Daisuke Amaya (天谷 大輔 Amaya Daisuke?), often known by his art-name Pixel, is a Japanese independent game developer.
He is best known for developing Cave Story (洞窟物語 Dōkutsu Monogatari?).
Games
His most popular work, Cave Story, is a freeware PC platform game released in 2004 that was created entirely by himself over the period of five years. The game received widespread praise from critics[1][2][3] and in July 2006 appeared at the top of Super PLAY's list of the 50 best freeware games of all time.[4]
Amaya's other work includes the game Ikachan which he released in 2000, as well as many other low-profile games. His current projects, if any, are unknown. Before working on Kero Blaster, he was working on a game titled "Rockfish", which was intended to be finished sometime in 2012.[5] The project was put on indefinite hiatus, and was likely canceled. Amaya was credited with the story concept for Nicklas Nygren's NightSky.[6] In May 2014, Amaya released Kero Blaster, a side-scrolling platform shooter game. This game was Amaya's first major work since the release of Cave Story.[7]
Audio software
Amaya has created various audio and music composition software. All his music composition software uses a piano roll editing interface.
Org Maker is the software used to create music for the lightweight .org format, which was used in Cave Story.
He is continuously developing the successor to Org Maker, the freeware audio editing suite PxTone. Users can create their own audio samples and compose music using PxTone Collage.
