Title: Lunar Shadow (version 4a)
Post by: RKS on 28 January 2015, 11:32:36
This is my first official Cave Story mod, known as Lunar Shadow.
You could say it's inspired by the Castlevania games; it's also inspired by one of the mods my ex-boyfriend had made in 2012, Shadow of the Stars (hence, why this mod's name is Lunar Shadow).
This mod is a tribute to him. Sure, there are a lot of people who hate him (including myself), but still... may he rest in peace.

SCREENSHOTS:
I'll eventually put up some screenshots of the most recent version, so please be patient until then. :)

VERSION HISTORY:

DOWNLOADS:
Please note that saves may not be compatible with each other for various reasons, due to new flags being added and various other stuff that might lead to a game breaker.
If you want to put up a mirror link, ask me first, and if it's done, post the link in this thread so that the forum staff and I can put it up in the first post. :)

A stealth update in this post, huh?
Title: Re: Lunar Shadow (version 3a)
Post by: RKS on 21 February 2015, 00:07:16
Yep.

Can somebody please help with taking screenshots for each and every Life Capsule's location?
(I'd do it, but my keyboard's Print Screen key stopped working now...)

It's for this thread (http://lunarshadowcs.createaforum.com/lunar-shadow/life-capsules-%28definite-spoilers%29/).

I'm on it. You will have them soon. Hopefully. :D


EDIT: I uploaded them.
Title: Re: Lunar Shadow (version 3a)
Post by: Sonja on 22 February 2015, 01:36:15
May as help out where I can, considering everything in the Life Capsules thread is listed as "To do". :)


... why do I get the feeling I miscounted somewhere along the way?
The amount of Life Capsules are most likely correct, as there are sixteen 8×8 squares on that map you posted, Kim.
But if maximum HP is 60, then there's a problem - the above totals to sixty-one rather than sixty.

I'm sleepy though (I hate being forced to go to formal events) so I guess I'll recheck everything tomorrow/later today (which depends on your time zones, really).

Serena I think the mistake is in Laboratory V. I think it must be +4 HP. Though I'm not that sure I only inspected the photos I uploaded. :D

Don't read it.  ;D

I checked it and I'm 100% sure. Reservior I gives you 3 Hp, not 4.
You're welcome. :)

Thank you both! :))

I'll get to work on that post later (as I'm currently busy going through the mod to locate and fix bugs as well as a few updates).

Shoot, yes. :-[

The minute my mind's clear again, I will update that, unless I'm beaten to it by Dia (seeing as she can edit posts there as well).

Actually, 3-HP mode is indeed canon. It's no joke at all.
In canon, Serenity is unable to see or even touch Life Capsules.
Life Capsules are things that only a select few can see and feel.
Eron Armweak is one of them. So is Shinica and also Micren.
And one of the castle maids that have yet to be added.
Basically, all of the other NPCs currently introduced are unable to see Life Capsules.

I might add a legend on these Life Capsules later on; I dunno. Bookshelves are useful, by the way. More of them are needed.

Thread is now on page 2.

That could work.

… couldn't it?
Title: Re: Lunar Shadow (version 4a)

Probably gonna have to be a free one that isn't Wikia, then.
Title: Re: Lunar Shadow (version 4a)
Post by: Xylia on 30 December 2015, 17:30:58
I have made a Metroid(vania)-styled map of the areas (having used Booster's Lab - hope you don't mind), and there is a bit of an issue regarding Servant Quarters and Top Floor.

Based on that map, Top Floor SQ should go to Servant Quarters DI (Valkyrie X's room), while Servant Quarters TF should go to Top Floor I (with the rocket).

Was that intended?
Title: Re: Lunar Shadow (version 4a)
Post by: Dianke on 01 January 2016, 22:16:21
I believe not; Kim is likely to fix that (along with the "Reservoir SP" door that should go to Myst Zone going to the Servant Quarters instead).

Though, why would Wikia not work, Caitlin? :o

Uh, no.
I'll change it to fit, thanks for noticing!

