Weird. Is this just with the OrgPlayer program or also when playing the game?

Big news everyone, we got our first new drawing of Ame since 2023! Pixel is back on Twitter! https://x.com/oxizn/status/1904555783670677585

People have a hard time telling animals apart from each other. It makes sense that it would get confused.

With Cave Story's 20th anniversary coming up in just a few hours, another anniversary should be taken note of. January 30, 2005, 20 years since the English patch for Cave Story was first released.

WTF is going on with spam bots right now?

Happy 2024 Noxid is a sexy beast day! It is a bit bittersweet these days as Noxid has not participated here in multiple years... I am lucky enough to have gotten a DM from Noxid himself in the past (telling me to stop acting like an asshole when I was acting like an asshole). But still, that DM...

Because this is the thread where people were discussing Pixel's twitter account and the one Sue image didn't warrant its own thread Sorry!

This is kinda off topic but this thread is the main place where people are discussing Pixel's twitter account. Does anyone know why this image was deleted? It was uploaded on December 20th 2022 for when Cave Story turned 18 years old. It was really cool to see Pixel draw Sue again, but the...

do you ever look at your old forum posts and you realize you were being an asshole

Wow that’s funny. Just goes to show that great creatives don’t always have the best hardware lol

Let's just remember that Cave Story is a 20 year old game. Windows 11 barely runs it properly, the version on Steam has broken features, and the only good official version on Switch is $30 for a free game. (There are better fan made versions but normies who've never played the game aren't going...

I just tested Ikachan and the results are very cool! Here is the Consumer Slot Mask preset: Here is the Trinitron Preset: And here is a PVM style preset: These do make me appreciate how pretty of a game Ikachan is! The only thing to not is that Ikachan has you choose the settings upon...

TBH I don't think some random 2000's Japanese PC monitor is the "real definitive true" way to play Cave Story. Considering it's 240p resolution and control scheme, it's obviously based on 16 bit games from the Super Nintendo/genesis. Those consoles would have been played on consumer CRTs (the...

I recently got my hands on a Retrotink 4K. For those of you who don't know, Retrotinks are devices that allow you to plug in retro video game systems and have them look pretty on your modern TV. The Retrotink 4K is the fanciest one, scaling retro consoles to 4K, along with having super fancy CRT...

Wait what happened with Rockfish and Starfrog?

Wow, I never thought about it that way

I don't like the new site layout, especially because it makes the link to the Forum a lot smaller, which will make it less likely for newcomers to come here

Because I was lazy lol. I figured that those areas would be "obvious" and that I didn't need to add them. However, I now realize just how few areas I didn't add, and it just made sense to add them. Interestingly, When I put the Seal Chamber there, I kinda notice that It's not really near the top...

Have you ever wondered what Cave Story's floating island looks like all mapped out? Well, I figure I'd take a stab at it. To establish where things are in the map, I used an image of the island from Cave Story+. Then I placed my starting point: The outer wall. The outer wall is very useful...

Well, actually none of the versions using Aeon Genesis assets are still being sold. The only one that is still legally obtainable is Cave Story 3D, and that's only from used copies. However, Cave Story 3DS eShop was sold for over 10 years, so I guess this would be the """copyright...

Fair point. I guess the only evidence they were actually copyrighted in the first place is that Nicalis felt the need to make new versions of those graphics in the first place. If they could use the Aeon Genesis text graphics, why wouldn't they?

Before I get started, none of this actually matters. All the versions of the game that (Might) infringe copyright are not being sold anymore. Do not harass Tyrone or anyone at Nicalis over this. Also, I apologize if this is common knowledge. The original version of Cave Story has several...

Yeah, TBH I never really thought that Jack dying was a reasonable interpretation, until I saw this (Otherwise good) video that randomly claims Jack to be dead like it is an undisputed fact at around the 8:00 mark. This got me thinking about whether we actually know if he's alive or not. I mean...

I just tested this out and to be honest the spur kinda sucks against final Ballos. You have to shoot his rotating eyes to damage him, and the eyes rotate away by the time you charge up another shot. Plus, charging a shot means you are not firing with Curly's nemesis, which with any other weapon...

I feel it's too "coincidental" for it to NOT be the intended strategy. Ballos's final phase is perfect for King's Blade. Some people don't like the lvl 3 Blade and think the lvl 2/1 Blade is better. It's pretty situational, and while there are bosses where the level 3 Blade is effective, I think...
