Cave Story: Jenka's Nightmare

hat do you mean "the missile upgrade is supposed to be unobtainable without the booster"?

It's totally easy, and I thought it was intended, but you aren't supposed to do it.

Yeah.. that's what I noticed by getting my save messed up, trying to "fix it".. xD
Well, I'm doing it all over now, only at the Sand Zone so far.
Sigh...

Edit: Alright, now I had finally got as far as I had before, and I thought I'd share some bugs I found.
I'm not sure if these have been discovered, but I'll go ahead anyway.

Spoiler

When you go back to Grasstown, after escaping the Labyrinth, if you gave Dr. Gero Hasumi's Lipstick, you can get another one by sleeping in the bed next to her yet again. I assume you're not meant to get another one. Nothing too serious, compared to the next bug.

Spoiler

After you go through Genesis: Spirit and fight Toroko, you end up in Genesis: Earth. I wanted to discover everything on that map before I went through any doors, so I went ahead and pulled out Balrog from the sand. Afterwards I entered the door above Balrog to the save point and the panel where you get the Focusing Lens, and naturally, I saved.

Then too late, I found out that if you enter the house after Balrog has smashed through the wall, the wall will be repaired, and yet Balrog will be nowhere to be found. As such, I had no way of leaving Genesis: Earth, and my save got ruined.

Now, this wasn't too terrible, since luckily I'm one to learn from my mistakes, so I saved a backup after I got out of the Labyrinth.
But this is clearly just a bug, and should be fixed as soon as possible, since it could easily ruin many saves quite easily.

Edit: I have another question. Will this mod ever be finished? How is it looking currently?
It's a shame if a mod as good as this gets abandoned, though I don't know whether it's being finished or not.

 

This mod hasn't been officially touched for years. I don't think it's going to be officially discontinued, but don't count on seeing a extension for a while.

 

That's a real shame, it was really good so far, and showed a lot of promise for the rest of it too.

I also found a bunch of other bugs, but I guess there's no point in listing them right now, then.

 

If you want to list them, go ahead. Someone might make use of em

 

I think i'm in Jenkas nightmare, where theres a sand zonearea... and theres liek little dogs, treats and teleporters. And everything looks liek a dead end. I dotn get it.

The search for post function is your best friend.

 

Ok so i found the solution in the thread. That puzzle is ridiculous >.>

idea: someone here could maybe fix up the bugs, at least? it wouldnt fix the fact that it's still not likely to be continued, but we could have more fun playing a bugless version, amirite? i would do it myself, but i'm not confident enough in my TSC skills yet.

Yeah, that's a great idea. I would too, but I haven't even touched Cave Story in any way, so I'm probably not the best choice.. xD
I'll remember it though, if I ever learn, which I hope I will!

I did that to sharpen up my TSC skills. It worked :3

 

well then maybe i'll work on that next time i feel like modding

 

I actually passed the Sand Zone puzzle without a guide when I played this

You're not the only one. (:
I thought that was a really clever puzzle, and actually pretty logical. I mean you even get a few hints about it.
"Gaudi eat Mimiga.
Mimiga eat Flowers."
"Ah, but if the Flowers are red, the Gaudi and the Mimiga eat each other!"

Then to the left of Guadi, you get "A good puppy doesn't bark, but merely wags his tail."

It's the "Guadi and Mimiga eat each other" which helps the most, if you just take the time to read the signs and figure out what feeding the puppies does, which isn't too hard. Then it's pretty simple.

I read all of the clues, but i only recognised the part with dogs waggign thier tails as a clue. I thought i needed to treat the dogs after using thier teleporter if they didnt bark... I thought the rest of the "clues" were just philisophical musings of Cthulu. I did eventually start to think it may have significance, but i couldnt think what.

 

Same here Miles. But eventually I had to go on the forums and ask the famous question "wat do".

 

Ok, I have this error...

Sounds like something is wrong with your game files or something.
Have you downloaded the lastest version available?

I got the same problem.

I replaced those files in the mod with the original files, worked perfectly after that.

 

Thankyou Tau. Works A-OK now. I have been playing this game for about 3-4 hours. One question, after you beat Shadoe Barlog, you exit the building... whatever... the ground breaks, you fall... there is a chest on the left side towards the end... can you get that chest? I decided to stop trying to get it just because I was getting impatient.

If anyone if wondering, I'm at...

Spoiler

I need to make my way towards the revoultionary thing, trying to find the critter juice.
