Super Metroid Dark World

[pathomSM]

An exploration based hack revolving around the Dark World theme of Metroid Prime 2.  There will be multiple new power-ups to spice things up.  The sense of urgency and danger will be in this hack because the very atmosphere is toxic.  Only the various light crystals scattered around the world will comfort you.  This hack will be suited for most players as it is challenging but fair.  Speed-runners will find this hack interesting due to the various tricks and skips one can do.  My hack is undergoing some polishing but will be released soon probably within a month.  If anyone wants to contribute to it, just message me on here or on discord.


I have attached a few quick photos of it that won't spoil anything.

I recall playing this before, ran into some permastucks and too strong enemies. I liked the concept of the toxic atmosphere and light crystals. Hope to play the finished product soon!

Yes. The OP has just attached some screenshots in a .pdf document.

UPDATE: It was all a misunderstanding.  The project is back in the saddle again :)

When is it getting out :D!

I'd say in around a month, maybe 2.  Maybe less if I can get some amazing people to help out a bit. 

We are currently working on implementing the Thermal Visor item into the hack.  This is the main obstacle right now as it is fairly complicated.
I also want to add a few custom music tracks but I am waiting for permission to use them.  Since this might be my final hack, I want it to be really solid for this community to have.


Current features include:

1)  Custom Beam palettes for Dark Beam, Light Beam, Echo Beam, and Murder Beam.

2)  New items:  Boost Ball, Phazon Suit

3)  Metroid Prime 2 toxic atmoshere in the dark world and 2 different types of Phazon.  Depending on what suit you have equipped determines how protected you are from all of this.

4)  Modified Equipment Screen to include names of new items as well as adding an in-game timer and item% box.


Upcoming Features (hopefully):

1)  Thermal Visor item

2) Spider Ball item (if somebody knows how to make this PM me *hugs* :] )

3)  Custom Music (waiting for permission from Black Falcon), if anybody has any song that you think can fit in this hack and is willing to let me use it let me know.  I will give you full credit for helping me.

4)  Trying to fix the Map since I moved the location of rooms.  I am not the best with the Map Editor so if anybody is good with this, it would speed up this project and I can also give you full credit for helping me with this.  By changing room locations, the end game timer has glitched out as well but it still works.

This hack is meant to be a Community Project to make a solid Prime 2 hack for Super Metroid so the more people we get on this project, the better it will be and the faster it will be released.  PM me on here or on Discord if you have any questions or if you want to help :)
