      +John Segway Considering Cave Story is one of the most famous Indie game successes and in many ways popularized the idea even way before Minecraft, I don't think Pixel or Cave Story will be forgotten any time soon. It's a pretty romantic tale, really. An amateur programmer wants to make a game, and spends five whole years doing programming, writing characters and plot, painting graphics, and composing music, all by himself, and the result is beautiful. Not only does he get recognized, but his game gets picked up by a major publisher and gets several remakes that do mostly aesthetic overhauls, keeping the game itself and story mostly intact. It's the ultimate video game rags-to-riches success story. (Honorable mention to Notch with Minecraft, but a team grew around it so it lacks the "all on my own" romanticism, and it isn't the kind of game that people usually think about when they dream of making a game. Plus, Cave Story happened first, before Indie games were on a commercial rise)
      Regardless of anyone's opinions of the game, its place in video game history is undeniable. It really proved, definitively, that all you need to create a fantastic game is enough creative vision and dedication. It proved it to everyone, too--not just consumers, but other potential Indie developers, but most importantly the big publishing companies. Not only do we have mass, popular digital distribution services like Steam to publish indie games, we also have software like Unreal Engine 4, which is completely (and legitimately) free of charge--until you're successful, after which you start paying a modest royalty fee. It's amazing that a big software company like Epic Games, which used to sell Unreal Engine licenses to developers for thousands of dollars, has switched to this super-accessible business model just because they recognize the commercial viability of the small teams and hobbyist amateurs. Pixel built something almost from the ground-up that was on-par with many handheld games of the time, and that cascaded until we now have BIG name tools for FREE to create our visions.
      Pixel and Cave Story may not be as widely-known as Notch and Minecraft, but I think they caused bigger ripples in the game industry. Maybe not in general media and culture outside of video games, but Cave Story's indirect influence on the game industry specifically is mind-boggling. I daresay that, without Cave Story, the Indie scene would be *years* behind where it is now. Considering the sheer number of Indie games that cite Cave Story as their inspiration, or that cite games that cite Cave Story as inspiration, it's just a massive butterfly effect. There's almost no way to tell what games have long chains of inspirations that can be traced back to Cave Story. The whole "Retreaux" aesthetic of mimicking old-school graphics and sounds is probably inspired by Cave Story, which was pretty far behind its big-publisher contemporaries in terms of aesthetic resources. A ton of Indie games with this aesthetic style cites Cave Story as an inspiration, and tons more that DON'T list Cave Story probably got the idea from a game that DID get it from Cave Story.
      And that's just the most visible example. Cave Story may not have been the first of its kind, but whatever happened with lucky timing or some other sweet spot, I think it definitely lodged itself firmly in the history books of the game industry. *Especially* Indie games, but I think it'll gain even more recognition as time goes on and the people who track video game history get a better big-picture idea of the industry's developments.

    You know what? Cave Story should have a prequel rather than a sequel. How quote and curly ended up on the island, how ballos became...well a ferris wheel of eyes, how kazuma, the doctor, and all those people came and researched, how the doctor betrayed them. I'm most interested in seeing how the robot war on the surface came about and how quote and curly got seperated.

    • @snapcracklebop
      @snapcracklebop 10 років тому +159

      And adding to this idea, how Arthur became the hero he is famed and how he defeated the Red Demon. Also, how the Mimiga came to know about the red flowers, how they knew and dealt with the Robot War... basically another side of the story seen from a Mimiga point of view. Some of these plot points were mentioned, but not shown. A prequel would definitely be the best option to showing these events happening.

    • @pieguy159
      @pieguy159 10 років тому +37

      What should the main character(s) of the prequel be (the character(s) that are controlled by the player)?
      I say Quote, Curly, or Arthur.

    • @snapcracklebop
      @snapcracklebop 10 років тому +54

      It would be really cool if the prequel is to have two playable characters: Quote for the human/robot perspective of the story and Arthur for the Mimiga perspective. The story could shift between the two characters, and at the point when Arthur is killed, Quote's perspective takes over for the entire game.
      I imagine that Curly is also a main character, but the computer controls her during the "Destroy the crown" portion of the prequel. Just like Cave Story!
      oh man talking about a possible prequel makes me so excited

      I guess I expected more from a guy who had such powerful magic that without even focusing it but just letting it loose he destroyed a kingdom. He should've shown off that magic a lot more.
      I mean, the moment Ballos enters his second form was cool, but then he just hopped around dumbly.
      I do understand that this was likely near the end of development, but for the finale it should be a fight actually worth fighting.

    Quote would seriously work in Smash Bros with his own booster gimmick.
    Give him attacks and everything based on his weapons in the game, and then allow a function similar to how Quote moves in Cave Story, where you jump into the air, point a direct, and press jump again. Instead of him double jumping, he could use the 2.0 booster. Either that, or he could use the 0.8 booster, and have a jump similar to Lucas's, Ness's, and Mewtwo's second jump. Not as cool as the 2.0 idea, but come to think of it 2.0 would make him SERIOUSLY top tier and OP as all hell.

    • @765craven4
      @765craven4 8 років тому +6

      The 2.0 idea wouldn't be that strong unless he was able to go quite a distance with it. Would his up special be the machine gun since it's his only method of upward movement without a jump+booster? He could be awesome in Smash but really awkward to implement due to his lack of any actual melee combat, his only melee weapon is the blade and he still throws that like a dagger. Even Megaman has some melee attacks in his arsenal (even in his games, think smash kick or top spin) while Quote has none, so if the devs wanted him in Smash they'd have to get creative.

