Thanks! It's a big project but I like to work on it little by little.  :^_^:

This is one of the best Metroid Fangames in a while, I have a few questions if you dont mind. My friends keep bothering me about this but si there any chance that water, gravity suit and plasma beam will be in the game some day and will Maridia be an upcoming area? Also will all of the areas have their own unique bosses at some point? I am not assuming that all of these will come out fast since I already read you work little by little which is great since everybody need breaks in between.

VacantShade

Thanks for the kind words!
Good questions. I hope we can see all of these eventually, though I don't have any definite plans on when/how they will be implemented. A lot of work still needs to be done on the engine side of things so that it can be as flexible and open to new content as I'd like in the future. So it will take a lot of planning and work to get there.  :^_^:

Hello!
Progress is going well. The project hasn't gotten a new update yet, but it has been worked on regularly over the past year. I've been focusing a lot on the engine side of things, Loeder has completely redone the Samus animations, and Small Watch has been developing additional visual assets for the game. You can see both of their work here in this demonstration of the new missile doors:

There are also some new options coming to the Enigma generator, like allowing different map layouts and having starting items. So those will hopefully make Enigma more customizable and interesting!

It will probably still be a couple months before these changes are released and get moved to a stable version.

Dang the new graphics and animation look amazing, really looking forward to the next update

Hey, it looks like the download links are disabled temporarily. Is it because of site traffic or is it intentional?

Games of any era are game!

Hello!
Yes, they are down due to high traffic volume. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Your best option would probably be checking on the Community run discord server (linked in first post), as I've been informed by Loeder (the current server owner) that there is an alternate download available there.

Have fun!

Saw Vinny check this out, have yet to grab it for myself but I wanted to know, is it possible to disable the clock timer above the minimap?

I honestly don't see any issues getting this to work on a Steam Deck, given how easy AM2R goes. I'll have to report back if I run into any issues or quirks. If only you could share Steam Input layouts...

Thank you for all your hard work dev.

yeah, worked instantly.

Simply added the exe to steam, force use compatibility tool, proton 9.0-4.

Runs like an absolute dream, and since planets already has controller support, customizing controls will be incredibly easy.

Not currently. If you use the 16:9 resolution though, the HUD elements are placed on the borders outside the game area.

Yeah, I have heard that it isn't too difficult to get it running on that! Glad it worked for you!
