Cave Story 2?

So, I read the interview between the people working on Cave Story 3D and Gamesradar (link, page 3) a couple days ago. Towards the end of the interview they asked Pixel if he was, or would, consider making a sequel to Cave Story, and he said that he is "now thinking that maybe it’s time to start thinking about a sequel for Cave Story". I was just wondering what you guys here thought of a sequel.

Personally, I don't really to see how a sequel would work out, since it would likely be very different from the original, due to most things in the game were resolved... Though, a prequel, however, I would find to be quite interesting for the past events mentioned, hinted at, and alluded to throughout the game.

So... What are your thoughts on a sequel or prequel to Cave Story?

 

It may have been discussed.

The "Cave Story 2?" thread was pretty awful, but we did manage to get some discussion in edgewise. Basically, we're doubtful it will happen because of conflicting information from Pixel. Up until that interview, he said he would never do a sequel, and he said that afterwards too (though that might have been a translation error).

What's a fanboy to think?

 

Pixel is just keeping everything open so if he ever feels like making one then he can... but I doubt he will. He is a busy man and gaming is just his hobby. I think a prequel would be more likely...

 

I'd probably be psyched since cave story is a good game deserving of a sequel.

 

hey was playing cave story on ds and was thinking about what would happen in the sequel. maby radiation or something.

 

Erm...ok.


Kinda random, but ok.

 

Oh look. Another Cave Story 2 thread.
I wonder how many times we'll have to go over why it won't be made.

Look, I'm rather new here, and I know he means.

It won't happen. There, I've said my peace.

(Also, if this post is being quoted in a future where Cave Story 2 actually happened...) Hello future people! Can humans fly yet?

 

Anyways, if there was a second "Cave Story" It would need to be a prequel as to allow all three endings to be canon.
Now, I wouldn't be against a prequel, but I do agree with Pixel's adage of "better left to the imagination". Plus we would have so many less awesome prequel mods.

Yep. We do it in things called Airplanes. Isn't it amazing?

But yeah, I am even newer. And I know what he means. Anyway, if you really want a sequal with radiation and stuff, you could dowload Sue's Workshop or CaveEditor, watch tutorial videos, and make a demo of a mod. If you can do that, then I will be interested. If you want to, you could also explain what you mean by 'radiation'. Frankly, there are a million different plots that could involve radiation. Which one do you mean?

So you are saying that Cave Story 2 was announced? *checks Google* Then why isn't there anything for it? [/Sarcasm]

 

In a desperate attempt to save myself, I will say: Cave Story; A Lost Land. (It is kinda Cave Story 2. Just not by Pixel) or Cave Story + (It includes new things.)

This and this and this.

Mods represent cave story "sequels". I'd prefer that pixel didn't make a canon one because honestly, it wouldn't live up to expectations (and maybe it would hurt the modding community, as aqm inferred). I like that he invests his time in a wide variety of games, and I hope good things will come of that.

 

Exactly.

As fun as sequels are, I'd rather have a totally new game of equal caliber to Cave Story from Pixel.

 

I thought about posting something like that, but I couldn't find a way to say it. If Pixel created a game with the same amount of effort, now he could achive so much more. And he might not code it in Assembly.

 

It has to be coded in something.

 

And he might not code it in Assembly.

?
Cave Story is coded in C++.

Ooo. Misinformation.

Who told you that, the village idiot?

 

Sorry for being off topic of your conversation Shimmy

I'm responding to the OP

 

A man after mine own heart.
I agree completely.
