Super Metroid: Ancient Chozo.

 Yo, just finished this hack and i gotta say, amazing how the game looks now, especially brinstar, now it really fits it's theme name, i only got 99% because i didn't feel like re-checking everything, congrats to your amazing work with this project and i'm looking forward to any of your future ones.  :bounce:

Also i'm not sure if i played the current version but i'll post this here anyways since i haven't seen it in the previous replies.
You can get on top of that wall and get glitched out of bounds, i tried getting back out but it's not possible, it also wraps infinitely if you keep going to the right  :lol:

There's a bug with the charge beam chozo statue. You can get stuck if you jump between the head of the statue and the green roots. It looks like Samus alternates very quickly between crouch and stand state. You can't switch to morph ball, all you can do is fire your beam or missiles. You can't even turn around.

Still waiting the next update to this mod, it is very awesome I'm close to finally finishing it.

Slight necro but it belongs here since it's about this particular hack.

I fired this one up first, and I noticed to very minor mistakes in spelling. The last panel of text when Samus is telling her story reads:
"I relized then that I had to eradicate the evil that had vicited ceres..." emphasis mine.

Completely understandable, they should be realized and visited.

So far so good, I'm liking it. Seems Samus takes a lot more damage from things and without an audio cue I've found myself dead incredibly quick, that's probably my only gripe so far. Everything else is pretty cool. :)

Thanks for your comment Red_Chaos1! Well, since Spanish is  my first language, there's still some problems for me to writing English correctly, i don't like using translator because makes texts sounds a lot different than what i really want to tell, hehe anyways am thinking to change all that text and also change the title screen, also the damage taken from those annoying spikes i never realized that could be frustrating for a lot players but i have received a lot complains about it and i will definitely do something with that and a lot strong enemies, aslo am planning to do a some mayor changes to some areas including new Room, graphics and custom music, also the diagonal bomb jump will only work with power bombs and also power bombs will reveal new secrets and room entrances, new stuff is planned for the hack! I hope you enjoy this version, and thanks again.  :razz:

Hey there.

I'm playing this hack right now and it's everything I could ask for a Super Metroid Remastered, or Redux, or something like that. It's that awesome.

I can help you translate text if you want (even making a spanish version, I'm spanish as well), so if you need my help, just say it.

Also, what's wrong with Samus' face in the intro? She looks derp with that eye. And she only blinks with the right one.



Last but not least... any ETA on the new version? Just to know. I plan to finish the game with the actual version first.

Thank you and keep it up!

Glad to find someone that speaks Spanish too! Well thank you for your interest and yeah i made a terrible mistake doing that with Samus's face XD i tried to make full Samus face but i remember when i was doing that i wasn't sure about the position of her other side of her face it was a really dumb idea doing that XD but at the same time it's kinda funny and of course i will definitely remove it for next update, about the beta update let me tell you I'm a bit delayed since am working in a new hack teaming with someone, we need to finish this up before i come back to this project, there's not much to see in the WIP update just 90% of the new red brinstar it's done and some couple of new custom songs, but i think when i finish with red bristar I'll ask for players if they want the update before i start working with the new areas or if they want to wait because a lot players ask me for it and i also want to remove that face and and fix some soft blocks etc im not sure yet what to do, but sure thing is am gonna keep working on this hack till it's perfect! And a lot New stuff is coming for it new features new areas new music new graphics! And also it will be a lot more a speed run hack but full of secrets so players can choose if they want to explore more or they want to just go straight to beat the game quick, I've seen many, many players that don't find the new areas that are already in  1.1.0  version, i think it's because they need something that helps findings secrets entrances and I'll add a new feature for that as well but that won't be X-ray of course, if you want more details feel free to join us Metcons discord server, and we can talk about updates etc :)

Awesome hack! Very fun to play through, so I decided to make a TAS ;)

:whoa: :whoa: simply speechless! you manage to find many ways to sequence break! also thank you very much, i always wanted to watch a TAS game play! good job finding the early super and routes!

[DonnyDonovan]

That was very fun to watch.   I like how you went for minimum time but still saved the animals.  That's a caring soul.

