Hello.

Around three weeks ago, I left every Cave Story Discord server. Some people may have noticed and wondered why exactly I did. I now might as well give an explanation.

To put simply, Cave Story has kind of been ruined for me, due to being jealous of everyone in the community and my depression causing me to destroy my reputation and screw myself over.
I don't really enjoy talking in this community anymore, and most of time, I wouldn't be in a good mood at all, or I'd see something that makes me jealous and upset.
I tried to fix myself and move forward, but there was a last straw that made me completely give up on everything.
So, I've decided to be a bit more distant from the Cave Story community indefinitely so I won't see, hear, or remember as many things that upset me as often.
As of late, I've been mainly talking in the Ori community, and I don't get upset as often when talking there. I'm sometimes in a bad mood when talking there, but the people there are so kind and wholesome, and they don't get frustrated with me like in this community.

That's kind of basically it. I hope you understand.

Let me make it clear that Cave Story is still my favorite game of all time, but I just don't to see or hear anything about the community anymore.

@Orbit Just letting you know, there's nowhere else for me to go and I lost the ability to be happy.

:c I'm positive you'll find a place you'll fit into, though it might take some searching. As for the thing about happiness, I dunno how to respond to that, but let's both hope that life will give you something to be happy about.
Man, simply looking back here after so long makes me feel so old... and pleasantly nostalgic. I was linking Ordeal Pillar to a couple friends since they didn't know I modded games, and figured I'd peek my head in far enough to say something. Not dead yet; just lurking, being busy elsewhere, and trying to, well, exist. The world's making that last one hard, though.
I'm trying to think of how one could make vanilla elements of cave story into a metroidvania without explicitly just using flags with items/events

You have things like breaking blocks and natural HP requirements but I'm not sure what else off the top of my head.

Some smart flag usage could also use the timer for something.
Combine it with any ways to make sections faster and...

damage boosting? idk, sounds counterintuitive to force a player to take damage to progress.

I do think a cave story mod without using <FLJ flags is possible, tho. You just really gotta think outside the box, cuz some of them (like <MPJ) take a byte's worth of memory, rather than the bits that <FLJ flags use, and some of them even have a hard limit.
I keep forgetting this site exists.

Nothing here changes as much now, take away 2-3 years and it's probably still the same.
i made a cs randomizer stream setup but nobody is going to watch that sort of thing

the masculine urge to make a cs mod only to give up ten minutes in

I know of at least one person that would watch a CS-rando stream
i can't post any recent progress on evergreen cause it's all spoiler heavy, but rest assured i'm still actively working on it!

no promise on a release date, but i'm close to done with designing the new area - i need to implement a boss, draw some CGs, then the sequence to return back to the hub - and after that it's just polishing, polishing and more polishing (and harassing my friends into bugtesting it for me) until a public release!

I just found out there's a backup of Doukutsu Uploader called Cave Shelter? Was this common knowledge?

Bless the person who saved some stuff from Doukutsu Uploader. Including mods like Japanese Cave Story 2, Iron Bond, and the 4th demo release of WTF Story

The 2010 and earlier backup was a response to the DU only keeping the most recent 1000 files (after the DU hit 1000 files old stuff started disappearing). So the earliest stuff on the DU was lost by the time Cave Shelter was set up. The 2010-2018 archive was clearly a response to the DU going down after the fact, probably by people pooling together stuff they downloaded. The 2010-2018 archive only contains 58 files, out of a grand total of 1000. That is 950+ files lost from the DU that Cave Shelter didn't back up.
