to clarify: Clearly, PLG is J-SNAKE, I cannot stand that guy and what he is doing with his project. I can do it million times better, so I dropped him out of the window with my ultimate power and claim now my reign for the sake of best quality for MSR388!!!
I TOLD you guys that ProjectLeaderGuy was a murderer...
This thread was so much less confusing when it was about SR388.
Ähhh, you surely mean when it was about special-effects. Other than that to be honest (why shouldn't I?) I know nothing about MSR388 and I hardly think anyone else does:
Quote from Von Richter:
This trailer only shows the tiniest portion of what this game is all about. I'm a big fan of keeping almost everything secret, to maintain the thrill of discovery for the player. This is especially important for an exploration/adventure game.
Anyone capable of taking over the lead coder position? I'm entering extensive album sessions and won't have time to code for awhile and I would hate to let it sit during that time. You'll need to prove that you know what you're doing with some example of your work or something. You'll also need to agree to complete confidentiality... we do not want project spoiler leaks.
It should be straightforward to pick up where I'm leaving off. But I'd like someone capable of doing something like this from scratch, even though they wouldn't be doing so in this case. As you know, the whole project has been moved to GM to save time/sanity, so at least some familiarity with GM would be needed.
Well organized and direct, simple code is a must so myself and other coders can understand it, and to avoid bugs and so on. I do not want to be trying to make sense out of nested loops 8-layers deep, frivolous variable glut, and other absurdities.
This isn't a casual thing to take on really. If you aren't serious about it do not reply.
The best part about this whole process is working in a group in a collaborative environment, so it is enjoyable if fan projects are your cup of tea. But it's still a lot of hard work/time so please make absolutely sure you really have the sustained interest and obsession with classic 2D Metroid to do this.
I will remain on as producer/director and also continue contributing to the, graphics, music and sound FX aspects.
You do realize that nobody has even replied in 2-3 months right? Even then, a status hasn't even been posted in over 2 1/2 months from ProjectLeaderGuy. From my understanding, they aren't going to release any new material until the final project is finished....IF it gets finished. We will just have to wait and see. Only time will tell with a project this big.
I'm not giving up hope. I know it will be released. It's just got to, man. It's GOT to.
WOAH, just got flashbacks of a GameFAQs user. An EarthBounder who constantly hoped that EB would eventually be released on the Virtual Console. It annoyed us all and even inspired an alt account. It's quite epic...
You make it sound like there's just one of them. That's very silly.
Oh, I know there are many. This one guy practically trolled the VC/WiiWare boards with "Nintendo better damn well release EarthBound this monday!" topics (with slight variations so as to not appear stale). He's been Warned, and seems to have slowed down dramatically. Or he's gone back to the EB board.
No, he wasn't....BTW that is a horrible tragic accident.....I feel bad for all those families who worried for 3 days knowing that more than likely they perished, but no evidence was found.
It looked like so much work had been done already. I wonder if the project has been totally abandoned, and if there was a cease-and-desist order behind it. Guess I can always cross my fingers that one day it will show up out of the blue like a gift from heaven, but it doesn't look good.
I searched for one a day or two ago and it came up as Private... So maybe not every video was taken down. :-/
I've said it once and I'll say it again. This is either very good or very bad. And I'd like to think VR/"PLG" would have the decency to fess up and say whether it was all over or not.
So I AM expecting something to happen... The only question is is when it will happen.
If it was a "Cease and Desist" order, Destructoid (his blog location) would've reported on it, cause they told the world that the CT fan-game got shut down by Squeenix. We'd've heard more news if it was a definitive shut-down. So he's either stopped work on it and removed all knowledge of it (very bad for those wanting to play it) OR he's hiding everything to have a really big reveal that the entire thing will be in 8-bit and will play exactly like Metroid! which I have no idea of what it is.