I mentioned in my review about two years ago that the introductory text could be cleaned up a little, so I recently did just that. I apologize if this is a bit rude of me. This text should fit exactly within the constraints of the ROM. At least, it works when inserted into SMILE JX. I corrected the grammar, removed some typos, and I think it sounds more natural. I didn't change the context of the text except for the last sentence which sounds a bit more dramatic/fitting for the setting.

Nice! It actually sounds a lot better  :lol: i don't mind to use it on next update if you are ok with that, hehe also thanks for the bug report about the diagonal bomb jump issue on quick sand, I'll check that and see do something about it in case is necessary.

That's totally fine with me!  :grin:

Hello,
I rarely publish my opinion because my skill-level is well below the overall level of the MetConst community.

I'm 40 years old and Super Metroid is still my favorite video game (with F-Zero, Super Punh-Out and especially Street Fighter III.3). After the PlayStation release (I had a Saturn at this time), I almost stopped playing video games (until a friend gives me a dying Dreamcast). So I only discovered in 2013 what was romhack and especially that I was far from being the only one to idolize Super Metroid.

By the way, after trying a lot of hacks (without mastering advanced skills though now, I'm starting to be pretty accpetable on the single wall jumping ^^), I have a lot of affection for this particulary hack because it has this wonderful taste of already knowing the game while rediscovering it anyway.

Ancient Chozo is particularly beautiful, offers a nice variation in the exploration of Super Metroid World. It is true that it is sometimes a little frustrating to discover some power-bomb doors after having managed a somewhat acrobatic exploration phase but for the moment, I take a lot of pleasure to immerse myself in this new vision of Super Metroid.

I have just completed the Wrecked Ship and I return to Maridia equipped with Varia & Gravitys suits. I only have 20 super missiles but I move slowly.
Congratulations to you, Albert v., for this wonderful job that has required a lot of patience, I guess.
Thanks to the Metconst community for continuing to bring this myth to life.

I reached the spring ball. I have charge beam, missiles, super missiles, and morph ball. I can't leave the area because I don't have a speed boost. Can someone help me?

Unless this was changed in later versions you are softlocked I believe. You are supposed to have Gravity Suit and Speed Booster at this point if I remember correctly. Someone else was stuck there on page 4 of this thread.

I sincerely apologize for having a necrobump as my first post, but I got stuck early in the hack and after a lot of exploring and poking around, I haven't yet found a way to get out.  I have so far:

• Unlocked the Varia Suit
• Unlocked the Morph Ball
• Unlocked Bombs
• Unlocked the high jump boots
• Beaten Kraid
• 55 Missiles
• 5 Super Missiles
• 3 Energy Tanks

Here are some screenshots to show how much of the map I've filled in and what all I've got:[spoiler]


[/spoiler]

• The lower half of Norfair is presently locked to me because of either power bomb doors or just plain greyed-out locked doors.
• I don't have any of the extra abilities/features turned off.
• I can see some obvious spots over by Kraid's arena that need the ice beam or space jump but I don't have either one.  Same for actually getting back to Crateria.

There's still things I don't 100% know about the game (balljumps/ballsparks chief among them) but I don't think any of those could really help in my position.  I'll defer to people who know better, though: am I really stuck or just a newb?

Did you find the Power Bombs? If you haven't, then you can't fight Crocomire since the door leading down to him is a Power Bomb door instead of a Super Missile door. Also, I don't think you found the Charge Beam either since it's helpful against most enemies who aren't vulnerable to uncharged shots and when you run out of ammo in boss fights..

[DonnyDonovan]

I just replayed the most recent version of this.   It really plays well at this point.  I'm quite impressed.  It is pure eye candy in most areas.  Kraids' lair just looks amazing.

Excelente hack rom, me encanta la ambientación y el detalle tan trabajado que tiene, el nuevo Sprite de Samus, las nuevas habilidades. Esto incluido a la mobilidad del Project Base hace que sea un juego de 5/5. Una vez que aprendes el camino como lo hacen los expertos Speedruners el juego se hace mas divertido aun. No me canso de jugarlo. Felicitaciones por este gran Hack, de mis preferidos.
Saludos.

Thanks for those awesome comments :D new and good looking stuff will be on the next update!

I'm planning to expand wrecked ship and add some ASM stuff and a nice surprise!
