Celebrate Independence Day!
Simon S. Andersen @snakepixel · May 29, 2024
I realized its the 20th anniversary of Cave Story (Doukutsu Monogatari) so 15 years after I made the illustration for the Wiiware release, I've decided to redraw it. Could finally update some elements that didn't have a consistent design back then.
Simon S. Andersen @snakepixel · May 26, 2024
Something I don't think anyone's seen before: One of my earliest jobs was creating this official art for Cave Story (Doukutsu Monogatari) on WiiWare back in 2009.

Since the internal team performed edits after I submitted it, no one has ever seen the original, unedited version
