Just saying... Was that amongst the music that got lost on your broken HDD? If not, then IMO you should use that one instead because it's definitely more "action" sounding. The one in the demo just seems to be too mellow to me.arbiemnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529256402222473155.post-60879647213324212922011-10-27T19:05:04.182-03:002011-10-27T19:05:04.182-03:00" 'Not really a glitch, but that Metroid ..."

It is evident that this facility was being used as a breeding ground for the Metroid life form by the Chozo race."<br /><br />The ancient guardian discription I like, but you can make it more interesting just by addin a few details. "Automated Security System. After it's deployed, the mobile robot sentry tracks it's intruder, using dual laser beams and napalm projectiles to destroy anything in its grasp. Dispersing it's arsenol of weaponry makes the statue vulnerable to fire of any kind."<br /><br />Again, these are just notes, or minor details. I write for a magazine, so if you need help writing certain parts, ask me anytime!Kyrannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529256402222473155.post-1378416175373239292011-10-25T12:50:49.965-03:002011-10-25T12:50:49.965-03:00Hey Doc, I know I've been giving a few ideas a...Hey Doc, I know I've been giving a few ideas and want to run one more by you. I was thinking of your Metroid: Confrontation demo and thought it would be great if you added an achievement/trophy system in this game. Also, while we're at it, why not throw in some of the extras you included with Confrontation, such as the extra costumes? I really think you should do this game the justice it deserves. You're already showing you're not just remaking Metroid 2, but you're completely overhauling it. So go the extra mile and give us extras to be proud of.Robert Rnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529256402222473155.post-36840491826809802872011-10-25T12:42:18.764-03:002011-10-25T12:42:18.764-03:00Doc, brilliant job!

Superb job on the music, sound, background, sprite animation, collisions were excellent, your event order worked great, and the mini-boss was well placed! You might have a future doing this, you know? ;)<br /><br />My suggestions for revisement would be only in two areas. The descriptions of the logs when you pause the game need revision a bit. <br /><br />For example, for the one that you have pictured in the main article is:<br />"Exterminate all Metroid organisms in planet SR388. Find the Galactic Federation research and rescue teams."<br />My revised version would be:<br />"Primary Objective: Exterminate all Metroid organisms on planet SR388. Secondary Objective: Locate Galactic Federation's Research and Development Team." <br />Mainly because Samus is the rescue team sent for the research team.<br /><br />For the Metroid description, maybe change the first sentence to "The first evolutionary stage of the Metroid species." I like the rest.<br /><br />For the Chozo Temple "Built as a religious monument, many stone statues serve as the primary decor for this temple. Being abandoned only recently, the damage to this once great temple is still minimal."<br /><br />Just a few suggestions Doc, but overall, quite a superb job!Kyrannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529256402222473155.post-7979704362974327242011-10-25T10:58:53.118-03:002011-10-25T10:58:53.118-03:00im not sure you will do thi but will there be viso...im not sure you will do thi but will there be visorssamushunter242https://www.blogger.com/profile/12789498895854680456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529256402222473155.post-59385395845547276682011-10-25T08:43:27.813-03:002011-10-25T08:43:27.813-03:00Anonymous Anonymous said...

I had deleted the demo after completing it, but then I wanted to play it again so I re-downloaded it LOL. Anyway, I used all the same settings this time as last time EXCEPT I had the VSYNC option DISABLED, and that seemed to solve the problem with slow speed that I was having. So just to be clear, I was playing with the following options: Fullscreen, 1024x728 resolution, 32-bit graphics, vsync DISABLED, Joypad support enabled, and the game played flawlessly, so if anyone else seems to be having speed issues with the demo, try disabling the vsync option if you have it enabled. Truly excellent demo, Doc!!
