This contains information relevant to this thread.
However, it *also* contains a ton of extra information.
Anyway, AFAIR(emember), TvTropes. I saw references to Cave Story, eventually decided to download it.
From the CSTS, I learned about Ikachan.
Having seen NXEngine, I noted that Ikachan didn't have anything similar.
That was the beginning of Ikachan Map Editor.
A whole NXEngine-like thing was too big a scope for me, but I tried(and documented the entity format along the way).
I eventually settled for a map editor, and begun building the basic GUI.
The GUI code at that time was a horrible mess, but it worked.
It was a simple map editor, had the Ikachan entity editor integrated alongside it(although a bit broken).
Finally, I created a account on the CSTSF,and released it, hoping that someone would expand upon the work done in there.
I gave up eventually, became someone who just discusses things.
That's changed recently, but any more is getting way off-topic(so far I've extended this to include joining the CSTSF).
