User:KurosurinTomasu/Pixel Development Diary

This is a sub-page of User:KurosurinTomasu.

This is a sandbox page for me. I figured out a way to sort of translate Pixel's Development Diary, dated back in June 2001. Naturally, I'm deciding to put all that I can into here.

Note that I am not Japanese. Whatsoever. So all the translations here are done using DeepL Translate. And if I can get enough context from that, I put a sort of "better translation" next to the DeepL one.

Also, this page is in the exact order as is shown on the sidebar. Stuff may not be in chronological order. Blame 2001 Pixel for that.

...But what does it mean? This game has text or audio that needs to be translated. If you are fluent with this language, please read our translation guidelines and then submit a translation!

To do: Get some more translations done for the following: Memories.html, what I believe to be Pixel memorializing the old Pixel Online psuedonym. Work01.html, a small report. Report.html, the juicy stuff. Pixel documenting all that he can for Cave Story's development. Report2.html, pretty much just part 2 to Report.html. OpenPict.html, A broken image gallery. Aza2.html, most likely related to Azarashi and not Cave Story? Thanks.html, Thank you page?

August 9, 2000	Pixel-Online はもともと 開発室Pixel というサイトでした。 まぁ、やってることは今とたいして変わらないんですけどね。 当時は学校へ行きながら、たまーにゲーム作りに専念していました。 Pixelにとってのゲームは作るものだったわけで、 何でそんなもの作るかというと、一種の自己満足に他なりません。 だからいつまで経っても、作りだしてはポイッって感じで、 なかなか完成するものじゃあありません。 それでも作り始めってのは、いつも新鮮な気持ち。 何度敗れても作り始めてしまうのです。 完成する日を夢見て・・・☆ -------------------------2000/8/9	Pixel-Online was originally called Development Room Pixel. Well, what we do is not so different from what we do now. At that time, I was going to school and occasionally devoted myself to making games. For Pixel, games were something to make, Why would I make such things? So, no matter how long it took, I would just start making games and then throw them away, It is not easy to complete. Even so, it is always a fresh feeling when you start making something. No matter how many times I lose, I always start to make something new. Dreaming of the day when it will be completed... -------------------------2000/8/9

July 20, 2000	ゲームが完成するもしないも、 ほとんどPixelのテンション次第です。 とにかく目的も持たずにマップチップを描いてみます。 -------------------------2000/7/20	The game may or may not be completed, mostly depends on the tension of Pixel. Anyway, I'll try to draw a map chip without any purpose. -------------------------2000/7/20
August 11, 2000	しかし、何ですかねぇ。 この16*16パーツの魅力ってのは・・・。 ファミコン世代のオジサンなのでしょうか。 -------------------------2000/8/11	But what is it? What is the charm of this 16*16 parts.... Are you an old man of the NES generation? -------------------------2000/8/11

Game Development Murmur (5/10) (Report.html)

To do: Finish documenting this one. This'll be a long one.

NOTE: Will be documenting builds under the final game's vX.Y.Z.W format. (For example: v1.0.0.6 is the final game, v0.2.5.0 is quite possibly the final pre-reset version, v0.2.6.1 is the version name of the leaked v1.0.0.4 source code.)

