Basically, a far-from-serious hack based on jokes I make in MST's streams.

[spoiler=Story]
Samus goes to Hell to save Houston (the bearded man from the NP comics.)
[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Skills required]
Sanity
Patience
Competency in save-stating
[/spoiler]

[spoiler=What to expect]
Lots of red.
Bangs.
Enemies with Bang behavior
Rising acid in nonsensical places (after acquiring an item, entering a room from the top door)
Spikes everywhere.
Rage.
[/spoiler]

After I finish the hack, there will be a hard mode called "Shin Super Metroid: So Much Hell APOCALYPSE 'Q'" that has no expansions beyond the first, only the essential power-ups (Ball, Bomb, Space Jump?), no suits, less E-tanks, etc, and a naked Samus ending because.

There will also be a Houston mode called "Super Metroid: So Much Hell: HEROES NEVER DIE: Never Forget Me..." with no suits and many power-ups gone (no Screw attack), more expansions, and you start with power-ups already (missiles, supers, hopefully power bombs.) There will be less spikes, but will have fall damage to make up for it. And, the sprite will be edited to match Houston's suit.

Hack's still in early stages, but several maps have already been butchered (many have already been posted in the General Screenshots thread.)

The complex stuff will come after.

[spoiler=Expected date of completion]
Long before MST opens his pizza place.

Needs more spikes. :nod: :heheh:

The landing site is not red Crateria, and Crateria itself is not submerged in a sea of acid.  0/10, would not recommend.

[Lunaria]

You have my permission to raid and use the tileset from darkness returns and use that in crateria here! ^^

[Quietus]

Is the difficulty fairly consistent throughout?  Or are there occasional spikes? :wink:

[Technomagus]

I'm going to echo Spooky.  I don't think there are enough spikes.

Yes it is.

The clouds are still gray for some reason.

And, rising acid will trigger at certain doors.

Most likely.

The spikes will be the main issue early on, and more rising acid will appear later on to make up for the E-Tanks acquired.

APOCALYPSE will only have 3 Es, so it'll get even worse.

Open FX1 editor, untick "Stay grey"

Finally, a hard hack  :^_^:

[Lunaria]

Finally, a hard hack  :^_^:

You say that as if there weren't any hard hacks before.

Not that I've been playing a newly created in this year

[The Monster of Surrealton]

Sample gameplay video added.

[crimsonsunbird]

1 minutes to escape the space colony?
suggestion: you could put 18 or 17 seconds.

[personitis]

Provided Ceres rooms are unchanged, if you really want to be an asshat, make the timer 14 seconds. That will even catch me 90% of the time. :bounce:

[The Monster of Surrealton]

I was thinking of making it 23 seconds because random.

[crimsonsunbird]

another suggestion,
you could reduce the damage of the beams(using SME http://forum.metroidconstruction.com/index.php?topic=2196.0)

You may want to consider what I did in a unreleased hack I made for fun. (Super Metroid YOLO One Life.) Everything 1 hit kills you. (Sadly, I couldn't make everything do max damage but, I did what I could.) It was kinda funny to play and really challenging. I never beat it but, still fun to give yourself a challenge. :lol:

edit: Yeah, I forgot I renamed it. My bad.

Hmmm...

I think I'll save that for APOCALYPSE with the spikes.

[Alisa Orlova]

So many deadly spikes... It's reminded me  "I Wanna Be the Guy". I hope that MST will try to run it. Mu-ha-ha-ha!

[The Monster of Surrealton]

Appears I broke the rom while changing Tourian's palettes :O

SMILE crashes when I try to edit Mother Brain's room.

Hope you had a backup :o

Hope you had a backup :o

Might have to start over :(

Which should take a day or two.
