[SM] Phazon Hack 0.5 (Under Construction)

[X-tradyte]

So I've got bombs, yes I know, Speed boost wasn't that hard to find, if you didn't get hit off by crumble blocks, Golden torizo, i noticed a glitch with the eye.

Time to go fight the other torizo in Ice Drifts, for what? I think a missile...

EDIT: WOOO! Found space jump! I think I got it early, TBH...[spoiler=If you wish to know...]I IBJ'd up to the tall cliff than Gravity jumped to the upper room to get it.[/spoiler]

EDIT2: with early space jump comes early nova beam, and screw attack!, YAY! also, found Kraid....again.

EDIT3: FUCKIN WOOOO! beat the game, 4:04 72%

[SpaceJump]

I found all upgrades, but I cannot find Kraid, Draygoon and Ridley. Where are they?

[X-tradyte]

Draygon is a must fight, as well as Ridley they are both in the escape. Kraid, you know where the fake ship is, before your first Phazon missiles? powerbomb it. Kraid is down there. I'll post a video soon of the escape.

[Katelyn]

Dragon is a must fight

How do I fight dragon?
---
Ridley is required, as he is in the escape.. Draygoon is apparently required in the escape, as what DarkSamus said.

[Quietus]

He said that BOTH Draygon and Ridley are part of the escape sequence.

[SpaceJump]

Ok, I made it to Ridley. I can't beat him because the (invisible) lava is killing me. Strangely on those Let's Play videos Ridley's room is only half as big and there's no lava, just some spikes. Is my rom not correctly patched?

[X-tradyte]

I didn't get the full escape because the videos were corrupted, but I got the way in. and I have the way to Kraid, Enjoy!

This is how Ridley's room looks in my game. The bottom is full of lava.



Is that normal? As I wrote before Ridley's room looks totally different in the "Let's Play" videos on Youtube from the one in my game.

[A_red_monk_called_Key]

yeah thats ridley's room. DS(dark samus) is playing an old version of the phazon hack

[SpaceJump]

I don't understand, I'm not playing it on DS. I tried my rom with ZSNES and it's still that room like in my screenshot.

I used your latest ips file with the map fix, so how would an old room show up?

[Scyzer]

DS is short for DarkSamus, who was playing an older version of the hack. You have a newer version where Red M0nk3y had changed Ridley's room. You patched the rom correctly.

In any case, had the rom not patched correctly, most likely NOTHING would work. It would be near impossible to have a faulty patching result in a different yet perfectly functioning boss room.

First off, just want to offer you a ton of thanks for making such a brilliant hack. I've played through a majority of the A-list hacks (including Redesign and Legacy), but Phazon is the king of them all. It's beautiful, it's innovative, it's creative, it's long, and at no point during the game did I get the impression that I was playing a SM hack... it felt like an entirely different (but still awesome) experience!

Take a bow sir, you deserve it!

Just one question though... is the download available in the hacks section, the most current version? I ask because the Ridley room I played through didn't look like the room in SpaceJump's screenshot.
If not - where can I download it? I skimmed through this thread and didn't find it. Could be that I'm blind.

thank you. the goal was to make a hack that fells like a game came from nintendo

you can download SM Ph 0.2+map fix on the first page of this thread. also i up date the first post every day with the progress of 0.3(full graphic overhull, add rooms, and minor reorder of items)

OMG!!! it looks so beautyfull!!! and you say maybe its ready at the end of the month??

OMG OMG OMG

[A_red_monk_called_Key]

Awesomeness was done today, no pics sorry. 20 or more days to see

OMG OMG OMG

yeah, that BG is sexy! :^_^: Finally going to build a cart for this once 3.0 is finished. Working on some cover art now... will post in my thread once I'm finished.

[A_red_monk_called_Key]

cover art. alow me to set you up with some pics



edit:also theres too much i want to do, expect a delay

[bot01]

take all the time you need to make it the most awesome posible (just not THAT much, please)

i never found kraid and crocomiro, also never get screw atack and plasma. I wanted to search for all of it, but i better wait for 3.0

[A_red_monk_called_Key]

you may want to start over in 0.3, rooms are being added items are being moved. dark(ice) and light(nova(plasma)) beam are now key like. theres a light spire and a dark spire that needs to be shot with opposite beam(thats light for dark and dark for light). the main path however remains unchanged, it just takes longer to get all items

[bot01]

yeah, thats what im gonna do... hey, y'know what.. you should make some publicity for the release... i know you want to keep it till is released, but a short clip on youtube for Metroid Phazon 0.3 shouldnt do any damage, and more people will know about it, and by the way it looks, definitely will atract them. Just a sugestion.

Cheers.

just finshed volcano here is a sneak peek
[spoiler][/spoiler]

[SpaceJump]

Wow, that looks great!

[MATHGODpi]

Very nice! The change to the energy counter looks cool as well.

[A_red_monk_called_Key]

getting close to the end and i decided to use GFX sets 18-21 so i can have at least 98% new graphics, maybe use set 21 for one room.
as of now i had the game tested once and have allot of new work most of which can be done in a day. i have plans to make the game longer, so many new rooms will be added. i have also added path blocks like phazon, dark and light spires. beam colors have been changed, there is a diffrent beam color for every combo, and changes to the triple beam combos to signal there lack of power and speed. with dark an light beam combo you will get the annihilator beam which is slow but vary powerful, and does not freeze enemys.

i will post again some time next month when the final testing is under way.

Oh man! I am so excited about your update to your hack. I was amazed at the first release but, damn, 0.3 will most likely cause my jaw to fall off. ^_^
