I love that trailer when I was a kid. It felt so exciting and learning that a single dude made pretty much the entire game got me to believe I could do something similar myself.

I think Cave Story 3D was a good game and offered a charming and unique perspective on the series. It wasn't necessary, like at all, but I still enjoyed it.
>>
>>697858323
i'll never forget the experience of playing cave story on my wii for the first time. I'll always be grateful for reading that one magazine that talked about it and its development. I'll replay it on my switch like i always do, good thread op

I had to play through it three and a half times because I fucked up saving Curly twice. Great game. Thanks to the anon that suggested I get the dokutsu-rs patch to turn the goddamn speed back down to 50 fps. I'd never played the game before in my life and that speed up made the game feel weird and sped up.

If you get the nicalis version, and the movement feels off, try getting the patch to put it back to 50fps. If you get the original version it doesn't matter, but I honestly liked the updated soundtrack.

>fake game bait like april fools
I feel like I'm the only one who wasn't keen on the idea of "Cave Story Story", if it was real, it would just feel like Nicalis trying to cash in on the popularity of modern indie RPGs like Undertale, by turning Cave Story into one.
>>
>>697861707
my fav one, aside from the original, is the Famitracks from the switch version.

>>697861779
for unknown reasons, the series outside of PC is exclusive to nintendo consoles, the switch even got an exclusive version of CS+ with tons of new features, soundtracks and the physical version comes with a manual (something rare nowadays)

I remember randomly stumbling upon it after looking up other indie games after playing Yume Nikki, didn`t had any idea it had that much of a cult following at the time, I remember being quite shocked when the 3D version was announced.

>Is the developer being a lil’ nigga on purpose?
The game's owner is called Tyrone Rodriguez, what do you think?
>>
>>697861898
The Switch version does have button graphics for other consoles in the files, so they probably had it planned at some point.
https://tcrf.net/Cave_Story/Nintendo_Switch_version
Also the bit at the end of the page pretty much confirms that Pixel has zero ownership of the game.
>>
>>697863061
actually those buttons are from The Binding of Issac.

>Also the bit at the end of the page pretty much confirms that Pixel has zero ownership of the game.
If that was actually the case, wouldn't that mean the change of ownership happened years after the rumors started?
>>
>>697863384
>actually those buttons are from The Binding of Issac.
Then why the fuck are they there when they don't even share the same engine? Is it Nicalis being retarded again?

You have saved her, right?

When's the multiplayer lobby? Preferably with actual moderation and banning faggots holding up the run.
>>697869218
My first playthrough I had no idea it was even possible to save her. I only looked it up once I started getting curious about why people were so obsessed with a "dead" character.
>>
>>697869218
You don't truly beat the game unless you save her, so yes.
>>697869394
The fact that she can die at all is part of the reason she's so popular, and the best ending being hidden behind an obtuse requirement is intentional, to make people get attached to her and seeing her die by a sacrifice incentivizes the player further to achieve that ending, the only hint of the best ending's existence being at the very end of the game supports this.

I've never actually played Cave Story. Can't think of a better excuse so I'm going to fix that. Is Cave Story+ worth the $3 on Steam or should I just play the freeware?

A pretty nice platformer, completely original, made entirely by one guy and also freeware.
Back when it released it was a great standard of what indie games could be and honestly it still is.
>>
>>697884325
>>697884276
Being realistic, probably a rerelease or something along those lines.
Being hopefu, CS2 with little to no involvement from Nicalis.
>>
>>697884239
It was THE indie game. You didn't really see a game from one guy made in his free time release and gain so much praise/notoriety outside of the occasional flash game that usually had very small scope or rough production values. Cave Story was quality, polished, and fun (and free) and it being from one part-time dev really opened the eyes of a lot of people. I don't think many of the indies we have today exist without Pixel and Cave Story proving it was possible.

Massive autistic blogposting incoming

I originally found the game from 404timenotfound,a random swf website,I was super intrigued to have found a game there,but it didnt save properly and lost my progress up until grasstown.
Then found it again uploaded on newgrounds ( I dont remember) but it was quickly taken down.
I dont remember the versions being in english either.
It was way later until I found the steam version then promptly downloaded the freeware.

The rollercoaster to just get to it was wild and personal,I think that the air of nostalgia about how everyone came to play it the first time,the time period (or the wii era) + the fact that it was made by one person makes it like a well-crafted exprienced for one guy to another,which just makes it more personal/endearing

The gripes with it though
The jellyfish quest could have been different items/sub quests than just getting it 2-3 times
Puu black is very out of nowhere
The booster part and the jump ,is just non-sensical even from the "good things come to those who wait" (like the spur)
The text interrupting the flow of gameplay in hell


Some of the QoL updates dont warrant a fucking price tag on the re-re-releases (Nigalis)

When the rights to your intellectual property have been sold off, you are essentially a figurehead to a series, that doesn't get any new updates except very minor cameos, but you can't leave because it is also your economic beneficiary. So you are economically being held hostage. I imagine that is the same for companies who have the rights to games and yet the original developers left while the company is still part of a capital tie-in so you are essentially raped six ways to sunday.

TL;DR Pixel is now Nicalis' bitch.

