It's probably a mistake to bump this cursed thread. I don't actually want anyone to play this. Whoops.
This mod sucks. It was my first mod while I learned how to use an editor and write TSC.
I dislike 70% of it. It has fake difficulty and dumb dialogue throughout.
Only a fraction is redeemable in my eyes.
However, I also don't like it when things just disappear from the internet. I'm a fan of archival.
That's why almost everything I make is hosted on five different websites, for preservation.
Yet as much as I protest, people keep finding this mod (as well as the equally bad Cave No Story)
I don't wish to finish this as it was originally intended, and I never will.
If I were to properly return to the universe of Cavern Tale, it would have to be through a reboot.
The mod would have to be restarted from scratch, quickly derailing from the vanilla formula.
Susan would immediately start taking hostages in Mimiga Village...
The Chef would be written out of his antagonistic role and join your side early on...
...and grill...
...to be honest he would just grill food the whole story.
etcetera etcetera.
This is not that reboot. I feel I do not have the time nor desire.
I feel my efforts would be better towards other projects. Mods that need to be concluded just like this one.
This is the compromise. I will ignore the content and fix up everything around it without adding anything new.
If people are going to play my worst turds, I may as well polish it and put it on a silver platter.
I started this update back in November 2017. I avoided it for almost 3 years. Today it gets released.
Presenting: The Museum Update
- A massive amount of bugs squashed and typos fixed (yet there's probably a ton I missed).
- Quality of life improvements throughout every aspect (yet there are still spikes and enemies dumped everywhere).
- The content itself, level design and dialogue, is 95% untouched. It's the original Cavern Tale from 2013-2014.
- Four unique* endings that are all cheap because the mod randomly stops at Outerwall, but hey, at least it doesn't lie and say "To Be Continued..." anymore!
- A credits sequence I threw together.
- I'm not joking. There is no new content. I'm never finishing the story. Don't play this.
*Two of the endings require completing the Beast Fang quest. It's convoluted but a walkthrough.txt is included. You can see all endings in a single playthrough.
