All right, I was thinking in the shower just now, and I think I've got a better idea of what the story should be like.
A prequel would definitely be easier to do, in terms of storyline, at least. That way I don't have to worry about whether or not people did the Hard Path. It'll be about the original invasion of the island, as was suggested, and the main guy of Cave Story (who apparently is named Quote, according to Wikipedia) will be the protagonist in this as well. Curly Brace (Get it? Quote " and Curly Brace {... they're named after punctuation) will also be in this, and I think she'll play a larger role. I really liked that level where she came with you, so I'll try to incorporate that.
Anyways, the robots invade, and are sent to kill the Mimigas. However, upon seeing that the Mimigas are largely helpless and adorable little creatures (remember, they only ate the red flowers as a last resort), Curly Brace, Quote, and a third guy (whom I'm naming Bracket, to keep with tradition), leave the robot army to try and defend the Mimigas. Someone in Cave Story (I think it may have been Jenka) said that some of the robots had personalities. This leads me to believe that there were sentient robots like Quote and Curly Brace, and others which were just mindless drones.
Basically, you'll be up against two factions: the robots and the wearer of the Demon Crown. I think the mindless robots should look like that one you find in the room with the Core, that blows up after Curly investigates it.
Some things I really want to include in this:
1. Arthur, Toroko's brother, who apparently was a great Mimiga hero. He's still alive at the time. I think he'd be a really cool character.
2. I'd like to have a slightly more RPG-ish feel to the game, not a lot, more like Zelda. I'll probably try to have some kind of money thing, maybe more sidequests, too.
3. I think I'll add more weapons. The Polar Star will definitely be returning, and probably the Machine Gun as well. I want to add some very unconventional weapons, as well. For instance, I was thinking about a weapon that creates a temporary wall. The mouse aiming will let you specify the exact position of it, something that would have been impossible in Cave Story. Also, this could be used in place of a jetpack at some points in the game, as you could create a block then jump on it, and repeat.
4. There might be points where you have to choose between having either Bracket or Curly Brace come with you. I'm thinking of making Bracket slower but more powerful. Right now I'm thinking he'll either use a Sniper Rifle or some kind of melee weapon.
5. I obviously don't know the exact details of it yet, but I'm thinking of having a large underwater area. I think Quote should get an air tank either from the start or very early on, since it seems like something he was supposed to be built with. Also, a large Mimiga city sounds interesting.
This is still in the earliest of early stages. Like, it's mostly conceptual now. If I do make this, don't expect to see it for a couple of months, though I'll try and give updates on progress.
