Oh you're still working on this? Awesome!

Good luck! I really want to try this hack when it comes out!

FAILED TO TAKE SCREEN SHOT! STRIKES AGAIN

Also I find the lower Brinstar palette to be sexy.

[FullOfFail]

Are you sure you didnt go over the room limit in that first one? That looks like tons of tiles, but maybe looks can be deceiving.

The tree BG in Brinstar is neat. Reminds me of I think TopMan's stage from megaman.

Go read Grime's room expansion guide; gives you around 32000 space to work with and can also be distributed throughout many different rooms.

Anyways, for the landing site, before and after, I know how you did that. ;P The screnies look delicious however.

YESISTRUE!! the Cider is still aging in the barrel. All the finest hacking projects improve with age, and Cider is looking om nom tasty. Hurry, or we shall all die!

[MetroidMst]

Improve with age, hurry or we wil all die? Leave it to DSO to come up with space/time paradoxes of doom for us all.

Anyway it seems kind of lame to say but I don't care for the blue thing in the BG of what was "red" Brinstar. I think orange/red/yellow would fit better from what I can see in the pic. The "green" Brinstar area looks great though.

Some of these palettes look quite amazing. This may be one hack that isn't trying to change a boatload of graphics, but it still won't be the same old thing with different level design because the palettes have so much...
...
love!  :razz:

[Cardweaver]

It's not dead! Thought you ought to know :)

Also more of the sexy brinstar palette!

[personitis]

HOLY SHIT! HELLO!

A workable shade of brown if I say so myself (provided I'm seeing that color right). Also, so you know, I played Cider's demo, got to Kraid and RQ'd.

[MetroidMst]

Cardweaver returns to mock all the doubters I see. Long time no see, but the thing I missed most was of course, "Failed to take screenshot."

Beware of incoming "Failed to take screenshot."

I am liking the colours. :^_^:

[Eppy37]

Those colors, look amazing.

Do not die, never, ever, nevevevevever

[Qactis]

Those palettes are yummy mmmmmm

[thedopefish]

Keep it up cardweaver.  I need some more foodstuffs.

[Cardweaver]

Hey everyone! Sorry for the long delay, but I finally have some free time to kill and I'm going to spend it working on Cider.

New screenshots (with the trademark 'Failed to take screenshot' of course):

Also, I finally got around to adding save stations so you console players out there can be happy too :)

*deleted post*

[Retroo]

Made me happy to see that you are stil working on this!  :^_^:

[Cardweaver]

What is with that random disembodied A on the map? Also, the images in the first post are dead ;-;

The A is on purpose, no worries ;)

As for the images, I'm pretty sure those are outdated since so much has changed anyway, so I'll just edit that post to remove them.

[DSO]

I still claim my beta testing position! <_<

Super happy to see this project active again, it was a huge influence on Event Horizon back in the day. Let us know if you ever end up with tech support issues or need some programming done - we'll be lurking on the IRC channel!

[personitis]

I should've guessed something was up when you popped onto my stream last night... :!:

Always great to see an older project get some progress (even if I didn't care a whole lot for Kraid). Things are looking well pieced together and colorful so keep up the work.

[SlyPork]

I'm really digging all the pallettes on everything and the rooms look well-designed. Also, looking at that norfair map, it appears that pretty much nothing is in it's normal vanilla place which is A-Okay with me. Looking forward to seeing the ongoing progress  :^_^:

[Cardweaver]

For those of you who don't hang out on irc... Start hanging out on irc!

Oh yeah also this:
