The devil breaks into your house at night and points a shotgun at you and your pet. He orders you to make an indie metroidvania clone that's better than Super Metroid. How do you design it?
Done
>>744591526I compile the binaries for AM2R in the name of the father, son, and holy spirit
>>744591638>made by one guy>mogs the shit out of "indie teams with dozens if not hundreds of developers making their own metroid clonesBased
>>744591638Not even close to Super Metroid in quality. The developer missed all of Super Metroid's clues on where to go, thought getting lost was a core part of the Metroid experience, and intentionally made a map that doesn't naturally flow. I'd give it like a 6/10 compared to Super Metroid's 10/10>>744591526My solution:>Improve missiles. Getting +5 missiles when you already have over 100 feels pretty worthless. You're never using all that shit especially since the charge beam is just better. Instead split it up into a few different types. Give them elemental effects or something. With more types but less of each, that +5 fire missiles when you're in an ice area will feel way more useful and significant.
>>744591638>my favorite indie metroidvania as fpbpkino
>>744593952Was Axiom Verge 2 made by one person? It feels like he had some consultants behind the scenes.
>>7445958241 was, not sure about 2 desu desu I haven't played that yet I've been too busy with SM romhacks like X fusion, ascent, and subversion
>>744591526I make a typical modern indie metroidvania.
>>744591526Done
>>744591526I start a patreon. Right now the game is in ver pre-alpha v0.01 so we'll be there for a while
>>744597323X-Fusion is really good. I have to add it to my top 9 romhacks
I guess I have to suck this guy's cock if I want to get out of this because I suck at game design. I don't like it but if that's what I have to do then I guess I'm sucking some cock.
>>744591526>The devil breaks into your house at night and points a shotgun at you and your petThink again
>>744597323Axiom Verge 2 was an Epic exclusive and you play as an Indian woman. That second part might have been the developer's own choice.Also have you tried Metroid Planets? I dled it yesterday on a fangame binge.
>>744598049I won't hate a man for having specific tastes, nobody chooses what turns them on after all, but the epic exclusive thing sounds awful. I've never seen a good game that's epic exclusive.I haven't tried metroid planets but it seems interesting enough, I'll give it a shot after I'm done with my current lineup. A replay of M1 is always fun.
>>744600724>I've never seen a good game that's epic exclusive.Witchfire and Salt and Sacrifice (another metroidvania sequel)
>>744600852There was also Blades of Fire but I'm not a Mercurysteam or Metroid Dread fanAnyway they're all on Steam
>>744591526Super Metroid but Samus starts naked
>>744600852>>744600943A lot of Square Enix games like Kingdom Hearts too.We can start the Epic exclusive wall of shame here
>>744591526I make Super Metroid but add dedicated buttons to switch to Missiles/Super Missiles/Power Bombs
>>744591526Just make Symphony Of The Night or Bloodstained. Shrimple as.
