Project Zebes is a metroid fangame that is dedicated to the recreation of super metroid in a larger and more interesting planet Zebes. The game will contain elements that were present in both Metroid Zero Mission and Super Metroid plus some completly new ones. I do not have any screenshots of the project yet due to not having finished graphics or a complete engine but I will post them when I do.
Most of you are familiar with the areas in Zebes but I am making a few changes so you might want to read this. Crateria was small in Zero Mission and in both games only two or three rooms showed the surface of Zebes, I plan to make a larger part of crateria show the planets surface (like eight or nine large rooms). The Surface will be under constant rain and be slightly darker than in other games. Lower Crateria will consist of caverns and chozo ruins much like in Super Metroid. Brinstar will consisr of three main areas. Green Brinstar the largest of these areas is mostly overgrown with sparcely scattered ruins. The second area, Red Brinstar, is rocky and contains a maze of passages and shafts with a flooded south. Metal Brinstar, the final of the three, is a large area condisting of slightly overgrown metal this area resembles kraid's hidout in Super Metroid. Duron is a new area that replaces the wrecked ship from Super Metroid. Duron is a desert containing an enormous Chozo ruin complex and the destroyed remains of the space pirate mother ship. Just below the surface is a catacomb of damp tunnels leading to some centeral location. Maridia will not change much in layout from super metroid but will be taller and more maze like. Norfair the closest area to the planet's core is full of molten rock and srange bubble-like formations. Lower Norfair is home to a vast complex of chozo ruins and a space pirate hidaway. Another new area is th towers they lie in the east and the west and were created by the chozo. The eastern tower colapsed and was rebuilt by the space pirates. Tourian, the final area, is larger than all of the past Tourians and contains a SR-388 like breeding ground for metroids to evolve into Alphas, Gammas, Zetas, Omegas, and a Queen.
I will post again when there is more to say.

A Super Metroid Remake

ReplyDeleteYou are a horrible, horrible person for even considering designing this game. I need to point out just how horribly INSIPID you are for creating a fourth rate fangame attempting to recreate what IS POSSIBLY THE BEST 2D GAME EVER MADE IN HISTORY. This is not something you remake! THERE IS NO NEED!! It's already been established that those evolutions of SR388 occur in only certain environments, and you're fucking stupid for adding "SECTIONS" for your retardedly unoriginal mishmash of Fusion and Zero mission.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention you're not a good designer. You're a hack with unoriginal ideas and you don't have the skillsets to do anything on your own. This is a bad idea.
THIS IS A PROFANITY. A PROFANITY THAT BEGINS WITH "FIRST SUPER METROID REMAKE"
EXCEPT YOU'RE NOT EVEN THAT GOOD. THIS IS FIRST SUPER METROID REMAKE REMAKE!
You are a profanity that is derivative of another profanity.
You can plan and pretend you know what you're doing all you like, but who are you fooling? This will never go anywhere. You're untalented and require every other fanboy hack out there to just barf whatever horribly made shit onto you that they have. At best, you'll just reuse Zero Mission's tiles like every other loser out there, and ultimately any idiot thoughtless enough to help you pursue this waste of time will likely get bored and move on, or have "School."
And you make alot of big (but awful) promises about 'expanding on a huge world.' To even begin with, "DURON" is the most 12 year old, dumbass name I've ever heard next to "DARKOS." And "METAL BRINSTAR?" WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?! You are so utterly devoid of elegant design, it makes me vomit.
And just talking about design, your ONLY supposed "Selling point" is taping on useless SHIT to an already perfectly design and paced game. You're riding the coat tails of success generated by professionals a thousand times more skilled than you will ever be. You haven't touched interface, enemy design, level layouts, timelines, items,, puzzle solving...hell, you haven't done ANYTHING.
And you likely never will! I don't think you have the capacity to manage a project like this!
But hey, as an example of your utter incompetence as a 'director' is visible in the fact THIS IS A REMAKE WITH EXTRA SHIT UNSKILLFULLY NAILED ONTO THE SIDE! You probably just intended to completely copy super metroid's formula and add an extra world and pretend you know what the hell you were doing. Which you don't.
I could go on for an eternity about what a terrible idea this is, so instead I'll summarize.
You have absolutely no potential. Not now, not ever. Your idea is derivative and unoriginal, with about as much thought put into it as it takes most people to defecate. Your fangame is a crime against fangames, which is already a crime in itself. Give up now, and save yourself and everyone else involved in this the utter waste of time that it will take to fail. And please do everyone a favor and never bother to pretend you're gonna do something ever again. Resume lurking and being unimportant on that HOLE of a Fangames forum.
