About Cave Story
Cave Story is a game created by a Japanese indie (independant) game maker named 'Pixel'. He spent five years working on this masterpiece, which is a platformer/shooter, with hints of Metroid and Castlevania stirred in, and set in a unique and wacky environment. With scores of weapons, a crazy cast of characters (say that five times fast!), and secrets galore, you haven't lived until you've played this game!
All that aside, the best way to learn what Cave Story is about is to actually play the game. You can obtain it, and a translation, here:
About Tale of the Cave
Tale of the Cave is a web comic based on the game Cave Story, using the graphics and sprites from the game. The events that occur in the comic are loosely based on events in the game, but the details may differ, hopefully resulting in hillarity!
The title, "Tale of the Cave", comes from a direct translation of the game's original name, "Doukutsu Monogatari". "Cave Story" is a better translation, but Tale of the Cave has a nice ring about it :)
Anyway, the comic is updated Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, or any days following them if necessary. The author, Mike Caron (the very person writing this text, in fact), some times gets lazy or busy, and updates may be late. Deal.
