Daisuke Amaya, art-name Pixel, creator of the much-acclaimed Cave Story, has started work on a brand-new RPG.

I’d always steered away from working on an RPG, but now that I think I’ve finally got the requisite know-how, I’ve decided to give it a shot. But already it’s more of a challenge than anything I’ve done before…

The developer himself posted this on his blog. Considering he made Cave Story, which is widely regarded as one of the greatest homebrew RPG/Platform games, I’m sure it’ll turn out great!

If you haven’t played it yet, be sure to check out the PSP port of Cave Story.
