Metroid Prime 2: Echoes


Story:

A Galactic Federation ship has disappeared in pursuit of a band of
Space Pirates. At the request of the Federation Samus journeys to the
planet Aether, the location of the ship's last transmission. There,
Samus finds herself in an incredible world where light and dark
intertwine in two unstable dimensions. The Light World is controlled by
the Luminoth, a peaceful tribe with a unique and highly developed
civilization. Their four gigantic energy generators are all that keep the
Light World from collapsing. But that civilization faces imminent
destruction at the hands of the invading Ing Horde, beings born of the
Dark World. If the Ing seize control of the generators, the Light World
will be extinguished forever. Samus embarks on her mission to defeat
the Ing and restore peace to Aether. However, an ominous shadow
lurks in the darkness, a shadow which quietly stalks Samus.

Hmm, good luck with that.

Thanks, as of now i am working on ideas of weapons, abilities, items,
Terrain and Battle Systems. Mainly i just started so basicly everything.

Awsome idea i love the metroid series good luck and i hope you get a beta soon

I certainly won't have a BETA soon, cause i'm gunna take time and effert into this map/series, in a couple days i Might have an ALPHA out soon, but i highy dought it... But i will what i can to get the best out of this map

I'll be more than happy to test for you. I would make some music for you, but this is metroid. Best to use metroid music of course. I got no ideas for it right now, but if or when I get some, I'll tell you them right away. GL with map.

I got some of the music from the first Metroid Prime if you wanna use that

What type of battle system will we see?

I could test also, i absolutely love metroid games, maybe a dodging system?

That is what i am working on... battle systems, i will also do my best to add special conditions such as

- Confused (walks randomly around)
- Paralysis (can't move)
- Phazon energy (if i can find a way to accurately take away health)
- Burned (same as phazon but by different units)

- Yes i was going to add dodging attacks^^

Some battles will be faught while in the middle of a war between
the Evil Ing and the Peacefull Luminoth! With special effects such as:

- Ing infecting a Luminoth Warrior to change to the Dark Side
- Appearing and dissapearing units from Dimension rips
- Special Warriors (Heroes) with abilities

I am still currently working on how these will work and more ideas

hmm if u have an inventory or a trigger based shooting system definately use a dropship or building method or nething that doesnt take ur attention away from ur unit, like beacons do

Yea also beacons arent that... hrmm... creative, and mainly serve 1 purpose.

I will consider using the dropship method
i might add the Mech Test trick to the map, to take control of tanks,
vultures, etc. anything thats ground/mechanical.

You can also use a bunker instead of an airship. However, it only has 4 slots.

Hmmm! that might be a good idea, i myself have never seen that in a map before.
So it might be an original inventory usage.

Edited:
I just thought of something, The Terran Bunker can only hold Infantry units.
Not lots of combinations like Drones, Probes, etc. Basicly only SCV, Marine, Medic,
Firebat, Ghost, and Heroes of the past units. That's only what i know.

[glow=Use dropship...definatly...bunker could work if all items were terran infantry but then you wouldnt have much choice for terran heros or extras. Dropship is best by far. when you come out with beta i would like to test good luck with it.]orange[/glow]

(if glow doesnt work shut up..lol i just figured out how to use it...i know im sad...*sigh*)

Id be interested in how you do the burned and poisoned stuff.

I think he would just make a trigger that modify the hit points to a certain percent everytime....

Yes, but i will need to find a way to accurately take the HP away.

Also their will be Missile Tanks for more Missiles, and Energy Tanks for more Health. But those are not able to be bought in a Shop, they will be hidden so you must find them.

OK so much for beta testing even though its a good thing that your taking your time so it wont suck

Go to VGmusic.com and get some kewl Metroid Wav files!

o yea... gl!

Idea: You could have the dropship and shuttle be items/abilities, find 8 unused units and put them in as "Slot 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8". Then have overlord as the battle interactions like jumping shooting etc... just a random idea .

"o to VGmusic.com and get some kewl Metroid Wav files!"
I've been there too, but all the ones I saw there are Midis, so you'd have to convert.


for the Poison effect, I simply suggest that you use virtual HP, with a scoreboard.
That's by-far one of the easiest ways to accurately remove HP constantly, along with not allowing exploitations of cheats and being able to have more health than you should.

Lastly... YHOLY SWEETNESS your map sounds cool so far!
Good luck with it, I ca'nt wait!

I can just use the score board for status HP such as health conditions like being poisoned, burned, phazon energy damage, etc. etc. all the stuff that is not attacks,
also it can be health for magic attacks, but damage will be used normally as the Unit health, so if the Score board reaches 0 then Samus will die, also if her real HP gets to 0 then she will die. how would that sound?

But if i find a way to use them together as 1 such as Switches for the posion, damage etc., andhave it so it wont make the health preserve as that 1 set health,
then that would be very good, i'll only use that if theres absolutley no glitches.

While i gather all the information i'll just make a trailer for the Rpg
I've never made a movie related map so it can be my first... or maybe
i'm making one because everyone else is doing it nawww,
It's not that the trailer won't be very good because this will be my first
movie related map, so don't get your panties ina knot

I dont think you should make a trailer, it distracts you from the main game, no trailer! Use what creativity you were going to use on the trailer in your map. It makes them alot better.
