Hey everyone happy Christmas Eve we're aware of what's happened with the source code so to keep this simple absolutely don't post it on the site or use it to make mods with (it's not particularly preferable toward this end anyway) and tread lightly in general until we see how this settles, thanks to all and have a great holiday season -DT

Three lucky individuals on the list have been chosen to play the early dose test! Congratulations to Cripplechair, Sexplosive, and Lace!
The "early dose test" contains content that will not be used in the actual testing segment. Which means, the single map that you interact in within the test will not exist. Dialog is also exclusive to this only test.

Ohyes, I'm stoked. Testing this baby out immediately!
Edit: All right, I've played the early dose. This map and its dialogue might not be used, but I very much like the buildup and progression shown. The aesthetics are awesome; between the music and the map, you've definitely built up a strong 'etheral realm' feel, and constantly referring to "Me" is a nice touch with the dialogue. As for dialogue, I like the overall cryptic feel to it, however sometimes a snippet here and there feels like filler. All in all, you've done a good job of establishing a foundation for the player so they know what they're getting into. Keep at it like this for the actual first map and you'll do fine. Good work!

Well I was looking forward to this mod, but I'm definatley gonna have to wait. I've seen this pattern of work before and it does not end well...

Nobody should be making stupid assumptions that the development wouldn't end well because of some pattern. I'm not really handling the mod myself anyways, it's all on grave to say that he wants to work on it or not. He's still really wanting to work on it, but his life has been really busy. We are perfectly fine with it, it's just that we want to enjoy our lives other than being dependent on one single thing. We're making this just to have fun and to be co-operative!

I speak from experience. But if all it is is a delay on one persons side then it's fine. I thought you were going through that pattern where you just don't touch it until you REALLY feel like it.

Your modding skills are quite astonishing. Very few people here manage to pull of the atmosphere in their mods like you can, yet your attitude is similar to most young people living in the 21st century. Yes, I'm talking about the Stop pressuring me I'll do it, tomorrow. attitude. I can only hope this mod will be different and you won't come up with some banal excuse on why you stopped making it. Just be careful - ideas are more easily generated than commitment.

Great to see the modding seen is as buzzing as ever! Even better to more people really pushing what can be done in Cave Story...Or perhaps even what a videogame is. But yeah, sounds pretty cool. The mod of mine is to do with dreams, and it really isnt easy visualising soemthing as insubstantial as someones psyche...

Similarly to Cultr1, I'm willing to wait. In my opinion, the slower development is the more ideas the developer can come up with, alongside thinking about things they could change in the work they have already created.

You prove a good point. The main reason why I even stopped and cancelled my earlier mods was pressure, mostly with a wide audience. I felt like I was doing labor as opposed to making something and having fun with it. Besides, with longer waits and holds for development, more ideas can be available for me and grave.
I just have a vibe that some of the people here are impatient, and they just don't respect others for what they do and how they handle their own hobbies and activities.
Again, I'm not handling this project. Grave is.
