I've only recently discovered Cave Story (I'm late, I know) and decided to do a dump of all the maps in the game because I liked the game enough to see the whole Cave Story world, and because it was easy to work out the file formats. Anyway, here's all the maps in PNG format (download is roughly 5MB).
http://homepage.mac.com/andy.herbert/.Public/CS/Cave%20Story%20Maps.zip
In addition, I discovered 2 additional maps, one of which is called "Cook" which I am assuming isn't actually used but was still included with the final release since I can find no reference to it in the main program.
Can anybody verify this (image immediately below)?
The second one is very strange inasmuch as it is referenced by the executable, and the name of the map is used in the game (Main Artery), but it really isn't anything like the actual map (Main Artery appears in the game in the fish boss battle immediately after the Waterway section:
Also, I've grouped the PNGs in to (roughly) the area they appear in, obviously this is quite difficult because some areas blend in to one another and by no means perfect.
Eventually what I plan to do with the images is produce a massive poster linking the maps together (as far as that is possible) and maybe adding features as they appear in the game.
Any advice/critism will be gratefully received.
