C-c-c-c-c-crossposted Why you need to fetch jellyfish juice instead of, say, water. Jellyfish juice is the only thing in CS that puts out fire and then starts it again. I imagine that the mimigas, like many primitive cultures*, have a difficult time getting fires started (and a lack of trade...

"Tides are caused by a gravitational pull. Though what we are seeing has nothing to with gravity, or the floating of the island, but more to do with the way the core floats." The core is keeping the island floating, isn't it? It also has some influence upon the water level, since it only...

The blade is made out of metal brought by human explorers. From what we can see of mimiga society, it's pretty clear that they don't have the technological capability to do large-scale metalsmithing. Most of the schizo-tech on the island can be explained that way. Anyway, I'd blame the hermit...

The core. Think about it. There's a huge area with water going up and down. Moving that much water... a lot of energy there. Clearly the core defenses were installed by an earlier human exploration force who had three objectives A) Study the core B) Use the core as a power source C) Use the...

So, out of curiosity, how many times did they die on the fourth spike?

German for ski tracks, IIRC. At least, that's what the translators said.

Maybe he uses parts from the booster mk 0.8 to fix the teleporter? Or takes out the power supply and recharges it?

So, I decided to try a hellrun with this (which I then realized was impossible, since the booster isn't implemented yet). I read the sign "welcome to hell", moved a few pixels left, and fell through a wall and got stuck. I think it's a bug in how slopes are handled. There are also oddities...

I like the night spirits and the chinfish (there's only one). Ironhead is cool too.

Look, if you never found the body, then Booster is not quite dead after all.

It's obvious that Quote and Curly were made by different designers. Why? The puns for names. { Curly Brace -> Brace is last name. " Quote Marx -> Different last name required for symmetry.

Could be the start of an anime series. "She was cursed by a witch. Whenever she sneezes she turns into a rabbit-person."

And it looks like they're doing pretty well with the technological reversal.

A sinister plot? You decide. The doctor is waiting.

Curly was running past the Prefab house when the island started quaking, and ducked inside. Then the floor collapsed. She ended up in the sacred grounds How did Curly get through that part? Well, she has some sort of forcefield defensive system (as seen when you fight her), and she can jump...

3d. It's actually going in a spiral.

Balrog is a construct made by an ancient race* in their likeness, just as Quote is made in a human form. Probably served a similar scout robot function to Quote, based upon Misery's comments. Pooh Black, of course, is the ghost of one of the members of this ancient race. *From what is now...

Well, offhand I can think of two ways. The first is triggered spawns (like the hordes of enemies when you get the spur), with a trigger that's initally set and gets unset when you pass the area. The second is making a new map but without the enemies, then setting areas up so that once you pass...

They're evil ghost things. Just like the dragon corpses, they can't be trusted to stay still.

My handwave for a bunch of things. About five minutes of vigorous palm motion. The island is a floating island. There're a lot of them in fantasy, but it doesn't really matter how it floats so much as that its "natural state" is floating*. A long time ago: Ballos goes completely nuts. He...

"Obviously" this is been shown with a point of view that's been filtered through Quote's extensive antenna-based sensors. Things aren't neccessarily the same sizes they are in the game, but are represented based on their ability to be targeted/landed on. Thus, the doctor isn't really that much...

The twelve days of Cavestory Christmas (sorry about image size. Animation is big. :/) Hope I got the timing right... EDIT: Man, I never did link to the slower version, did I? This ought to be slow enough

I was answering a slightly different question (about the profile.dat I posted). There was a very slight possibility that the game might resave the weapons after the first as being null. Fortunately, that's not the case.

Well, the slot 2 is a null weapon. The data on the other slots is complete. The game just stops checking for weapons as soon as a slot with "no weapon" is found. EDIT: Having checked, I can doubly confirm this is the case. If you get a new weapon the game overwrites the null slot and all the...
