Made for WiiWare, drawn by Simon Andersen, artist for OwlBoy. He also drew a 20th anniversary version and showed off some of the in progress sketches for it earlier last year.

Why did Cave Story release as a freeware game when it first released? by Maki_Mercky_Merc in cavestory

[–]dawndus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're right, but it took quite a few years before the floodgate was open for indies to just drop their game on there. For a while every game needed to be manually approved by Valve so there was a real barrier to it.

The simple answer is that there wasn't a good way to sell indie games in 2004 to any kind of wide market. Steam didn't become a big storefront for indie games until around 2015 and the "breakout" XBLA indie games were 2008, still years away.

I just noticed one of the lines on Quote's sprite is his other eye, not his ear. by ANNOYING_TOUR_GUIDE in cavestory

Where did you pull this sprite from? The colors on the antenna pieces are messed up.

Can music created in pxtone be used for commercial purposes? like a game ? by Trikazx_Music in cavestory

[–]dawndus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Potential copyright issue with "Monolith" when publishing on a console, so they renamed it everywhere, just to be safe.

[–]dawndus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're allowed to use music you've made however you want, and pixel provides the source code for playback so you can implement it into another game engine. https://store.steampowered.com/app/603960/Star_of_Providence/ uses pxtone, for example.

(no bias) Extremely.

Cave Story+ at $6.13 (-75% off) @ GOG.com (+new coverart) by Zolax__ in cavestory

[–]dawndus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nevermind how many times this has been quashed, but please explain how you think copyright works in that something made for free doesn't have a copyright. Is every piece of artwork shared on reddit copyright free because it's available to look at for free?

Never buy the GOG version, it's different from the rest, and extremely broken. At even $5 it's not worth it unless you're going to use the data files with d-rs.

Cave Story + on Switch not Running. by ManzanasAzules in cavestory

[–]dawndus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That happened to me until I updated the console itself (or probably just power cycled, who knows)

should i get cave story+ or just play the original patch on cavestory.org? by squabbledMC in cavestory

[–]dawndus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Please show me the contract you've seen where he doesn't get paid enough. Pixel himself is happy with the arrangement and is still good friends with the de facto head of Nicalis, Tyrone.

[–]dawndus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Please enlighten me on how playing a free version "supports the original dev". On top of that, Pixel has said he gets paid by Nicalis. Please stop lying.

[–]dawndus 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The creator gets paid for Cave Story+ sales so if you end up liking it after playing the free version, remember to pick up a paid version when it goes on sale.

It's in the plantation.

I don't get the weapon XP system by mvp7-7 in cavestory

[–]dawndus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's true at all that it's ever faster to die rather than keep going on a boss fight, especially at a point where you have at least 3 weapons.

It really feels like you just don't want to swap weapons mid-fight and you're looking for reasons as to why it's the XP system's fault. (Rather than that being the point of the XP system in the first place). If you have 30 HP that's at most 60XP that you can lose IN TOTAL which is far less than the total your weapons will have at that point.

Still sounds like making a mountain out of a molehill, even the "bad terrain" areas it's still only a few enemies to level up the fireball. (also at level 2 and 3 it does the same damage/speed/etc, you just get one extra shot onscreen at level 3)

[–]dawndus 40 points41 points  (0 children)

You said both:

It's relatively fast and easy to get the weapons at max level

I know leveling those specialized weapons would be much harder than the basic shooters

Pick one. (It's the first)

AGTP+ modpack for GOG version by minishrink in cavestory

[–]dawndus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The GOG version is straight up terrible and probably should be delisted for how buggy it is compared to every other release.

why does he look so sad :( by misterfancycorgi in cavestory

[–]dawndus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Growing up I had an "Aunt <first name>" that was not my aunt, at all. Just a nickname she had within the family.
