I think you mean
[spoiler]*Hyper Beam with a different palette.[/spoiler]
:^_^:

[Thirteen1355]

Oh.
Yeah, I didn't find all the Particles.

Found about 40, purely by accident :)

I would ask that you make the distinction between the super missile door and the frequency door more distinct. That small metal cap on the super missile door was very hard to notice and I didn't see the difference until MetroidX pointed it out. Other than that, I like the idea of more types of doorcaps.

I'm in the sewers searching for crocomire.

[DeadSkullzJr]

No, Crocomire is in the sewers looking for you!!!!

I am playing Version 0.3 and have encountered a room in phazon mines with two torizos.  I have tried every weapon I have and I have been hammering away at them for 20 minutes.  They.  won't.  die.

What am I missing?

Edit:  I never mind.  I tried something else and they seem to be taken care of now.

[spoiler]You can kill them. It just takes turbo and the one trick to stand under them.[/spoiler]

I killed them fine with no tricks or anything. Just gotta #gitgud  :^_^:

[spoiler=better strat]I just worked on the left hand door until it opened, grabbed screw attack and when I came back they were gone - problem solved :grin:[/spoiler]

[DonnyDonovan]

That's what I ended up doing Jordan5

Edit:  So playing through 0.3 after having played both 0.1 and 0.2 confirmed what I already suspected - this is overall, IMO, the best hack in existence.  I did find some of the particles too well hidden.  Either a few need to be a little more obvious or the map rooms need to be a little more obvious and give better hints.  Also some of the pirates take an obnoxious amount of damage and it does break the flow of the game somewhat.  But these are minor gripes.  This is an incredible game.

I Had the game done 4 weeks ago it took two weeks to get it to start. testing is going slow as every other room has a nasty glitch. (I'm as far as the super missiles in 2 weeks)

a lot of work has to be done on the dark world, because I'm waiting to get that far in the game so I can play/edit.

here are titles screens I haven't decided yet.
[spoiler][/spoiler]

[FPzero]

I prefer the second title screen. It looks a lot more interesting than the solid color circles in the first one. That said, I think the title text is not drawn very well. It's very difficult to determine what the name even says because of the way the letters touch each other. Please put even a little bit of spacing between each letter because it's very hard to read as it is.

[PonchGaming]

I agree with FPzero. I also think you should maybe pick a different font if possible. I can't say for sure, but it's a little hard to just see the letters. Anyways, glad to hear Phazon 0.4 has progress :nod:

[Plutia]

The second title screen is better for sure.
Good luck on the testing!

[Steel Sparkle]

I agree with the others. Good luck with testing. I cannot wait for this awesome sauce to come out.

[MetroidX]

Always great to hear of an update Red about Phazonv4. I am so eager to play the heck out of this game. It's the most memorable game I've played.

I agree with FPzero. I also think you should maybe pick a different font if possible. I can't say for sure, but it's a little hard to just see the letters. Anyways, glad to hear Phazon 0.4 has progress :nod:

Its not the font itself its the color - specifically the saturation of the green font and the white background are nearly identical which makes it hard on the eyes.

Imo just strengthen the interior drop shadow at the top as well as add an exterior drop shadow at the bottom right and it will be fine.

[MetroidX]

Eager to hear of any new updates

[Thirteen1355]

Last time I wrote that, my comment got removed. So watch out.
I'm really curious as well. But the moderators seem to think those comments are unnecessary (unfortunately).

We haven't heard anything for two and a half months.

[Jordan5]

Yes, these are unnecessary, if there were developments that Red Monkey wanted us to know about, we would know about them, don't you think? Sit tight, your posting will not speed anything up.

I'm pretty sure that he lives somewhere without internet (if my memory serves me correctly) and so only appears every once in a while with important updates.

Last time I wrote that, my comment got removed. So watch out.

Yes, unless you have anything to actually add to the thread (pestering the dev for updates is not adding anything) you shouldn't bump the topic, likely why your post was removed.

[Thirteen1355]

How is such a thing called pestering? Do I know if he lives without internet? No. Also, thanks to my comment, I now DO know the reason he's not on this thread lately.

Understood? We don't ask the developer directly, we just say 'I wonder when there's gonna be an update.' This doesn't mean we're expecting the developer to answer. Maybe someone else knows more. And we were right. Because YOU do know more about the matter.

[DonnyDonovan]

Everytime a hack is pending we go through dialogues like this.  Thank goodness everyone finally just gave up on Aegis. 

[Quote58]

Why would anyone other than the developer know more about it? In terms of hack progress, there hasn't been anything new for quite a while, and since red monkey lives really far from the closest town (you are correct jordan, he has no internet at his house) (and has for like, a year and a half), he hasn't updated us.
This thread is not about the personal life of red monkey, it's about the hack. There haven't been any updates on the hack, so there hasn't been a post.
If you want to know why red monkey hasn't updated, then go ask in irc, not in the hack thread.

Bumping a thread that's only gone 2 months without a post is just silly and the fact is if red monkey sees it he'd probably just be annoyed by it. If you're not expecting him to see and reply to it don't post in his thread.

It would be pestering whether you knew he lived without internet or not. It's like when people bump the X fusion thread. Why? If you want to know the most recent state of it, look at the previous posts. Other people might know more? Well if they do know more, and the dev wanted the general community to know about it, it would be a post. If no one posted, that means that whatever is currently in the thread is the most up to date information that the dev wants the community to know.

[Thirteen1355]

Still, thanks to Jason and me posting here, I know at least WHY he can't post updates sometimes.

And why do you specifically bring up the X-Fusion thread? It's really active at the moment.
