This branch has shifted focus slightly, from just porting Cave Story
as-is, to porting it while also trying to recreate the original 2004

Notably, this means bugs should still be left intact. However, bugs and other
coding errors that affect portability should be fixed.
Unlike the `accurate` branch, the focus of this branch is not to reproduce the
exact behaviour of the original code, but rather to reproduce the original
experience of the game, as it was back in 2004. This means changes are allowed
if they 'de-age' the game: for example, when playing Cave Story on Windows XP,
the dialogue font will not be anti-aliased - however, when playing on later
versions of Windows, it will be anti-aliased. This conflicts with the game's
colour-keying system, creating an ugly black outline around the letters. This
issue is corrected in this branch, so that the original behaviour is preserved.
For comparison, I believe this branch shares some parallels with the
Chocolate Doom project, except perhaps more strict. See the link below for their
list of philosophies which may be applicable here:
