For me Cave Story is basically father indie game

Cave story showed me games don't have to be huge to have a story you get invested in, half way through cave story I became sooo invested

I wish I found out about Cave Story sooner but I never regretted playing it. I am so in love with this game and its community. The creations that they put on in this game (i.e fangames, fanarts, etc) is so fascinating to me

I love the cascade effect here, because a big source of inspiration for me as a solo Dev is Undertale

I played Cave Story back in 2004 and began to make a platformer which I later abandoned as the scope was too big and ended up making my first match-3 game which I shipped in Dec 2005. Then followed 15 more games so far...

It was the game that taught me one person CAN make a game.

This game was the turning point for me back in 2015 to make games

there's very little as dangerous as an incredible game that makes it look so effortless
