Story Changed (0.1 demo now available)

Oh hey, I'm finally making a mod! Apparently it's called Mod Story Story Changed.

Originally, this was gonna be my template for modding research but it became more like it can be a full-on mod. So I took the challenge in doing so.

So in Mod Story Story Changed, Quote woke up in Start Point ready for his adventure as usual, but then he found some weird stuff going on and he finds out that the game has been modded. So he thought of going on to kill the person who's modding the game (and I volunteer myself to be that person). But afterwards, he finds out that the mod has been finished before the fight even began. So Quote must proceed through the mod and finish what the person has started.

So I'm trying out this theme that goes in 5 stages that progress throughout the game:

1. Simplistic tile, sprite, and dialouge modding
2. Usage of graphics from other games and some basic event modding
3. Crappy original graphics and crappy music
4. Better original graphics and better music and some custom event modding
5. 4th stage + awesome music arrangements advanced event modding (may the force be with me on this one)

These reflect on how some mods that I played were made.

Welp, I talked too much. Have some screenshots for now. I'm not promising anything, but I plan to release a demo before November ends.

Enjoy!!

Edit (11/26/2013): The mod has now been renamed to Story Changed. It still sounds cheesy but the story DOES change in the beginning from Cave Story to something new.



Edit (01/06/2014): The first demo is now available! Story Changed 0.1 demo

 

isn't there already something called mod story?

 

I think I know of another mod being called that. Mod Story is the current name for my mod right now. I'll think of a different one soon.

 

Most people who give something a temporary title often stick with that temporary title and never venture from it. You'd best come up with one really soon.

Also, where's the link King's lines are...uh... *sighs*

I like the look of that screenshot below the King one, though.

 

Yeah, I should change what King and Toroko were talking in what I put in for their current dialouge from the "other key" to a different topic.

 

In the 3rd screenshoot, the little en enemies remind me of something, I can t say what...

Shy guys from Super Mario?

 

Hey gaiz, the first demo is now available!

Story Changed 0.1 demo

 

I find it strange I've been anticipating this so much, but now that I've played it, I can safely say I really, really like the way this mod is going.
The comedy is well-timed, the new tile sets are really...strange, and the dialogue is pretty cringeworthy, but in a good way.
One thing I noticed was when you speak to king the second time, he says his normal line, and I'm not sure that's supposed to happen.
Either way, looking forward to more.

 

This mod needs some drastic changes, I like the screenshots, however the demo itself is REALLY disappointing.

You're being extremely vague. Can you be specific with what you don't like about it? If not, he's never going to understand what he did wrong (if anything).

 

Stuff I believe what went wrong for the players (yes):


The Spur
It IS intentional to get the weapon, but now that I see it, I should probably save that for later.


"Lack of changes":
The beginning was meant to look like hardly nothing happened, and later on, the game and storyline will look much different than it was perceived early on. In fact, the stuff that was gonna make it different starts off with after Infringement Cave.


Marco
Call me that if you want.


Robot Deathtrap
That was intentional.


Water Closet
That was originally gonna be a debug room, but screw it, now it's the public restroom.


High HP
Again, that was intentional. Try beating Marco with 6 HP, and after you recharge, try beating Infringement Cave with 6-15 HP.


That's pretty much all I can think of.

 

i actually liked this mod, especially the custom music
also... that jumping sound sounds awfully familiar... very...
also i liked the modding studio (and after) parts, clever.
also, whats a Cockney accent?
also, so many alsos its alsoception.

 

also, whats a Cockney accent?

It's that thick accent some British people have.

 

I like what you have so far. It was a little easy, but its still very promising and I look forward to see more of it

 

Production on 0.2 has started so here's a screenshot of a bonus room (similar to those from WTF Story). However, I feel the whole room design should be refurbished. It's actually a bit too brutal (the deathtraps show the explanation pretty good).

Edit (02/16/2014: Forget the WTF Story difficulties. They'll just be like those from SMB3, SMW, or in the NSMB series.
