Metroid: Confrontation

By -
So, the demo has a new name: Metroid: Confrontation


This name was suggested by Afro-Shroom.
The storyline will be on the simulation side, a training excercise based on the combat data researched in the first Zebes mission.

There were a lot of really cool ideas, and I thank you all for taking the time to share them. I had to choose the name and story that fitted the already existing demo best. Some of these ideas were so cool, that they deserve an entire game (Like the Ridley chase sequence, or the X incident dream).

If everything goes well, Metroid: Confrontation will be released on October 13th.

Glad to see you went with the Simulation suggestion, but I hope it'll still have some connections to SR388/Metroid II...

After all, Metroid II is the game I 'really' want to play.

Either way, it sounds good, so I look forward to it.

I have a question about the soundtrack of the upcoming tech demo, Metroid: Confrontation. Is Ridley going to have the same music as the last demo, or is he going to have a new song, presumabely a remix of his battle music. I hope you'll reply to this question.

Also, congrats, Afro-Shroom.

The fact that this is PC only and not on a handheld (GBA?) like the original is a real shame. I can only really look forward to someone being crazy enough to try and port this game to C++ (good luck whoever you are, you'll need it), or someone to reverse engineer game maker (I think that is damn near impossible), else I shall not have the time to play it, though the chances of that happening are minimal. I find this to be a real shame as this looks to be a brilliant piece of work and every time I look at it I am filled with disappointment at what I will be missing.

Since this has evolved into a sort of seperate thing, you're still working on M2 remake alongside this, right? :)

What would be cool is this game plus a version ıf the original Metroid 2,like in Metroid Zero Mission.But that would be illegal.
I played the demo but I felt as it was too far away from the original.Still,nice job.

No future for AM2R

By -
Nintendo of America, Inc. has filed a takedown request under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). I received the request on my personal email, so I'm complying with their requests. There will be no more AM2R updates, and no more releases under any platform.  Thank you for the support during all these years.

The future of AM2R

By -
As you may know already, AM2R received DMCA notices in all the download hosts, and some parts of this blog. So far, no C&D letter was received.  This project began a long time ago, while I was actually trying to learn the programming side of Game Maker. Instead of moving on with something else, when I learned a better way of doing something, I reiterated and improved the old code. Eventually, I learned to program in C#. Now I'm making a living as a professional programmer thanks to what I learned developing a fan game.  Technically speaking, I'm satisfied. Artists started offering help. First with the main enemies, then with sprites, enemies, bosses. The forums started to come alive with fans making feature suggestions, and always being positive and optimistic about the project. I added new contents, trying to be respectful about the established lore. Demo after demo people liked the game. Then the game was out, and for a brief time, players enjoyed the game the...

Skippy's 1st Anniversary!

 Today is a special day. Metroid , a game franchise from which I learned a lot about game design, was released 36 years ago. AM2R , my personal 10 year project from which I also learned a lot, was released 6 years ago. Skippy the Bot , the most popular of my little games on Itch, is now 1 year old. I'm still working full time as a game designer, and there's a lot I'd like to show you. Don't worry, I'll be posting here as soon as I can reveal anything. To celebrate the occasion, I released a huge update for Skippy.  Double the amount of levels (20) New water physics mechanics Episode and level select menus Record and collection tracking Flatpak release for Linux / Steam Deck users Many Quality of Life features Download / Play in Browser HERE Flatpak Release This little game got quite some attention, surprisingly. So I've been slowly adding contents to it. Now, 10 short levels might not sound as much, but each one is crafted to feel unique. There's entire game...
