Thanks in no small part to the wonderful Shih Tzu, it looks like the GameCube version of Cave Story may happen. I have Pixel’s permission to go ahead with the project but he’s not sent me any source code yet.
Additionally, I have Shih Tzu’s permission to use his work in the legendary AGTP English translation, but I’m still waiting for Gideon Zhi’s. I can imagine his AGTP mailbox gets rather flooded with Pokémon translation requests, so I am happy to wait!
I feel bad about having Shih Tzu translate so much for me. It must be a time-consuming process and I bet he’s got other things he would rather do. To say “thank you” I’d like to get him a little present but I’m not sure what. Hopefully he has an Amazon wish list or something like that. I suggested that I could send him something Scottish, but I don’t know if it would be wise to take me up on that offer!
In related news, it looks like there’s going to be a freeware port to the PSP too. A chap called ufo_z put together a Cave Story remake and got Pixel’s blessing to continue with the original source code.
Lucky guy! I would have loved to do the PSP version!
Edit: ufo_z has released his first release candidate! (Wow, that was fast!)
