Overview
A reimplementation of Cave Story engine with many quality-of-life improvements.
doukutsu-rs was originally started as a Rust learning project and meme, but after a while it evolved into a drop-in replacement for the major editions of the game (the original 2004 freeware edition, Cave Story+ for PC and Cave Story+ for Switch).
Starting with version 0.99.0-beta1, released on January 16, 2022, the game is fully playable. Work is currently underway to further improve the engine and fix some discrepancies with the original game.
While doukutsu-rs tries to be faithful in behaviour to the original game, it doesn't aim to be an exact copy of it. For example, doukutsu-rs lacks bugs that exist in the vanilla version of the game, so there are some differences in behaviour, but also includes features such as cutscene skip, lighting effects, subpixel scrolling and V-Sync support.
