Does it matter if you couldn’t in M2? You couldn’t even crouch in Metroid 1, but you can in M:ZM.
i meant mzm in the first place, but i got back emu and it is of course a no.
gotta go play splinter cell multiplayer…
SmartDude…OMGWTFawsome :O_O:
…um…

i finished by final demo today, however, after seeing it, i am a little tired of it, while it is very much like a regular metroid, i think i want to do some new stuff after all.
I have been saving an entire plot for awhile, and i think it is finally time for me to put it into action, i will be creating a totally new game.
while i love metroid, its time to stop recycling weapons, and time to start doing some cool stuff.
im going back to my original (and no, i didn’t steal this idea, i had it around for awhile) idea of having the player aim with the mouse.
ima work around with it, and see what i can do, i really wanted to use the metroid sprites from p2d, however, i guess im using zero mission sprites instead, at least until i finish my demo (much shorter than the demo i just finished however)
also, just a warning, the story is a side event, and thus while going in many new and unexpected directions, it shouldn’t mess up anything currently metroid.
basically, im going to take a couple risks.
can we see this demo of yours?
M…m…metroid controlled with a mouse? GIMME! That’s the best idea EVAR!
Well…
I suppose lots of people have thought of it, but you’re… like… actually doing something with it! 
> Me wanna help, but me prolly don’t got the skillz necessary… still, I know how to use Audacity (so I’m of minor help with music editing), I can sprite powerups (which you’ve probably already dealt with), and I’m good at level design. Which you probably want to do yourself.
Yeah… I think I’ll go read the rest of the thread now, which I should have done before posting. 
i already started working over it (rather than import images), sorry, but it wasn’t anything special, there was only the basic stuff (and only 1 metroid), it was basically from the beginning straight to the first metroid. Trust me though, this next one should progress a little faster, since while it has more advanced features, it is less programming (better programming, or shall i just say less damn sprites needed for aiming combos)
besides that the other remake seems to be coming along nicely, and i thought rather than make 2 remakes, it would be better to create something nobody has seen before.
also, just a warning, it will have phazon in it, no, i am not using some fanboy idea, it has a very good purpose, though i may replace it so that i can keep most of the stuff used original, though it will be extremely hard.
anyways, i will soon say the features of it, and i believe i will rename this topic, rather than make a new one.
ah damnit, i posted back in the past sometime i wouldn’t nuke the remake…
…alright, ill rework the aiming and put up the demo i did.
…
I know it’s a little conceited, and not my place to ask, but
Why dont you come work for M2re?
You seem to be having some trouble with your demos. If so, we already have a fine working engine, as well as a few demos out. We could really use another programmer, and our team is very efficient.
You said you’d rather do something original, but We’d really like to have you on our team. Another programmer could make the long term game a reality.
i am working for it
if i am late, then i am working on the “test”, and am playing wow at mom’s house right now, hopefully will be at dad’s house again soon to help out with it.
its just i have to do mine, i already said i would, so im helping with yours too though.
is the game im makin all the armless sprites for?
Err what?
i think he meant “is this the game I’m making all the armless sprites for?”
its not m2 they are for.
and yet another fan game that stops due to the lack of interest… sigh, and here i was, looking foward t this remake, i think i will wait for nintendo make one, if someday they do one though…
a remake is already farther underway, so i decided to work with some new things and make something original, thats all.
right now, the new project of mine is progressing much faster than expected, demo might be done in time for christmas.
dec. 17 and 18th (up all night)
[code]update: ?i just finished both the arm system for samus, and the health system, just started on ammo counting system and pause system, this is turning out very quickly! ?
update: ?samus is now aiming and shooting. ? pause system complete, and ammo counting complete, still needs to work on weapon changing system.[/code]
still need to finish the
scan system
samus movements
some tiles
map system
message system
before i am done for a quick demo
most of these will be extremely easy except for a few samus movements, weapon system, and misc. the new demo should be out around christmas.
edit: started playing world of warcraft…
.yeah…you know what that means…
so is the whole other samus thing gonna be in this game like in your m2 remake?
im not sure what you just asked, but the best thing to do would be to wait.
edit: getting into christmas stuff, wont have time for game, sorry, will continue soon.
re-edit:
i … i just got twilight princess for the cube…
…im…going to be gone for awhile…plus the other gifts…
…
…gotta go play, hear from you guys again with a demo in a couple months or something…
…so…happy…
think somebody can help me out?
i am making a weapon system, and i cannot decide what the “sonic” weaponry should look like, here they are:
sonic is the gray one, and i am making an ammo system too, so of course the ones to the left of the boxes are the “ammo”
i put the visors on there for kicks, ignore them
thanks for the help!
edit: you guys dont want to help or dont know it exists, thats fine, almost done with demo…
edit: im starting to see white as a light blue-green…
done with scan system, the ONLY thing i need to do now is to figure out how to do slopes without glitches, then i have a demo, also, i have worked out a few things and this game is going to work in update.
update: still would like to have a spriter at some point…
M2 ship…
