Wow, I remember playing this waaaaaay back in the day on PC. And then I heard it was coming to the 3ds and got it there.

Gullible, do games w Cave Story+ free on EGS

If you haven’t played it, do it. It is to metroidvanias what Mario is to platformers. Ridiculously influential game.

Iunnrais, do games w Cave Story+ free on EGS

I played the crap out of the original release. Does + offer anything more than higher resolution graphics?

MrScottyTay,

I might be wrong but I think it has a different translation script

The original is free and imo is way better.

DoubleCat,

Care to elaborate pls, why is it better?

bungle_in_the_jungle, do gaming w Caves Story+ free on Epic Games

Calling this the “most well-known indie game of all time” is a hell of a stretch if you ask me.

Yep, I never heard about it before.

artichoke,

Yup, but when the game launcued in 2004 it was true. These days it definitely isn’t the most well known but back in 2004, cave story was considered a huge success for the indie game scene

TwilightVulpine, do gaming w Caves Story+ free on Epic Games

Amazing game. I'd recommend it for everyone.

Doesn’t appear to be, at least from Beehaw’s perspective. It’s possible you saw another post on a separate instance, as it was crossposted to several instances.

sederx,

Oh no I meant the game was already given for free in the past

SomethingBurger,

Yes, from December 2020.

Shrimpbread, do gaming w Caves Story+ free on Epic Games

Great game, and from my knowledge the publisher screwed over the developer so its not like He’s getting less money for it being free on Epic

Landmammals, do games w Introducing the Epic First Run program

Remember when Epic opened and started a huge astroturfing campaign against Valve for taking 30% commission?

Years later the Epic store is still trash without basic features, and now they are pushing for exclusivity.

ryathal, do games w Epic First Run: six-month exclusivity for 100% revenue share for developers

While it requires setting up your on site to take money, Steam has always allowed developers to create keys for free. They can sell or give those away for 100% of the revenue indefinitely.

merthyr1831,

Humble Bundle does pretty much that from what I can tell. Surprised more games don’t come to the humble store

EveningNewbs, do games w Introducing the Epic First Run program

This smells like desperation.

Raji_Lev, do gaming w Epic is now offering 100% of the revenue to exclusive games for the first 6 months, up from 88%
@Raji_Lev@kbin.social avatar

Yeah, not a developer or otherwise someone who works in the gaming industry at all, but a deal like that would definitely remind me about what mom always said about deals that sound too good to be true.

Epic exclusivity

+12 revenue share for devs

-90% visibility

-10 customer happiness

stappern,

How is this bad?

RegularGoose,

How is it bad for a game to only be available through a shitty CCP subsidiary’s shitty storefront that no one wants to contaminate their computer with?

stappern,

You literally don’t need to use their client. You can pull these games with 100% free software. Which you can’t do with steam.

ryathal,

If you aren’t on steam or gog you don’t exist.

stappern,

TIL Fortnite doesn’t exist.

Cool story bro

ono, (edited ) do games w Introducing the Epic First Run program

I don’t like Epic’s exclusivity deals.

I don’t like Epic’s invasive “telemetry” libraries.

I don’t like Epic’s client helping itself to whatever data it wants on my computer.

I don’t like Epic’s ethics.

I don’t like Epic’s leadership.

I don’t like Epic’s investors.

Come to think of it, I don’t like anything about Epic. I won’t be giving them my money or granting them access to my computer.

Valve, GOG, and Itch are far more deserving of my support.

simple,

For what it’s worth there’s an open source launcher that is 100x better than Epic’s official one called Heroic. You can use that if you want to avoid their slow, ad-spamming store.

ono,

I’m aware of it. It doesn’t resolve the biggest problems with Epic. In fact, it arguably makes them worse, by encouraging more people to accept Epic’s policies and run their code. (Note that Epic Store games run Epic code regardless of how they’re launched; it’s built in to the executables.)

I want to read more about that. Do you have a source?

ono, (edited )

My source is me, by examining binaries and their behavior. (That is, the binaries themselves are the source.)

lud,

Okay

sirdorius,

I played KSP on Epic because it was free, but I hate Epic so much that I just bought it on Steam instead since I really liked the game.

Reset_Velvet,

I’m half tempted to do the same with Cities Skylines… besides the mod support is better on steam, so I might just do that
