Updates image - Super Metroid Prime

Procrastination and technical issues aside, I haven't been much happy with the progress to show anything here. I could probably just do as I started with media and just post significant changes in the content. So here is a bit of images of further practice on Blender; hard surface modeling this time.

I've been starting to convert the arm cannon and helmet to Super Metroid's design and expanding further with a new body shaped accordingly to the references I've got.

Although I'd love to see how the Varia/Gravity suits turn out, I will have to put them on hiatus since they are actually out of scope for the project (going upto the landing on Zebes) and focus on the Power Suit. Alas, I don't have a sufficient amount of references for it, so I will probably blend the style with Metroid 2's suits. Fortunately, although the Power Suit references are still poor for Metroid 2, both Power and Varia suits share a lot of similitudes contrarily to Super Metroid, and it looks like they kept a fairly identical Power Suit design in Super Metroid.

Code-wise, I have been making some of my systems more modular and turned further towards the editor rather than just barely flexible scripts. I have also come up with a pretty handy event system/sequencer; however, I'm hitting a severe wall from Unity with numerous shortcomings on their end. I'll certainly take a focus on this soon with the Zios framework group. I believe things would go much better if I can destroy that huge obstacle that reflection and serialization are to me right now.

On the subject of music, I have not done that much that is related to the project's scope, also given Unity's various shorcomings on tracker modules. I have been practicing a bit and analyzing more however. It's going to take more iterations, but I hope I can nail the ambience just right while breaking the bounds of that old SNES synthesizer with the means I currently have (not much!).

All in all, although with highs and lows, work is still going!
