Community Project: Cave Story 2?

A background.

A tileset (not complete, but I dunno what else to add...). Oh and ignore the palette on the side.

OMFG <3
W00t w00t w00t!
FOR GREAT JUSTICE!

 

Is this alright?

Edit - Anyone wanna improve anything, go ahead.

 

Dunno, if we're going with Pixel's style, I think her face needs to be slightly bigger and less heavily shaded, and her hair a little cleaner looking, with the shading in blocks, if you know what I mean.

Also, neither YouTube nor Google video likes my vid for some reason... so here's a couple screenshots of how the graphics go together and tile.

Screenshot 2
Screenshot 3

I think I might do some facepics...

Could you help me with that? I don't know what you're talking about D:

Holy crap. Those screenshots look awesome.

 

Mostly minor modifications, and reshaded the hair. Left the body unchanged except for in the facing backwards pose.

EDIT: Facepic

EDIT 2: Moar facepics. Use this version, since I tweaked the first one a bit.

 

Hmm, bad news guys, Pixel doesn't permit it
There could be several reasons why he doesn't permit it.
I'm now in fear this project will be scrapped.

Ahhh, I read it again, he maybe misunderstood, if we're lucky.

Awesomeness strikes again.
Could you post the bmp for the facpic?

Anyways I changed the arms a bit and a little bit of the hair at the "look down" pose:

 

There it is in bitmap.

What other characters need facepics?

 

I know it would be nice to get Pixel's permission, but its not technically necessary is it?

Hi there.
The Hack9 game gave me an idea.
Why not make a Community Project?
A fan sequel. I already asked Pixel for permission.
I could do the coding, but I would need some people for the art.

Story elements:

• Playable characters are Sue (Human form and mimiga form), Quote and a third character
• The research team on earth finds out about more islands
• The research team is going to find out more about one of these islands
• Sue is coming with the team in order to ask Misery for making her a human again
• On this island there will be Quote and Curly as well as Balrog
• Sue meets them
• There will be a Mimiga military organisation who fights monsters and robots
• Those are trouble makers
• You will fight Robots of the same kind that invaded the Island 10 years ago
• You will fight Mimigas from the military organisation as well

Sorry but your story needs alot of work (a complete redo to be honest). It is the one thing that I am not looking forward to about this.[/BRUTALHONESTY] I can help you with ideas for the story if you want.

 

let's have adult chie kick some ass

Agreed sort of.

We need to create the "wtf is going on" feeling and that's not likely to happen in this storyline.

There are bits about it I like though, especially the Mimiga Army. That's where we'll find a lot of new characters so I guess we should start with them (as in the first cutscene, etc).

 

Another thing the story needs is originality. I also think the game's story should not be on an island but rather the surface.

Well, I half agree, half disagree.

You see, this is a prequel SEUQUAL!!!, so it can't really be original =/

And I agree with you that it should be on the surface, since Sue managed to return home (me thinks), which is on the surface, not the island (obviously lol).

Edit - Lol it's a sequel not prequel. For some reason, my mind switched gear halfway through writing this post, leading me to talk about how Sue managed to get off the island AFTER Cave Story when in the earlier part of the post i was babbling about how this was a prequel.

Now where is that faulty trigger...

 

this is a prequel

Really? I didn't get that impression from the teenage Sue facesets and the story outline.

It's a sequel >_>;


I'm half and half about the islands idea. Basically what we need is:

1) Concept [CS's was the whole thing about the Floating Island, so we can't call that a concept for CS2]

2) Storyline [A bit of this is already done, obviously]

3) Gameplay [I have no doubts about this part being fun. However, we need to make it absolutely bug-free if we want to live up to Pixel standards]

 

A small idea Small ideas about Gameplay:

-> Make items able to be thrown out (for stuff you don't want anymore lol)
-> Make items... throwable? (Like... if you run outta bullets or something, just use an items and fling it at monsters lol. Make them re-collectable after throw, of course =X)
-> Double jump? o.o (idea from RuneLancer's mod, Original Sin )
-> Dual wield? (Now that'd be awesome. However, it would be kinda hard to sprite lol. And maybe abit overpowered xD)

 

I think Pixel has only a problem with the name.
Cave Story 2 sounds like it's official, so changing the name should be enough.
Let's use a silly temporary name until the story is fleshed out.
How about Cave Legend (Doukutsu Densetsu) or Cavern Story (Gankutsu Monogatari)?

I agree. Maybe you should change the title name SP.Why not make a totally different name?
Cave Legend sounds silly in my opinion. Cavern Story has "Cavern" instead of "Cave" which doesn't has a really different name.
The secret of floating islands?
Mimigas fate.
The Hidden Truth of floating islands?
Mimigas Crisis?
Survivors of Mimigas
Remains of Mimigas
Red flowers time...

 

There will be atleast SOME maps on a floating island imo, otherwise it isn't very Cave Story like :/
Anyway, if you have better story ideas just post them here instead of saying "STORY SUCKS REDO PLZ".
