Waligie: Masterpiece Collection

Instead of making a new thread, here is my Christmas gift to you all: a companion to this.

Waligie: Monsterpiece Collection.

This is a collection of games I've worked on in the Waligie series, released in a similar open source manner for everyone else to pick at and have fun with.
Here's what's inside:

• Waligie Wee was a game I created shortly after people initially figured out how to use a Wii Remote on a PC. This is an older method using a program called GlovePIE, which has some crazyass terms of use. Shadsy let me use the Waligie IP to make a game similar in vein to the very early Wii games. The "true" way to play is to use GlovePIE and the included script to map the controls to the Wii Remote, which is held like a remote. Motion gestures are used in this game. It can be played without the Wii Remote; look at the script in your favorite text editor to see what keys the controls are mapped to. Honestly this doesn't feel like a "proper" Waligie game.
  
• Waligie Fort was a game I created for the Pirate Kart game jam. 48 hours to crap out as many games as humanly possible. The "spirit" of the jam was to not spend more than 2 hours on a single project. So I asked Shadsy if I could attempt to make a Waligie game in such a span. And well, this is what happened. It's short but full of important lore.
  
• Waligie and the Political Machine was my attempt at making a Waligie game that felt much more like a proper Waligie game. Shadsy helped me with some of the ideas (like the oracle, and new game minus!), one of the levels came to me in a dream (the Angry Birds level, which includes the cutscene and the climb), and I feel that this is the most Waligie-feeling Waligie game I've come up with. Though, this wasn't my original vision...
  
• Waligie and the Political Machine: Director's Cut is only available as a binary. THIS is what I originally had planned. Shadsy had silently axed development of Waligie 3, and I wanted to bring that content - and one of the key concepts of the game design! - to people. This game starts out a lot more linear. When you beat the game, you get a password for New Game Plus; this changes the title screen and unlocks all the alternate ending paths. My favorite is the one in Waluide's stage, where he finds the Time Toaster... if you can complete the levels on that branch, you get to see a canon meeting of the Waligie Bros. and Quackers, featuring dialogue from Black Squirrel! However Shadsy didn't like the idea of melding his and Hippoman's work into mine, so I removed the content as requested and made the alternate paths that survived available from the get-go. However I had a backup of the binary, and Shadsy has given me the OK to release it. This version contains work by Shadsy and Hippoman!
  
• Waligie and the Credit Crunch: Teaser was something I whipped up after Shadsy told me the concept for Credit Crunch. I repurposed it into Political Machine as the recap, as well as made a screamer/flasher for an April Fools joke on the MFGG main site.
  
• Waligie 3: Trailer was something I whipped up from the opening cutscene of Waligie 3 and gave to Shadsy to use to promote the game. Never got used because the game never got done, but I think it worked well.
  
• Sonic Twist is a RAGE entry that never actually got completely finished! But wait, why is a Sonic game in here? Because had I finished this, it would have been revealed that Sonic and friends got warped to Waligie's world, and Sonic would have gotten help from Waligie to get back to their world. But I didn't get that far and it just ends with the bad ending. However this feels the most like a Waligie game to me. I love the chips level, that one cracks me up after all these years.
  
• Large Hedgehog Collider was a shitposty thing I made for Sonic Retro. I put it in here because it fits.
