Unhundred % v0.5

[ClockwiseUK]

Unhundred % v0.5
Unhundred % is a mostly vanilla hack in which the player starts with every item in the game and must place every item back in its original position! This means you get weaker as you go. There have been minimal changes to the map.

As you can imagine it's fairly easy to softlock yourself if you don't think ahead so extensive knowledge of the game is required.

I'd say it's very close to release at this point, just letting people play it to see what if any issues arise.

Let me know what you think! All feedback is welcome!

Changes:

• Start with all items
• Picking up an item removes it from the samus
• Returning to the ship with no items ends the game
• Morph will not appear until all other items have been removed
• Door to G4 has been removed as Torian is no longer nessessary
• Old mother brain room no longer locks the player in when in it's inactive state

Special Thanks to PJ for showing me the ropes. It's been a really cool experience to get into this rom hacking scene!
Also to PHOSPHOTiDYL for creating the "Skip Intro Saves" ASM that is utilized.

Additionally, you can see the hack in action on twitch just search "unhundo" I would add a link but this is my first post here.

That's a really cool concept! Will have to check it out when I have the chance.

Awesome idea dude. I saw Oatsngoats playing it and now I think i'm going to have to give this a go. Thanks for making such a cool hack.

Interesting, I guess RBO would be the logical route to take. And drop off speedbooster right before finishing off Kraid. Kind of like dropping of the house keys when selling it.

1:12 IGT.  Nice concept, you really have to plan ahead where the your final missile/SM/PB drop-offs are going to be.  One very minor thing:

[spoiler]I dropped off Bombs early; final items before Morph were charge missiles, Charge and Retro Brinstar PBs.  Morph wasn't on its pedestal after dropping off the PB's, I had to ride the Retro elevator up and back down spawn it.[/spoiler]

Hah. This is one of the better gimmicks I've seen in a hack. Had a lot of fun messing around with some of the more extreme routes you can take. Looking forward to trying... Reverse RBO? Regular Boss Order? I'm not sure what you'd call it.
Anyway, this was a fun little hack.

Hey,

This is really cool! Kudos.

So, er. I've actually built something very similar but I never released the hack. But your hack has some lovely important details (ended up going silent once morph is collected, I couldn't figure that part out). And I liked your text that added 'xxx placed'. I didn't think of that, it's a nice touch.

I wrote quite a bit of code to do with the item collection that hides the items until you place them, and then the graphics appear.
I also added a feature that re-picked the item after collecting it if you reset the room, held 'L' and collected the black space where the item was (although, there was a bug I checked when doing it with charge beam).

But we both went in the exact same direction: 'blocked off mother brain', 'started on zebes'.
Having morph only appear at the end is a nice touch. I ended up writing some code that might be helpful to your hack. I wrote, it would be cool to merge my changes into yours.

You can see my code/build on github, user: prankard, repo: super-metroid-zero-percent, dev branch (there are IPS builds there, and main code is in the src/pickup.asm).
Feel free to steal/use any code you need to help/aid your hack. If I have time I can help include some features into the source, but it's been a while since I touched the assembly.

I also modified it so picking up energy tanks wouldn't heal the player. Makes the hack a little harder (but still not too hard). I'd recommend adding that in.

Anyways, congrats on the hack. From someone who's made something similar, it's harder than it looks to make  :yay:
