It's been five years since I first thought to myself, "Hey, why not try making a game?" I developed Cave Story at my own pace, taking my time, and while doing so I released a few other smaller games as well.

Using your magical staff, you will lift the fog and rebuild the empire. Your followers will flock to you and obey your commands.

You will discover cities, build roads, and develop new technologies. Your goal is to seek out the Oasis and the Obelisk it contains, and to protect it from the barbarian hordes.

Once your presence in a kingdom is discovered, you have a limited number of turns before the barbarian horde arrives. Spend your turns wisely, develop your kingdom carefully, or watch the barbarian hordes smash it to rubble!

If your kingdom survives with the Obelisk intact, you will be able to retrieve its Glyph, and the power to restore order to the land. Earn twelve Glyphs from twelve different levels, and you will have the power to restore the empire, dispel the fog forever, and become the Scarab King.

You start with a small selection of fish, some money and a tank. You must breed your fish, care for them, help them grow, and cure them if they get sick. Along the way you can buy supplies, medicine and special chemicals; you can research technologies or invest in advertisement. All of this will be financed by selling exotic hybrids in your shop. The game runs in true real-time, so that if your computer is turned off or you exit the game, hours later small fish will have grown larger and new surprises await you.
