[Winter 10] Metroid Quest

[sps999]

I am in the process of making a Metroid game for 2.5. It will have Custom Enemies, Bosses, Scripts, and a bunch of other stuff. I have 5 videos (more to come) of the game, and I would like to know what you guys think.

Story: This takes place after Super Metroid and Before whatever comes next. (I think it's Fusion or something). There was a bounty for anyone that could destroy a Space Pirate Frigate. As Samus goes there, she is attacked by Ridley and her ship is damaged. She then is forced to take salvation on a nearby planet and needs to do repair her ship but she discovers the planet she landed on has many secrets to unfold.

I imported a bunch of metroid sounds, so it fits with the game. I just wanted to know what you guys thought, and If I should make up a demo. (I'll post Screenshots eventually)

Looks good! I'm very interested in this and can't wait to play that worm boss, as it looks pretty fun. Good Metroid-esque story opening, too.

I watched your youtube videos, looks very promising! keep up the progress Im cant wait to play the final version!

[sps999]

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. The only tough thing is I'm trying to make the game long enough to be a game you don't really beat in one sitting, so it won't be done with too quick, but I'm trying to make it like a Metroid game which basically does what I mentioned before about being able to beat them in less than 3 hours.

Sounds interesting. I can't wait until you are done! When would you think you'd be done by? :surprise:

[Anthus]

the game itself looks fun, and the Ridley and Worm fights looks cool. However, some screens could use a bit more detail. Maybe puddles, and brush on Tallon V, and other random details in the space station? Nice start though.

I have a new video (which I also put in the first thread) and here it is:

It's a nice first try,the videos are impressive!However,you need to spice up the detail a bit.Don't ever be afraid to add a few random things on the floors.I was once working on something like this once,but I got bored of it and dropped it.

[sps999]

Well, since people are saying I needed to add some more detail in the game, I did just that. I hope you guys like the it now.

AFTER

This whole thing might take a while, considering I'm not very far. I can't measure this game by levels, because it is a metroid based game, but I'd say I have a game that provides about 45 minutes to 1 hour of gameplay (Death Free) and I want at least about 6 hours (Death Free) so that with deaths it would be a fairly long game. So I guess you can say I'm 15% done.

--Edit--
I changed the After screenshot to an even more updated one.

[sps999]

Ok, I have more screenshots displaying the new looks of the Tallon Overworld (which btw is just the temporary name until I can think of something) The screenshots are also in the first post.

It is shaping up even more, good work! The rain effects are good. However the BS Zelda trees seem a little out of place.

Feedback is not just welcomed, but encouraged too. :D

Also, I did not really put that much effort into making this seem like a demo, so a couple of areas you might walk into open space, meaning the area has met the edge of the World, so just turn back. Also, there may not be a clear end to the demo, so I'll tell you that once you reach Norfair WITH the Varia suit, you've done mostly everything there was to do.
