AM2R Soundtrack 1.33 Release - Looking for an artist
SOUNDTRACK RELEASE
I dedicated this month to 2 things primarily: Fixing all the bugs that started popping up in the Game Maker Studio version of AM2R, and to give the soundtrack an update.
Since I'm not using the Caster extension anymore, I now use the built-in audio functions for music playback. This means I have to change the overall volume of every track. This is a good opportunity to actually do a proper mastering work, after tweaking some instruments on some songs.

Now, the soundtrack is not finished, the current tracks will be eventually improved, and more tracks are going to be added as they are finished. That's why I'm including a version number with it. This one corresponds to the upcoming demo update, that will feature all the speed optimizations I'm working on right now.
The only thing missing is the cover art...
AM2R IS LOOKING FOR A TALENTED PHOTOSHOP ARTIST!!!!
If you...
- Have talent at digital painting
- Want to contribute with AM2R to achieve worldwide fame and glory (*)
- Are capable of being part of a team of passionate people, and wish to work accordingly
* Results may vary, we might not reach fame and glory
Then this is your chance to expand your portfolio with some awesome Metroid art.
For now, I'm looking for someone that can provide a cover for the Soundtrack Album.
Once the cover is done, I'll be reuploading the soundtrack including it. If everything goes well, the artist might be drawing artwork for the intro and ending cutscenes of the game too.
If you're interested, please visit THIS forum thread and post some of your work. Links to Deviant Art are ok. Having Metroid artwork on your portfolio is not necessary. If you wish to show mockups or sketches for a potential AM2R Soundtrack cover, go ahead. Just keep in mind that your work might not be chosen.
I'll be making the selection in about a month from now, so please, spread the word.
PROGRESS
The Game Maker Studio version of the game started showing plenty of small bugs. Some are tiny details that require small tweaks, others are consequences of the poor coding skills I had 5 years ago, and need some more work. Performance wise, it's a lot better than the currently released demo.
And to make things even better, Nommiin/Decayed was kind enough to provide a license of the YoYo Compiler. Actually compiling the project boosts the performance a lot. It's about twice as fast.
This means the upcoming demo update will run faster, smoother and (hopefully) without the speed issues some users experience today. You'll be able to play in older computers, and to actually record your playthroughs without much slowdown.
All of my time is being dedicated to have this update ready as soon as possible. Once it's released, AM2R will officially have lived through 4 different versions of Game Maker (the project started on Game Maker 6).
As always, comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Anyways, the project is coming along great, played the demo for the first time about 2 months ago and was blown away! So excited to be able to explore another metroid world!
You clipped and/or dynamic range compressed your waveforms...

Thanks a Lot
En el primer demo que se hizo en este proyecto, que luego quedó como el primer demo de Metrod Confrontación, el sonido para tomar un misil usted lo había hecho como el clásico metroid 2, pero no sé que le ocurrió luego, que colocó el típico sonido de metroid fusion y mission zero.
Este era el antiguo sonido que tenía:

Al final todo lo hacen cambiando a algo que cada vez se acerca menos a lo que iba al proyecto. Ojalá al menos nos dejen escoger los sonidos y músicas que se colocarán en AM2R
En la nueva area que segun dicen ellos que vas a poner nueva deberias poner al cazador sylux(el te persigue despues de Metroid prime corruption final 100% despues de ese sigue metroid 2), Una pelea dificil ,Y creo que tengo algunas ideas de sus ataques:
1:que cuando utilize su Neutrinarm (vea metroid prime hunters para mas detalles) tal vez te pueda paralizar por unos segundos 2: Su forma de morfosesfera el cual pone 3 bombas unidas controladas Y otro ataque a tu antojo =)
(puntuacion a este gran juego 10/5 ,Puntuacion del original 4/5 :D
