All aboard the soul train

You all are treading upon a slippery slope--do you all want to taste divine retribution? :P

Acclaimed Threshold

Constant Sorrows

At this point, nice as it'd be, it's just not worth it. If someone in the future wants to take Aegis and use that sort of black magic trickery to DMantra-size it, they're free to do so. I simply can't deal with this thing sitting around unfinished any longer.

Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!

I'm not even sure if you can get in trouble with yourself for hack begging, and asking for a quicker completion of your own hack? Razz

Quote from Acheron:

I can comfortably and confidently claim now that this game is truly going to be released some time this year for a very simple reason: I'm out of fucking ROM space to work in. Bank $7F is completely full. So, you know, that's good.

I'm going to assume $7F is a typo, since that section of RAM is reserved for DMA transfers of room tilemaps (tiledata, bts, etc). LOL

Without looking it up, what do you think the definition of the word "Aegis" is?

Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!

We went through this in the actual Aegis thread, as well as its pronunciation. It's most commonly thought of as a shield.

I check this board every day to see if there is an update to this project.

What'd you say?

I'm not going to lie, but I don't there will be any update for a long, long, long, LONG time.

I agree. I am not expecting anything. So it doesn't make too much sense.

Hey, we can always hope, can't we? =)

Yeah. It kind of feels good to hope.

Agreed. I check far more often then I should, hoping for anything, but its been totally dead for too long.

Aegis is the "Chinese Democracy" of SM hacks in terms of how long it pends. Hopefully, when and if it sees the light of day, it will be a little better received.

Acheron, thank you so much for coming back and completing this. :)

I remember eagerly awaiting Aegis back in 2008, when I was living in California. Flash forward 3 years; I've graduated, moved to China, moved to Washington DC, got married, got a career, and now I'm finally going to get to play Aegis! I still check back in on these forums once every 6-9 months to see if Super Metroid Aegis has moved to the Now Playing section. :)

To be honest, I really don't care if the escape sequence is special. I loved Eris. Loved it to bits. But when I killed Mother Brain, I stopped. It's the journey that's the fun part in Metroid, not the destination. :) And I can't wait to embark on the journey you've made for us.

When this releases, I'm going to cancel my weekend plans, buy myself a nice bottle of wine, and cozy up in bed with my laptop for a weekend. A little celebration, a toast to all your effort. Please know that by actually finishing this and putting it out there, you've done something pretty excellent that will put a smile on the face of thousands of people all over the world. Thanks for that. :)

Hated by all

Well, it's nice to come back here in a long while and find out you're still making decent progress. I'm not going to complain about how this is on my wait list for ages (no pun intended), I've waited much longer for other stuff to come out.

By other stuff, that included FF13 (and look how that turned out after three years of waiting) and currently, Half-Life 2 Episode Three and the Falcom-designed remake of Ys IV (it's for the new PS Vita). *must resist Valve Time joke*

Acheron, your tantalizing piece of work is still in the minds of Super Metroid hack fans everywhere. May you be well.

Umm. Acheron, are you still working on this? If the project is dead it is better to say it than keeping us waiting for it. Is it that you do not have time or that you are stuck at some programming problem or something? We would all love to play this awesome hack.

Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!

Quote from Quietus:

The last Acheron said was that he was busy with real life stuff, but that it was still being worked on. It'll be released when it's finished, and there's currently no time scale for that.

The project should simply be released as-is or passed on to someone with more free time to finish.

Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!

To be honest, what 'should' be done with it is solely the decision of the creator. Also, there are no guarantees that if somebody else were to take over, you would be playing the creator's vision.

Televangelist

2012-08-03 07:22:20 pm

If I understand it correctly, the creator's vision is fully implemented already -- all that's left is some custom music. I'm planning to play the damn thing on mute, anyway, so a delay approaching half a decade over the musical score seems a little pointless.

Hey when is this hack coming out?
I have been waiting for ages for it to release! >:::IIII
