King: Strife and Sacrifice (AKA King's Story)

this is great, probably one of my favorate mods on csf

 

This game is great! But...

 

This is probably one of the best mods on this site, (Maybe THE BEST.)
The boss fights are difficult, the story is amazing, and the custom sprites are amazingly realistic!

 

Sorry about the bump, but this thread doesn't seem dead quite yet, being only around three-ish months old, so I thought I might as well ask a question on here versus making a new thread to do the same.
The past couple days I've been lurking about, accountless, looking for some good Cave Story mods to play, and one of the first promising ones that I found was this one. I played the demo around an hour ago and man, the feels were strong, even for a slightly emotionally-dulled person such as myself (thanks to things like horror games). The sudden end of the demo around where you use the teleporter in the crystal cavern kind of caught me off guard, though. I decided to dig a little bit into the King's Story blog to see if there were any posts on it, and I noticed on the version being offered on there that Noxid decided to put it on hold in favor of his CSengine project.
While it says on the "Quickie Guide to the Mods Section" thread that this is still in progress, I just wanted to ease my mind with a more definitive answer. Once there is some more spare time, will more effort be put into this mod?

 

Seeing as Noxid is more than occupied with Booster's Lab and his weird cat game, I strongly doubt that he will come back to this mod any time soon. I wouldn't be too hopeful.

 

Well, I know that the mix of him being occupied with side projects and his apparent history of not mixing well with the term "soon" means that it won't be worked on in the near future. I just wanted to know whether or not that this would turn into another "Schemo," like Schism. (that is, unless Xaser is just taking a VERY long hiatus from modding)

 

Very rarely will any large ambitious project be finished here.

It's pretty much all canceled unless the creator is able to plan out their mod to a specific number of maps, and sticks to it without coming up with new ideas and extending everything until they get bored.

It's a miserable process.

 

Actually last time I saw Xaser (which I admit was like a year and a half ago, but still much more recently than most people) he was still working on Schism, so don't lose hope for that one. As for this one, our buddy Noxid decided it was a good idea to make a whole new engine for his mod. Then he decided to make a whole new editor for that engine. So it might be a while before we get an update on this one.

 

Well hey, as long as it's not totally dead yet, I'm fine with it. Besides, a new engine is bound to benefit the mod.
Also, it's nice to hear that Schism isn't dead yet either. I thought for sure that it was when I saw that there wasn't an update on its thread in over a year. I kind of understand why it'd take so long for these mods in particular, though. Something so detailed and ambitious, as Enlightened put it, is bound to take a while to COMPLETELY finish.

He posted here just last month asking about the ORG Winamp plugin.

 

You even left a comment on his profile that day, Dunc. o:

 

I have a bad memory

 

Sorry for bumping. I have a question, I find an item named Bukkit in Akahana's House. What is this item do? How to use it?

 

You can trade it for more health by talking to a certain mimiga

 

Wait so did you finish the mod? I haven't played this mod in years and if you even try to tell me to read all these 62 pages I will eat your arm.

 

nah

I'm doing more important shit rn but I do want to revisit it someday

Looking back through that, I thought to myself, "Holy shit, was I really that much of a dumbass?"
The answer: Yes.
