June News!


Hello again! It's June already! That means only one thing - holidaaaaays! Did you think how are you going to spend your holidays? One advice: if you're planning to spend your holidays sitting in front of blue display, you're losing your time! Stand up, take your phone and book a ticket to the sea! Ok, now to the news!

Some minor changes as usual:

1) Reworked the site a bit - at least there's more information about the project!
2) Reworked the engine again - there were some small bugs - thanks to play testers!
3) The demo is growing - it's 6 mb already!
4) Bad news - there will be no Game Boy Advanced version and no Flash version. Concentrated on the main object - exe.
5) Working on a trailer - a guy with a powerful 4 core cpu and superb Geforce card agreed to help me! :)
6) Members page is no more since I decided to work on the game alone for a while because there is no work for other members yet.

Some interesting facts:

1) 342 people were willing to test the engine, even that number was rather big for me(it's very hard to choose play testers)! Today there are 3 play testers, each of them has a great game playing experience!
2) I gave a show with some of the "Metroid'y" tunes on a local bike fest! Don't think there are only electronic tracks in the game list! ;)
3) I'm a bad student - most of my copy-books were drawn all over with the game concepts!

There will be fresh screenshots this month in "June News! Post #2"!
Check my tunes on myspace!
Cheers a lot!

  6. How did you make it? Did you use Flash for the game? I've watched your videos and think looks suitable though that guy seems to mix with the backs in the first videos. :-/ Good luck on project, keep up the good work!

  7. Gosh, you're making a metroid game? It's very difficult, why don't you make a commercial game than just waste your time on this "fan project"? I recommend you to go to amazon.com and sell your games there! I sell my comics there! :)

  8. I see the links in you blog page, most of them dead. When I'm trying to hop in the metroidsr388.com, it shows me white screen! Others are getting quit, only AM2R is alive. What happened to them?

  16. This game looks different I guess... The plot takes rather original beginning... I'll wait till the demo comes to play. :)

  21. Looks nice enough! I played most metroid fangames before - I liked only AM2R and Project Dread. One guy, Nerdy Slimmer, is also making a fan game btw! You can find him on youtube if you wanna see his works. ;J

  22. Nice look! Original design of the site! Are you a pro? About the game: I think you started your blog too early - at least half of a game must be completed for starting blog or advertising your project! Otherwise good concept, I like that half cosmonaut suit!

  23. Very nice! My fingers are already trembling! Want to play this game! :D
