A very Cave Story+ xmas

Got Cave Story+ for Steam?
Try playing it sometime and see if you can find anything different

 

Coming this Christmas...

Hell ITSELF will freeze over.

 

no wai really?
balls now I have to play through to hell >:

EDIT: Nope, never mind, everywhere is frozen.

 

This seem to make me want to cry, but why. Oh , is it the fact that they put holiday decorations in HELL?! And quote a what?

 

He's a reindeer.

also, wat

 

This is not right. What's next, barlog dressed as santa? It seems that I am being stalked.

 

I would love for someone to do a playthrough of this game, just to record all the new content.

Spoiler

I'm looking at you, noxid

 

Not quite sure I'm allowed to put this up, and feel free to get rid of it if I'm not, but just look at the faces.

The Booster ones scare me for obvious reasons.

 

Barlog excells in box-like abilities, hence why he is a Christmas present this year
To all of us!

 

So Ballos is santa. Giving presents of choas and detruction for christmas. Make slaves and monsters out of the naughty ones. Drops an Island on The really good and bad ones!

 

I'm still the only one to notice that Booster's xmas facepic seems to be Noxid's current avatar double-resed?
EDIT: Oh my god Mahin is a snowman.
EDIT EDIT: Quote is still a reindeer in original graphics too. I love this.

 

In case there are no official Christmas track, I found a trick: you can put special music within Christmas (or xmas for an older version) > season > "folder for Org or Ogg".

Example: Let's use Org for this example. Download the Christmas Orgs from Fan Works > Music, under Org/PxTone > Wedge of Cheese, click Christmas Orgs (Batch Download) to download the zip file. (Name is misspelled, it is Cheese, not Cheeze, Andwhyisit, don't confuse Wedge of Cheese with GIRakaCHEEZER. That misspelled name was there all these years!)

Place all Orgs from the zip file to the newly created 'Org' folder, place 'Org' folder within Christmas > season and copy all the drum wave files from base > Org to Christmas > season > Org. Open the context file and find which songs are for. Rename the Christmas named Orgs with short names of the official name, for example (Mischevous Robot is 'wanpaku', Plant is 'plant', Oppression is 'ironh', Cave Story is 'curly', Quiet is 'quiet', Scorching Back is 'wanpak2', Geothermal is 'grand', and so on...).

Once you renamed all of the Orgs to match the names with the ones in base > Org, you now have the Org folder ready within Christmas > season. Launch CS+ from Christmas Eve to Epiphany, set music option to Original and the program ... actually plays the ones from Christmas > season > org !

Hint: If you want to change Wind Fortress music, use child (old) for Wind Fortress, rename child (old) to kaze within xmas > season > org.

For Curly Story, while there will be seasonal art, you will have to modify MyChar.bmp, NpcCurly.bmp & NpcRegu.bmp (don't try Caret.bmp, there is no such drown sprite for Santa Costume Curly) to play as Santa Costume Curly by finding the sources and editing them very carefully (you also need to increase color depth to 24-bit if possible).

If you don't want to modify them and want my modified Curly spritesheets for Curly Story, you must PM me for those, then swap the original ones with Christmas ones while Seasonal Art is available, leaving the originals stored. (This will also apply for Halloween art)

 

I would love for someone to do a playthrough of this game, just to record all the new content.

For the record, I got bored today and did record it, but I ended up getting some really bad audio desynch about 15 minutes in. I ended up doing a big bulk recording for like, 2 hours. (I played through the entire game, best ending, couple deaths, casual playthrough basically) I might upload the videos, but there's the audio issue. (Also I found out that I wasn't recording the music from the game, only the clicks and clacks of my keyboard and my voice) There's also the fact that I had to split it into 2 parts because my little brother came and interrupted/messed me up about half-way through the game. Anyway...
Stuff that I noticed: (Bug/error/details)

Spoiler

• When Misery and Balrog take Toroko, Toroko's orange vest changes into the original green vest in the bubble
• The addition of about 400 decorations that all do nothing
• The design of the block that you can go through in sandzone is changed for the Christmas theme
• Jenka's puppies look different on screen, (the dogs are reindeer) but in the inventory, they appear as the normal white dog
• Costumes for most characters (Love the wreath around King's neck)
• In the Deserted house where you get Shinobu, there is Christmas lights that light up the map so you can get to Shinobu without memorizing the path, or using the Map System.

There's probably more, but these were some of the things I noticed.
If I do upload my 2 videos, I talk about a bunch of stuff, some of it is not related to CS+

 

I always felt around for the path in the dark room, using the map system never occurred to me.

 

The one room in the game that's designed for it and you don't even use it? God

Spoiler

I did the exact same thing

 

If you jump continuously, the sparks you make when you hit the ceiling will clip differently with solid tiles and passable tiles, that's what I did.
Helps getting curly's panties too.
