PNG Story - From the idiot attempting to bring you The Dark Platform

PNG Story

**What Is It?**

So... Yeah. Cave Story, but that uses PNG's instead of PBM/BMP's.
Iunno.

**Features**

1.) "(C)Pixel" requirement removed.

2.) Graphics editable with just paint (no hex editor needed).

** IMPORTANT **

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH SUE'S WORKSHOP!

**Notes**

1.) File size has decreased about ~24% compared to the PBM format.

2.) 256 colors to work with versus the original 16.

3.) This RAR only contains the core EXE and the Data folder. Apart from missing a few files and the conversions made, this is identicle to the Cave Story from the Cave Story Deluxe installer.

4.) This is designed to make modding both easier and more accessable to those who might just want to draw some new sprites or tilesets.

5.) For non-graphical edits, please use Cave Editor. Sue's Workshop will corrupt the EXE. Sorry, but it was unavoidable.

6.) For graphic edits, any program that can handle the PNG format (Including MS Paint) will suffice.

Final notes:
I really just slapped this together in 3 minutes.
Do with it what you will.

 

2.) 256 colors to work with versus the original 16.

Holy Shit.

 

Holy Shit.

What? D;
Well I COULD'VE made it 16 million, buuuut...
That actually increases the file size...
By about 200%...
So... Yeah...
Considering this grants 16 times as many colors... Yeah.

 

you can use 256 colors in the pbms...

Yeah, that's been covered.
>_>
Fine.
I'll bump it up to 64-bit*.
XD
The point I was going for is it's newb friendly.
Though not n00b friendly.


* = Doesn't actually exist, to my knowledge.

 

I get by fine with 24 bit bitmaps.

Yeah, I'mma stick to PNG's.
>_>
They give me warm fuzzies.
Plus they small.

 

yup, pngs are the best.

If you're saying that sarcastically, it's a diet of candied clams and prune juice for you.

 

.PNGs don't upload to imageshack very well.

Fuck Imageshack.

wut? that wasn't sacrasmic!
jpegs ruin fotos, gif sucks and the bmp doesn't hold transparencies!

The cost of convenience, I suppose.

Good. No candied clams for you.

The cost of convenience, I suppose.

Meh.
I find Skydrive convenient.

 

no it taint.

 

no it taint.

Ya it is. >_>

 

nope

 

nope

...
My case has been made.

 

Wow this is huge.
Does it work with transparencies? If so, you are my new hero.

 

Would a version with gifs be possible?
Or even Animated Gifs?
That would be brilliant to use with tilesets and backgrounds.
Although it would make the file size massive.....
