This is a really good thread from mastodon about the counter culture scenes of the 1980s and 90 and how they were destroyed and what we can do to rebuild them.

a retrospective on cave story i wrote for the 20th anniversary of its english translation in 2005*, putting it in context as part of the transition from the post-shareware limbo phase of independent game production to the indie boom.

Cave Story brought all of this development with it when it arrived on the shores of the players who would become indies. Its emphasis on depth over breadth in design can be considered a tendency of the doujin sphere as a whole, down to the handcoded sprinkler effect seen in just two areas of the game. There are essentially two ways a program can be impressive. It can either be a very large system with lots of moving parts that nonetheless hold together well, or it can be a very small, very subtle thing with a million different facets that become apparent only after you've seen it from as many different angles. Doujin gamemakers of the '80s and '90s, without the resources to make the first, tended toward the second, and by the time Cave Story had come out, they had become very good at it.

*this is a lie. it had actually been meant for the 20th anniversary of the cave story itself last year, but the scope of the project expanded. better late than never. this is actually me fitting the theme, if you think about it.
