I like you already.Hacking, Modding, and Homebrew.
@Tpcool : Thank you for the kind welcome, Tpcool! I'd be interested in learning the scripting, especially if anyone was okay with tutoring me at some point--I've done some very, very minor scripting in RPG Maker and such before, but I never really made an actual game for differing reasons. <w<; But soon as I get the hang of the style, I'd love to share what I make, even the things that aren't CS styled! Since it's still a WiP, would anyone be willing to see a sample here, or should I PM it instead? I don't want to clog up the thread, since others need to say hi, and such. >w<
Ooooh, I've seen several people recommend Booster's Lab, so I'll definitely have to look into it when I get the time--thank you very much, Kenzo, I'll be sure to keep your guide in mind, and read it when I go to try modding for practice! owoIf your serious about moding, then I would reccomend you try Booster's Lab. It's an editor for Cave Story.
And if you need help learning how to mod with Booster's Lab, then I would reccomend you read my guide on it.
Booster's Lab can work with Cave Story+, but my guide was made for the freeware version. So there may be some differences with the TSC scripting.

Now, I have a bit of a silly question, but is there someone willing to teach me how to sprite in the teenier style of the original Cave Story? I remember attempting it a few years ago, but it was too small for me to wrap my head around, since I'm used to working with a slightly larger size. >w<; I think downgrading the birthday gift I made for my brother would be a good start, since it's my first HD Cave Story sprite so far.
Oh yeeaaaaah, you're right--if I don't know what I'm doing, pieces are going to be missing, or even possibly in the boundary of another sprite's place, leaving random bits floating around. owo; I'll be sure to study up on that with your guide before I start with the custom sprites, but it'll be safe enough if I stick to the size of a player sprite, like Quote or Curly, right? ...I guess I better study up on both the boundaries through your guide, and the original, small sprite style. <w<;I'm pretty sure I go over sprites a little bit in my guide(specifically the player character sprites).
you should get a good idea of how the animations work before you start making custom sprites.
Just remember that every sprite is in a box shape.
If you have any more questions concerning basic moding, feel free to pm me.
