Cave Story Flash Port

First thing's first. Since I first booted Cave Story, it was love at first sight.

Very few games had ever inspired me as much as Cave Story has.

That aside, I am searching for people interested in a port that has yet to be heard of (to my knowledge).

I am thinking of porting Cave Story to the Adobe Flash.

Are there any developers that have enough expertise to guide me in this project?

I need a team of skilled and willful fans to do this, but the results could be extremely gratifying...

Anyone?

 

Pixel has requested a temporary halt to all homebrew ports of Cave Story. Sorry.

 

But... who cares about Pixel?
What is he gonna do? sue you?
lol.

Just keep going with the Project cause it's nice to see some activity around here.

 

Depends if you don't give a shit about it or respect Pixel's opinion.
Most people don't give a shit about it, when the work comes from another people, they don't know. But when it's master Pixel, then they will insult you.

 

I think this is a very different situation.

Making the game in flash form would simply make it playable by more means, it wouldn't make it a console port. It would still be PC/Mac/Linux, just like the original, with the difference that you could play it in a browser.

I don't see this offending his will in any way, since it would stay essentially the same...

 

Well, are you an experienced flash designer?
You'd also need to get his permission, which a lot of people seem to forget about.

 

I see no reason to make a Flash port. It would basically mean rewriting the game from the bottom up... which doesn't make sense when it's already available for most platforms.

Plus Flash is not really a very versatile medium...

 

Anything that could come out of a Flash Cave Story couldn't be good.

Like Celtic said, it would be like basically making the game again, except downgraded.

You'd need to remove a lot of things to make it successful on Flash.
