Metroid 2 Fan thing.

[Hiddenbro]

Fan game I'm making. Based off of the Metroid 2 game for the GB. Game will likely take you 1-2 hours to complete.

I'll update this with more videos; once meaningful progress is made.

SR388 is a wasteland. Also, possible Metroid 2 physics. alpha 1.00

It's looking good so far. What language are you making this in and/or are you using gamemaker/other game dev software?

[PonchGaming]

Looking forward :lol:

C++; so apologies for the mess.

Looking forward :lol:

You bet. Who knows; maybe it'll turn out to be a halfway decent experience.

Hmm, definitely looks interesting, may I ask if there will be evolved Metroids in the game?

Any chance of seeing the source at some point, or not? I love poking around in these things :P

Yes. That being said I really wanna get a playable demo out by 1.03.

Yep. Granted I would like to clean up the code before something like that.

This is still existing

Nice to hear it "is still existing." So have you actually done anything?

What's been done since last update:Energy system, powerups, and basic enemies.

In process: display, big baddies, fixing collision system, and mapmaking. I'm bad at mapmaking.

[Hiddenbro]

Energy has existed but for the first time an actual representation of the player energy has been added. Likely the only information to be displayed on screen. Also forgot to add a background to it. Quality grade A mapmaking continues. Adding enemy AI that acts to player interaction. Disruptive room transitions can kill the player. (not intended feature)

Its still existing.

Hey friendos time for another blog post.

So after Samus spontaneously exploding in the room transitions(too many times this happened) I took action and implemented loading screens between those rooms. Basically looking at 5-8 seconds of loading between rooms. It's pretty gross, and it'll become part of the game if I dont figure out whats causing all the instability*. Feedpack on silly load times is always welcome.

if interested some footage of the 258th build. Me goofing around is important footage.

*instability also includes parts of the game stop working. awesome.
