Misc. Hacks and Games Development / Re: Metroid X: Arcade style 2 ...
Last post by Eikon - Yesterday at 11:04:09 PMLatest update, just finished coding Kraid and the varia suit. I'll have to say that Kraid is one of the most involved bosses I've ever programmed, with his three freezable chest spikes and two claws on his back, there's a lot going on.
I made some changes to how the original fight goes. I felt that it was too easy in NEStroid to ignore the fight entirely and just bomb his feet if you had enough health so I majorly nerfed bomb damage on boss fights. No longer does a full round of bombs do 9 total damage but now only 3. This forces you to engage with him and try to freeze his projectiles to open up a weak point. Another change was due to two player. If players are on opposite sides of him the projectiles now change their facing direction randomly so that one player can't always focus his more open back side. If playing two player his health is almost doubled to further increase the challenge.
Having completed this I'd say I'm about 40% of the way done with the game. Norfair and all the new enemies that entails are up next!

Last post by OmegaDragnet9 - November 28, 2024, 02:56:25 AMFound this off the old metconst website (that now only exists on the wayback machine.)

It's for a headered ROM. I use the TUSH utility to add/remove headers.
