Progress

Most of my free time these last weeks I found myself at the studio, waiting for customers or having the studio rented for rehearsals. So I did make use of it. Production of the soundtrack advanced quite a lot, so did a lot of the environmental sound design. Areas 2, 3 and 4 have many mechanisms (and robotic enemies) that were silent, until now.

Also, a feature I experimented a couple of months ago with, might end up being an actual feature of the game: Sound Effect sets.
Some games have different "ambience" sets for any sounds that are played in certain areas (like echoes in caverns), I recently gave it another try, and I was able to come up with a way of doing just that, without major slowdown. The performace is still being tested in several systems, and it might end up being an optional feature.

Anyway, if you're looking for the links that used to be in the right pane of the Blog, they are now found in the Metroid: Confrontation page, up here. I also added dedicated pages for general info about the project, and the Demo.
Have a good week!

Finally some decent progress on the ambiance and music.

as i recall, that was the one category that suffered most.
glad to see that it's been worked on to some degree.

Yeah, primer comentario! Doc, me alegra que progreses en el juego y que nos mantengas informados. Desde que conocí tu proyecto he estado todos los días esperando a que termines. Si sigues con ese ritmo, te aseguro que lo terminarás en un par de meses (talvez esté siendo demasiado optimista, no? xD)...
Ok...sigue así, oh, y ¡¡¡Feliz día del padre!!!

Jonathan Shine said…
Hey doc, I have some suggestions for you: You should have a twitter and facebook dedicated to this game!

ALSO, you should offer an email subscription service, so whenever you post a new blog, all subscribers are notified via email.

This will massively increase your fanbase!!! :)

Not to bring a downer on everyone, but you DO realize that once your project reaches 80-100% completion, you're going to get slapped with a CAD latter, just like every other awesome remake project that was floating around for a time (Chrono Trigger 2, Streets of Rage Remake, the Mario PC game, Atari Adventure remake, etc.).

Just in case, you might want to have an alternate delivery method of providing the game set in place once it's finished.

it souds great. I can´t wait to play the complete game
I agree with Jonathan Shine. Keeping track of the blog is hard for me, sometimes I forget to check the blog for months. I'd like to subscribe to you. Making a Facebook page is also a great idea, many bands/projects are using it nowadays.

Después de las demos definitivas y trailers y leyendo tus post pensaba que tendrías el juego listo para abril de este año, pero veo que no será así, ¿crees que podría lanzarse a mediados de este verano? , ¿Qué queda para terminar el juego? Estoy ansioso

I'd really enjoy if still this year the game was ready. It's funny that nowadays I play a PS3 (soon I'm buying a Wii or Wii U) but this "simple" graphic game attracts more than the very most modern games I have. Fun and creativity are a lot more influent than technology.

Can't say thank you yet since the game isn't released already, but I wanted you to know you have all my support for your work. Keep up the good work, you can be proud of yourself :)
Sou fan de Metroid. comecei a acompanhar seu projeto. Continue trabalhando nele. Estou ansioso para jogar.

No April fool this year? Shame on you^^

Just kidding, the progress sounds great and the Metroid Queen in your last post gave me pure shivers. Keep it up, man ;)

When the project is done, will you release the editable file?

In the spirit of all of the metroid rom hacking, I think it would be a good idea for you to release it. It would also be a cool way for newcomers to get into serious work with Game Maker.
