Embarrasing Fact: Power suit made by lowest bidder
Or at least a teaser. ;) First a bit of background though.
Insanity is going to include new equipment, new abilities, new enemies, new surroundings... and frankly you're probably going to want a manual.
My original idea was to upload a bunch of txt files but require people to know the name of the file in order to find and read them. That was kinda lousy for a number of reasons though.
Instead of that, I decided to implement something completely unexpected.
When you reach certain parts of the game and encounter something new, it will automatically be added to a list. You'll be able to pause at any time and look through the text, which will tell you a good bit of detail about whatever you found.
I think I'll call it Samus's log book.

Here you can see the new tab for Samus's log book.

Of course at the start of the game, all you have explored is Ceres and Zebes...

Yay flavor text. I'll be rewriting stuff several times and tweaking the graphics quite a bit, I'm sure.
And one of the glitch screens that I happened upon while programming this: SUPER METROID PI

Because it wouldn't be Insanity if my computer wasn't as obsessed about Pi as I am.
