When'd he say this?
And it makes sense. Cave Story gains nothing from having a blank slate player character.

Not that Quote should've talked, but he could've shown more emotion
>>284626845
How? He's, like, a hundred pixels in total.

American education everybody
>>284627910
the answer for 14x14 is 196 dumbass. He is right unless you were looking for the closer answer of 200.

>Before dying from old age, this professor met a lost Mimiga (Igor). Igor loved and respected the professor and continued the work. At a later time, though, Igor ate a red flower. Players see the result pretty early on in the game.
Why does Pixel love killing innocent rabbits so much, /v/?

About a hundred of the pixels are empty. The other hundred make up Quote.
>>284626127
Quiet-characters are designed specifically to make the player fill in their shoes and feel like they're the one making the decisions, not taking backseat to an automated character.
It worked in CS, as it did in many other games (notably Half-Life, BioShock, Pokemon, etc).

I wish Pixel would actually do a new interview, even if he did just turn out to be Miyazaki

>>284627382
Quote's a hundred times the man Amaya is, no wonder he hates him.
>>284626503
Guess it's up to Nicalis to make a sequel if it ever happens. If they do, hope they at least work with ideas from Pixel himself.
At least he still gets time to make other small games every now and then, though.
>>284631368
>it's up to Nicalis to make a sequel
I would rather Cave Story 2 never exist
>>284631368
I don't want a sequel anymore.

>>284631368
just let Toroko rest with her brother in peace.
>>284629960
What about for those who hate self-inserting and want to actually be told a story? Works in MGS. There's a reason people tend to hate the main characters compared to everyone else
>>284631706
I gave up on hell yesterday. I can't git gud.
>>284631368
Reminder that if there was ever a Cave Story sequel,the ending where Curly dies is canon.
>>284632052
You'll just have to deal with it like the people who want self-insertion have to deal with the games that don't offer it.
>>284632213
W-who said that?I think it'd be neat if the "Escape" ending was canon.

Nicalis is a bit more of a greedy jew than Studio Pixel. I'm kind of worried.
>>284632210
Tfw
I guess I'll eventually get around to doing what [>>284633956] did,even if it makes me a casual.
>>284634410
enjoy your ugly yellow hat
>>284633956
They die in one hit why would they be a problem.
And hey Nicalis guys I know you are reading this, we'd rather not have CS2 if you are making it ;)
>>284634298
Surely they wouldn't try to make it without his direction? Surely?
If it's a Nicalis-only thing I'll just skip it altogether.
>>284634567
I'd make a prequel with King, I know it was done in the mod scene but I would've love to see Pixel's version of it....maybe even include a story of Ballos' past, his backstory really intrigued me
>>284634908
I'd like to see the story of Toroko's brother
>>284630132
>wanting a robot brother over a cute mimiga brother instead
Fag
I'd like a new game like Cave Story but with a completely different story
yeah
>>284635023
King is cute! Cute!
>select all pizza below
Fuck you Google
>>284632210
>>284633956
I can teach you guys how to make hell easier if you want. I've done that s-rank and unstoppable as well.
>>284635061
So The Underside?
>>284635061
You played Kero Blaster yet?
Not exactly "like Cave Story" in the mechanical sense, but a good idea of what pixel can still do creatively.
Something with the same floaty feeling and spammy shooting as Cave Story would be amazing as long as Nicalis doesn't pressure the man too far out of his comfort zone. The relationship works best if they provoke him into doing his own thing without taking too much of an active hand, and I'm worried that a full sequel would be too tempting for them to not fuck up.
>>284635614
pls senpai
>>284635471
Definitely best mimiga by far.there was a lewd version of that other image
>>284635760
I haven't yet, thanks for reminding me
>>284635815
How about I do a steam broadcast and explain it?
Would anyone watch that?
>>284635980
sure
>>284635697
If it ever fucking came out, yeah.
>>284635835
Too bad I'm not a faggot. Maybe someday.
>tfw the mimiga get ten times the good fanart that Curly does