… that door again? Why can't it learn that RESISTANCE IS FUTILE? :-/

I'll get to fix that as soon as I can.

Oups.
Truth is I just don't feel like playing video games that much. :(

What about a wiki?

I was actually planning on making a wiki for SS when I eventually finish SS2. Maybe we could make one wiki for both of them?
Title: Re: Lunar Shadow (version 4a)
Post by: Alexis on 09 January 2016, 12:55:08
'Tis a brilliant idea!
We can name it "Lunar Shadow Universe Wiki" or something like that.
Title: Re: Lunar Shadow (version 4a)
Post by: RKS on 20 January 2016, 00:46:09
That could work.

Anyway, a guide is in the works! :)

I'll get to work on creating it as soon as possible.

Well, I guess this is it (http://www.editthis.info/lunar_shadow_project_wiki/Main_Page)

Only logged-in users can edit pages, though. (Should help with spambot defense, even if slightly.)

I'm gonna need to work on a logo; that ought to be 135×135 pixels.
Plus the main page is totally going to need some work; any ideas?

A post made by Malice at Vresun mentioned this mod, so it led to me planning to play it. Should be interesting, yes?

Kim, you will be happy to know that Lunar Shadow works on a Mac :)

(ignore my awesomesauce wallpaper that I heavily photoshopped)

I haven't played Cave Story in forever, so I'm going to fail a lot more often. But hey, now you know it works on a Mac perfectly fine! (and it's so smooth ermahgerd)

Post by: Karina on 13 November 2016, 22:14:27
What were all the plans for version 5a?
Title: Re: Lunar Shadow (version 4a)
Post by: Dianke on 14 November 2016, 00:25:18
Nemesis and Invidia as final bosses, bug fixes, and completion of the Confusion Zones. Those were the primary plans. Adding another outfit room (Tower SP) was planned, as well.

More outfits were not planned, since that might break Myst: Blood Garden due to the amount of characters (the map's script already has 18000 characters, far more than the game is said to be able to handle in a map).

Personally, this is one of my top 5 favorite Cave Story modifications. The full list is as follows:

1: Jenka's Nightmare
2: Lunar Shadow
3: Schism
4: Wrath of Revorshkenahl
5: King's Story / WTF Story (tied)

Keep up the good work on this and all your future projects, Kim.

The world needs more Lunar Shadow and I would love to see the finished Confusion Zone and its boss(es), if there are any.

Considering how "knowledgeable" you appear to be on this mod, it's amazing that I haven't seen you contribute to the Lunar Shadow Project Wiki.

Post by: Charlie on 20 December 2019, 21:55:25
Sorry, but no thanks.

I refuse to go into gory details but bad experiences with one wiki was enough.



Ilina may be my favorite character, but second is Valerie, third is the Life Capsule girl at the Entrance and fourth is that one-armed man. Serenity and Shinica, tied for fifth.

I have not beaten the canon mode, either.

Have you played Witching Hour? I really enjoyed that one.


I also like Nothing Story because it's so dumb :3

Out of those five, I've only played LS and King's Story.

3HP mode is tough, yeah. I couldn't beat the final boss on 3HP mode, but I did manage to beat the game using the dark armour so I didn't have to fight him :3

And which wiki would that be? It shouldn't stop you, considering you're such an uberfan. Besides, if you're really as knowledgeable as you claim to be, then I fail to see why you can't contribute to the wiki.

Like I said, I refuse to go into gory details.
What little I know about LS was simply through exploration and playing normally.
There seems to be a lot of secrets, like Tower TF. How do you get to that secluded area at the top-right?

The Witching Hour is my sixth favorite mod.
Seventh, Cave Story Redesign.
Eighth, The Show.
Ninth, a mod named Eternal Chaos, with the anime-esque faces. I believe the creator of Jenka's Nightmare made it?
The newer Haunted House Story is tenth.

OK, Bloom. I suppose I'll play along considering Cave Story is IllinaFan01's only character trait.

Though Cibryll knew that already...
