Spelunky - The Forums

[ipwnu1337]

Okay, here's the basic idea for this mod:

I modify objects, monsters, etc. so that it represents a certain community member here.

I've just finished one for myself:  It's an owl.

[banna8]

NAME: Banna8
WHAT: Banana (Throwable item, generated by monkeys)
WHY: Sounds like my name
TRAITS: Could be added as an item throwable by monkeys in addition to the grabby thing they do. Could be triggered however, but probably easiest to look at arrow traps for basis.

[marsgreekgod]

Name? Marsgreekgod
What will you replace? TombLord
What will you be? Demon King
Why do you want to replace that? They are big mad mosters, and it just fits my style
Notable traits of the replacement? Giant arms, tiny legs, black body, red cape, green eyes, three tiny horns, bugs become fireballs

I love this idea! I well gladdy help if you need it.

How'd you guess? =|  It's only the most obvious place for Derek.  I'm going to work on that later.

I'm not so sure how I'd add bananas to he mix.  I'm not making new mechanics, just replacing sprites.

[banna8]

awww... perhaps as a rock replacement then? Or if you want I could make the object and code for banana and give it to you.

[marsgreekgod]

I could add banana as well it would be quite easy. (clone of rock)

[Darkness3313]

Name? Darkness3313
What will you replace? Alien Boss
What will you be? The Darkness
Why do you want to replace that? Because Mars pitched the idea to me and it kind of makes sense.
Notable traits of the replacement? Kind of a dark aura(Think like Gigyas) Like a Haze.(Blackish purplish color)

I know how to make a rock clone, but I'm not so sure how to make the monkey throw it.

Well we should see what the monkey may be before we try and do that, shouldn't we?

And do you mind my idea?

[ipwnu1337]

New Rule:  You can only replace non-mundane items (liek shotgun, cape, parachute, etc), and monsters.  The basics (pot, rock, web, etc) should not be replaced unless you have a good idea that fits with the original item.

[marsgreekgod]

idea: rocks should some how be non active members

About your replacement, can you provide me an example?  I have no idea what your replacement is going to look like.

[halibabica]

Name? halibabica
What will you replace? Skeleton
What will you be? A stick figure.
Why do you want to replace that? Because when drawing in my art style I always represent myself with a stick figure.
Notable traits of the replacement? A big, white head on a bare bones (lol) black stick body.  Straight black hair on top; wears round white glasses.  Need a ref?  Here you go:

And, obviously, my creepy head would replace the skull you kick around.  
I can help make the sprite if you want!  That ref is probably too big.

[Kirby]

Name? Kirby Lord
What will you replace? Boulder
What will you be? Giant Kirby
Why do you want to replace that? Because Kirby can get fat, and it'd be fun to get squashed by a giant pink marshmallow!
Notable traits of the replacement? Boulder is pink, has eyes, feet sort've squished on the sprite. I can try and make one. Also arms. Could someone PM me boulder sprites? I feel I might be able to edit it.

Also I would probably be freaked out to have a skeleton head replaced.

[TailorTF]

Name? TailorTF
What will you replace? Shopkeeper
What will you be? Spelunker
Why do you want to replace that? Both helpful AND can kill you quickly.That's me.
Notable traits of the replacement? A blue Spelunky with his face hidden.
