I'm just curious as to what happened to the guy. I've read his blogs and stuff, but it all comes to an end soon after he released Cave Story PSP RC1.

How did he convince Pixel to hand over the source code for Cave Story? Was the Mac port built from original source, as well? I'm just curious about this whole affair, since there doesn't seem to be much info floating around.

He made a demo without the source, showed it to Pixel, Pixel gave him the source, ufo_z then proceeded to make the port.

I had already read that blog entry. But thanks, anyway, andwhyisit. The real question which lingers is "What happened to him?" So far as I can see, the interwebs just swallowed him up like so many others.

I'm eternally grateful for his work, though.
