Untitled Cave Story Prequel
After seeing as transcribing the story of Cave Story into a webcomic seems a bit difficult when plot atmosphere preservation is important, I still wanted to be able to introduce people to the conflict and story introduced into the game. By creating a new scenario that leads into Cave Story, it is possible to provide a backstory to the Cave Story's scenario, create a new story that can easily be told from a first person perspective, and introduce new characters and plot devices that can compliment the original game.
I'm thinking of delving into what leads into the original war brought upon the island by the surface. I ultimately want to replicate what made Cave Story a cult classic, which includes the deeply emotional situations inflicted upon its characters. While its main character cannot be Quote, I believe it is still possible to allow the player to place themselves into the main character's shoes via other literary methods.
