Absence
First of all, I want to appologise for my absence these weeks.
I had to take care of some personal matters, leaving me almost no free time or energy to work on the project. Progress these weeks was almost non-existant, except for some scarce work on the sountrack.
Things should become normal again soon, and blog posts will actually show some progress.
In the meantime, I re-uploaded Confrontation 2.5, since almost all the mirrors were deleted. I repackaged it to include 2 more translations (Hungarian and Norwegian) and 2 mods (Zero suit and 8-Bit GameBoy).
Thanks to all the great people that make Confrontation a better game.
Metroid: Confrontation v2.5
MediaFire - FileFactory - EasyShare
Download Mirror 1 - Thanks Matt!
Download Mirror 2 - Thanks Steven!
Still not convinced to give Confrontation another go?
There´s a small super secret room that nobody found yet. So if you thought you knew every inch of the game already, there´s some hardcore exploration still to be done. Whoever finds it first, gets a surprise gift...
If you find it, feel free to post about it on the Forums.
Note: It´s on v2.5 only (this release or the first one).
Good luck, and have fun!

I felt like I covered the entire game, so I went to Hard Mode and I'm doing it all again. This is such a chore, but I MUST find it!

That's not all of it?
LIES AND SLANDER! :p
J/K, going to go lookin' around. :)
a secret room you say? i shall hope to find it~
Not sure if it's worth it to keep looking. @_@
The obvious would be to bomb every wall, floor, and ceiling. However, maybe there's some trick to finding it...
Hey doc, if no one finds it can we have a hint? =P
Also, did the charge beam room get moved?
Too bad the comments were lost.
And the trivia doesn't have to be over. We can move it to the forums!

The message also said "another challenge awaits..."
I would assume this "challenge" had something to do with the INSANE damage the enemies can do to ya. So I took the liberty of Leaving Ridley alive and fight him in debug mode.
Hardest thing I have ever done in Confrontation. This was definately the challenge. =)
:)
P.S. Doc, I gotta tell you, you are awesome at what you do and I'd like to thank you for it. Keep it up man :D
::kissy noises::
Sorry, I hope the ass kissing is more valuable than info about the project.
Impatience doesn't gain anything for any of us.
on a more serious note- really stop it though, it pisses people off to see a lot of the comments on doc's posts be bad ones. and i'm pretty sure that doc doesn't like it either.
I have a deal for everyone. Be good on this website through the release of Doc's game, and I will split my pop-tart with you. It's Smores, so if you refuse, you are automatically an assclown.
At tight spaces I kept finding myself holding down while running to automatically go into the morphball.
I am addicted to this project. XD
My all time favorite is Super Metroid. I have such great memories from when this game first came out. My mother said that since I had all A's and a B for my last report card, she would buy me a game. She also said that I could have any 3 days off during the semester, like sick days for a job. I remember holding that cardboard box with my eyes glued to the artwork on the cover. The crisp smell of the instruction book on the way home will stay with me forever. When I finally heard the click from powering on the Super Nintendo, it was agonizing waiting for those red letters to come across my screen, but when it did...
All 3 sick days were put into effect when Ridley attacked the Ceres Station that day. As the speakers of my television sung the tune of Crateria, you couldn't wrestle that gray controller from my hand. I was in Love. I would be damned if I was gonna let Ridley get away with an infant Metroid I worked so hard to rescue! Many mountain dews, pop tarts and hot pockets had gone by as I stepped into Tourian for the first time in 16-bit land. It was familiar, but new. Mother Brain was gonna get it, and boy did I let her have it! But this time she had a surprize for me. When that sinister music started playing..."BAH, BAH, BAH, BAH-BAH, BAH, BAH, BAH-SCREEEEEE!"... My eyes were wide, my hands were sweaty, my legs were jumpy, and it was AWESOME! An epic battle ensued, and my younger brother watched with a full tank of jealousy. The ending was satisfying, but just a stall in my second go at the game.
One of my best childhood memories.
:)
That is probably the best Super Metroid story I ever heard. =)
Not one other project is even close, and it would be hard pressed to find 2 that have not quit.
thank you for dedicating so much time to remake Metroid 2 for us Metroid fans. much appreciated! :)
now, go and get drunk! :P
Just be patient and let Doc work at his own pace.. He has a life too and I'm sure he'll update soon.. His update are usually 3-4 weeks apart.
Especially since doc has told us he's having personal troubles. He has a life too, you know. Just stay calm, you'll get you're AM2R when he's done with it.
So I have always had somewhat of a crappy cell phone (a flip phone) because I never saw the need for a fancy one with all of the crazy internet functions and different apps. That and I never saw it necessary to pay hundreds of dollars for a phone...ever. I texted a lot, I didn't like to call a lot, for everything else I used my computer. I never understood why people were so addicted to their phones. So this past week Best Buy had a deal where if you switch to them with 3 or more people and get on a contract, they give you a each this free Samsung Epic smart-phone. I was kinda hesitant cause it is like a $600 phone, but they were free. So we signed up cause the plan is only like sixty bucks a months, unlimited internet, texting, calls to other cell phones, and blah blah blah. So I got home and started playing around with this thing...
It...is....AWESOME! I have never seen such a great phone. EVER! I got a NES, SNES, and GAMEBOY emulator on there and transferred my metroid ROMs to it. Now I have Metroid, Return of Samus, Metroid 3, Fusion, and Zero Mission on my phone and they are crystal clear! I take back all the things I said about people who are addicted to their phone, cause I will admit, I played straight through Super Metroid yesterday whilst on a boat for 3 hours, and I didn't feel the least bit guilty about being rude... Well, maybe a little. I transferred my other games shortly after.
The point of this thought was I know we all love Metroid on this site, and seeing as that is wonderful taste to start with, I know you guys may have suggestions for other cool games that maybe one or two of us have not played, or even heard of. Maybe we can share ideas? I love this phone, and if you have any app suggestions either, I would love to hear it!
Right off the bat, my favorite NES games are:
Metroid
Castlevania 1-3
Mega Man 1-6
Zelda 1&2
Blaster Master
Bionic Commando
Contra
Double Dragon 1-3
Fester's Quest
Life Force
Ninja Gaiden 1-3
Shadowgate
Deja Vu
Uninvited
The Guardian Legend
Your tech demo shows that you've got a good handle on the mechanics. I enjoyed playing it.
Keep up the good work!
There is a project called Mini-troid, which looks kinda cute, but overall I think does not count as a Metroid game.
