Bug hunt season
Every once in a while, I stop making new contents to actually correct all the issues present with the current game state. Every time I add a new mechanic, scripted event, boss battle, etc, new bugs appear. Also, in between versions of Game Maker, there are sometimes changes on how things work internally, specially in how strict variable initialization is in some scenarios.
The last couple of weeks have been almost exclusively bug fixes, optimizations and balance.
It's not the most exciting phase to write about, but it's very necessary.
There were also a couple of playtest sessions, and now Zeta Metroids feel just right. They ended up taking more effort and tweaking than most of the bosses in AM2R (Maybe except Torizo).
Up next will be a music production session, something that's lagging behind, production wise. Hopefully, I'll be able to show you something on the next update.
Not the most exciting update, I know. But the game grows more stable and polished, a little bit every day.

And debugging is progress, no doubt. Sounds like Area 4 is coming along pretty well now. Only Areas 5, the omega tunnels, and the final stretch left!
Each day brings us closer and I can't wait, Doc.
P.S. Yes, please share more music with us too. Your soundtrack result is as amazing as everything else.

I really can't wait for it to be finished. Keep up the good work.
Have a nice Weekend.
Thanks for this project
because of you im going to finish metroid 2!
Once the game is finished we'll be able to play a Metroid 2 that doesn't feel like someone is shoving barbed bamboo under our nails, like with the original.
Anyway, rushed games always turn out terrible, so please take your time with this. You don't want to have any regrets afterwards, do you?
You have our support!
You're doing great and I'm very excited to see the end product. (Regardless if it's in a year or two from now)

How can I fix this? Anyone know?
Do you realize you're working on this project for about 10 years now?
Wow, that's determination.
