I'm with Replica, end of CQ3.

Also, I dont think this is the last of the flemoids. We still havent actually gone to the flemoid dimension and ensured their removal (that will take some doing...), so as long as we use zorchers...its gonna never end. LOL
Don't remember me as I was...I was an idiot.

Actually, I'm going to ask Chucker not to do that if he ever make's another one. Look at it this way, if chucker killed off the flemoids, he would end Chex Quest forever. I just really don't want one in the flemoid world unless he doesn't kill them off.

Killing off the Flemoids wouldn't end Chex Quest by any means. There are more plots and devices we could figure out, such as fighting anamorphic junk food. (props to whoever can figure out what I just referenced)

EDIT: And, to set the record straight on the Flemoids' names, I am revealing a conversation between me and Chukker to clarify this once and for all. I didn't post it before mainly to a sin known as procrastination.

I am pretty positive we always called the demon replacement "Cycloptis", though I do see your point about the naming. There is probably a disparity between the work DC did and the work which another company did on the website and any printed materials. That was handled by completely different people who didn't do much inter communication with our company.

We always named the Quadrumpus with an "m", but this is another case where disparities between the two companies' work appeared.

As for the new cacodemon, to me he is the Super Cycloptis. I would think that should be its common name, but he could still be of the genus Flemoidus Cycloptis Ultricus. Likewise other flemoids like the Flembrane could have genuses for them as well if people want to get creative. That is what the IFC scientists might call him.

I have a few more issues I'd like to run over with you, if you don't mind.

There are a few discrepancies in the names of some of the Flemoids. First, in the Windows 3.1 menu for Chex Quest, the "Pinky" replacement is called the Cycloptis. However, in some of the scanned photos of www.chexquest.com, the Pinky replacement is called the Cycloptus. This name actually makes more sense, since the other Flemoids' names are like Bipedicus, Commonus, Stridicus etc. Which name is correct? Cycloptis or Cycloptus?

Second, in the previously posted pictures, Quadrupus is practically the only name given for the Chex Quest 2 Imp replacement. However, the name Quadrumpus has gotten to be quite common in Chex Quest lingo. That likely came about because someone said Quadrumpus, and everyone else followed the introduced error. Which name is correct there? Quadrupus or Quadrumpus?

Third, what's the official name of the cacodemon replacement? Your files and Chex Quest 3 say only Super Cycloptis, but several die-hards here are adhering to the made-up name "Flemoidus Cycloptis Ultricus" that came about as a result of some not accepting the already given name of Super Cycloptis. The issue has resurfaced now that your mod uses Super Cycloptis exclusively. So, what's the cacodemon's replacement's name?

I always wanted to see how that mod would turn out. Curse you STRIFE!!!

However, on the subject of 'killing', wouldn't that violate the spirit of Chex Quest just a tad?
Did we really just spend the last decade talking about Chex Quest? Yes. Yes we did.

I regret nothing!

...lol tru

Well, it would seem that in the DooM series, some of the games claimed |-|3LL to be blown up, but you still get the problems in each game XD so, maybe it could be the same way, you get rid of their dimension, but flemoids live on anyway...

You just love that "Super Cycloptis" name don't you? As we've concluded that is would be called that as a common name along time ago. I'm still not happy though. :'(

I'm saying it's dead for 88% of the modders, because no one here beside Chucker, Strife, and Boingo have good art abilitys. It's alot easyer for a modder to continue the storys, not add storys inbetween.

That depends on whether it's completely custom or a 'shop. Manny, myself, and others have PhotoShop/Gimp skills.

The only way to make a good sprite is by using a pencil tool. There are no filters in shops that make sprites. ;)

I'm talking about splicing, such as cut-paste-crop-lasso-marquee-drag to other image kinda thing.

I would say that Slime and the others have a good bit of skill at making things in Chuck's style...but its hard to make brand new things like that...

Have fun coming up with the cut and paste junk food. And, you guy's probably don't have the 2 hours it takes to make a sprite.

I do not post much but I recently played this and must say I was impressed! Years ago, the idea of more CQ games was more fantasy than reality. Now this and other mods have seemed to have changed that. Great job!

Atariangamer

I'm sure Chuck appreciates that...and welcome to the CQFF!
