Demo 1.4 Linux build

By -
Just a quick heads up, I uploaded the Linux version of AM2R Demo 1.4.
You'll find the updated links in the Demo 1.4 Download page.
Please share your experiences in THIS forum topic, if you have any trouble with this build.

Thank you very much for all the positive comments and suggestions. It's really comforting to see all the work that was put into an area to be enjoyed by people.

During the course of this week I'll be updating the soundtrack as well, so stay tuned.
Have a good week!

Woo! Thank you so much for catering to us Linux users. :) This is wonderful work so far, I took some game maker classes not long ago. The hard work you have been putting into the game is phenomenal.

Hello,

You've done an amazing job with this game. I've been following your progress and playing the demo's for the last couple of years, and you keep making the game better with each update. Thank you so much!

I did encounter one bug with this last update. When I began a Hard Mode file after completing 1.4 on normal, the game loaded with no bkgrd music. I tried deleting the file and making a new one, still no music. This didn't happen at all when I played through normal mode.

Thanks again for your hard work!

I was wondering if can you not change the music on research lab and forlorn descent. Also I really like the way plasma beam and when all the beams together sound like.

This keeps getting better and better! I love the soundtrack and the detail is phenomenal. I'm so glad this awesome game keeps rolling, I even did some youtube vids on it recently.

Since technology has now developed GameCube Controller adapters for PCs, could you possibly make it compatible? If its already compatible, it would be nice to know. I love the feel of a GameCube controller in my hands and while I haven't gotten the adapter yet, I'd like to figure out my controller preferences.

Hey, Doc! Just my opinion right after analizing the game's development this far. Suddenly, I realized that every single Area in planet SR-388 has its own environment and weather. And this was even noticed from the original game and later on Metroid Fusion. And here's my point: There's one last missing environment in this new version of the planet. What?

Analize it from both the Original Return of Samus and Fusion: Main tunnel is assembled with Sector 1 SRX; then, the water pump station is Sector 4 AQA; we have the Breeding grounds, resembled in Sector 2 TRO; we have even the Tower, where you gave that Norfair feeling, we can remember then Sector 3 PYR. By this far, the las obvious sector, is represented by the Omega Tunnels, represented in Fusion as Sector 6 NOC.

So then, where's Sector 5? We have two possible choices: The new area you (Doc) are working in, or even that longway tunnels right after the Omega Tunnels, right before the Queen's lair... Unfortunately, I can't just vote for any of those choices, as I think you're already done with the new area in terms of ideas and content; by the other side, the penultimate area is not recomended by obvious reasons: it is TOO CLOSE to the Metroid's nest.

My hope for a completely icy environment is minimal, as there's no much content to add to the game at this point, so don't be stressed by new ideas or some other crazy stuff. As I said at the beginning, it is just MY PERSONAL OPINION.

Keep improving this master piece. Bye.

While not a big problem, my wii u pro controller was not recognized by the game. I just used a key rebinder program.

Thousand thanks for this. It is better than I remember from the original game:)
Any chance to build a Raspberry PI executable (for version 2, arm7)?

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...
