I'll try to bring it up again. It may be a relic of a bygone indie RPGmaker era xD But it had a spark...
Which reminds me I still need to get Moon RPG which was recommended to me by Mint... a while ago... That looks like a prime example of mixing 2D and 3D? (A game that influenced Undertale apparently.)

Oh and yes, I can vouch for that learn japanese game x) It's silly but, probably one of the better story based (if not the best language games I've tried.) Way... more comical, but a similar style of writing as the... Way. (And helped beta test a bit!)

Moon mentioned, sorry for the wall of text.

About the whole 2d+3d thing, Moon shows that it used to be a PS1 game because it used prerendered backgrounds just like Square's games (ie Saga Frontier or Final Fantasy, worth noting that a lot of the devs were ex-Square employees and a bunch worked on SMRPG).
A number of characters (the monsters you have to help and some other characters) are a bit more unique in that they use claymation instead of just CGs and sprites, which defenitely did give a 3D effect back then.

The Undertale influence mainly comes from the "RPG deconstruction" angle.
The plot centers on a hero that sets out to defeat a dragon that stole the moon and does so in typical JRPG fashion by going around massacring monsters for EXP (which is highlighted as a negative thing).

The game itself is more akin to a walking simulator where you're just walking around doing quests and saving monsters' souls to raise your 'Love Level' (which increases your stamina, wander too much without sleeping or eating and you faint and game over). Essentially youre given more of a NPC perspective than one of the rpg hero.

It's a little on the vague side (Being a product of it's time, you'll really want to read a manual) but it's an interesting experience if you like walking sim-esque games with a bit more purpose.


Perhaps worth mentioning that some of the people involved are now working on a new game in what looks to be a similiar vibe (rpg deconstruction aside) to Moon. (Of which the director said it would be his last game before retiring)

OHHHH SHIT ok that's pretty fucking awesome.
I'll 100% be checking out the way once I've settled into my apartment, I haven't sat down and played through a game in a while ngl

Don't mention me in political threads, I have other things to focus on. Thanks

honestly the "global politics" thread, while not actually about politics, is kinda just aimless in my eyes
Both the May 15, 2010 and November 13, 2010 Soaprun servers are still up and seems to be still running around the clock. No initialization so far at the time of writing this status, the NPCs are still may be somewhere else because of Soaprunner interaction, and all shade tile drawings still intact. Here's a video showing the most drawing rooms. (Fact: May 15, 2010 map has the most drawing rooms than November 13, 2010 map)

SoaprunDrawings5152010map-1.mp4 Recorded with Roxio MultiCam Capture.

More Soaprun servers with different maps are going to pop up soon because alula reached out to Pixel and got the source code of Soaprun and it's server cgi, now it's on the Soaprun page in the Tribute Site. alula shared even 2 more maps. The new servers with different maps will be available when it's done.

May 30, 2010 and June 19, 2010 are both better than May 15, 2010 because they both have modifications and have more Chase Demons.
oof.

Came back from the dead I guess.

I don't feel like getting into ALL of the details, but this is the basics of what happened:

In short, I was being transphobic and immature without realizing it, exiled myself from the Cave Story community for a bit, reflected on it since then, and came back to apologize.

kurosurintomasu
ah.

honestly, being forgiven of your words isn't easy, but realizing that what you did was wrong and truly apologizing is the first step towards forgiveness

I guess so.. It's been sitting on my mind for a while. I didn't know how to address the issue, so I left it alone until I got into a better mental space.
I have some history to share during my playing of the earlier versions of Soaprun back in 2010. I constructed big PNGs of the whole maps of the earlier days. And each time there are some modifications in the updates, I only pasted small room modifications into the PNG.

May 15, 2010 (From 0.432? Some prior versions before that... Shared in 0.030 mod)
November 12, 2010 (From 0.432)
November 13, 2010 (From 0.432, Shared in 0.030 mod, most recent)

I also want to share the version 0.010 as well that is still lying around. I'm sure that the contents in the data folder are the same as the one from 0.020. This is the absolute single-room prototype and the Soaprunner can only move once per key press.

Lastly, my hilarious act involving lag, someone with the Shield of Storms and the Chase Demon going over the Safe Zone and purposely dying to flood the spawn point with corpses!

These are awesome! I'm a bit busy making code updates right now, but once I'm done that I plan to add more servers for each known map variation, so these are exactly what I needed/was hoping someone had.

Is it one of those $300 ones?

Not sure.
It was of the brand "Gateway", and it had the godawful Windows 10 OS (not to mention it frequently demanded that I upgrade to the much worse Windows 11), a touchscreen that I rarely used, a trackpad that frequently stopped working, barely any storage space, and a one year free trial of Microsoft 365 that I almost never used.
If it is indeed $300, it is NOT WORTH THE MONEY.
I deeply regret some things I did, one of them was this new Banner on my profile, or having promised that I would be more active on this site one day in my life.
and be born
