Total Posts: 29 | Okay, I have been working on this for about 2 weeks now (counting the week I had to wait for a new calculator) and I have alot done, but I need some things...
here's what I have
10:33 <+[froody]> Arcing jump, Shooting, Morph Ball, Bomb Jump (only when you arn't going up), Breakable Blocks (with bomb jump), Invisible walls, Fake walls, Morph Ball passagways, Scrolling screen transfers (ala Merthsofts scrolling engine(ish)), Doors, Lava, Restore Points, Health, Energy Tanks, 1 Enemy, 3+ Random points per screen for the enemie to appear (when you kill it or when you enter), and a 1 in 3 chance of an enemy dropping a health pickup when killed
wich is alot for a game programmed acually on the calculator, unfortunatley the main character isn't samus... an 8x8 B&W sprite of samus is hard so you're just... you... and the only enemy resembles a metroid is itself... but for what I need...
If anyone is willing to help, I need a title screen (95 pxls wide and 63 pxls tall in Black and White, if you want some animation then the most I can do is 6 pictures) also I need enemies (the one I have now moves back and forth across the screen until it hit's something, then turns around) so any ideas/sprites/halp yould be awsome... also if you have any questions I'd be more than happy to help.

Edit | As I've said before, awesome! I hope there are some cool bosses such as Mother Brain... maybe make the game a "remake" of the original? |

New for today! 2nd enemy, a working HUD, a LavaSuit (I died 3 times in a room that has lava on the floor... I needed it), Virtical/Diagonal movement of enemies, and a 5th room... (oh and about 5 more tiles)

Total Posts: 75 | sorry for bringing up old topics but i think you should put some text in at the begining explaining where it fits in cronological order and stuff and i think it should be called something like...
Metroid: Chozo Revival
And the story line would be something like
As Samus departs from the now peaceful Aether she spots an abandoned ship as she walks in she sees one lone Chozo. Alone and afraid "The Chozo" attacks out of fear. After minutes of doging samus stops moving and takes an meddalion with anceint Chozo writing on it and the shows it to the young Chozo. After he calms he tells all of what happend when Samus hears that he is not really alone she rushes off to the planet SR-478 where mother brain has revived herself once again.
Well if you use this put my name in the credits please. |

if you have youve propably seen spider gaurdian well you could replicate him make some platforms with spider-ball behind the boss and you have to bomb-jump to reach the different platforms then you have to bomb the boss i have a sprite in mind and once you beat him you get the spider ball.
he'd be twice you but with curved spikes on the outside do you know what i mean. PM me if you don't understand |

Edit | That's incredibly complicated for a BASIC game, wusup. You have to remember that even spider ball or bomb jumping will be difficult... anyways, that plot is rather simplistic and fan-gamish... |

And about the spiterball and osses, those *might* make it into MB83+2 but not the current build

Total Posts: 61 | Looks great! Makes me want to get back to work on my metroid for the 68k calcs. If you'd like some sprites for enemies and such, as well as some ai scripts (you would need to convert them to BASIC, but I'd give you the logic) email me at bcherry@gmail.com. I've got a lot of enemy and tile sprites, as well as some weapon sprites. Good luck! |
