Super Metroid old school

[tbolt76]

What it means is  samus is taller in this game than she was in m1  plus she can cover more ground faster in sm than in m1 so im going to adjust accordingly

[Cadarot]

The solution is to make the rooms giant :|

[JAM]

Or disable running and increase gravity by 14% to match Metroid 1's gravity

[tbolt76]

Well the rooms arent going to be any bigger than in sm it would be just 1 block higher than in m1 and although the rooms will be identical to original metroid forget what you know.  there will be hidden rooms and goodies   everywhere  and maybe ill throw in some intact sm rooms just for the heck of it right now im just working on tileset design  adjusting palllete  wich i know nothing about without screwing colors up  then level design  then plms and enemies  and hopfully ill fifure out how to have a 16 bit version of the original m1 soundtrack ( i was particulary fond of upper norfair music in the original)  it will take time but its going to be a great game!

[tbolt76]

Ok Heres the deal  There will be no more starting over. im not screwing around with plms and enimies and such till i have all levels designed and working.  I just want to thank you all for your patience  as I have no idea of what the hell im doing.

And this is why learning asm and hex (even if only a little bit, and even if you never code a damn thing), is still worth your while because you know a lot more about what's going on in the game

[tbolt76]

Well i have some old brinstar areas done with no problems and now i have recreated the escape shaft with all the bells and whistles  (sj=haking explosions and flashing lights)  I,m going to town on tourian until i get the sm/ m1 tilesets  that someone is helping me out on!

wait, so you're almost finished with this hack?

[Qactis]

Fuck man forgot all about it, I should have it done today

Edit: I was finalizing the palettes for the png's in photoshop and was having trouble combining graphics from tourian to kraid's layer, the palettes are very similar, except for the white in kraid's lair being about 5 (on the 0-255 scale) darker and a gray being 3 different, and got frustrated with it for a while and took a break, then got distracted with real life job/gf stuff and completely forgot about it. I've found a good method for fixing this issue, so just give me a couple hours

[tbolt76]

Please bear with me  im just starting out and i dont know all the basics  so some rooms will look boring

i never did understand why people liked really big vertical rooms with very small platforms.
much rage is to be had.  :FURY:

[tbolt76]

Well in my game if you are willing to explore and forget what you know about m1  those tiny platforms will be removed from the equation!

I would like to make an announcemt. i have decided i am going to make 2 versions of my game  one will be true to m1 as much as possible  the other will be beefed up for more excitement.

tbolt76: It'd be much easier for everybody to see your images if you used img tags, rather than having to click on each one. :^_^:

[tbolt76]

Ok  sorry bout that  Well barring anymore difficulties i should be able to finish this thing

[tbolt76]

Im progressing nicely on the game  Im going over areas I have already done and am tweaking them so they look reaaly nice. and i have all the time in the world now because i was involved in a freak accident and now my ankle is broken.  ill post when there is more progress

[Parabox]

Goddamn freaks always running rampant...

[tbolt76]

I just came up with a new idea. you know how you have to go through the old escape shaft and mbs room from original tourian? Well Why not have it so you go through all of old tourian in its destroyed state? just for the heck of it?

[JAM]

Do you mean, after defeat of Mother Brain return to exploaded Tourian? This one is cool. If not (go through exploaded Tourian from the game start), why it should be already exploaded?

[tbolt76]

Maybe ill just do both just for grins and giggles  after all i dont know much about game hacking to mess around with mother brains room let alone be able to return after she is toast!  Just a fun idea I had

[tbolt76]

just to let everyone know  my project is not dead!  Im still going on it but its going to take awhile  good games are never rushed

[tbolt76]

Hey guys  Im maikng some real good progress and sorry I have not been updating lately  i had surgery and needed to recover but im resuming work tomorrow  Im going to expermient with a metroid 1 version of maridia  ill post pics and see what you all think!
