If it doesn't suck, it'll be the FIRST game maker game I've seen that doesn't suck, and that's something else entirely.<br /><br />I'll rework Brinred later on when more stuff gets finalized, but I'll add the necessary powerups in first :pSaltyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900378267373330194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737863456373076152.post-45104043661014208402010-01-18T03:05:11.127-08:002010-01-18T03:05:11.127-08:00Yeah. Well, the element weaponry could make combat...Yeah. Well, the element weaponry could make combat more interesting, (giving enemies immunities, etc), and could be used in puzzles, but I think the ideas better in a metroid game that you can switch beams in. (Whoops. Grabbed the ice beam. Now I gotta track ALL the way to the other fire beam, and come ALL the way back.) :D<br /><br />The game tested wonderfully! I've only beaten Metroid 1 once, admittedly, but while I was playing it I couldn't tell the difference between the cartridge and your game! (Well, until I cheated anyway :P)<br />Unfortunately for lousy cheaters, when you turn off Uber-mode, any previous power ups (exincluding energy tanks and missiles) are removed, and they still count as collected.<br />In BrinRed, you need to add the morphball and bombs to the beginning. The only only to get anywhere is by cheating. :(<br />Also, I saw the credits. Aweshum! :3<br /><br />Btw, have you seen project AM2R?<br />If you haven't, take a look at it. It's an amazing Metroid 2 Remake! (It's not SR388)<br /><br />http://metroid2remake.blogspot.com/Sudtraphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03083666378755886069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737863456373076152.post-50950821704923632722010-01-17T20:27:26.868-08:002010-01-17T20:27:26.868-08:00A wide array of upgrades. You've got to remem...A wide array of upgrades. You've got to remember that combat is not the largest part of the game, it's the wandering around solving small puzzles and navigating the maze.<br /><br />I put these beams in so the player would have some options as to which beams they like to use to get around. When I play Super Metroid, I don't use the Ice Beam until the very end, but other than that just the most powerful beam on hand. I figured I could allow some wiggle room for which is the most powerful beam and let the player pick.<br /><br />As for the hacking thing, I had a script written out a while ago for the next step in the Metroid series, post Fusion, that would involve something similar. I'll post it at some point, as it's a first draft right now.Saltyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900378267373330194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737863456373076152.post-9897059803757767972010-01-17T16:14:58.972-08:002010-01-17T16:14:58.972-08:00Awesome! Also, Project AM2R is still going! It'...Awesome! Also, Project AM2R is still going! It's nearing completion!<br /><br />Have you ever thought about putting element weapons in Metroid? I just looked at another metroid game, and gave a list of suggestions that sounded pretty good.<br /><br />"Well, if Samus is dealing against elements in game (such as wind and or earth(how about lightning?)), the suit gives you resistance to the element. They could be bonuses that you don't need to beat the game, hidden in corners. <br /><br />Maybe for other upgrades, faster charging? <br /><br />What if you had unique beam combos in game? Such as if you turn off the wave beam, while having the ice and charge on. When you shoot walls, it forms ice crystals you can stand on, allowing you to climb walls. Of course, with the spiderball and or bomb jumping, space jump, the tactic is rendered moot. Also, super heated walls, the crystal will melt.<br /><br />If you only have wave and fire, it makes a flamethrower.<br /><br />Or.. What if you put hacking into the game? Hacking into doors, robotic enemies, etc. (Look up and play Iji if you haven't already)<br /><br />There's also shields you could make, such as -<br />Have the wind, fire and charge beam equipped. Squat with powerbombs selected, and then Samus will generate a high velocity wind shield around her. If an enemy strikes Samus, it shoots out fire. (the shield costs a powerbomb)"Sudtraphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03083666378755886069noreply@blogger.com
