Summary
Submitted by Merlin on 28 December 2016
The Great Giana-Sisters Construction-Set V 3.1:
===============================================================================
SUMMARY:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With this Construction-Set you can create a complete Giana-Sisters-game.
Use the Level-Editor (Constr.-Kit) to create or edit Stages (Levels) or Treasuries (Bonus-rooms).
Use the Game-Maker to put them together to a playable game. (Treasuries and title-stage will be included in the game-file, stages have to be on disk as seperate files and will be loaded during the game.)
It's also possible to create new monsters with little effort (although it's more for advanced users) :
Just draw new sprites, enter 21 bytes in a (hex-)editor for the spite's abilities and save this data on disk (see manual for details).
The C.-Set is based on the program of Giana-Sisters II (by The7A3), where new features have been added to the original Giana-Sisters. (see notes below)
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
INSTRUCTIONS:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a detailed html-manual included in the ZIP-file named:
"Giana-Sisters C-Set-Manual (english).html"
And the same in german language:
"Giana-Sisters C-Set-Anleitung (deutsch).html"
Additionally a short-instruction-file for those who are too lazy to read long manuals.
Furher more you can view a video of it on the YouTube-channel: "Merlin The 7A3".

NOTES:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many things have been improved and some changed compared to Giana-Sisters I:
(Most of them have been used already in "The Great Giana-Sisters II" by The 7A3 (1993).)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 1 to 99 Stages are possible
- up to 40 Treasuries (instead of only 5 in Giana I)
- New Sprite-Control-Program (was a big Part in the Program, done by Chrille). That means:
- Giana can jump on moving platforms (Elevators)
- Giana can swim in water
- Giana can fly by collecting the Jet-Pack-Extra
- If the maximum of sprites is in the screen one of them can disappear when a new one comes in (in Giana I no new sprite could appear in this case). If possible dead sprites will be deleted first.
- Treasure-Chests which contain the same extras like the extra-blocks but Giana can collect them without jumping under a block
- many new small enemies (some of them must be shot 2 or 3 times to kill them) and some new (big) end-bosses
- Some enemies can follow Giana
- Jumping enemies fall down when they loose the ground and bounce against the ceiling when there is not enough space.
- Some jumping enemies can also jump to the left and to the right
- Enemies also appear in the first screen (in Giana 1 they had to scroll in)
- The Dragon spits fire now
- You'll get thousands of points when you kill an end-monster (instead of nothing :-( in Giana I)
- Softer collision-detection with monsters (in game only, not in C-Kit/Level-editor)
- Issue (Bug) cleared : Giana won't die any more BEFORE she touches an enemy (in game only, not in C-Kit)
- Replaced the annoying fast bug/turtle/mouse(whatever) with a real monster so Gianas Bullet cannot be caught by that monster
- The exit-elevator has the right look now (not in multi-color)
- The Bomb-Extra kills all small monsters now (also like worms or balls) and not only the ones who can also be shot (Who needs a Bomb when you just as well can shoot the same enemies). But this won't work for End-Monsters (This would be almost too easy). (in game only, not in C-Kit)
- New Stage-Initialisation-Program (done by Merlin) That means:
- You are able to train a special stage that you already have played, even without using a cheat
- All stages (and load-monsters) will be loaded from Disk, so the number of stages is not restricted by the RAM.
- Timelimit can be set different for each Stage between 1 and 9999 seconds
- Warps do not simply teleport Giana 3 Stages forward but also less or more
- Diamonds (and some other objects) have different colours in different Stages
- You can make special settings for single stages, e.g. walk on clouds
- Faster and shorter scroll-routine (by Merlin)
- Also fixed an issue (bug) in the scroll-routine that made Giana slip from an edge when she just landed on it while scrolling
- New Stage-Build-up-Routine (by Merlin)
- New objects like new walls or upside down turned peaks
- Giana cannot "cheat" any more by standing on the red peaks
- hidden corridors, extras, bonus and invisible bridges are possible
- start with 5 Lives instead of 3
- You can always view the high-score-list by pressing "H" in the Title-Screen
- Also the hidden Song of Giana-Sisters can be used (graveyard-music)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You had to wait a long time for this one, since I annunciated the C-Set in 2005 already.
Although it was finished yoear ago, it never came to a release for several reasons.
But now it's out and some things were even improved.
Maybe there will also be updates in the future with further improvments.
Have fun with creating new stages/games!
