Are there any good, open GMS Metroid or Metroidvania engines out there nowadays, that people have tried out? I've asked on the AM2R forums but got no reply so far.

If I can find one I will make one or more of these:
Monster World 3 or 4 (MD) Remake
Zillion 2 (SMS) Done right
Cyborg Hunter 2 (SMS) or Remake
Faxanadu 2 (NES) or Remake
Ufouria 2 (NES) or Remake
SpellCaster 2/Kujaku Ou 2 (MD) Done right
Kenseiden 2 (SMS)
Zelda II (NES) Remake
Gargoyle's Quest 3/Demon's Crest Done (SNES) right
Popful Mail (MCD) Remake
Battle of Olympus (NES) Remake
TMNT (NES) Remake
Clash at Demonhead (NES) Remake
The Goonies II (NES) Remake
Adventure Island IV (NES) Remake
Getsu Fuuma Den (NES) Remake
Exile (AMI/C64) Remake
Cauldron 2 (C64) Remake
Exile (PCE/MD) Remake
Dragon View (SNES) Remake

Go ahead and move the question to another topic if you want.

Yeah, this question probably deserves another topic..
anyway, the closest thing i've seen yet is Tokinsom's metroidvania kit. Though it cost $$$ and is Construct 2, not GMS..

It works with game maker 8. You'll have to fix some things if using studio.

Thanks, I'll look into those. This WIP by ScooterBoot9697 should also be posted:

If you can find the Kousoru Metroid Engine again, that would by my suggestion. I had it red-flagged but the forum got deleted a couple months ago. If you do manage to find it though, I wouldn't mind re-securing a copy in case my interests shift towards it again.

Well, I messaged him on YT :P

"Construct 2 is significantly easier and more streamlined than Game Maker."

Anyone disagree with this?

There's also MEngine, and a few other random Metroid Zero Mission engines made by Physix, if I can track them down I'll post them here. If you want.
