Super Metroid Prime
Developer
This is a fan made video game demo showcase based on the Metroid series owned in its entirety by Nintendo. This project and its members have no intention of appropriating the Metroid intellectual property or make profits over it. The sole purposes of Super Metroid Prime are education, growth and entertainment.
Here's what I loosely did for the past days.
After torturing myself about pre-thinking design and make everything perfect from the start, I finally opted for the easier path of "make it work first". That led to simplifying the structure of the scene and systems a lot, despite the weaker methods. I also ported some actions into separate little scripts that handle more specific stuff, like the bobbing effect, or the cannon's controls; still for the sake of simplifying. Started messing with entity pooling as well, which I might expand on when more entity types will need it.
Pretty much everything you see in this video are test assets, which I made for 98% of them (all except the fire balls and a slightly edited ground texture). None are final or in final version and the ones I didn't make were borrowed in legal bounds.
Next update might have actual interactive physics, fixes to the bobbing and probably targets for upcoming tests!
PS: yeah, that "Lower Cavern" demo theme sounds like I used some cheap homemade instrument ripoffs, but it wasn't even supposed to be added here, or not this soon if anything. :p
