Metroid II 3DS: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 06:58, 17 July 2021

Metroid 2 3DS is a Tech Demo to envision how a 3DS Metroid Game would look like. Developer has later released the source with tools (requires OS X) for creating Enemies, Objects, Items and Maps.

Note: The project is discontinued due to the release of the official Metroid: Samus Returns for the 3DS.

Installation

Extract the 3ds_metroid.zip and put the resulting folder in your 3ds directory on your SD Card.

Run the Demo from your Homebrew Launcher (it will take some time to load from HB Launcher, but the game will not slow down).

Update from a previous Build:

You will need to replace the entire folder, not just the .3dsx. A lot of the files are updated/replaced when a new build is released. Replacing the .3dsx alone will most likely result in crashed or glitches.

+Metroid 2 3DS is a Tech Demo to envision how a 3DS Metroid Game would look like. Developer has later released the source with tools (requires OS X) for creating Enemies, Objects, Items and Maps.
-I released the Sources and Tools for this Project, since I'm unable to work in this anymore due to University and other Projects. If someone wants to pick this up, download the source. I also included tools to create Enmies, Objects, Items and Maps - those tools require OS X though.
+'''Note:''' The project is discontinued due to the release of the official Metroid: Samus Returns for the 3DS.
-The Project was build with the ctrulib 1.1.0 version and the latest sf2d and sfillib.

+==Installation==
+Extract the 3ds_metroid.zip and put the resulting folder in your 3ds directory on your SD Card.
-Hello GBATemp Community!
+Run the Demo from your Homebrew Launcher (it will take some time to load from HB Launcher, but the game will not slow down).
-Today I'd like to show you a Tech Demo for Metroid 2.
+'''Update from a previous Build:'''
-This is being released in .3dsx format and has been tested on a New Nintendo 3DS on System Version 10.3.
-I've added a poll as well, and I'd like you to vote if this should be continued! After all, working on this for a full release is not really worth it if nobody would play it!
+You will need to replace the entire folder, not just the .3dsx. A lot of the files are updated/replaced when a new build is released. Replacing the .3dsx alone will most likely result in crashed or glitches.
-Also, please keep in mind that this is a Tech Demo! There are bound to be bugs, and you might find some graphics to look kind of cheap. This should show, however, how a 3DS Metroid Game could look like!

-'''<span style="text-decoration: underline">Sample Build 03/24/2016:</span>'''
-<span style="text-decoration: underline">General:</span>
-- Phase 1 has been completed:
-You will be able to Play most of the first Phase of the Game.
-However, the Metroid opening the second Phase can not be fought since the second Phase doesn�t
-exist yet.
-You will find a Rock wall where you�d progress normally. This Wall collapses when the first Metroid
-encountered is killed.
-- Ledge Grabbing is now possible:
-Samus is now able to grab any ledge within reach while jumping.
-Samus will grab automatically as soon as she begins to fall from jumping.
-While hanging on a ledge, you�ll have the option to aim and shoot when holding the L Button,
-jumping in the oposite direction of the ledge you�re grabbing by pressing A and Left or Right.
-You can also jump straight up by simply pressing A or drop straight down by pressing Down.
-Samus will climb the Ledge by pressing Up or to the direction of the Ledge.
-- Basic Missle Smoke Effect added:
-A simple smoke effect when firing Missles, for cosmetic reasons.
-- Water and Water Physics have been added:
-Water has been added for the Rooms containing it in the original Metroid 2.
-Water will slow your movement speed down. You will also loose jump height if Samus
-is inside of water.
-NOTE: Game Water has no animation yet!
-- The Main Menu has been implemented:
-The Main Menu is now fully accessible (it was before technically, I just blocked it off [[File:styles/default/xenforo/clear.png|class=mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie48|:)]] )
-The Main Menu does the usual thing: Show you�re Health / Missles / Metroids remaining,
-allowing access to the Options Menu and giving you the ability to either load or create a new save.
-- Gameplay Options have been implemented:
-An Options Menu has been added which includes some of you�re requests! You can now change
-the Movement Controls between Control and D-Pad, swap Y and B for beam fire and change the
-Minimap control style to either manual or auto-follow. Especially the movement and shooting change
-should make controlling Samus easier for players which are more used to the D-Pad and/or have an
-easier time using Y to fire.
-NOTE: Auto-Follow can be selected but it won't have any effect. This is intentional.
-- Game Over and Death Animation fully implemented:
-The classic Death Animation known from other Metroid Games has now been fully implemented.
-Dying to an Enemy does now play Samus� Suit breaking follow by a improved Game Over screen.
-- New Font File:
-Not much to say about this other than the old font was hideous!
-- Controls have been improved:
-The Jumping Mechanics have been changed to mimic those from Metroid: Zero Mission!
-Samus can now change her facing to left and right while falling, change the direction of her
-Spin Jump. The jumping height is now defined by how long you hold A as well.
-<span style="text-decoration: underline">Rooms:</span>
-- Phase 1 (Overworld and Cave Beginning) is now fully added.
-- New BGM for Samus� Intro and Phase 1.
-- The Yumbo Enemies in Room 4 have been replaced with Tsumuri Enemies.
-<span style="text-decoration: underline">Enemies:</span>
-- New Enemy: Tsumuri (No AI yet!).
-- New Enemy: Seerook.
-<span style="text-decoration: underline">HUD:</span>
-- Minimap Size reduced by 50 %.

-Bug: The Wave Buffer was overwritten and not cleared correctly.
-- Player Running with Aiming Animation now stays set until movement stops.
-Bug: A flag was set wrong which caused an overwrite of the current animation.

-</span></span>
-<span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 12px">Q: &quot;Will you be implementing [feature]?&quot;</span></span>
-A: That depends if it's useful. And if you're telling me about it of course!
-Q: &quot;Will you finish this?&quot;
-A: That depends on the time I'll have to work on this. I planned this release as an example for a 3DS Metroid Game. This is also a way to improve my C/C++ coding ability. All I can say for now is that I'll continue to work on it until I tell you otherwise.
-Q: &quot;Can you release the Source Code?&quot;
-A: The source will stay private for now. I will definitly release the source if I'm not able to finish this for whatever reason.
-Q: &quot;Is there any relation to AM2R?&quot;
-A: No relation at all, except for it trying to be Metroid 2.
-Q: &quot;Is the design of the graphics final?&quot;
-A: Mostly. Reusing old sprites of Super Metroid without any editing is not what I have in mind.
-Q: &quot;Can I help in some other way than giving feedback?&quot;
-A: I will post in case I need help with something like graphic or sound assets.
