If PC gaming has thought me anything, it's this: If it exists on PC, it can be modded. 8D

In this case "modding" would mean somebody painstakingly drawing new sprites with a new costume.

You know how tedious that would be, especially for a game with fluid animation?

There's nothing actually stopping people from making level editors for this.

I mean, do you think all those Sonic Generations PC mods came out nowhere?

That's true.

But he's not talking about levels.

He's talking about the Beck Costume art thing.

Oh I understand that modding ain't easy (the same could be said for fan-translations); it requires the proper know-how of editing files within the game, the right programs and tools to get to the job done, and dedication to make sure a mod runs without a hitch. But I'm just saying, if it's on PC (or Mac or Linux), modding is possible. XD

Risky's Revenge got an Update and is currently free on iOS devices for those interested.

Figured this is the best place to mention it since it was announced on their kickstarter page.

Even if you don't own a iPhone (yet), you can still download it with a free Apple ID account and store it on download history for later use. ^^

Is it just freeon iphone? or are they doing it for free on 3DS as well? I saw the info on my iphone, and I got the update. I'm just curious of the other platforms had the same option. If not, this is still good. :)

Nope to free on the 3DS and probably no to the update on the 3DS as well. Though apparently the Steam version and Pirate's Curse will have the costume as well.

Unfortunately, "3DS" Risky's Revenge is actually a DSi game.  I'm guessing Nintendo's first-pass at handheld downloadable games wasn't very patch-friendly?  Even so, I really hate the whole F.U. to traditional platforms sometimes... ;O;

I guess I can only hope that they revisit Dancer Shantae with Pirate's Curse, seeings how the sprite style appears to be the same.

They said it was a probably for Pirate's Curse. Same with the steam version of Risky's Revenge.

A little late, but I didn't see it earlier, so...

The Kickstarter was updated to include details on the 800k stretch goal.



Doubt if we'll actually reach it at the current rate (I'd count us lucky to get 600k at the rate things are going), but man, it sure sounds like fun.  Hopefully the "unmet" stuff will be kept on the drawing board should a future opportunity arise.  I'd probably even be down with paid DLC if it came to that (for the extra chapters, at least).

They're now accepting donations via PayPal, and will be doing so for several months. In addition, all funds received via PayPal will be added to the overall total and count towards the stretch goals. So even if it doesn't reach any of them before the 4th, there's still hope thanks to that.

OH [parasitic bomb] IM USING LINK AND I ACCIDENTALLY FINAL SMASHED A CUCCO OH GOD HELP
Just enjoy yourself, don't complain about everything

That's good. I really want it to at least get to Fire and Forget.

New stretch goal!

It's a shame we won't see voice-overs happening at the rate this game is being funded, would have love it happen though. I blame timing of this Kickster surfacing.

On the upside, we're about $7.3k away from Risky Mode though I hope some of the other features (costumes, extra chapters, characters, etc.) become DLC down the road after its release.

Whoops, keep forgeting about that. Really wished Nyu Media did that for The Tale of ALLTYNEX Kickstarter, I would love to buy a physical copy set of the trilogy.
