| Description: | I caught a glimpse of the person I could someday become, a life that could one day be mine. I can never go back to the person I once was. Gemstones is the culmination of all of my abilities as a creator and a player. This project would not have been possible without all the knowledge and experience I have of asm and cape. No matter what happens next, I couldn't be more proud of the result. This is a single-level hack, but that single level is some of the hardest vanilla cape kaizo that's out there. If you don't feel it calling out to you, then chances are, it isn't for you. I didn't really build it with a set difficulty in mind, I just created and trusted it would take on the difficulty it needed to be. It is a reflection of myself, and depicts a transitional space. It's hard. And it will beat you down over and over. But for the few people who need this as much as I do, you will get through it, because you know you have to. Gemstones is meant to be played and beaten RTA, but practice with tools and use of the clear video is strongly advised. This hack was not intended to be played blind. Do so at your own risk. While there is a decent amount of wiggle room for minor alternate strats, the core tricks must all be pushed through one way or another. There is nothing else like this, and a lot of the tech requires an intimate knowledge of vanilla cape mechanics with a great deal of nuance. This was made for myself first, and your potential enjoyment is incidental. That said, from the bottom of my heart, I sincerely hope you enjoy this. I put all of myself into this short hack. Featuring: -A custom music selection system! When in the main level, the music will cycle every few minutes. Pressing R while paused will manually cycle the music, and pressing L while paused will lock in whatever track is currently playing. -Cape Flash! Courtesy of Selicre, this hack uses asm that makes the cape visibly flash whenever the player has a full dive stored. This is a great visual indicator that I hope to see gain traction in cape levels and cape hacks. It is a wonderful learning tool for players getting used to all that can be done with dive storage. A clear video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWKvudjttX0 And a much longer video of me (mostly rambling) explaining the mechanics of how every individual trick works in detail can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRu9LKFoiOM The latter is a great reference for a player that doesn't understand what they may be doing right or wrong for a given obstacle. Oh, also, tongueless yoshi flight is required ;) Lastly, this hack is a tribute to Splatoon's DLCs, Octo Expansion and Side Order. Those campaigns were genuinely life changing experiences. I am so sincerely grateful to Pulsar and Captain 3 for their plethora of Splatoon ports. This hack would not be what it is without their work. I hope you enjoy <3 |