N/A	↑とくに冗談です。 趣味が為に仕事を投げません…。 まだね…。。	↑upParticularly joking. I don't throw my work away for a hobby.... Not yet....		Broken image with filename "Yame.gif" linked above this text.
August 23, 2000	◆Pix0001.lzh (19Kbyte) さて、と言う感じ･･･。	◆Pix0001.lzh (19Kbyte) Well, let's see...		Linked to what is possibly a very, very early build of Cave Story, v0.0.0.1. Possibly made to test map functionality. Was never archived.
August 30, 2000	◆Pix0002.lzh (21Kbyte) あ、もう一週間？ でもやる気出てきたかも･･･。	◆Pix0002.lzh (21Kbyte) Oh, another week? But maybe I'm getting motivated...		Linked to v0.0.0.2, which was possibly made to test map functionality. Much like the previous build, it was never archived on the Wayback Machine.
September 5, 2000	◆Pix0003.lzh (25Kbyte) おお、今のところ好調。 さっさと片付けてしまおう。	◆Pix0003.lzh (25Kbyte) Oh, so far so good. Let's get this over with.		Linked to v0.0.0.3, which was possibly made to test map functionality. All of the files linked in the original page are dead links. I probably shouldn't point them out.
September 10, 2000	◆PixMap.lzh (25Kbyte) マップエディタ完成。 データ仕様付き☆	◆PixMap.lzh (25Kbyte) Map editor completed. With data specification		Linked to an early map editor. Was eventually replaced after an unknown bug report from BA2.
September 15, 2000	◆PixMap.lzh (25Kbyte) BA2よりバグの報告。 しくしく･･･ver.1.1。	◆PixMap.lzh (25Kbyte) Bug report from BA2. Shhhh... ver.1.1.		Linked to an updated version of "PixMap.lzh".
October 4, 2000	◆Pix0101.lzh (22Kbyte) テキストスクリプト。 文字を出すモジュール開発中。	◆Pix0101.lzh (22Kbyte) Text script. Module for producing text is under development.		Linked to v0.1.0.1, which was most likely made to test TextScript functionality.
October 6, 2000	◆Pix0102.lzh (23Kbyte) テキストスクリプト。 今回は、クリアと相槌と終了。 文を書く元気があるなら、サウンドノベル作りたい。	◆Pix0102.lzh (23Kbyte) Text script. This time, clear, phase, and end. If I had the energy to write text, I would make a sound novel.		Linked to v0.1.0.2, which was most likely made to test TextScript functionality further.
November 5, 2000	◆Pix0201.lzh (18Kbyte) カーソルキーでマップ内を移動。 見た感じでは「いかちゃん」を思うだろう。 しかし、プログラムが以前より数段きれいなのだよ。	◆Pix0201.lzh (18Kbyte) Use the cursor keys to move around the map. On the face of it, you would think “Ika-chan”. But the program is several levels cleaner than before.	◆Pix0201.lzh (18Kbyte) Use the arrow keys to move around the map. On the surface, you would probably think of "Ikachan". But this program is several levels cleaner than that.	Linked to v0.2.0.1, which was possibly made to test very basic player movement.
November 6, 2000	◆Pix0202.lzh (21Kbyte) 壁にあたり判定をつけた。 ついでに効果音も。 テキストスクリプト作ってから一ヶ月かぁ。	◆Pix0202.lzh (21Kbyte) Added a judgment when the image hits the wall. I also added sound effects. It's been a month since I made the text script.		Linked to v0.2.0.2, which was most likely made to test player collisions and sound effects.
November 11, 2000	◆Pals.lzh (16Kbyte) 16色/256色パレット管理用ツール。 かなり個人的仕様になってるので、 汎用性は期待できない･･･。 アップロードする意義なんて無いのかも。	◆Pals.lzh (16Kbyte) Tool for managing 16/256 color palettes. It is a very personalized tool, I don't expect it to be versatile.... There may be no meaning in uploading it.		Linked to a program designed for Pixel to manage the palettes he used in Cave Story.
November 15, 2000	◆PixEve ver.1.0 一日で作ったイベント配置エディタ。 このツール作り出すのにちょっと悩んだ。 ゲームの中で何ができるかが、 ほぼ決まってしまうからね―。 アップロードはしないで置こう。	PixEve ver.1.0 An event placement editor created in a day. I had a bit of trouble creating this tool. What can be done in the game is almost decided, I'm going to leave it without uploading it. I'll leave it without uploading.		PixEve ver.1.0 was never uploaded to Pixel's diary. IDK why I'm pointing this out.
November 18, 2000	◆Pix0203.lzh (22Kbyte) マイキャラに続いてNPCを100個表示。 ついで壁のあたり判定。 モジュールはマイキャラと何ら変わりない 進展と言えど作業的･･･。	◆Pix0203.lzh (22Kbyte) Display 100 NPCs following my character. Then, the wall hit judgment. The module is no different from my character. It is a work in progress....		Linked to v0.2.0.3, which was most likely made to test NPCs and... more player collisions.
November 25, 2000	◆Pix0204 マイキャラをジャンプさせたり。 左右移動とジャンプだけだけど一日かかる。 アクションゲームの醍醐味だからね。 これがダメだとクリアまでに飽きられてしまう。	◆Pix0204 Jumping my character. It's just moving left and right and jumping, but it takes all day. It's the best part of action game. If this is not good, you will be bored by the time you clear the game.		From now on, Pixel rarely- if never- uploads any further beta builds to his diary. Documents v0.2.0.4, which seems to have been made to test actual platforming.
November 26, 2000	◆Pix00205 とりあえず敵キャラもジャンプして歩き回れるようにした。	◆Pix00205 For now, I made it so that enemy characters can also jump and walk around.		v0.2.0.5, now the NPCs move, apparently. Original text has a typo, documenting "Pix00205" and not "Pix0205".

February 3, 2001	↑今回の主となる敵キャラは「ソア」というヤツら。 「せっけん」をモチーフに、歩き回るヤツや燃えてるヤツがいる。 んでも、これじゃどんなゲームにでもいそうなタダの火の玉だね―。	↑upThe main enemy characters this time are called “Soa”. There are walking and burning ones based on the motif of “soap. But these are just fireballs that can be found in any game.		Broken image with filename "Fire.gif" above this text. Most likely linked to this image.

His motif is a “rabbit with leaned ears. The white one in the center is the one.		Broken image with filename "Camp1.gif" above this text. Most likely linked to this image.
February 3, 2001	↑「ソア」はいくつか種類があるが、基本的にザコキャラとなる。 いわばショッカー的存在。	There are several types of ↑“Soa”, but they are basically zako-characters. They are shockers, so to speak.		Broken image with filename "Angle.gif" above this text. Most likely linked to this image.

Soar-Gravity (tentative name) I really want to make it flashy, but that makes it hard to clear... I want to make it as flashy as “Ika-chan” + α, but it's hard to clear.... I want to make it as flashy as “Mega Man” or “Labyrinth Suite”...well, that's how I feel about it. Oh, they are both NES... I added a health indicator, but I don't feel like I have time to look at it. But if I show you the boss, I don't have anything else to show you........
