Hi,

The game we are working on is a indie 2d mestroid game.

Basic story: Samus is going on a mission to recover date from probe, that crashed on unexplored planet VE41.

In game graphics:

samus run test animation

What you can expect? At the moment engine and story are in development. The game will play in 1024x768 res and Dx9 fx. New gamplay ideas. Custom OST and some remixes - sample track - http://www.box.net/shared/2g25biv01z.

Thanks

Hi there,

I did this drowing as a concept , based on snes metroid samus sprite, for a metroid game which me and my mate are thinking of making. Althou, becouse i lack of time, i rather wont be able to make original graphics, so the game will be probubly based on official metroid game sprites. But if someone talented would like to do charater sprites in hi res or 3d characters, that would be awsom.
We will be making this game on Construct. Thanks to its HA, it fully supports Dx9c. We thinking of making 3d platforms - 2d gameplay.
Anyway, tell me what you think about this gfx. And yea - good spriter/3d artist is welcome. Game has no title yet, althou i`m working on its story and map.
cheers.

This does look good. However, you probably ought to post stuff like this in 'The Arts', even though you're making it into a game concept, because this particular thread is just about the artwork you're doing.

Green-Kirby, ROAR!

Are you going with pre-rendered layers?
becuse a metroid game with that, Would be awesome.

Hi,

Thanks for reposting. Yea, this is only a concept. Same as this one:

Btw. Can you tell me which of this concepts iyou think is bether? cheers

I can tell you now, that the game will be an original chapter in metroid story, not a remake.
We are thinking of making prerendered graphics, but that depends of our 3d graphic artist avaibility.

That ship does look pretty good. Good job with your artwork.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I much prefer the second image to the first. The first one just doesn't seem very... game-ish, if you understand what I mean.

Same here. It kind of looks like you're making a 'Metroid HD' or something laugh new

Devonodev: Other D

i dont know, they both look so awesome!

Yea, sort of :) Fe day ago, a good mate of mine said same thing :). but yea, i still want to make one more concept of an one idea that sticked to my mind some time ago.

thank for replaying. seriusly, you are metroid fans - same as we, and i bet you have got loads of thing of hat you would like to see in metroid game. write them down, and we might use them. :)

Very different art style. Unique/different = good, as far as im concerned.

Fear Me! (Or else...)

So, out curiosity, since this hasn't been seen for quite a while, how is it progressing? Are you starting out just keeping the original metroid game, but updating all the graphics? B/c that would be really cool in itself. Please? lol laugh new

Interesting tune there! :o

The link to the 2nd pic is only the small preview pic.

Fear Me! (Or else...)

Wow... I honestly admire and envy your graphics work. I just went back and actually looked at your pictures just now laugh new

. Is that a screenshot of the landing site, in the first picture? And how did you get it to accept better pixels?

Thx for comments.

Bioniclegenius @ Yea, thats the landing site.
what do you mean by saying "better pixels" ?
We`re making brand new metroid game, with new ideas for gamplay and new story, but still kipping the feal of the classic game.
So sorry but no SM remake.

About the progress-well my programmer is working hard making the engine. first version of it i`ll supose to get at the end of this weekend. Plus, when engine ready, we`re going to make few additional useful things.

i`ll fix 2nd link in a sec/edit-FIXED and i added samus run test animation.

Bioniclegenius

Fear Me! (Or else...)

Ok, so that's what's going on. You're not just going back and redoing the graphics (when I said better pixels, I meant making it accept them one by one instead of in groups of 4 or 8), you're redoing the whole shibang from scratch. Good luck with this!

Acclaimed Threshold

Constant Sorrows

Bionicle: I think I get what you're saying, but you absolutely slaughtered the terminology. You're talking about resolution, which is the number of pixels on-screen. Higher resolutions=smaller pixels=smoother graphics.

And this is the hacks and fangames forum. We tend to forget the latter, since good fangames are few and far between... but this one's not using the SM engine.

megatronx: Keep it comin', boss.

Sorry, but I couldn't think of the word for a while. Thanks!

Also, do you have any rooms completed? If so, how many? I'm just curious about your progress here.

megatronx

2008-09-26 03:34:14 pm

well, no rooms yet. we need to finish our map editor in order to stat building lvl. but it will happen verry soon ^^

Bioniclegenius

2008-09-26 03:36:34 pm

Fear Me! (Or else...)

Cool. Um... rats, I ran out of things to say. Hm. Ooo, I know!

Have you gotten all of the scrolling and enemies and such done? I don't think we've seen any screenshots of any of the enemies you've done yet. Also, will you be making an editor later so people can make their own hacks using your graphics? Just curious.

megatronx

2008-09-26 04:10:25 pm

We got concepts of enemys at the moment only.
About map editor - to be honest, i don`t know. We will see what time will bring.

2008-09-26 04:19:16 pm

I like what i saw, but somehow i think I've seen that kind of drawing before...

Anyways, if this is 100% original, you're creating every single creature of the planet? or are you guys going to use some of the enemies from other metroids, like mech stuff in sky fortress of MP2, skrees, etc?

hi there,

thx for your interest in the project. Becouse action of the game is located in brand new envirement, you will challange brand new enemys as well as some modyfication of older ones. We have loads of ideas for them, but which of them will appeare in game depends on what story our story department will prepare.

btw. i don`t know where u could see this kind of drawings. maybe i sow them to verry long time ago, but only my artistic part remember it... or smth... ;)

ZephyrZx

2008-09-26 05:28:07 pm

oooh, now I remember!, looking the pics again made me remember, the drawing looks like some drawings from some cards from the game Ragnarok Online, kinda random but meh.

still, I like it, but I think Samus' head looks weird/small compared to the rest, or maybe its just the shoulders that block too much of the head, eitherway, the rest is good, very good.

megatronx

2008-09-26 05:51:59 pm

when i wos drawing it, i wos looking at samus from metroid prime.

	Yes, i do.	(35)
	No i dont. And if I would be an admin i would bann you for life.	(4)
