority of people don't even remember that this website used to exist, but welcome or welcome back to those who do remember.
As of March 11th, 2024, I've decided to bring back the SHfOH website back online. The reason is simple - history. This website contains a lot of history for me personally, with me actively maintaining it from 2014 to 2017 with all sorts of junk.
With this resurrection of the site, however, I have removed the following pages:
- osu!
- Need for Speed: World
osu! content does not need to be mirrored, as we have great mirrors in 2024 such as BeatConnect, and many many others. I've also mirrored most of my own beatmaps either by reuploading some of them back onto my osu! profile, or by putting them all on MEGA, which you can find linked here.
As for Need for Speed: World - the content I had hosted on here was DMCA'd by EA a few years back, so the old downloads I used to have are not available anymore. Plus, Soapbox Race World is a thing that exists now, so the game is very readily accessible yet again.
I have, however, added back the page for Hexis, considering that Hexis has been offline for a number of years now. I have updated the YouTube video associated with it with my own video on Hexis, considering that this website went un-updated for a number of years, the related video seems to have been taken down by the uploader too.
One more thing about the Open Hexagon stuff. 2 of the level packs that have been hosted here have actually received ports to the Steam version of Open Hexagon, which you can find linked in the text on the left! The packs that have been ported are:
- Boson X for Open Hexagon
- Super Hexagon 2 - The Unofficial Sequel
You can click the hyperlinked text above to be taken directly to the workshop pages for both packs! Shoutout to VindowVipre for helping with the porting process! I might consider further updates to both packs in the future, as I've replayed them recently and kinda dislike how basic both of them are. Especially Boson X for Open Hexagon, which could really be improved by utilizing some of version 2 & above's features.
What this also means is that the packs hosted on SHfOH are for version 1.92 only, which you can find a download for here. I will also link the same GitHub page in the page for Open Hexagon. These are the same packs that have been hosted here previously with no major changes.
That is all. I don't really plan on maintaining this site very much, but I've at least decided that I'm bringing it back online for historical preservation, especially of my old Open Hexagon packs that nowadays are hard to find, even for me. I do not plan to update Rotating Madness & Super Hexagon for Open Hexagon (SHfOH) to the Steam release of Open Hexagon.
EDIT (2024-03-11 @ 23:18 UTC+2):
After skimming through the osu! beatmap page, I've decided to bring back the page for removed osu! maps, as I do think there's genuine merit to having that page. Some of the maps on there, despite having mirrors available on Beatconnect, are not available anywhere else, particularly some maps that were never even submitted to begin with.
I feel like having a mirror for them is useful for historical preservation, so I have brought the page back and brought the osu! category back with it. I might look through my collection in the near future and actually comb through my osu! folder to find any other deleted/removed maps that are either very difficult or impossible to obtain anymore, and maybe update the website. Watch this space, I guess!