Does it bother anyone else that nearly every artist of an animal-type character that has a short tail basically attaches it to the side of their ass like some kind of tumor? They're all "oh fuck we really want people to see the tail", but then draw that character in a pose where a short tail shouldn't be visible at all. Just look at that image. I like it! But, trace in your mind's eye where the spine would go, and where the tail should be sprouting from. Those are phantom tails floating like a foot away from where they should be.
>>
>>697929180
>The first half of the game is just you having to deal with her doing dumb shit.
Like what? I guess you technically have to fight Igor because of her, but she was in the egg corridor looking for a hatchable egg which Igor was guarding so presumably you'd have had to fight him eventually even if she didn't get carried off. After that she asks you to go to Grasstown to search for Kazuma after King locked her up, but she is literally not at fault for that. Going to Grasstown is also the only thing to do at that point other than sitting around in the village, so again, you'd be doing it anyway.
>Because that's all she does
She also gets the teleporter connected to Grasstown so that you can actually get there in the first place.

>>697932349

True, I wouldn't notice on a rubber hose or overtly cartoony character since nothing about their anatomy makes sense anyway. They're purely stylistic. The problem arises when the image as a whole adheres to a reasonable body plan.

Also, Kazuma is only able to help you at all because Sue got the teleporter connected to Grasstown so that you could go there and save him. If not for Sue, you'd be stuck.
>>
>>697933007
It's not hard to imagine. That anon could become infatuated with the character, and then see that image and whip up a whole fantasy in his mind of being a date with her, there at the edge of the island.

The burdens out-weigh the helpfulness, she makes everyone in the village hate her, gets Toroko killed, gets knocked out and kidnapped a lot, and is also very selfish in that her only goal is just to fuck off from the island, not caring for the well-being of anything else on it(which includes her own mother), and only really """helps""" Quote because he can fight and can be just another ticket out of there.

>she makes everyone in the village hate her
The village hates her through no fault of her own. Also, it really seems like it was just King and Jack and not the entire village, because Kanpachi and Mahin both seem indifferent to her when they mention her.
>gets Toroko killed
Sue had absolutely nothing to do with that. Toroko got kidnapped in the first place because Misery is apparently a retard and completely forgot who Sue was.
>gets knocked out and kidnapped a lot
Three times. Once in the egg corridor, once when she gets back to the village (which again wasn't her fault), and once when everyone in the village gets captured (which is also not her fault).
>and is also very selfish in that her only goal is just to fuck off from the island, not caring for the well-being of anything else on it(which includes her own mother)
Are you confusing her with Kazuma? Because he's the one that does that.
>and only really """helps""" Quote because he can fight and can be just another ticket out of there.
This is you projecting and making shit up. Sue is even friendly towards King after he was nothing but a dick to her, referring to him as being a friend of hers to Booster when he asks who King is.
Honestly, the more you post the more it seems like you just have an irrational hatred of Sue for some reason.
>>
>>697935225
>The village hates her through no fault of her own
"I know this might seem cruel but Toroko is one of us. We don't need someone like Sue who only thinks of herself and no one else." -Jack. That phrase clearly shows that Sue already showed what she's like to them.
>Are you confusing her with Kazuma? Because he's the one that does that.
This could not be any more wrong. Kazuma is also a selfish dick but so was Sue, why do you think she wanted to hatch the dragon so much? The only human that actually cared about actually doing something about the Doctor instead of leaving, at least at first, was Booster.
>Sue is even friendly towards King after he was nothing but a dick to her
Well yeah, because she's in a fucking jail cell, and being friendly to him is the only way out, once she's out she immediately tries to escape again but Booster shuts her down.

>That phrase clearly shows that Sue already showed what she's like to them.
Seems like bullshit if you ask me. Toroko liked Sue and, again, Mahin and Kanpachi don't hate Sue. Meanwhile Jack is King's yes-man and it's immediately clear King doesn't like Sue. Sue also says the other Mimigas wanted nothing to do with her.
>This could not be any more wrong. Kazuma is also a selfish dick but so was Sue, why do you think she wanted to hatch the dragon so much? The only human that actually cared about actually doing something about the Doctor instead of leaving, at least at first, was Booster.
Sue wanted to hatch the dragon so that they'd have a way to escape the island. There is however no indication that she ever intended to just take off without everyone else. The first thing she does after finding a hatchable egg is contact her brother and try to get to him. There's also no indication that they just intended to leave and be done with it. They all know that the Doctor intends to use the mimigas to attack the surface, it seems more likely they intended to escape to get help. Booster only puts a stop to their escape plans because he knows that the doctor has already located the red flowers, and he now has the assistance of an armed scout robot.
>Well yeah, because she's in a fucking jail cell, and being friendly to him is the only way out,
Except that the point where she refers to King as her friend is AFTER she was let out of the cell, when she meets Kazuma and Booster in Arthur's house.
>>
>>697937480
>Toroko liked Sue
Because Toroko is just nice by her own nature.
>Meanwhile Jack is King's yes-man and it's immediately clear King doesn't like Sue
King and Jack trusted Quote more than they trusted Sue, it should really speak numbers that they liked a robot, or maybe human in their eyes which they still shouldn't trust, more than they liked someone of seemingly their own race.
>The first thing she does after finding a hatchable egg is contact her brother
Wrong, the first thing she does is try to hatch it immediately, which then gets cockblocked by a password screen and THEN she gets the idea to use her brother's 1337 h4x0r skills.
>Except that the point where she refers to King as her friend is AFTER she was let out of the cell
What else was she gonna refer to him as? "oh you know, just some asshole from the village." *gets locked up again*

Mostly that. The means of being able to make something yourself, and sell it digitally back in the early 2000s was fucking impossible for indies. Steam Greenlight didn't even hit until 2012 and that was a royal pain in the arse still to get your game onto the platform without a publisher backing.
