That's good to hear. My guess is that half of the time spent for the recovery is instaling the games all over again . In a few days Kim will be back and the forums will be active again. :3

YAAAAAAY

To be honest I wish the things from Beta Cave Story are in Cave Story 2; the TV Tropes page for Cave Story says that Pixel has confirmed that a sequel is very likely.
That's just wishful thinking, etc. though ^^;

... you do realize there's more than one Cave Story 2, right?

WHAT
Nineteen hours is a lot; you must've been rather tired.
You didn't skip out on a few evenings of sleep, have you?
Sleep is important.

I might've...

Maybe that's why Snorlax sleeps a lot?

It took him years to finally stand up, I hear.

She could, but she's too hardheaded. I did say that she can borrow my computer, but she refused, saying that she would prefer to use her own computer, rather than borrow one. My stepcousin (who helped determine why the computer broke down) said she would try to repair it, though I have no idea how long it would take. Worse, Kim said that even if she could get it repaired, she would not have the money for it.
The best bet would be to get a new hard drive and get a professional to recover all of the data, which would cost a lot of money.
(I might have to ask my sister Lily to help with that; her habit of saving money is a bit extreme but if it saves Kim from having to pay rent like usual instead of "paying" rent by working on Lunar Shadow... then I suppose it will not hurt to ask. Yes, Kim lives with myself and my sisters and stepsisters, as well as the aforementioned stepcousin and also another friend. It is rather complicated, is it not?)

Had I chosen to borrow a computer, I might've started getting impatient.
Patience is something that's always important, after all, hence why I chose not to borrow a computer.

Either way, I have you and your sister Lily to thank for the payment of the repairs; I really owe you two a lot.

The evening she uploaded the Pre-Alpha Kim did say her computer was making weird sounds; aside from the Pre-Alpha Release of version 4, she has made a back-up that included each and every note, map, etc. that she would need.

I suppose she did not want us to be bored while we wait or something?

At least we can work on bug-hunting the Pre-Alpha, no matter how many bugs there are. It should help with when she can finally work on the mod, that she can immediately take out the bugs and do what she can to finish this great mod.

You got that right, Dia
Can't just leave without a little gift of pre-alpha testing, even if it's totally made of bugs and whatnot.
Better than nothing, I suppose, but it should suffice as I can tell there exists a list of things to fix. ^^
I also owe the pre-alpha testers a lot

In case there's any new posts at the Cave Story forums' thread (assuming there is one; I can't access those forums), someone might have to answer on her behalf where possible.

* glomps *

That aside, there wasn't a lot of new posts there (at least, in terms of notifications; only 16 of those while I thought there'd be 64).

That's good to hear. My guess is that half of the time spent for the recovery is instaling the games all over again . In a few days Kim will be back and the forums will be active again. :3

Yeah, most of the games are back
And I'm back, yeah, though not for long (I do have LS to work on, after all ) unless I feel lazy and want to take a day off from modding.

Indeed.
Kinda wondering, though, what Kim was up to between 18 March and when she will return, though.
Plan out the future Lunar Shadow mods (X and Zero), perhaps?
Planning the Confusion Zone area?

All we can do is wait~

Planning two more mods on Newerth, actually; though, I'll make those only if there are loose ends left to tie up.
Lunar Shadow was planned as a trilogy, and any more might make things about as confusing as Kingdom Hearts' plot.

I prefer "Princess" in all honesty. ;P

I prefer "Princess" in all honesty. ;P

Does that make Shane "Prince", then?


Anyway, kinda sad that Alexis (LS) has no portraits ("face pics"), but that's hard to sprite, so it's understandable.

... who knows.

Though Arcanum or Valkyrie Wings being needed, would be interesting.

It got out of development hell. Yes. Way to go, Kim. 

That'll work.
Here's some of the progress I've made.
The titles are mostly random, and if it turns out that Cave Story can't handle the long titles, I'll shorten them. (I think 25 characters would work, but I'm not too sure here.)

Myst: Entry to Demise
- Entered from Reservoir SP after beating certain bosses in the Top Floor
- Has a puzzle - two corridors with six doors each. To continue, one must find the right door; the wrong door leads to the previous area. (Planned; not yet definite.)

Myst: Blood Garden
- Entered from Myst: Entry to Demise
- Fairly straight-forward, just run around, jumping, killing enemies, avoiding death traps, reach the final door. (Enemies still undecided.)

Myst: Demise of Nexash
- Entered from Myst: Blood Garden
- No idea what this place will be like

Myst: Desire of Demise
- Entered from Myst: Demise of Nexash
- No idea what this place will be like

Myst: Demise of the Maiden
- Entered from Myst: Desire of Demise
- Has a boss fight
- Other than that, no idea what the place will be like



Progress is, as always, slow - I'm procrastinating a lot, to be honest.
More playing video games than working on Lunar Shadow, but whatever.
I've yet to think of a fitting theme for the Myst area, but... who knows?

I want to see Toroko+ as second form. I think it will work ok.
