Gun

**Gun** is a Cave Story created by King 2.0 which is non-canonical in the Lunar Shadow universe and was inspired by the original game. Unlike Lunar Shadow or Solar Shadow, the mod was updated in parts so that it could be finished easier.

The actual mod itself started as a short mod that consisted of 4 levels and a boss fight with War Machine. After Gun v1 was released on March 4th 2020, it was updated to include more content. Gun v2 was released on August 30th 2020, including more content on top of fixing issues present in Gun v1.

Gun v3 is currently in development though more time has been devoted in building the entire mod first then breaking down in to each version so the overall experience can be improved.

## Plot

(Gun v1): "Your mission, should you wish to engage, is to fight your way through 4 levels designed to train you for the battle against the War Machine. In each level, you must use your skills to fight enemies and navigate your way through harsh terrain. May you succeed in your mission."

(Gun v2): Awakened by an unknown master, Gunnoid-0's training involves making his way through various sectors and taking on various machines who'll put the player to the test to see if they're worthy of their master's plan.

(Gun v3): ????

## Image Gallery (Beta)

Beta version of the Hub.A floor was added in because the player would fall to their death otherwise. Originally the player would get their weapon from a chest.A gameplay screenshots. As seen, Gunnoid-0 wasn't created yet hence Quote's presence.A secret area was added in, and one of the game's secret bosses was fought there.The map was moved so the gap wouldn't be as large.The colour of the hub was changed from grey to sky blue, making the colours work better.The game's secret boss was originally going to be fought in the pink area below. It was later changed so that it'd be fought in a bonus dungeon.

## Version Changes

* **Gun v2:** Adds in 4 new levels and changes the War Machine's second phase in addition to redesigning War Machine's graphics. The Taboo Zone's level design is also fixed and has been updated to have a second area added in. The player also gains two new weapons (The Gunnoid Sword and the Diamond Dogbreath).

* **Gun v2.0** Fixes several gamebreaking bugs (i.e The Keycard in Sector Purple being impossible to obtain and a scripting error in War Machine's pre-battle dialogue) and fixes up several problems featured in Gun v2.

* **Gun v3:** Adds in 4 new levels and completes the Taboo Zone by adding in Taboo Zone 3. It also revamps all of the other levels by rearranging the locations of the warp doors so that they can be found in the new Hardtype paths.

## Trivia

* Lunar Shadow inspired another user King 2.0 to get into Cave Story modding, and create this mod. It also borrows a few things such as healing life capsules (called HP Upgrades in game), a wardrobe for alternate costumes (though King 2.0 sought to improve upon Lunar Shadow's convoluted wardrobe system) and a warp system (though Gun uses the teleporter instead of multiple doors).

* Gunnoid-0's appearance is inspired by the Demi-fiend, the main protagonist of Shin Megami Tensei III: Lucifer's Call. This is most noticeable because Gunnoid-0 also had body markings that resemble tattoos.
