More minor stuff relating to that, since tab opens the keyconfig I've noticed a few times where I went to open my steam friends thing and opened up the keyconfig instead. Just a minor thing that the general public will notice.

Man, I can't remember for the life of me the gem backtracking in world 4 kicking my ass so hard. ~~Also, can't find the R for the life of me.~~ Nevermind. Current progress is EVERS_O_

So, why the fuck are they releasing Eversion on Steam now? I can't think of a stupider release for a online service at the moment.

Hey guys, lets take a really charming little game that one really talented and compassionate Brazilian guy made, change nothing and call it an "update" and then charge for this abomination when anyone with a 56k modem and a pentium 2 can download the superior original for free. Who the fuck thought there was any reason to do this?

You know what made Eversion cool, the fact that a guy made it out of nowhere, by himself and then you downloaded and it felt really cool and polished and you were like, "Hey, this game is sweet. I wish this had existed for the NES back when I was a kid or that there was some way I could go back and play this then, cause it's a lot cooler than a lot of the shit that came out back then when people didn't give a shit about videogames."

The characters were awesome and the graphic style was awesome. The game was fun to play just to dive in and see how deep Zaratustra had actually made it. When you finally beat it, it turned out it wasn't really THAT long or THAT deep, but it was a lot of fun figuring that out. More importantly, it still delivered way more than you expected.

To release this now, for money, with no added value and all the charm of the original playing experience completely missing... I just don't get it. Why didn't they just hire Zaratustra to make a new game, something worthy of anyone's money. It would have been a huge success and Zaratustra would have made all the money he deserves for his hard work. To instead release this for five people to buy and probably not even think much of though, it's such a fucking waste of time and money.

Er, I was under the impression that the original pixel/chiptune shit was there in full. And that Zara was making his cut off it.

It's also possible that Zara would like to reach a larger audience than just the few people who know about it on TIGSource.

I'm not sure where Frocto's rage is directed at. Is he mad at Zara for having the audacity to sell his work? Does he think some suits cooked this scheme up to soullessly capitalize on some imaginary Eversion mania?

Eversion may be a labor of love for Zaratustra, but he's still entitled to port it to the other platforms and sell it if he wants. The free, PC version of Eversion will still be around, just now Zara was given an opportunity to reach more people and even make a little cash on his creation, and he's perfectly within his right to do so. Good for him, really.

Frocto's humor is kind of subtle.

I'm still not sure if it's being sold for money, or being put up as a free download like it was before.

Working on getting the achievements
Aside from the aformention achievements about eversing to a layer not working properly:

Editing main.rb with a single empty line, and then loading the game immediatley gave me the "Edit the file then get an achievement" achievement.

Also going for the ready message one
I've gotten
[spoiler]Ready! TO DIE
Stop
Mother
Behind You
I See You
Game Over
[Blank Screen]
[/spoiler]

What am I missing?

I got an achievement for something or other but like I'm still really stuck, this is why I still play turbo grafx games, because I get stuck and give up for approximately 8 years before trying again

Cave Story being updated by some other guy than the original creator as a cash grab

TOTALLY EQUALS

Zara releasing his own game on steam to perhaps make money off of his own hard work.

totes, totes equals that.

Burn on me.

Zaratustra · « **Reply #55 on:** April 12, 2010, 01:58:45 PM »

can anyone tell me if the game updated

there should be a menu with five options at hte start screen now

Beat Bandit · « **Reply #56 on:** April 12, 2010, 02:11:58 PM »

Didn't for me. I still have the same version with tab for keyconfig and alt+x to quit.

Zaratustra · « **Reply #57 on:** April 13, 2010, 09:50:54 AM »

Should be definitely updated now.

Phenwah · « **Reply #58 on:** April 13, 2010, 10:03:32 AM »

My game is still at V1.Steam as well.

Clearly GABE ATE THE PATCH.
