I guess how much is considered low will depend on the ammount of Energy Tanks collected.<BR/><BR/><BR/>>are you going to add any of the super metroid add ons like the grapple beam or the x-ray visor?<BR/><BR/>No. Grapple beam is too complicated to make properly. Besides, keeping the grapple momentum will feel strange with Zero Mission physics, IMHO. I´m not sure about X-Ray, it takes away the rewarding feeling of finding a well hidden item. The game won´t be as massive as Super Metroid, so exploring the relatively small map won´t be a chore.<BR/><BR/><BR/>>I agree with SSSword Master regarding the use of the zero mission version of this ship.<BR/><BR/>Among other things, an original ship sprite is planned. <BR/><BR/><BR/>>I have always felt that Metroid II was a spiritual successor to the Alien movies in the foreboding techno-organic environment department.<BR/><BR/>Gunpei Yokoi was inspired by the Alien movies, we all know where the "Ridley" name comes from. I wonder how the Metroids would look like if they were designed by H.R. Giger.<BR/><BR/><BR/>>I remembered how the above surface atmosphere shown in II was so extremely thin.<BR/><BR/>Don´t worry, I´ll be redoing the surface of SR388 to match the desertic look described in the original Boxart and in the manual. The sky and background will be redone too.<BR/><BR/><BR/>>Are you ever going to contact Nintendo about the project when it's finished?<BR/><BR/>I don´t know. If they were interested in a Metroid 2 remake, they could assemble a development team and do it in 4 months.<BR/><BR/><BR/>>I searched through the some of the blog and i can't exacly find all the legal information regarding nintendo. <BR/><BR/>You´re right, I should add a disclaimer just in case. <BR/>I´ll see if I can add a footer or something to the blog.<BR/><BR/><BR/>>I'm curious if the final product would/could have a level editor built into it.<BR/><BR/>It would require to change the way the levels are stored, and I should redo all the maps with this new format. No, thanks.<BR/><BR/><BR/>>I had an idea for the spider ball, what if you could toggle it on and off by holding and releasing the diagonal aim button. I think it would make using the ability more functionable. <BR/><BR/>Many people suggested this, I´ll try it out.<BR/><BR/><BR/>>I was wondering how your going to do the alpha to gamma and zeta to omega metroid evoloutions. <BR/><BR/>I was thinking of the original morph way, if we manage to make it look good. I´ll talk to HyruleSwordsMan about it, but if it´s too complicated I guess you´ll find the Metroids already evolved.<BR/><BR/><BR/>>Though I prefer having a look-up and look-down button like in Super Metroid, and perhaps a button for dash as well.<BR/><BR/>I´ll add the separate aim buttons, but not the dash one.<BR/><BR/><BR/>>Look at this metroid 2 remake i found a while back, i want to show you the way they made the background for planet sr388<BR/><BR/>Too bad the project is dead, I´d love to play that.<BR/>The new surface will look something like that, I don´t know if it´ll look that good.DoctorM64https://www.blogger.com/profile/10652269714424758715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529256402222473155.post-33128859389082266902009-01-09T22:44:00.000-02:002009-01-09T22:44:00.000-02:00@"Dark Master"Well it was just an idea of how he c...@"Dark Master"<BR/><BR/>Well it was just an idea of how he could've made his background for SR388, the moon, stars, ect.xCYBERKIDxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09714589057831415737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529256402222473155.post-402057442750389922009-01-09T20:56:00.000-02:002009-01-09T20:56:00.000-02:00hm, ustedes enseriamente tienen que practicar el i...hm, ustedes enseriamente tienen que practicar el ingles un poco mas lol. no sabia que el doctor habalaba espaniol, pero como el, yo tambien prefiero ingles.<BR/><BR/>Now then, how about a new update, what'r you gona work on throughout January? i'm still excited for those artists aruditions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529256402222473155.post-34628885729888597702009-01-09T20:12:00.000-02:002009-01-09T20:12:00.000-02:00Vaya parece que el inventario va tomando forma te ...Vaya parece que el inventario va tomando forma te felicito "Doc" ^^.<BR/><BR/>Siento no hablar en inglés que lo escribo bien pero prefiero escribir así ya que me llevo mas fluido hablando. <BR/><BR/>Con respecto al inventario ¿tiene pensado algún estilo personal en cuanto a los recuadros y la fuente del texto?

The metroids have been confined to a small limitation of their forms for much to long. ;)<BR/><BR/>Metroid II was done in a very limited palette that in the end only communicated shades of yellow on our Gameboys. Even so, I hope you keep the doom and gloom of the original game. I have always felt that Metroid II was a spiritual successor to the Alien movies in the foreboding techno-organic environment department. In my opinion the minimal sound design and ambient music used are also brilliant in this approach.<BR/><BR/>After playing Metroid Fusion where SR388 was shown looking very similar to Zebes, I remembered how the above surface atmosphere shown in II was so extremely thin. Again this could be limitations of the GB, but the atmosphere is harmful to Samus above a certain point. You can see it on this map:<BR/><BR/>(Warning this is a 5gb image, although totally worth the download)<BR/>http://www.vgmaps.com/Atlas/GB-GBC/MetroidII-ReturnOfSamus-SR388.png<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure what the designers intended by showing stars on the surface. My guess is that it is night when she lands and night when she leaves. The sparse-alien vegetation and lack of any life-form on the surface also contribute to my suspicion that the surface was meant to be barren, dark, and cold. The box art seems to confirm this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/93/Metroid2_boxart.jpg<BR/><BR/>I know it may be hard to keep the feel of the original game with the color happy Metroid Fusion having left it's mark on the series. I think that little touches like leaving the night sky on the surface could go a long way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529256402222473155.post-66040667542654949052009-01-03T01:41:00.000-02:002009-01-03T01:41:00.000-02:00Happy New Year!I have playing your Demo game and I...Happy New Year!<BR/><BR/>I have playing your Demo game and I think you are doing a very good work there.<BR/><BR/>I am very ansious to play you AM2R completed, because I started to play Metroid 2: The Return of Samus and i am very lost what to do in there.<BR/><BR/>So i hope you finish your game soon.<BR/><BR/>P.S I can´t wait too. ¬¬Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529256402222473155.post-15364112871744334082009-01-01T19:26:00.000-02:002009-01-01T19:26:00.000-02:00I agree with the two about the MZM style super met...I agree with the two about the MZM style super metroid/metroid 2 gun ship, and also instead of the super metroid chozo statues you should consider using the MZM ones, the super metroid ones look kinda weird..<BR/><BR/>awesome subscreen by the way.xCYBERKIDxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09714589057831415737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529256402222473155.post-85913130850592820792009-01-01T16:11:00.000-02:002009-01-01T16:11:00.000-02:00I agree with SSSword Master regarding the use of t...I agree with SSSword Master regarding the use of the zero mission version of this ship.<BR/><BR/>When I see you use the super metroid version of the ship, that really gives away the fact that this game is fan made.<BR/><BR/>I know another metroid project is using that fan made zero mission version of the ship but it doesnt look like its theirs, so I really suggest you use it.<BR/><BR/>Please consider it.
