I don't think I've seen any do it other than Ordeal Pillar, Headman 1-2 and that pizza mod by Safusaka. If it really is that rare, then I hope that more people give it a try even if it's just simple stuff. If you don't know much about Orgmaker, look up some tutorials or guides or go to mlurker's orgmaker discord. Here's a link to the thread: https://www.cavestory.org/forums/threads/the-unofficial-orgmaker-discord-server.14363/
Now I haven't checked but I definitely don't think there's any themes from Ordeal Pillar that were transcribed into Orgmaker and I think they were all original so correct me if I'm wrong.
I know this would probably be for the music section but bear with me here.
I'm bringing this up because I think we've all heard enough of the cave story tracks playing in mods and at this point it's just like "yeah cool I know that one". It's nothing impressive but it doesn't really dampen a mod experience. There's countless good mods that have normal music in them i.e Jenka's Nightmare, Sue's Story (those are pretty subjective but just roll with it) or maybe a more modern example like Another Cave Story Sequel! The main point I'm trying to make here is that original music can go a long way in making a mod feel new. I think I speak for most of us when I say that we've all felt some sort of indescribable magic when playing a really good mod for the first time. A lot of those probably had just bog-standard cave story music in the background which a lot of us probably just put to the wayside while playing them. My first mod was Aqua Barrier and I think actually played that before Cave Story and to this day I don't remember how I managed to do that. Past mistakes aside, my first major mod that I played before Jenka's Nightmare was Ordeal Pillar (or vice versa I don't remember). I haven't played it in forever, but I know that the music made it feel like a new experience. Like I said earlier, I haven't checked if it was from something else, but above that, it was actually really well transcribed if that was the case. It sounded incredible in Orgmaker which I think looking back now, I haven't heard such well produced orgs since I played Headman. The fact that it was a passion project really shows and looking back on it, I commend the amount of effort that was put into it. I should probably play Ordeal Pillar again someday...
Anyway, I hope that more people decide to integrate music into their mods. All it takes is to make a track, ask how to use org adder and bam, you have successfully made music for your mod. It doesn't matter if it isn't good either if you're starting out. You just have to try it out and see what happens.
