Ever try "Cave story 2"?

[TSGEvans]

Hello there! Do you love Cave story? Have you ever played the original download? Ever wish for a sequel or more story?

Well with a bit of modding, a mod that is so well made that it feels like a sequel to Cave story exists!

Jenkas nightmare; A cave story mod that gives you even more story than before!

The mod takes place a year after the island was saved by our dynamic duo, Curly and Quote. They along with Balrog live peacefully together with the island in view.. after an uncomfortably short period of relaxation time, they're transported back to the island without warning and split up in the labyrinth like caves! The only hint you have to the culprit... Jenkas Nightmare...

Download Jenkas nightmare here!

If you'd like to play through the original download of Cave story, download it here!

Did you know that Jenkas nightmare has a "New game +" feature? You'd have to play through the first game to play this feature, but the rewards are definitely worth your time!

More information regarding "new game +" can be found here!

Interested? Intrigued? Why not get this discussion noticed?

Thanks! And enjoy Jenkas nightmare!

Looks promising. Always wanted a sequel but I'm honestly not a fan of mods. I might try this out, though as I need my Cave Story fix.

I wonder if that works with engine reimplementations like NXEngine-evo which supports native 16:9 aspect ratio.

It's not and probably won't.
nxengine (and -evo, currently) doesn't fully use nor support npc.tbl, intstead it's using sprites.sif.
Moreover, many mods for original game patch the game itself (changing AI behaviour, for example, changing stage names, etc.)

I do have plans (for far future) on modding support for nxengine-evo (e.g. making AI external, written in Lua or something), but mods will have to be ported anyway.

Is this actually a prequel or does it follow one of the original endings?

Well, it's fanmade, so I guess it's not truly canon, but it's just like the description says: that the story takes place after the True Ending of Cave Story in which you defeat Ballos and escape with Balrog, and the writing really doesn't feel out of place. Overall, I find the gameplay is somewhat harder, especially in the beginning.

But challenging in a good way. People are expected to be straight out of the original Cave story. Give them a challenge.

I thought of Cave Story 2 as in the Japanese unfinished mod. :2017stickycrab:

I saw heard of it. I don't suppose there is an English version out there?
