AMTA - (April's fools post)

By -
After some headaches with the screen resize code, I was able to successfully build AMTA as an HTML5 app. I also fixed some typos and grammar issues, and added a way to speed up the text.
This makes replaying the game much easier and faster.
The next feature should be to make the entire script read from a text file, allowing easy customization and expansion of the story, for people who enjoy modding.

Here's the updated download info:

AMTA
Another Metroid Text Adventure v1.0


DOWNLOAD
Windows - Mega - MediaFire
Linux - Coming eventually


What is it?
It's the ultimate Metroid text adventure. Choose your own path, survive the dangerous caves of planet SR388, uncover the secrets of the ancient Chozo, and take part in the most important event in the Metroid universe.

  • Multiple paths
  • CRT Style text
  • Easy to read font, even on mobile
  • Multiplatform

Feel free to discuss the game at the forums. Please be mindful of spoilers.

Doc, at last, you've finished it!
Congratulations, and thanks for such an amazing work!
The game is stunning! It gives a lot of possibilities to speedrunners and sequence breakers. Just a masterpiece! Also the atmosphere is scary as hell! I hope, Nintendo won't try to prohibit this great game, because that's the remake all Metroid fans deserve!
Thanks, Doc!

Although the 3D Metroid thing surpassed this one in the comedic department, this one is more entertaining. I think would fun to put in as a bonus feature for the finished game.

Also, I forgot to ask last year how you pulled that 3D thing off. Did it actually update automatically or did you program it to turn to 3D on April 1st for that particular update?

I tried using the Magnetic Boots and the Mining Laser on a -1% speedrun out of bounds, but I accidentally permanently returned the game into Other M again.

If anyone else has this problem you can get around it by deleting System32 and giving your SOUL to Kraid on a pirate run.

Y'know what? I genuinely enjoyed this. Though I couldn't help but feel bad when befriending the newborn creature got it killed anyway but I guess that's because I recently went through Undertale. Other than that, it was a fun game to explore.

This is hilarious, I like how you make every typical metroid thing actually kill you. I see a small tunnel, so you would normally think to roll in it with morph ball like you would in an actual game. Or there is a missile red door but that ends up killing you if you shoot it. These really cracked me up. I love it when game developers make fun of their game/video game logic. I started following this project I think 2 years ago. And the first april fools joke was the one about turning it into NES Other M I think. I had no idea you did an april fools joke and I believed everything until I read the comments. That joke hit me hard. Anyways, you are the best Doc and I know you are going to make this the best Metroid game ever.

Please make a metroid game with SA-X sprites and making doors explode when you shoot them with super missiles... I always thought that was the sickest thing lol... please?

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...
