I thought of DMantra too when I saw the chozo statues. i think we'll be seeing alot of things that remind us of CH for a long time because CH is the most influential hack since Redesign, imo.

i bet that DMantra is honored that his work has influenced others.

Honored? Eh.. it's a natural course the way I see it. If I didn't raise the medium, someone else would have eventually.
I'm just happy more hacks are on their way, and this one looks promising.

Do not give up on this Obsy, or the pillars of nosgoth will fall, and your brethren will cast you into the abyss,
and a huge squid god will give you a spiel on fate and shit.

Thank you for the kind comments! :-D And I won't give up, I will take my time though... Shocked

Just thought I might say a few things about the difficulty.
The difficulty is hard but not tedious for me. I am NOT the best metroid player out there, so in contrast to other hacks it is going to be easier. (Cliffhanger for one! Wink

)

Also I am only mapping certain areas. Why would the inhabitants of the planet map the caves the don't use?
But if people really hate that idea please say and I may change it.

Also why is zebes brown in the intro but when you land its blue? aiwebs_016

i like the idea of mapping certain places. but it might get a bit annoing

The main areas will be mapped, "forgotten areas" hidden map and basic caves not mapped. There are a few basic caves but not enough to be annoying in my opinion. Embarassed

Breathe in the Future, Breathe out the Past

I like the idea, its realistic. So long as these unmapped areas aren't huge, and segmented between mapped areas.

Breathe in the Future, Breathe out the Past

There is way too much going on in the middle picture. Firstly, the myriad of tiles don't agree with eachother. It gives off this convoluted feel, as if I'm looking at a scrapped room used solely for ideas.

A little tip: What worked well for me was just walking around rooms and looking at them as a whole, and picking out loud bits that interfered with the prime theme and feel I wanted the room to express for the player (even if I liked them, I could just move them somewhere else better fit.)

As for the other two pictures, I like them. The rain adds dynamic, as if Zebes has massive craters that lead to the lower planet where weather can affect areas. Just make sure that the rooms with rain don't have visible ceilings, although I suppose it could work with ceilings if the BG suggests theres an outer area connected to it.

Yeah...

I can see what you mean... it is a bit much...

Is this any better? :|
