It's coming along well, but it seems as if the kind of drowning we discussed a while ago didn't get implemented (something like 8-10 seconds before any damage takes place, but then 1 point of damage for each ~2 seconds the player remains underwater). Is this something you were still planning to...

Congrats on beating Hell, it's definitely satisfying. Of course, winning the normal way is still pretty gratifying, too. Especially if you were like me and had a machinegun and *never* remembered to use the Booster.

Could she have her own inventory, HP, and weapons? That would be insane.

Some of those bosses will automatically get a little easier in the next release; there is supposed to be an extra health potion and some other tweaks that should tone down the difficulty for you.

Did you release a version that has a Health Capsule in the village? I've downloaded what seems to be your most recent version (in the EDITed post), and I can't find such a capsule.

How's the next release coming? I kid, I kid. It is possible Phantom downloaded the "harder" version and hence is suffering a bit. Regarding the Mutants, maybe you can reduce their attack power so it takes three hits to die as opposed to two. Even if they are relatively easy, two hit kills...

QBasic (or more precisely in my case, QuickBasic) is what I use for over a third of my programming. ;)

I do know "isin't" isn't a word. :) "Despite the appearance of the form alright in works of such well-known writers as Langston Hughes and James Joyce, the single word spelling has never been accepted as standard. This is peculiar, since similar fusions such as already and altogether have...

I don't think you necessarily need to give the health back to the player after resurfacing. In fact, if you do it that way, then it sort of defeats the purpose of having the health decrease as opposed to just drowning them (unless you wanted lower-HP characters to drown quicker). However, I...

Overall I like this project, although the "Cave Story" song does not sound like a particularly original remix. It sounds mostly like the dude just NES'd the orchestration and released it (with rhythm intact). If the other tracks weren't so much richer and more elaborate, I may have not have...

Just as one could increase EXP to make the weapon stay stronger longer (and harder to upgrade in the first place), you could decrease the EXP required to have the opposite effect. Of course, can bias the EXP needed for each level if you wanted to emphasize a quick/slow upgrade process, or a...

This conversion so far is very detailed and is great overall. It's a little more "vertical" than the original game, but you do it without penalizing missed jumps too much, and it's quite creative. The only thing I didn't notice being pointed out yet is that the red-haired kid is two pixels in...

If it doesn't eat up too much space, it may be more appropriate to make the first load of air last around 500, and have Quote recover around 100 for each point of damage he takes. You may find this model to be a little more ... realistic, but if you are out room, what can you do? What name...

Right, but it's not a matter of speed as suggested by "Then leave, but be careful not to be in the water with her too long or she'll die." The key is that you must drain her at the halfway point of the waterway-area right after fighting the Core.

Regarding Nebula, get rid of that horrid acid-induced background. Just use a black one; otherwise people are going to get splitting headaches after 5 minutes.
