This is 100% unrelated to Metroid. I'm wondering if anyone else is as big a fan of the original Blaster Master as I am. With it's platformy goodness and pseudo-non-linear game play I thought it might appeal to the same crowd as Metroid. I'm cooking up something new. I know there's already a Blaster Master editor, BCK, but the interface is minimal and it's hard to see the bigger picture when your editing each level of the game's building blocks. I'm grafting the Editroid interface into a new Blaster Master editor where everything is edit-in-place. See?
Thoughts? |

Is there a problem if I've never played blaster master?

Probably not. A lot of NES games slip under peoples' radars. Especially so if you've never seen an NES (not saying you haven't, but it's a possibility).
I've at least seen the game (a friend streamed it once) and it looked sorta neat. Someone I know might enjoy toying around with the editor given that it's complete; he has a thing about not liking beta versions too much.

Hell yeah... I've barely played this game, even though I know it's a classic. Too many games on my list and too little interest to play any at the moment, but I'd get this editor.

I think that this in one of those games that tends to get overlooked. I'd say that it ranks among the best though. I should point out that the editor is far from done. As-is it's fully capable of editing all tank sections of the game. Sprite editing in the overhead sections isn't done yet. And it needs a whole lot of polish. I might be able to release a functional version in a couple of days, but it will still be far removed from beta. This is part of a larger project I'm working on. I'm making a level-editor-framework that the Blaster Master editor is built on top of, and things like undo, backups, and an IPS feature all need to be worked in before I even have a proper alpha build. Also, if anyone has any ideas for the name, I'm open to suggestions. I've thought of nothing and I'm all out of ideas. |

Ahemm... I'll just drop this here...
Keep in mind this requires .Net Framework 2.0 to run.

Im finally glad to see someone realized Blaster Master needed a better interface for its editor. Would like a copy to test.
Thanks

I posted a link to it here, but it's worth mentioning that I'm probably somewhat close to an update with some tweaks, bug fixes, and the ability to undo/redo. |

Oh wow... I didn't even know such a thing existed for this game. Blaster Master is in my top 5 favorite NES games, partially because it reminds me of Metroid so much, and one I've played to death over the years even though I only managed to get to the final boss within the last few months. (Still haven't beaten him yet.) This is definitely something I'd be interested in playing around with once it's further along.

Oh man, Blaster Master was an awesome game (that I could never beat as a kid ;_; ) but it's still one of my favourites. I'd love to see some people making kick-ass hacks for it using your Blaster Master Editor (when it's done).

Just you clear things up, this, not even beta version, editor that I have is more then enough to set up new tank levels with ease. :P

You should be able to edit the overhead levels just fine as well.
