Metroid


ninja9393 is now releasing v0.5 of his Metroid: Return of the SA-X homebrew. It first came out around the 15th, asking for people to become the initial testers for its Beta 1 release. And not only interested testers got on the ship, but other coders like Zion, gizmo356 (both co-coders of the game) and jman420, took interest in the project as well.

There have been a lot of comments on the game's animation, codes and all in its previous release. Apparently, there's a problem with how it was coded displaying more than two frames at a given time. But really what game doesn't have at least one glitch in its first stages of development? What is more noteworthy is that there are a lot of people who offered their help, from testing (ziofire, mesosade, jOeBrO and Cloud_35), coding, to animation and graphics (Shadowblind and acn010).

First


After installing the game, I found the menu screen such an eyecandy. The colors are vibrant and the layout is nicely done; we have to credit OneCrzyAzn for that. When you reach the gameplay screen, there is an itsy bitsy version of bounty hunter Samus Aran smack in the middle. Maybe the first thing that you're going to try is to shoot at something, but sorry to burst your bubble, ninja9393 says he is still perfecting the shooting part of this game. Meanwhile why don't you just go ahead and try out the things she can do, like jump and walk around. I had to let out a guffaw when I saw her walk those tiny legs. The animation is indeed too fast as yaustar pointed out.

The game has very good potential. Especially with all the support coming in from the whole community, it could be every piece as good as the original. Keep up the good work guys!

Haters...

Disabling Unregistered Comments, QJ.net, will make the world a much better place. I see that this game has potential. If I was a developer, I'd help with the making of it. It'll be good to have a good-looking Metroid game since we don't have a good GBA emulator yet. I can't wait until this game is done. By the way, just had to add this (it was funny XD): To do: bassicly a lot of things that arent east So they're West?

Nice

Good job so far. All the haters couldn't do this if they spent the rest of their life trying. No, this didn't take less than 5 minutes. It's a LOT of work to produce even the crappiest game. Try it some time before you attempt an insult. As for the comments, you CAN choose not to show unregistered comments. Forcing people to register doesn't prevent the idiocy. Letting the idiots post unregistered lets you filter them out, though. I like the current system.

hahha

i made a side scrolling demo in 5mins yesterday. have 2(or more) background images and set their co-ordinates bg1x = 0 bg1y = 0 bg2x = 480 bg2y = 0 then when the player gets to the end of one of the background image move both background images back, e.g. if player.x >= 480 then player.x = player.x -2 bg1x = bg1x -2 bg2x = bg2x -2 end SCROLLING!!!!!

to #3

I agree with you! Don't release things that have no purpose. Make a real game, don't just make things that move around. People are so stupid. It's really ridiculous; who's going to want to move around as a game.
