Hey guys and gals!
So I'm a fan of Cave Story. I'm not going to claim I'm the best at it, nor the smarter than Pixel (in fact, for sure I'm not even as smart as). But regardless, I decided to make a video series called "Reconstructing Cave Story", in which we re-program from ground up Pixel's masterpiece. You can check out the on-going playlist here:

Again. It's only programming. No art/game design/music creation/sound creation. But for those of you who are interested in learning what went into creating a game like Cave Story, this is a great way to see.
You can also check out the official sub-reddit (reddit is super easy to create forums for) at:

If you DO end up watching, and find something different than the original game, please please please let me know. I want to make this a *good* reconstruction. There are so few "complete game" series out there, and I think this is a good resource for people. I would have loved to have a good, complete game series as a beginning programmer, and you can help others to have that!
