Too... boring, I'd say. Would lose points on the rating, probably. What rating, who knows?

Anyway, not much progress, but the Top Floor (post-final boss) has been expanded greatly (and by that, I mean the music room is now larger and a veritable room of oddness and there's one new room as well), so it's no longer just a music room.

There'll probably be items there, dunno what just yet though. I suppose having items appear based on what you obtained would work? (So, like if you skipped Misery's End it teleports to Top Floor MR or something.)

Or perhaps a new weapon. Not sure what just yet, but why would a new weapon be obtainable in the very last portion of the mod? Sounds fishy to me, but then again, Shane's a Pisces.

Well that's good to hear. Music room will be finally something more than a lamer version of ORG view. With items non-the-less (I'm expecting cake)
By new weapon I guess You're talking about modified Spur and if Nemesis will be Heavy Press, then the only thing needed is a sword. (Thinking about i just remembered that you won't have Nemesis Curly with you.)

The cake will be a lie regarding being found in the music room; I intend on having it in the Top Floor though (maybe where Valerie is).

Moonblast (I think that's the new Spur) will also be obtained before then, going by my notes.

So... who knows? Maybe it'll be a treasure trove of silly magical items like a Whimsical Star or several Life Capsules or items that increase max mana for Acidic Bubble or max ammo for Arcanum.

More ammo will be definetly good for both weapons.

Um. I still don't eat fish.

Yeah, Cave Story music tends to not play while Cave Story itself is open and the inactive window.
I tend to listen to music with either an ORG View program or OrgMaker when I browse the Internet.
(If I'm not listening to other file types like ".mp3" or ".ogg" files.)

Kim, what about the weapons Dia thought up? (One of those 45 she posted at the Vresun fora.)

RKS · « **Reply #170 on:** 05 May 2015, 11:19:07 »

SHANE

THOSE
ARE

...

... actually, I'll have to think about it though those require ASM hacking. (I wish I was a technopath; that way I'd be able to, like, ASM every single weapon using, well, technopathy.

)

RKS · « **Reply #171 on:** 08 May 2015, 10:07:48 »

So...

Should the "boss progress checker" thing be at Top Floor SQ, or in Top Floor where the Witches are battled (thus giving them even more dialogue)?

Darth Shane · « **Reply #172 on:** 08 May 2015, 20:07:26 »

Um.

Wouldn't that depend?

Dianke · « **Reply #173 on:** 22 May 2015, 21:10:37 »

I would prefer the Top Floor room before the witches.

Progress report: none on Kim's end yet, she's still wondering about where the "defeated boss check" thing would be.
That, or waiting for something else. Has she more ORG requests we are unaware of?

On my end... I am busy with a tileset; maybe Kim might use it for a Myst area? Such a thing would be awesome.
If not, it could always be used in a future mod of hers.

It is a tileset similar to those of the Entrance and Top Floor areas. It is mostly recolored to red and black. Progress is not finished; when it is, I shall post it as soon as I can.

EDIT:
ξ [ Xi ]
μ [ Mu ]
ε [ Epsilon ]
δ [ Delta ]
Ω [ Omega ]
ι [ Iota ]
α [ Alpha ]
β [ Beta ]
γ [ Gamma ]
ζ [ Zeta ]
η [ Eta ]
Θ [ Theta ]
κ [ Kappa ]
λ [ Lamda ]
ν [ Nu ]
Ο [ Omicron ]
π [ Pi ]
ρ [ Rho ]
Σ [ Sigma ]
τ [ Tau ]
Υ [ Upsilon ]
φ [ Phi ]
χ [ Chi ]
Ψ [ Psi ]

Those are the Greek letters in Myst: Entry to Demise, apparently...

alfasketer · « **Reply #175 on:** 29 May 2015, 16:32:15 »

Well, its good to hear that there's progress. However I wanted to ask if there is something that I can help with.

Dianke · « **Reply #176 on:** 30 May 2015, 01:10:45 »

There is progress on Kim's end; I am posting this information for her. (She is having issues with accessing the forums, at the moment.)

Quote from: Kim

Regarding the Myst Zone:
The maps are now connected. I repeat, the maps are now connected. At the moment it's possible to travel between them. The next Alpha release will likely be Myst Zone-related.
I renamed the area to "Myst Zone" - I've played Sonic the Hedgehog for too long. However, the map names are unchanged.
"Myst - Blood Garden" now had a dressing room as well. So you can change your outfits in the Myst Zone too. I may regret that, though; if I update with a new outfit (whatever outfit it may be since there's still one unused "slot") I'll have to update the other two maps as well. Not to mention the "errors" I get on saving those maps' scripts.
"Myst - Entry to Demise" now has doors. And NPCs. And a boss. But you can't fight it without saving in that area and reloading immediately. The NPCs walk around - this is intentional. They don't care about Serenity being there, they're just rude. Three of those NPCs work for the Castle Master, against their will. And hate their uniforms, probably. Now, the doors... the puzzle answer is visible from the signposts. Just need to figure it out, but when the Alpha Release comes, I might decide to tell you guys. Or decide that you guys ought to figure it out yourselves. The Greek Letter "Mu" is a shortcut, but only if you've already passed that area through the Omega Door.
"Myst - Demise of the Maiden" will have a tileset change; I hear Dia's working on a tileset and I believe it might work for that area. The boss there still can be killed without a boss fight, but there's a literally inescapable pit at the moment. To fix. Yes.
"Myst - Desire of Demise" is finished, tile-wise.
Regarding the rest of the Lunar Soul Castle:
Minor updates here and there. Also removed Igor. Rest in peace, Igor, you've earned your rest. I cry silently...
Two songs have been added, one of which will be used in the Myst Zone as the area theme (thus far). Gilgamesh's battle theme in Final Fantasy 5? Listen to it. Then, tell me your thoughts on whether or not you'd listen to it endlessly.

The Greek Letter Mu would be μ ... so Ω and μ are both exit doors?

Kim, please add screenshots when you can ;-;

alfasketer · « **Reply #177 on:** 30 May 2015, 08:32:48 »

Om my god, this is complex. I have no idea how you'll pull that off. I guess we can only wait and see.

RKS · « **Reply #178 on:** 30 May 2015, 17:08:49 »

Can finally access these fora

So, yeah. The Myst Door Labyrinth.
There are hints in the first Myst Zone area.

The other Myst Zone areas are updated a bit as well; there are loads of spikes and magma in the fourth area, hidden walls in the third, and... well, you know how Entrance I had nothing, previously? Well, most of it is now with force-fields. Why? It leads to the fifth Myst Zone area (and vice versa). And you need the Valkyrie Wings to be able to travel most of the Myst Zone anyway...

Right now, I'm busy with Sycor's 2^nd battle - it has minions, though, and if you sequence break somehow, you can only reach Sycor 2 if you beat Sycor in the Laboratory.

Now... how will Sycor with minions be like? Tough, I suppose.

alfasketer · « **Reply #179 on:** 30 May 2015, 17:55:36 »

Sycor's minions. I guess you mean Sue and Misery. I hope at least at the end of the game to be a little buffed so they can stand a challenge.
And Myst sound interesting. I hope I will not get lost.

-=Damn it, it's hard to say something good without reusing -_-. Oh, well=-

Should Myst Zone bosses have the battle theme be chosen by the player?