Jesus, other people still remember this?
Lee hasn't updated his blog in two years now. Even then, he hasn't worked on that particular game publicly in forever. Shit was pretty tight despite the obvious inspiration/thievery.
It's really weird. He used to be a minor celebrity on par with pre-fez Phil Fish or Adam Atomic until he just sorta fell off the face of the earth.
I kind of liked how he took the Cave Story formula and pushed it into the realms of an actual Metroidvania, even if it wasn't the most original thing out there. He was one of the better indyshitters of his time.
>>284636503
I've living under a rock, but, since when you can watch videos on steam?
>>284637001
it's pretty new, come check it out. you just need to look at my profile and click 'watch game'. i'm still learning how to use it myself.
>>284635980
Or you could just tell us, you fucking attention whore
>>284636402
he definitely gets the best art
I would dump my all my king art but I'm lazy
>>284637443
that's a lot of tactics to type out.
>>284636503
Didn't you try something like this in a previous thread?Didn't you fail?
Anyway, I'll watch.
>>284635061
Try out the Momodora series.
>>284635023
>king will never be your loveable, yet abrasive sidekick/pet
I wasn't ready for these thoughts.
>>284637443
watching this made me realize than I don't have to beat Hell in 290 seconds.
I'm an admin on the Cave Story wiki, anybody here who's browsed it in the past? Any thoughts/suggestions?
>Cave Story + still crashes on launch in OS X 10.9+ with no fix in sight
>Nicalis
>ever
>>284633378
Seems like an intentional joke given the other filenames, but who knows, could be a real hint as well.
At least don't tease us for no reason.
>>284636836
How can I forget the guy that made Merry Gear? I really wish he'd just make The Underside, or something else that was original, or even just fun to play.
>>284638263
Have you talked enough shit about Nicalis' negligence? (>>284638308)
>>284637792
>he gets flustered when you try to show any affection
It'd be really cute.
>>284638308
machine gun trial will always crash the game in Steam.
And I tried that shit in XP, win7 and 8
>>284632052
Play as Curly then.
>>284625640
>If you were to design Cave Story now, what would you do differently?
When Nicalis emailed me about a localisation I'd delete the email.
Do something with Arthur.

I do browse it occasionally. I think you guys should add the American artworks to some of the character pages since they still are official, and add some info for differences in CS+ (like missiles being removed on Hard, which isn't mentioned Ed anywhere on the wiki).
>>284638874
I bet you think Nicalis stole all the money, right?
>>284638263
Hey I remember the first time the wiki got set up. Fun times.
As long as it ain't changed much since before the Wii version, it's probably still pretty good. I've consulted it more than a few times for some reason or another.
>>284639076
>I bet you think Nicalis stole all the money, right?
No just think they milked it to death with all their shitty 3D versions and HD versions. Cheapened the game.
>>284638993
>American artworks
You mean these?
It's funny you should say that, I'm actually focusing on the wiki's images right now. I've been adding sprites and concept art all day. And I'll look into those differences you mentioned.
>>284638473
If that's a known problem that many people have had, I'm sure I could add something.
>>284639076
It's just, that of all the people who can speak enough Japanese to contact pixel formally, why did it have to be the one company that's so out of touch with what makes the game so appealing to begin with?
Like, I'm sure any old anon from around here would have done a better job of facilitating a proper setup, if only they held the same status.
I get the impression that it's not something they're even really aware of. Like, they think they're doing this cool thing for the community, but in reality they're slowly bastardizing what made it appealing in the first place.
It's like they're just slightly out of sync with what pixel's fans really want.
That or they're legitimately evil for exploiting the man's work like that, but I'd like to keep an optimistic view.
>>284635980
>>284636503
Thanks for watching people, I hope that was helpful. For some reason the game crashes whenever you complete a challenge.
If there are any questions feel free to ask.
>>284640062
I really don't understand what people's deal is with Cave Story+, it's the same game, they stayed perfectly true to the original graphics, they stayed true to the original text, you can easily use the AG translation if you want, you have several options for the music...
What did they do wrong, exactly?
>>284639506
Yup that artwork. It would be nice to have that aoo gside the Jap artwork too, just for informative purposes. Other than that and some info on differences in CS+ and all, it's pretty well organized anyways.
Keep up the good work, I would like to help too but I'm unsure how.
>>284640086
Will you be streaming again sometime soon anon? I couldnt attend this time.
>>284637713
I did it once before ~2days ago when I was doing (terrible) attempts and a few people turned out, but otherwise no.
>>284640697
it's not something I do regularly... I guess I could do it again if a few more people were interested.
>>284640302
Their translation is fucking cancer.
Screen tearing out the ass
Some new models are fucked, like how Curly keeps her mouth open for some reason.
Fucked the framerate.
>>284639506
Both the steam and Humble bundle versions have the problem.
