Ah, that island drawing looks familiar from your previous post, just a bit clearer and sharper. And also I like that drawing of Quote. I like the gradient textures you have in your drawings, it has a nice effect that kind of brings them to life.

Hi Mystery, nice to have you here, and nice to see your interest in forums all these years later, as well as the fact that new people are still discovering Cave Story. Hope you enjoy your stay here.

Okay, so when I first saw this thread, I thought it was just some joke, which maybe it was, but there evidently was a serious element involved here with wanting to re-invigorate some activity on these forums. So, you really stumbled around a lot at the beginning, but now that you've shown that...

I like the shade effect you have where it transitions from Ballos's upper head down to his eyes. For some reason the atmosphere of this picture makes me thing of Dr. Eggman.

Okay gotcha. So I'll admit, the picture itself isn't anything too interesting to look at, but the faded water color effect is kinda cool, so not bad.

Well, generally, the idea behind fan art is to portray the characters in a new and creative way, so if you're going to come up with most of those criticisms for this image, then there are a lot of creative liberties taken with fan art in Cave Story and other works that would break certain rules...

That's a really nice drawing of Toroko, I love the way that the colors and shading blend together into a really rick texture of her fur. For that island drawing, is that whole thing made from scratch, or did you incorporate some photograph of clouds with some outline of the island?

You mean you copied a save file from Zarrotu's remake of Jenka's Nightmare, and stuck it into "Jenka's Nightmare Revived", by LunarSoul/MagicDoors/Doors/Slither? If that's what you're doing, then that doesn't surprise me that you're in some bizarre situation where you're stuck in a wall. Those...

What mod is this?

Oh wow... That is pretty morbid, but also kind of made me giggle.

Oh, nice. I stand corrected then on my assumption that Sonic 2 or S3K influenced Pixel.

If I wanted to draw a parallel between a Cave Story game and a Sonic game, I would have picked out Sonic 3 and Knuckles. Instead of a little planet like we see in Sonic CD, S3K actually has a floating island that is uncannily similar looking to the one in Cave Story (probably influenced Cave...

JayJayJay, I like those, those look really neat and give a unique flare that definitely looks like the style of album art. I'm not very savvy on music though, so I don't recognize which artists or albums any of those pics are referencing, except for one of them that might be a reference to Daft...

Yeah, so I made a tool called Plus Porter that helps port mods to CS+: https://forum.cavestory.org/threads/plus-porter-1-1-0-1.5150/ It's not a perfect tool, there are some things I'd do differently if I made the program today. I was also going to make a video tutorial going more in-depth on...

When I first saw this, my immediate thought was that this had already been done before, and I was thinking back on those threads that X-Calibar linked to. But now that I look back at those, I realize that most of them aren't as thorough as yours is, and many of them were from before Wind...

I kinda touched on this in the "What is Jack's Fate?" thread, but I guess it may make sense to talk about that again here. It surprises me how many people are convinced that the enraged Mimiga on the balcony is Igor. I've always felt the simpler explanation is that Igor died, and that Pixel was...

Interesting little observation you've made here about the victimless crime that NICALiS technically might be committing. If I were looking to indict NICALiS on copyright infringement for using Aeon Genesis content for commercial purposes, though, I think this bug in the 2011 HIB would be a much...

Point taken, it's been years since I played Cave Story, so you may very well be correct in your assessment that LVL 3 blade is the better tool for the job than the Spur. In any case, nothing wrong with using your imagination with this theory.

So, to answer the up-front question of what I think, I think this theory makes a lot of far-reaching assumptions, so I don't really buy it, especially given your acknowledged point that we have no reason to believe that King or any of the Mimigas even knew that Ballos existed. But to a more...

You did a good job of summarizing the main known and previously discussed details surrounding this topic in the opening post, so there's not much to add. I've always assumed that Jack survived. Obviously, we don't see him alive in the credits, but you make a really good point about Pixel's style...

Okay, so on one hand I could try to blame this on Windows for evolving in the way that it scales applications, but ultimately, the underlying problem here is that I made a bad design choice when building out the UI. So generally what you're supposed to do is make your UI components scalable and...

Cool, I'll be excited to see how things evolve as you continue to make improvements. And yeah, I definitely feel you that the original graphics leave a lot of details to the imagination, and filling in those details in a way that looks good and believable is an art in and of itself. That's no...