    • @DaDerpyBro
      @DaDerpyBro 8 років тому

      Fishin' Lakitu I'm thinking the blade could be like a short bit of distance for his side smashes and down smashes. They've got range, but it isn't much. So it should be treated like that in-game. It would be a Level 2, since it has the least range.
      765Craven Since he doesn't really have a way of going higher without those tools, maybe they could use Up-B for something else instead, similar to how they did Jigglypuff.
      Or, perhaps, maybe he could have a possibility similar to that of the Dair of Megaman in SSF2.
      If you don't know, SSF2's Megaman has a Dair that pushes him up a tad. Perhaps we can make that with a level 3 machine gun, that pushes him up a bit more than MM's Dair would, to increase his recovery.

      That could work, though if they made him able to use it for extended periods of time (how it is in Cave Story) it would be seriously broken. I'm sure they wouldn't make it that way, maybe 4-5 shots for a little bit of distance, or maybe it would just extend his airtime a little bit, kinda like Lucarios down air in Brawl.

    • @DaDerpyBro
      @DaDerpyBro 8 років тому

      765Craven Perhaps they would just add the 0.8 Booster instead, making a jump similar to Mewtwo's. Whether the 2.0 booster goes a long distance or not, it'd be pretty overpowered in itself.

      And the problem with the remixes is that all of them, made years after the game came out, years after everyone knew that the Sacred Grounds was the path to the true ending where the island doesn't fall and you fly off into the sunset, already know the answer. Whether it's the heavy synths from DM Dokuro's remix or the electric guitar from GaMetal's remix, they come out swinging with the first few notes hitting like a punch to the face and the promise that the rest of the song will be just as bombastic, with the melody overtaking the percussion.
      But the original doesn't do that. Flash back to when the game first came out, the first time you would have heard this. You have no idea why you're going in here. Obviously, as a game, you know there's something to "beat" here, but you have no idea what's going to happen; this place could become your tomb *whether you win or not*. This isn't heroic, it's suicide, and the game knows it. That's why the melody gets overpowered by the percussion; you know there's music playing, but it's drowned out by the beating of your heart in your ears. Only later, about the time you get to the falling rocks room, or the long combat corridor, when there's no time for doubt anymore does the melody rise in volume to match the percussion; it's go time. But it's not overpowering or bombastic - this is a determined, focused chorus as you fight for your life for reasons you don't really know.
      I do agree that you get the vibe of time running out and people counting on you from the original as well, but I feel like it never loses that uncertain edge, that you might be the only ones who don't get a happy ending if and when you succeed, especially since you already had a taste of a "bad ending" when Curly gets washed away after the core.

    This along with "On to Grasstown" and "Eyes of Flame" are without the shadow of a doubt the greatest musical pieces in all of Cave Story.
    It starts off sort of slow as you make your way down to Hell, while slowly learning of the foreboding chronicle that is Ballos. At the end of the long room you find Curly and as you enter the door to the huge decomposing hallway, BAM 0:45 kicks in and all hell breaks loose.
    Greatest musical moodsetter in the history of ever, seriously.

    So I recently got back into Cave Story to get the best ending. While the music and section are badass, my favorite part is how all this information is thrown at you about Ballos. Every time you enter the next section, a little text is shown to give you some of the backstory. I think it's my favorite. The music is blasting, and you're doing your best not to lose all your health, this text about a mysterious person who has only been named once keeps appearing keeping your heart going. Cave Story is easily one of my favorite games for multiple reasons, this is one of them

      Ground attacks use the polar star (with the exception of down tilt and down smash, which use the blade), and air attacks also use the blade. Both are modelled after it's level 1 form.
      Standard B: Nemesis, starts off with small range, low damage an knockback, but at 50% it goes to it's level 2 form where it deals more damage, has higher knockback and range. At 100%, it goes to it's level one form with further increased damage, knockback, and range.
      Side B: Fireball, one use shoots one, and up to three can be on screen at once. Disappears after a short time or upon hitting an enemy. Bounces along the ground. Modelled after it's level 2 form.
      Up B: Machine Gun: Shoots a continuous fire of lightly damaging shots for a short time. While on the ground, he shoots above him, while in the air he shoots below him, propelling him upwards. Can change directions like villager's Up B, but doesn't last nearly as long. Modelled after it's level 3 form.
      Down B: While holding, charges the bubbler with up to 18 bubbles circling around him.
      Press again to release them in the direction you are facing. Doesn't do much damage or knockback. Modelled after it's level three form.
      When grabbing opponents, his pummel is the level one blade. All his throws except his down throw are all followed up by the level two polar star, much like how fox and falco use their laser in their grabs.

      Well, yeah. There' s a lot of similarities, so I bet he could have POSSIBLY taken some story elements from Cave Story.
      1. The main race is a race of monsters.
      2. The game takes place in an underground region.
      3. Some of the monsters are nice and civil, while others aren't as sentient.
      4. The ending takes place as the character leaves that underground region.
      5. In both games, there is a dark form of power allowing people to live after death, and be like a complete god.
      So, he could have taken story elements. Though, in terms of gameplay, it's nowhere similar.
      And plus, the whole point on your pacifist, neutral, and genocide interactions with the characters in Undertale are completely his own idea. I haven't exactly heard of another person do that.

    I remembered the first time I played running hell. It took me an hour to get past the spikes at the beginning. After I finally did it I somehow managed to get myself to the first boss battle without dying. When I confronted the boss though, I got annihilated. I didn't play for a few days after that.

    I can imagine Quote having a higher-quality, proportional sprite to use in the Scott Pilgrim vs The World game. Quote would be awesome in that..
