A mod I (X-Calibar) was creating for the Make a Good Cave Story Level contest on the Cave Story Tribute Site Forums. I didn't finish it in time... But, I submitted it, and this is what I submitted at the very last minute!

This should be playable as part of the MaGCSL contest mod that should come out soon. The mod stops at part 6 of 16 of the first area. So there was a long way to go... Still... enjoy!

There are some different choices you can make, and different actions you can take that lead to different outcomes. But, this was the most positive route.

Oh, some things broke for this demo. Had to eliminate things to meet the requirements, like only 3 or 4 portraits... Kazuma's face got removed at the end for instance lol. Some songs and some easter eggs removed too. But, still some secrets remain.

No graphics were changed for this mod... not at this point.

Will I continue? Well... I guess that depends if people hate it or want more. It's disappointing that I didn't finish it in time for the contest, but not unexpected for someone who never releases mods.

What was I thinking with the first area?
I wanted to give the player the feeling of being nearly invincible. A true power house like you see in anime. One person wiping away the undead occupying the town ruins.
The next part is supposed to give you a chance to explore the ruins and look in doors, but that didn't make the cut. And talking to the hermit is supposed to give you the first hint of a backstory.

The second under well area, is pretty bonkers. It's supposed to end up being a test of character. The boss didn't make the demo though ... :/
