Pixel working on a RPG...

Pixel, "Cave Story" creator, officially started working on an RPG, he announced it on his BBS:

I’d always steered away from working on an RPG, but now that I think I’ve finally got the requisite know-how, I’ve decided to give it a shot,” the famously modest developer says. “But already it’s more of a challenge than anything I’ve done before...

Hooray! Definitely want.

Watch as many people claim it to have a story far superior to anything Square-Enix has put out in the last five years, though. I guarantee it will happen to some degree.
 
A pixar RPG would be really interesting though. But someone would have to help them with the gameplay part. They could make the story and the graphics.
 
I am excited for this, I played Cave Story so in the past months and years, it is such a fun and polished game.

I kinda hope that he has someone translating text as he is making the game so people who cant read japanese dont have to wait a long time to play it.
 
I might play this. Cave Story was really good, but I found Guxt to be kinda eh. He's probably best with games with exploration and RPG elements.

well, if the aeon genesis team (people who translated cave story) are up to the challenge (they translate a lot of japanese rpg roms anyways), then i expect a really good translation. i just hope they take the initiative and translate during the development process
 
What? I thought he had steered away from game development into the mundane corporative programming business.

I just hope he gets a couple more people to work with him, otherwise I'll only be able to play that one after my nonexistent kid's 8th birthday or something.
 
Terrific news though I hope he has some help this time around to speed up the process. How long did it take him to make Cave Story?

Wait what? Pixel has a BBS? Like a real BBS or do they mean something different? What an old school dude. :lol

"BBS" stands for Bulletin Board System, and they tend to use it as message boards in japan.

.. also, to all of you who read "Pixar" instead of "Pixel". Dyslexia much?

4 years. His real occupation is programming, but of spreadsheet software or something.
 
I wish someone would pick Pixel up and give him a high-paying role as designer in charge of a small team of college grads.

edit: Do it Namco.

if he puts as much effort as he did with cave story, then i expect it to be awesome.

you know it took hi 5 years to make cave story, granted it was in his spare time after work and play AND he did everything in the game, art, animation, programming, sound, design, qa
 
I really want Cave Story as a downloadable title on PSN or Wii. I almost said 360 as well but the d-pad makes me weep.

I prefer to play games on my TV, and it although I've completed the game once with my laptop hooked up to my TV, I'd gladly pay money for it as a downloadable game.

I wonder what sort of RPG he would be making. I hope it's a platform RPG, something Wonderboy III esque. This would retain a lot of the charm of Cave Story, rather than some top-down retro looking thing.

I expect the RPG to be like the Paper Mario games, very quick fun battles that require button skills.

I hope you're right. I don't mind turn based games/hack and slash combat, but I want to see something "different" from Pixel. I wonder what setting the game will have? Maybe it'll be modern day like Earthbound.
