Wow, that was a pretty interesting article, and that's from someone who had no interest in Cave Story before reading it.
Ths said, are you going to write any more articles any time soon? Because I checked your site, and while I saw another one related to Super Meat Boy, it seemed like those were the only two game design articles you'd written (or articles on the site, period).
That's a shame really, since decent stuff about game design is pretty hard to find online, especially given how some of the people whose sites I used to follow have stopped writing recently.
So keep writing. Your work is more interesting than anything I've seen on a mainstream gaming site in a while.
P.S. Also, if you're interested in reading more on game design, I'd suggest looking up Critical Gaming and reading Daniel Johnson's book on Wario Land 4's design. That's a pretty interesting read in itself.
