When I first saw this, I my immediate thought was that this had already been done before, and I was thinking back on those threads that X-Calibar linked to. But now that I look back at those, I realize that most of them aren't as thorough as yours is, and many of them were from before Wind...

I kinda touched on this in the "What is Jack's Fate?" thread, but I guess it may make sense to talk about that again here. It surprises me how many people are convinced that the enraged Mimiga on the balcony is Igor. I've always felt the simpler explanation is that Igor died, and that Pixel was...

Interesting little observation you've made here about the victimless crime that NICALiS technically might be committing. If I were looking to indict NICALiS on copyright infringement for using Aeon Genesis content for commercial purposes, though, I think this bug in the 2011 HIB would be a much...

Point taken, it's been years since I played Cave Story, so you may very well be correct in your assessment that LVL 3 blade is the better tool for the job than the Spur. In any case, nothing wrong with using your imagination with this theory.

So, to answer the up-front question of what I think, I think this theory makes a lot of far-reaching assumptions, so I don't really buy it, especially given your acknowledged point that we have no reason to believe that King or any of the Mimigas even knew that Ballos existed. But to a more...

You did a good job of summarizing the main known and previously discussed details surrounding this topic in the opening post, so there's not much to add. I've always assumed that Jack survived. Obviously, we don't see him alive in the credits, but you make a really good point about Pixel's style...

Okay, so on one hand I could try to blame this on Windows for evolving in the way that it scales applications, but ultimately, the underlying problem here is that I made a bad design choice when building out the UI. So generally what you're supposed to do is make your UI components scalable and...

Cool, I'll be excited to see how things evolve as you continue to make improvements. And yeah, I definitely feel you that the original graphics leave a lot of details to the imagination, and filling in those details in a way that looks good and believable is an art in and of itself. That's no...

11 years ago, this was considered a pipe dream. But now look. So while the effort here is definitely significant, part of me does feel as if more detail could be added in some of these up-scaled sprites and facepics and tilesets. Which I guess leads into a couple of questions I have. One is...

Wow, this is unexpected to find an old build sitting around all these years later. Kudos to this guy for hanging onto it. I'll be intrigued to see what all the differences are between these early builds and the finished product that we're all used to playing.

Are you seeing this? Any idea what's going on?

I always assumed that those angel statues were some sort of representation of the religious lore of either the mimigas, or whatever race originally inhabited that area of the island. Maybe it was put there by the Cthulhus? Maybe they had their own separate history, and the angel statue is some...

Hm, interesting, I never thought of the Red Ogre as a let-down, since it felt like an appropriate mini-boss for a more challenging version of last cave. But, I get what you're saying that he is less significant than a lot of other boss fights. I agree with X-Calibar's analysis about his...

I'm way behind on mods that I've been meaning to play, so since I had some free time, I decided this would be a good place to start because it's such low-hanging fruit. I was never very good at Guitar Hero, but this was a fun little mod. In fact, for something with such narrow gameplay, this...

Yes, that's correct, <FOM0016 is what the original game does.

Heh, that second one is kind cute, with the way that they're pulling apart and looking a bit embarrassed as if someone just walked in on them during a festive make out session. And the joint drool is a nice touch that captures the feeling of it being kinda gross but also showing a clear...

I'd need more details on exactly what change you made, whether it was with Resource Hacker, OllyDbg, or some other application, and if you remember what change you made. Short of that, it's always best to backup your game, because even when you're being careful, things can go wrong and you can...

That is pretty good. I like the expression on Misery's face. It suggests that she's relaxing and feeling comfortable, and yet seemingly pondering something or maybe sharing an intimate moment with someone who's out of frame. I also like the fog effect of the heat coming from her cup of what...

Oh that's awesome! The ones in the previous post were okay, but I love the one of Misery blowing snow out of her hands. It's simple, yet the visuals are really captivating and expressive. I especially like the effect of the snow blowing out of her hands in fragments, that was really well done...

Cool, do you know Japanese? If you know Japanese and are going to make a Japanese translation, feel free to share it, and if it's functional, I'd be happy to update the OP of this thread with a link to it.

Yeah, CS+ modding isn't super widely supported partially because freeware modding was already fairly established by the time WiiWare came long, and also due to copyright issues that make more in-depth CS+ mods get into more murky legal territory, so it's not a very large area of interest for a...

So, I can speak to CS+ since I've worked with that a lot. There are a bunch of different versions of CS+ around, so I don't know if this has changed, but with the version I've worked with, it's possible to add new org songs without replacing existing ones in the "Original" soundtrack. As for...

That's an interesting thought, using the Cave Story soundtrack for that purpose. When I was in high school, I experimented around a bit with listening to soft music when falling asleep or as an alarm to wake up, and what I found is that that experience will taint my mental associations of that...
