New Level done: The Doors

    Hello guys, doing fancy today how about you?
    Mind I say you look extra good anyway, no matter how bad you do.

Anyhow, new update, a new level by one of my pals, Espeon78, go check the few things he made in Cave Story like uh, that one Blargo sequel I guess.

The doors.

    Yeah get it because um, there's doors?

The whole level principle is that those doors teleports you to another door of the level for all of them and you have to activate the two switches that are located around the level, apart of some polishing, this level looks pretty cool, it's a little maze that isn't jarring to go through.
There's some few level design twitches to do like making so those moving blocks don't overlap each other.
Other then that, the level is fine and dandy.
 
Well that's what I have in store for today, I decided to take a little break when I have to wait for someone's contribution on the project and when I come back, I'm just so full of ideas.
I will consider posting some public demos in the future once Chapter 2 is entirely finished and polished, I could put Chapter 3 in it too even if I'm pretty sure I won't, Chapter 3 still has a lot more to do and I doubt that when Chapter 2 will be finished, Chapter 3 will be fine and dandy to play.
 
Then again, two chapters are maybe too short?
They don't really leave you on a cliffhanger that make you want to play more of it.
Eh, whatever I just have ideas on how to market this.

I will make a post about the beginning of the game itself soon and also because I really want to show off Studio Dixel's work on Chapter 2, it's just... So good!!

Well thanks for checking in, that's all I have for today once again and I hope you'll enjoy the mod, I will take in consideration the critics that are adressed in the public demo once released, for now most play testers are positive about the mod apart of spelling errors. ^^'

Until then, see you later. Bye 👋

Introduction


 The awakening to a stranger's adventure...

This is a development blog for my Cave Story side project mod, Curly's Weird Crusade.
I'll post some of my progress or random thoughts here instead of Twitter about the project along with some patch files and videos.

Yeah you heard it right, side project, I work on this thing when I have no idea of what to do or don't feel up to anything creatively and I guess that feeling comes really often because I did a quarter of the game. This project started in August of last year (2020) and has been going on until now, some people did their share in level design and some beta testers passed over it in this due of time.

What is Curly's Weird Crusade?

Curly's Weird Crusade (or as the numbreous intentional mistake throughout the adventure calls it, Curly Weird Crusade) is a Cave Story mod starring Curly as the (unintentional) protagonist as she is narrated by a voice that is from an unexperienced writer that wants to improve on his work.
The mod is mostly issued on humor, a fun little story which resembles the disconnected nature of some fanfictions, emulating the feeling of stopping/starting and slowing down/speeding up and down in certain parts during reading an actual fanfiction.


The mod issued of a general breakdown of criticism I heard from testers and I took most pros and decided to toy around with them.

This is a non-profit project that uses copyrighted material.

I hope you'll enjoy the mods and check in further for future updates, tell about it to your dog, your mom and most especially, your sex doll!

Until next time, bye. 👋
