Escape the Room Story DEMO (V.2 just released!)

Played through the mod again to kill another couple minutes of my life.

Spoiler: As of v4...

muh mod notes: mini edition

"connct" should be "connect"

the booster v0.8 still doesn't auto-equip

the slopes i pointed out in my most recent post are STILL broken

fun fact: you can skip talking to Debug Cat entirely, receiving no plot whatsoever

you need a <NOD somewhere in here
this reason still sounds weak, and who is Quote? why is Quote a hero?

that slope is still bad

debug cat's walking animation still looks like he's hopping up and down
just make him walk like Curly already

aaaaand nothing else was changed because this mod was made in a mere 8-10 hours

Really, you need to make longer mods. That way, you won't have to post so many updates in such a short amount of time; there will be more mod to go through between fixes.

 

You brought it up, you asked the question. And I answered it.
Don't ask questions you don't expect me to answer. And I find it unlikely that it was a rhetorical question; although you may have not actually expected me to answer it.

Eh whatever. My mistake. Can we just stop arguing and talk about my mod?

It's hard to talk about something that's a couple minutes long at most.

Thank you. I will fix all the above bugs. But really quickly; Imgur doesn't work on my PC, so I can't see any of your images. The one about the slopes, could you just put it on the forum? Thanks.

EDIT: Debug Cat knows that Quote saved the island because of his time powers.

OK.
How about you make it into "Escape The Rooms Story" rather than "Escape the room story," (sic) and add in multiple rooms?

I may add more rooms in the future (In an hour or so)

How does Imgur not work on your computer? Regardless, here:

Or you could wait longer than an hour and add a lot more content to the mod than one or two more rooms?

I already fixed that slope. Check the newest version. I'm going to START making the new rooms in a few hours after I fix the bugs in these rooms.
EDIT: Actually, there's a screenshot of that slope (fixed) at the start of the thread.

 

in other news, Debug Cat suffered a bad accident with a car today. His face was wrecked, and he became extremely mean.
His hospital also gave him a blue jumper of some sort.

I don't know if you playtested before or not, but make sure to actually playtest it after adding new rooms.

You missed my point. Instead of adding a handful of single-screen rooms, you could spend more time and effort on adding a lot more content. The mod is way too short as it is and a few small rooms won't change that.

EDIT: Actually, there's a screenshot of that slope (fixed) at the start of the thread.

And in the same screenshot the broken slopes in the upper left-hand corner are still broken.

 

I don't know if you playtested before or not, but make sure to actually playtest it after adding new rooms.

I playtested before. A few things just slipped by.

EDIT: V.6 released! Added better slopes, better boss animations, and now you can't skip Debug Cat.

 

Not a big deal but if you're adding content to the game it might be good to remove the (FINISHED) from the thread title

Ahh thank you.

EDIT: Also, Debug's MG is light blue.

 

What the fuck is an MG?

Machine Gun.

 

I just put up a demo. It includes 3 more rooms and a boss fight. Tell me if you see any bugs.

 

Played the seventh update to this.

Spoiler

now featuring tinypic image links because you can't into common websites or programs

even after seven entire versions, you still haven't capitalized this correctly

intro cutscene is still unchanged
it's not even that hard to change

there's a pretty long pause here for no reason in particular

the booster still doesn't auto-equip when you pick it up

semicolons =/= commas

THIS SLOPE IS STILL BROKEN

wow, would you look at that
i can still skip debug cat

semicolons =/= commas II

semicolons =/= commas III

this isn't what i meant by forcing the player to talk to Debug Cat
he should talk to you as soon as you get near him or something
how does the player know that the cat is Debug Cat in this instance?

there needs to be a space between "Huh..." and "You've"

how have you not fixed this terrible facepic already

the sound of a door opening plays when you transition to the arena
there shouldn't be one tbh

this exp capsule didn't drop exp

debug cat STILL has a bad walking animation

he says this even though you said you added more content

this save doesn't need to be here since there's already one below

*restarts the game*

okay
why even make these vanish if saving below can break the game

enough of this shitty meme already

i also like how this is LITERALLY First Cave but with some more walls
you didn't even remove the critters

why give the machine gun 200 bullets
seems a little overkill since the recharge rate hasn't changed

>life capsule gives me 20 health
>over 100% of my current health
i see you haven't heard of balancing either

1. i fell for no reason
2. why did the Booster v0.8 randomly break
3. what the fuck

why did Eyes of Flame suddenly transition to the regular music
what

this looks familiar tbqhwu fam

ok nevermind, it was simply similar to Iron Bird Story's Booster v0.8
i was getting flashbacks of Superjaws for a second

what
how are we suddenly in Sand Zone

"have't" should be "haven't"

and suddenly Misery with a ton of random shit in the way
because why the fuck not

oh, bullets go through the platforms
okay

there are several things wrong with the machine gun
firstly, its level 3 shots do 20 damage PER BULLET, which is entirely too much damage
secondly, the game only allows 6 shots on the screen, which feels very unnatural given how the machine gun is supposed to be a bullet hose
thirdly, why are the bullets allowed to go through solid tiles like the snake

the bloody eyes especially don't fit in here because you didn't even fight him

new text started appearing BEFORE the facepic changed to the maximum edge one

which is still a shitty reason to do this

what the fuck are you trying to do here
there also needs to be a space between the "!" and "WHAT"

can you stop using the death sound for everything
it doesn't fit well with what's going on

and i'm somehow even more disappointed

it feels like you didn't even finish this room before uploading the update
talk about lazy

Hermit Gunsmith's house =/= Assembly Hall

Are you even trying? You say you added three more rooms, but in reality you only allowed the player to progress deeper into an unmodified First Cave, lose the Booster v0.8 in a gutted version of Hermit Gunsmith's home, and then fight Misery with an overpowered Machine Gun. There were no attempts at "puzzles" like Start Point; you literally just walk to the boss and fight it.

This was the rough draft. Thanks for telling me all the bugs. I'll fix every bit of that. Thanks!

 

You should really avoid spamming new mods out this quickly... finish one project before starting another.

Spoiler: Spoilers 2: Electric Boogaloo

My thoughts on this mod:

1. Generic title screen and intro sequence, again.
2. I'm pretty sure that debug cat is all but copyrighted by PolarStarGames at this point...
3. The cake is a lie.
4. The artwork that IS original is pretty good...
5. The puzzles are rather clever, I think...
6. The cat, it's alive. I should have been able to threaten Debug Cat into being sacrificed though...
7. Alright, the Debug Cat fight is a little ridiculously annoying with how low the Green Devils are. Not only that, but leveling up the Polar Star is nigh impossible, and fighting Debug Cat on that health with so little damage is really hard.
8. You really like depicting gruesome, bloody CS characters don't you?

This mod has much more potential than the last one... keep it up.