The only people who think this is a good idea are the same inbred sheep responsible for ruining good video game titles these days for everybody with their drooling fandome and lack of subtlety.
Your friend, an Angry Robot.
Brilliant! I have been placated by your expertly executed "Poast" claiming you are "remaking a planet."
ReplyDeleteLet me describe a situation...a conversation between two guys:
"Hay! There's a planet."
"Wow, that's neat."
"They're remaking it, you know?"
"Wow, really? How?"
"It's gonna be bigger."
"That's interesting, I guess."
"Apparently being quite possibly the greatest pixel based 2D in history wasn't enough, cause everyone thought it was so horribly boring and continue to play it for decades."
"So what are they doing with it?"
"What? It's bigger. Isn't that enough?"
Yes, we've a quandary here now...what to do with a giant planet aside from watch it peacefully orbit a STAR?
Well perhaps it needs something...gameplay perhaps. And gameplay requires a hero...perhaps a "hunter" of sorts. Have they done that yet?
Who are you kidding, you wanker? You're going to remake super metroid. WE CALL THIS A SUPER METROID REMAKE, or FIRST SUPER METROID REMAKE BULLSHIT AGAIN.
It's hard to really defend your position when you're already claiming to expand on zebes. Well this has been done adequately before, and thereafter it was erased from continuity by means of a HUGE FARKIN' EXPLOSION, so clearly a sequel is out of order. So that dictates a half-baked fan-story that fits somewhere between "MORONIC" and "MARY SUE." Now you could claim to be remaking ZERO mission, a remake in it's own right. But Zero mission didn't include such faces as "MARIDIA" and the aforementioned "Wrecked Ship" or "Dhurrrron" as you like to insist. Yes, lets take out one of the most atmospheric and memorable sections of the game and replace it with your retarded metroid fusion SELF INDULGENT SPANKWANK. Now if the fact you haven't already slipped out that you're drawing all your inspiration from super metroid isn't enough to say "Gee, this is probably a Super Metroid Remake," then the fact you're completely incapable of any original ideas is a good indication it probably will be. You could possibly avoid this changing Mother Brain in the end into a giant beam farting Inside-out version of LINK, because thinking up an original design might be a bit too difficult. But even then, you'd still be a hack.
(See next post)
(lets continue.)
ReplyDeleteAnd talking about hack, someone who can't even bother to make their blog a bit thematic to show their dedication to their own godawful idea and spells things "POAST" and "SRANGE" probably shouldn't be the driving force behind a project that he himself won't contribute anything material too. It's like stamping disney's name on a Studio Ghibli title. It might be a masterpiece, but disney didn't fucking touch it and probably doesn't deserve any credit for it.
Hell at this point, you might as well go along with AlexR's idea about sharks and chickens, because it's vastly superior and more amusing than any bile you're going to produce. Or not produce and beg everyone else to waste their effort producing FOR you to increase your E-Jollies. Alex is probably laughing his ARSE off at you after making that joke about lending his hard work to this joke. And you believed it.
In the end, you pre-emptively jumped all over the fact you certainly weren't making FSMR. Not a sure sign of transparent guilt at all. You deserve all the criticism you can get about that.
So why am I bothering with you? I could certainly just ignore it like all the other rubbish people thoughtlessly expell from their darkest regions, as they are boring and low quality. It's not that I'm worried you actually accomplish anything. That's going to go to the wayside quickly once you realize you're not a star-child and anyone worth their salt wouldn't touch this with a 10 foot pole that was previous jammed up Martha Stuart's nethers. It's just the fact you seem insistent in continuing this dead horse that concerns me so very much. You obviously can't appreciate good work since you have no speakable skills of your own, but really, if the "Screencaps" of your "engine" [concept] (AKA printscreens of Zero Mission with fugly MSPaint rain drawn over it...seriously who does that?) wasn't any indication you shouldn't lead a project, just your arguement that you're "REMAKING A PLANET" should be.
If it really is just remaking Zebes, then WHO THE HELL CARES?
Once Again, your dear friend, The AngryRobot
AngryRobot - funny for a moment then not. Seriously, take a break from the machine, friend. A long break.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, angry. You need to calm down. I think its a great idea. Super metroid is NOT perfect. I love this idea, and hope that maybe it will be picked up again
ReplyDeletey'all need to chill. while yes, it is a big project, yes it promises a lot, yes zebes was destroyed, yes some of the names are a little meh, just take a step back and look at this. plenty of people have redone games. look at all the Mario hacks and even all of the already existing super Metroid hacks. this game is promising a complete redesign and add-on for a fresh experience. I, for one, am in support of this and I hope to one day experience this for myself. keep up the good work
