Hello CaveStoryers! You might remember me as that a** that tried to mod WTF Story. (Sorry GIR and Noxid) Well that's over, and I have a new mod! I've learned how to make the script work and all that other crap so I figured, "Why not?"
UPDATES

Spoiler

V0.0.1.0

*Added "Snow Village"
*Added "Snowicide Mountain"
*Most events are working properly

I use BMP as the IMAGE file format so I can use MS Paint for stuff. Like the BG above.

(That BG was used for the start cutscenes)

Well, back to Business.

THIS MOD IS INCOMPLETE.

Ok, so an actual mod? good, all is forgiven, exept for the useless mod files from you're last mod tacking up space on my PC.

Why don't you delete it? It was pointless.

This looks promising. I'll give you feedback once I play it.
...You could have told us it's incomplete?

This is generally something that would be the responsibility of the distributor, not the consumer.

[DoubleThink]

Well that sure was a thing

...You could have told us it's incomplete?

It's standard to assume that mods are incomplete unless stated otherwise

Alright, I'm assuming I'm at the end o the demo, since I can't do anything after going through Kid I_____: Uprising and the following level.
This mod was... sort of decent. You had okay level design, events that worked properly, which is something not many mods have, and it had okay backgrounds.
Alright I'm going to group these bugs and annoyances into categories for easier reading.
Aesthetic Annoyances:
In the first main area, you have your background set to scroll fast left, not scroll left layered.
In the place with the floating Hermit Gunsmith, the cloud's transparency makes it get rid of the tiles that you would think should be there.
The same goes for most other things with transparency.
You seem to make no effort to try and make tiles match up at all. This makes your mod look unprofessional.
Many entities have messed up sprites due to you changing their spritesheet. I suggest looking up what framerects are.
Level Design Issues:
At many times you have unreachable chests that you can never get back to again. This doesn't make the player happy.
Having the three chests with WRONG WRONG and WR... IGHT was a horrible idea. It makes the player have to go through all of the tower over again, something that isn't very fun to have to do more than once.
In the place with the floating Hermit Gunsmith, you can still get the Polar Star and initiate the cutscene with Kazuma.

And now there's the issue of story:
It made absolutely no fucking sense. At all.
Really.

These are all the suggestions I can think of. Your mod would be a lot better if you followed even at least the aesthetic suggestions.

[DoubleThink]

Can't tell if tricked or reverse-pranking

[Aar]

You people really know how to make people feel bad...

[Dunc2403]

Who, me?
I provided you with helpful suggestions that would improve the quality of your mod. If you don't want us to find glitches, don't post it. If you want us to play it, then at least playtest it first to find the obvious glitches. The only thing I was even sort of mean about was the story thing, but if you would make easier to understand, it'd be much better. What I grasped during the opening "cutscene" seemed like an interesting concept that could be made cooler by making it understandable.
