Cave Story Tweaked: an intro and dev update

(EDIT: since this is doing Numbers, I figured I'd include an actual download link: https://doukutsuclub.knack.com/database#my-mods/mod-details/5ecc783fee5fa10016eef82e/. There's a known bug with upscaled graphics on resolutions other than 480p, I have it fixed, I'm pushing the update for it soon!)

Cave Story is probably the most important game of my life. It led me to meeting some extremely important people, it was my first speedgame, it is a game I can talk about for hours (AND I HAVE!)

But it ain't perfect. Its age has shown, especially as an old 2004 windows only executable. While official ports exist, people have legitimate gripes with them. And so several mods and projects have been born to keep the game alive.

This is super cool. Cave Story is an amazing game and it's great to see it getting this kind of love.

This is extremely cool! I must admit tho, it might be first time I've ever felt that "you can't make the game easier it wasn't easier for ME" grognard feeling in my soul, haha. Forget dark souls, the idea of someone not having to use invincibility frames to cheese balos Got me for a second. Fortunately, I'm aware enough to know how dumb that is and really think this is fucking awesome, might try it next time I do a re-play of one of my fav games of all time

There's the original graphics as well as an upscale provided by Lethrys, a community member in the Cave Story Modding servers. They can be swapped from the options menu.

You can also try using the Nicalis port sprites, but I don't officially provide support for them
