not with that attitude dan is the driving force in contemporary cave story theorizing and while their theories may not always account for all the details, there is no reason not to treat them as earnest attempts to better understand the game. find joy in your heart

this is a good theory. ive always preferred the theory that the 4 frenzied mimiga on the balcony are the colons, tho

dan, have you considered the possibility of uranium influencing the development of any other NPCs in cave story? I think you may be onto something with that. does it have any relation to the red flowers?

To put it simply: don't get your hopes up. I can't say much more than that.

I think it's a relic of Nicalis starting with AGTP. There's old footage of Wiiware saying "Sacred Grounds - B1" and such. There's another pair of maps with the same issue. Prefab Building and Prefab House. Nice to see you too btw, I've been keeping an eye on things again since I'm working on a...

in fact, there's no such thing as a non-hidden Last Cave. Last Cave (Hidden) is the only room with "Last Cave" in its name. Are you thinking of Final Cave?

Nicalis has a long history of being very supportive of the modding community. I'm very hopeful that they'll be willing to work with the maintainers and come to an agreement that makes everybody happy.

In short, the maintainers will be reaching out to Nicalis directly in an attempt to work out some kind of arrangement with them. I wouldn't expect much in the way of news for several days, as correspondence like this takes time.

I assure you that it need not be so drastic. There are several courses of action available, none of which require Nicalis giving up any sort of rights.

For the record, the maintainers of the most important CSE2 branches are working on a plan of action to restore the project. I'm pretty hopeful that things will go well, and all will be back to normal in no time.

in case anybody was wondering, I'm the one who said this, and the ex employee I'm talking about is also a longstanding member of this forum. I'll let you decide whether I'm more credible than the brand new 2 post account trying to discount my claims

Hey, if you're still interested, I'm looking for a few MyChars using CS characters. Think you could make a King one? With Mimiga Mask alt, please!

yeah, what a bad choice by pixel. it's not like the revenue he earned from the commercial releases of cave story allowed him to quit his job and become a full time game developer or anything --- nicalis owns the rights to cave story because pixel sold them to the company

CS+ mods can be distributed if you use Plus Porter to make a patch afaik

significant design flaws in cave story: 1) jellyfish juice 2) puppies 3) very precise and unforgiving jump in labyrinth B (this is less offensive because at least you get a save point to reset with) 4) very precise and unforgiving jump to the waterway house 5) "Leave her here?" #1, #2, and #4...
