Cave Story: The Legacy

Cave Story: The Legacy (second version)

Helloes. Some might question my credibility on the grounds that my first post on these forums was of my Cave Story mod.

First of all, I know that there is another legacy mod. This is my take on what happened before the original Cave Story, hopefully cohering to what happened in the original, and it is not meant to be better in any way than the other. I didn't steal the idea, in fact, I was modding before I even saw that thread.

Second of all, I am not quite ready to put it up for everyone to look at, especially considering my only edits are the sprites. As soon as I figure out how to put the helicopter onto the screen I'll be ready to go!

While I have the time, however, I will show a few screenshots of what I have done. Nothing too great, in fact most as of now are just edits of the main sprites. The main character will still be Quote, and it's not going to change.

So, first up, here's my Anti-Aliased Cave Story Legacy Title:

Everything you see here that's not in the original game was hand-drawn by me. Same with all the other pictures you'll see. Also, notice that Quote's face is not bleached! This was before Quote spent 10 years in that dark cave... I prefer to think that Quote looked like any normal human being when he was first created... Somehow I don't like robot-Quote.

Yep. Decision time. Did you know that that save could cost your your life? Not really, but that's a decision you make. To save, or not to save - that is the question.

Yep. I modified the gun to make it look duller. Whenever you start out, you'll have this gun. The description will go something like this: Standard energy gun. You shouldn't need anything better at the moment...

Yes, I took this precisely when Quote turned invisible after being crushed by a falling block. This is supposed to be that place when it's new, but I only edited the tiles, so it looks a bit awkward. Also, I need to put something on the tiles to make them not look so plain...

At any rate, feel free to be contented with this for the moment,

Awesomeness (TM)
Hoping this is one mod that's gonna be completed.

 

Well, I'm 14 years old, so I should have enough time on my hands. If I start lagging spam me

Got it. BTW, you're younger than me, and I don't know a $#!7 about hacking, and I don't think I will before SP completes his FAQ.

 

Heh. Right now, I'm trying to throw together a first-timer script so that I can ask about it in the beginner's thread. BTW I've been up all night doing this. I've been multitasking like crazy. Posting on Sword Forum International, here, checking email, talking with Pixel (trying to at least - he doesn't speak English and I don't speak Japanese! XP), not to mention editing sprites and testing them out. I'm trying to make this look as if it actually could be a prequel and and less as if it was a fan-made prequel, for the sake of half-authenticity. If I'm lucky, I may have something thrown together before the end of the weekend.

Wow, talk about instant service.

 

I find Quote's hair a little odd. Somewhere around the fringe area. I can't see whats wrong with it, but it looks a little odd.

 

I don't really like the way your weapons are modded.... They look plain... =S

Well but its your first try!

And yeah Quote's head is too small and flat with that hairstyle...

Needs an extra bit of fringe on his right, and his head needs to be rounder.

 

Yes, I might say it is a bit odd. I haven't done terribly much pixel art, so it's definitely not professional. Here's the MyChar File with the transparency turned green, if it'll help a bit. Heh. No steals.

Cant see the image. Dunno why.

 

The title: http://www.cavestory.org/forums/threads/455/ :/

Keep up your good work.

 

Actually, by the time I got to posting it, that post was outdated! Is this any better?

I can see the thumbnail, but the image aint viewable. It's got that cross thing on top

 

Erm I suggest you use www.imageshack.us to upload your images. It looks really small and.. why is it against a green background? o.o?

 

I did use ImageShack... It's a thumbnail. And the background is green for better visibility. I posted it so that people could make suggestions.

>S. P.:
Oops. That was stupid of me. Fixing.

<Wazlib:
It shows fine on my computer and seems to on Metalogz' computer. Not sure what the problem is.

I think he meant you didn't need to worry about the title, since Nator's was lacy STORY while yours is CAVE STORY: the legacy

Err... Are you sure you did it right? Next time use the Direct Link... It shouldn't be resized. Also, remove the size indicator too.

It's all about that ':/' at the end of the link...

Fixed.

Hmm... the falling blocks look too... unrealistic. Metallic more like.
