Super Metroid Old School

2009-04-27 06:20:17 pm

I have ben working on this game for a long time and now I have made significant progress. The enitre section of old brinstar is now complete and i will be a guarented trip down memory lane. Dont believe me then these screnshots should convince you otherwise. Some graphics are straight from the orginal metroid check them out!!

Oo! This looks interesting. Just a suggestion... since Samus can traverse through rooms much quicker than in the NES days, you might want to make the rooms a tad longer.

Looks quite nice :p

I always wanted to do this. I wonder what it would look like when its done.

thats an easy one to answer its going to (hopefully)look like a replica of the very first metroid. all and I mean ALL the orginal areas from the first game will be back in all their glory wich will leave marida and the wrecked ship intact but revamped hopefully it will come out good!

...

How many M1 remake projects are going now? We have my old project(back in business now) and simonbelmont's abandoned project, now this one. I just hope you just don't make it exactly like mine.

Edit: Well, mine has some new things since the original Metroid, and there won't be a Maridia, so you have that for yourself.

Well i do not have any intention of copying anyones work. i just plan on making my game as close to original metroid as possible while integrating wrecked ship and marida into the mix

great work :) a new effect in the game, like expanding the old brinstar zones..
here some questions and/or suggestions...

1. The start zone will be brinstar like in nes, or the landing site of crateria?

2. Kraid's and Ridley's lair will be as separated areas or are respective parts of brinstar and norfair like in SM?

3. if in SM the old tourian is linked to old brinstar, where is the elevator to crateria-brinstar in your hack, or dont have? Eh?

4. Phantoon and draygon are needed to gain access tourian?

sorry if my english is confused (i'm latin)
Regards. Wink

A very good question heres the info

1. the landing site will still be the starting position but the elevator room going to jungle brinstar have been moved to where it was in orginal metroid.
naturally kraids lair will be in a different area of kraids hideout however ill put in mini kraid in kraids original room.

Im currently working on kraids hideout and kraid/ridleys hideout will be just like they were in original metroid/ separate areas jungle brinstar will become kraids hideout and lower norfair will be ridleys hideout.

the elevator going from crateria to original brinstar will remain

and finally draygon and phantoon will be intergrated into the game remember the tunnel leading from blue to yellow brinstar? thats where you will access maridia and crateria to wrecked ship will remain intact but i was thinking about changing them up a little bit for fun hope that answers a few questions

I think most of us "came up with" this idea at some point, but not many get as far as you appear to have.
I once thought it might be a nice idea to add some more of the old Metroid 1 areas to super metroid, Brinstar for example would be quite easy to attach, as would Old Tourian.

then, tunnels in crateria are will suffer several changes in comparison to SM...
referenced in Zero mission the access to old brinstar is localized in a part very similar where you get bombs/torizo boss in SM .. but in zm don't have elevator Eh?

this is a idea which can put the elevator in the hack, and feel more than zm

mm.. then Kraid can't put in original left door (like in nes)... but is a detail in the game

Another questions:
some areas in blue brinstar have acid (mzm) or like swamp in the bottom... can you replace acid with sand ?

are in hack the long beam?

Im going to redo the part of crateria where the access to brinstar was but you just gave me a great idea!! instead of the bomb torizo room have the elevator going to brinstar becuae if you'll remember in zm there was a shaft going from crateria to where you started in zm as for the former acid yess i think ill put sand in its place but the good news on my game is im averaging about 2 to 3 rooms a day done minimum and unlike on some games this one will never be abandoned ive come to far!

what do you think about this? one of the corridors that I used to make old brinstar actually came from a no longer used room from tourian i was thinking about spicing things up a bit by leaving the metroids in there so youd better get some missiles and ice beam before you tackle this room?

Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!

In the item room, you should try and have the pipes not just end. Ther is a perfect tile for finishing them off, and it looks much better than them just ending.

In the 'To Kraid' room, try and have the fading grey edges at the top of the lift finish below the floor, with the floor tiles continuing above them, as it looks odd at the moment, with the lift tiles running all the way up to make a floor.

I need an opionion on something. What do do with crocomire and spore spawn minibosses. and If they should be integrated into the hack in some fashion. Also since Due to this swine flu stuff i have alot of fre time now so im really going to be going to town on this project then maybe ill release a demo!

Umm, add a room for them

Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!

Well, all of the minibosses are able to be placed into simplistic rooms, which would fit the Metroid map style. Botwoon, Gold Torizo, and Crocomire would all fit prefectly well into horizontal rooms, forcing you to kill them to pass. Spore Spawn would fit prfectly well in a vertical room, so they can all be used. I'd say go for it.

Well. Crocomiro and Spore Spawn really they can not be left behind!
In other words you would be committing a serious flaw in the tradition of Metroid.
Try placing them in positions of special event, you would be obliged them faces !!!!
You would put a few extra areas that neither Metroid zero mission?
Another interesting thing would be the puzzles to make us lose more time as an example a maze!

Very important detail.
The serious songs the classic and the current?
