This Cave Story documentary details the development of the indie game Cave Story and goes behind the scenes of its creation. Discover how solo developer Daisuke “Pixel” Amaya learned how to make video games and what chain of events led to the idea for his legendary action platformer game that was released in 2004. The documentary also explores all the design decisions that Daisuke made and how Cave Story was inspired by some of Daisuke’s favorite games.

It also takes a close look at all the hurdles Daisuke had to go through during development. As a solo developer, he was responsible for all the art, music, writing and programming. He did all this while also working full-time for a printer company, one of the reasons it took five years to develop Cave Story. Furthermore, it explores why Daisuke released the indie game completely free of charge. Lastly, the documentary explains how the PC port Cave Story+ and 3DS port Cave Story 3D came to be, as well as what Daisuke Amaya is up to now.
