NXEngine-evo is an enhance verision of the NXEngine engine by Caitlin Shaw. It is an open-source engine of Cave Story/Doukutsu Monogatari using the data files from the original freeware game engine.
Differences from the original version of NXEngine:
- Port to SDL2 (thanks to PIlin).
- More resolutions and proper widescreen support up to Full HD (thanks to EXL).
- Animated character portraits.
- Modern main menu.
- Credits graphics specific to the Mimiga Mask ending.
- Localization support.
- Force feedback support.
- Custom soundtrack support.
- Initial mod support.
- Vita/Switch versions.
- Cleaner and partly-refactored code.
- Tons of gameplay-related bugfixes.
- Removed built-in data extractor.
- Removed replays, as they were buggy/not implemented anyway.
This port is a fan creation and is not related to Cave Story+ (published by Nicalis and being an actual, official Switch game).
You can find more information about Cave Story on the Tribute Site.
