2019... I am forgotten

Nicalis rips off the devs and overcharges for games usually. its what that game with the anime girl puzzle platformer is like super expensive despite just being a graphical upgrade.

imagine being this lacking in self-awareness

so this is the power...of ironic shitposting

all of these are highly overrated. None of them are bad per say, but they are not these juggernaut blockbusters that people made them out to be.

still the best auteur made videogame to this day. Still can't believe Pixel learned how to draw well and write his own music and then made an entire full length game and then has the balls to release it for free.

this too, Nicalis is the nintendo of indie publishers with how they will do something super fucking shady but then just cover it up by putting Curly in something and yelling about how cute she is.

I have a copy of this. It's not bad, other than the obnoxious load times.

It even uses its' own file formats for some shit and follows a much stricter retro aesthetic up to the way the game is built to some extent. If that ain't based, I don't know what is.

he also programmed the tracker he used to make the soundtrack (and released it for free too)

Now all we need is the "Nobody:" poster

The remake sucks cock almost universally. The new soundtrack and graphics literally ruined the artstyle. The game didnt look old due to lack of talent, it looked that way intentionally.

too bad it's shit damage

I still feel emotional attachment to curly despite not having played the game in years

Shovel Knight is excellent and so are the dlc campaigns

shovel knight was made by a team of people, it's not indie.
Undertale is a generic and painfully overrated gamemaker visual novel disguising itself as a game. Also toby totally plagiarizes his own work from homestuck.
Hollow knight is the same as shovel knight in that it was made by alot of people and therefore isn't indie. You could consider Bastion an and alot of other games indie by the same metric

Hollow knight was 3-4 people if you don't include people who only did voice acting work

methinks you're just trying to start shit by warping definitions

At least the switch version includes the original graphics and soundtrack

yeah the amount of effort it must have taken would make any AGD blush. It's Kojima levels of control he has over his own tools. Kero Blaster is honestly underrated as well.

>You could consider Bastion an and alot of other games indie by the same metric
pretty sure everyone agrees Bastion is indie, m8.

4 people and countless animation and background contractors i bet. Soulless.

The point is that the game has not been forgotten an continues to inspires.

An indie game is game made by an independent developer. Yacht Club Games is an independent developer, and is therefore an indie game. Same with Team Cherry. Also, it’s common knowledge Hollow Knight was made by three dudes who had family and friends voice the game

I remember this, only barely beat the mantis boss as a kid. Was it a big thing back then?

yes it was and derek yu worked on aquaria which is critically acclaimed. I don't remember the mantis boss though, you don't mean baphomet do you? yeah I played it as a kid a lot but didn't beat the final boss until I was grown and bought a gamepad.

What version should I play?? I've wanted to play this game for ages but I don't know what version to play and it has left me not playing the game in spite of wanting to.
It seems like there is no one version that has all the benefits. It's frustrating!

Just play the original. cavestory.org

Original is free and better in literally every aspect.

Furries kind of destroyed this game's fandom for a while, but I still love it. One of the first indie games I ever played and still one of the best.

yikes this post reeks of discord tranny

Also Cave Story+ on steam allows you to enable original music and original graphics. But it's not free, and fan translation of free version is still better.

Original is the best. Go play it, right fucking now, you have no excuse, it's free and takes up jack shit on your computer.

I'll never forget. I even bought it physical on Switch just to make sure I didn't. Problem is, all the money from that purchase is probably just going toward putting Quote and Curly into some other retarded spinoff. Maybe one day we'll have a sequel to the game that I'm sure will look and play like shit and completely miss the point.

holy fuck that's Calarts Monogatari

The Underside? Last I heard, the developer was completely changing the graphical style. I assume to make it look like less of a ripoff. That was like six fucking years ago I heard that though, game is vaporware.

You've played Cave Story on your PC, but have you played it on your Mega Drive?

Not really but whoring out Quote/Curly to lame crossovers and rereleasing Cave Story a bunch of times for full price without much in the way of meaningful additions makes them seem like a lazy and greedy company

Reminder that the game will be 15 years old around christmas.

They might get a little too much shit. It's just annoying how much credit they take for the game when all they've done is add user mods to the game (all of which were bugged and poorly implemented) and a really terrible looking 2.5D remake.
Despite only porting and sometimes butchering the game, they often use Quote as the company's mascot and toss him and Curly into their other shitty games to try to promote them.
That being said, I've bought Cave Story+ on PC and Switch. The Switch version at least has a tiny bit more effort put into it, but a few annoyances too.

Great game, and the bonus/overtime content gave me priapism. I hope Pixel eventually revisits some of the early "Gero Blaster" stuff, though.

I don't understand the criticism. This doesn't look bad.
It's not Cave Story's distinct look, but it'd looks fine for another game.

nah,ill never forget it

>I don't understand the criticism.
background looks like it's very far away, giving the picture a flat look where the foreground and background are very distinct from eachother, as if it's a matt painting-- this is good for visibility, but this direction goes way too far. And talking about visibility, look how extra all those little effects are for shooting his gun. There's a the fireballs, the big trails, the hit effect, the -1 marker, and the giant fluffy puff dust clouds, which by the way look like copy pasted clusters rather than the dynamic individual poofs of the original. Then there's Quote. He's got this sappy anime look, but he's okay, but then you look at the slime and the flat colors that make up the upper and lower third of the background, and there's this big clash in level of detail.
Very amateurish.

I believe I quit on the remake/re-whatever labyrinth area. It all seemed like suck a slow chore to get through. Way more back-and-forth to seemingly pad out the levels than is fun. It's like taking the initial, original Grasslands approach for every area of the game.
That was my impression, maybe it gets better later, but I just couldn't push myself further.

Not gonna lie, the sandzone teleporter nonsense was fucking stupid. I just kept going to see if it got better. It didn't.
And yeah writing was really bland... "Oh you're here! Yeah! Stuff's happened. Forces fighting for equilibrium, that's why everything's topsy turvy. Oh yeah said forces of nature were not a part whatsoever of the original plot"

They whore out games they publish as if they made the games themselves and they rushed out a half assed expansion for BoI that soured people on the series and it took until last year for the expansion to be 'fixed' enough to be worth it.
