Last view: 31 days 		Hello everyone,

it seems many people seem to migrate over from good old rhdn, so this is a new thread for my Metroid Hack.

It builds upon resources from Rogue Dawn and can be considered a completely new game, a brandnew adventure for Samus Aran.

It features entirely new
- Graphics (custom Tiles, Blocks & Structrues)
- Animations and Parallax Scrolling
- Music
- Level Design
- Assembly Modifications, such as new Power-ups for Samus and some Mechanics

- there are 9 major areas planned.


Storyline, for the time being:

*******************
** SPACE COMPLEX **
*******************

---------
- STORY -
---------


Samus discovers a wormhole connecting long-distance points in time and space.
Last thoughts go to her former adventures, warm feelings surrounding her with memories of Adam, the animals, and all the friends she met, despite travelling mostly on her own.
Knowing this will be a one-way-trip she holds her breath for a second and bravely enters the black hole.

------ SWOOOOSH! -------

Trapped on RS 833:
Samus finds herself trapped on a strange place which seems familiar for some odd reason.
It's an uncanny valley, discovering a long lost planet with an abandoned space station.
It seems she hasn't unconvered her entire back story, clear findings of Chozo Remnants and familiar footprints .
The indices lead her to this place. The signal beeped loud on her spaceship while she was occasionally flying through unknown space clusters.
A trip through the time and space continuum ends - yet nobody's there. How did THEY get here in the first place?
She will have to uncover all the planet's secrets to succeed in her journey and make a successful escape. If that will be possible - she will also have to find that out.
Accessories old and new will help her in this dire situation - A help she desperately needs, stripped back from her powerful arsenal.
It seems the long trip made her get loose on all that she took with her - minus her pitiful shortrange armcannon.

Oh, this looks sweet. Gonna assume the Parallax Test GIF is from an older build.

Hey Hiryuu, thanks for your interest & the nice words.

It's from the same build, yet it lacks the updated Samus sprite, HUD and according Tileset i'm actually working on right now.
Here's a WIP bump from my tile editor right now:

Very cool tilesets, I'd bet it would look great on a CRT.

I could post some of the next screenshots with some shader applied, e.g. Retroarch's crt-easymode - which i am a big fan of. So you get some idea how this could look.
Thanks for your interest and the nice words!

I'm sad I don't have a working NES with a flash cart so I could do that. I DO have a working CRT at the office and a non-working NES so I'm only about halfway. I bet that would look nice, though.

I'm a bit on the losing side; i will for the time being not be able to test my own game on original hardware, since i am from Europe so everything is PAL. What a shame, since i have a CRT, a NES and SNES (+ more) here but can't really make use of it.
So yeah if somebody wants to share pics or videos of gameplay footage on real hardware i'd appreciate that.
I let you know when there's something to test, to play, or a small demo release, which is hopefully anytime soon (no ETA yet!).
