Cave Story: Escape the Island

My mod. No demo yet, but one coming soon. For story, I have this.

Spoiler

Quote lost his balance and fell off Balrog at the third ending. He landed outside the seal chamber.
Kazuma recieves news of this whilst sitting in his house on his mini-island, a small version of the actual island. He brings the mini-island about and drops it into orbit under the island.

Here are some screen shots!

 

Sounds/looks interesting. Will be waiting to see more.

 

Level designs look nice

 

The mod does look nice, but maybe the story behind it could be changed a bit. Loosing his footing while riding Balrog seems a little unrealistic, after keeping his footing all through Hell. Maybe wind turbulence or something could be used instead.

But that's just my opinion. I'm new to mods, and I haven't even made one yet, so there's not much I can say on that. You might have a reason for him just falling off, I don't know, I'll just wait for the demo.

How about this:

 

Best idea ever.

 

xD
wow, what a horribly useless filter this is.

 

Best idea ever.

I don't know, I'm not so sure about the whole "Curly shrinking to the size of a mouse" deal. Unless, in an unexpected twist, she falls for Mr. Little and changes for him...?

I also don't get why she has her machine gun equipped, or how balrog is flying without his wings.

Plus if it does happen in the mod, I'd appreciate it if it was a better drawn seagull/bird.

 

Rofl, hence why I said best idea ever and not best drawing ever. I would imagine that if that actually happened in the mod it would be much better drawn (hopefully) .

Even if it's just concept art, he could've taken the time to make Curly the right size in proportion to Quote .

That leads me to a better idea though, imagine if Curly became an item, like Mr. Little?

 

I made that animation in about 3 minutes using tile/sprite sheets, cut'n'paste, and a crappy GIF maker in a game development program. Curly wouldn't stay the same size as Quote because i used 2 different spritesheets.
And her machine gun is equipped becuz I used the curly boss spritesheet. I coulsn't fint the "Regu" spritesheet in BMP format. As for Balrog, well, ther's no excuse for that. I was just lazy, I guess...

apologies.
You get the idea though.

 

This was gonna be a spoiler, but it looks like the mod died in its tracks. Sigh... Somehow all my maps aren't showing up in Sue's Workshop... Is it because I used Cave Editor?
Damn.

It's simply because you used CE. Once an executable has been saved by CE, opening it with SW will corrupt the executable, since SW tries to find the map properties offsets and fails. What you need to do is pick either SW or CE, they don't play nicely together.

I don't get how the mod dying is a spoiler though, were you just not going to tell us and disappear for a bit?

Yeah, Sue's and CE don't play nice.
You can go from working in Sue's to CE but not vice versa.
On the plus side, not all is lost.
The map files (stored in /data/stage) can be imported to a new EXE.
Lot of work but work it, usually.

 

You could just keep using CE, that would be the easiest fix.

But if you really like SW, get a new folder of CS and import the maps back. Also, you should be able to copy/paste all the scripts for those very same maps (take the scripts from CE), so minimal cleanup is necessary to get a fully editable mod back.

 

Or just replace the doukutsu.exe with a fresh one and change the backgrounds back to what they were.

Actually, that's not quite true. It is possible to use CE on a mod that has been edited by SW as long as you don't save the exe in CE. SW autosaves, but CE doesn't, so you have the option not to save in CE.

 

well, i could have figured that out. I wanted to edit the tilesets.
yup, the mod is dead
anyway, i have anew mod i'm planning...
goth story
change weapons to spells, a few minor tileset edits, new maps... it'll be great.
but this time, I won't make a thread until I have a demo.
sorry to disappoint anyone...
i may post the incomplete version of Escape the Island later.

B'awww.
He gave up. :'(
I wanted to see Quote get knocked off Balrog by poop.

 

Kwittar.
First time I tried CE, I did this, but I actually took the time to undo it using magic shit and all that stuff.
