Project AM2R - Another Metroid 2 Remake

Ok, now that April's fools is over, here's this month's progress: THE LOGBOOK It was redone from scratch. It's now a big list, instead of being separated by categories. It's still ordered and labeled, and reading logs is a lot more intuitive. Just 1 button to display the (sometimes scrolling) text, that's it. The log pictures are bigger, and each entry can feature multiple images, as the text updates. Some of the cooler ones (Metroids and Minibosses) might end up featuring original concept art in these images. It's a minor detail overall, but it improves the way the story is presented, for those who take the time to read it.

They all draw 2 times, with different color blending, in additive mode. This means the game will run pretty slow on older computers, due to all the depth calculations and drawing tricks, but it's worth it.  Also, like Batman used to say:...
