Ambureon Romhacking Showcase

[RT-55J]

Streamer-friend Ambureon wants to play some friends' romhacks for their 5th streamiversary:

Announcement Skeet

Hacks of any game are acceptable, not just Super Metroid.

The streamiversary event will be in mid/late June, but for logistical reasons the effective deadline for submissions is the first week of June. Please understand.

Anyhow, I finally have an idea, and want to see where I can go with it.

[RT-55J]

The idea I have is a morph-ball only hack like the classic B2-TW.

I think you will understand the motivation when you see what the morph ball looks like for Ambureon's custom sprite:



(The sprite was made by my buddy BachelorSoft, who's going through some major life challenges right now. Please give him some money.)

I have An Idea for a custom intro, but I don't want to commit to it quite yet.

Writing out my plans for my own sake:

• Figure out how B2-TW lets the player save/load while morphed.
• Find/create however many morph ball powers I can manage in a week or two.
• Sketch a design for a world and play sequence with those powers in mind.
• Find some tilesets and music to use.
• See if I can implement some silly NPCs dialogue boxes.
• Make the hack.

The plot is that some Pokemon-inhabited world is being attacked by Metroid creatures, and it's up to resident metroiding-expert Ambureon to save the day with their metroiding experience.

Working title is "Dogtroid."

this is gonna be great. let me know if you need anything

loading the game in the morphed pose was ezpz (I just copied B2-TW's homework):



modifying save points so they don't require or force a stand looks like it'll be relatively easy too

and morph lock will also be pretty dang simple, assuming this resource works as advertised (and I can just cut out the stuff about an additional collision type)

that's enough for tonight

your screwtank.asm file helped give me bearings for my high-jump-tanks.asm file. nothing's implemented yet, but i feel like all the pieces are in place...

[neen]

glad i could help, i recall that file being a real mess though

[RT-55J]

I've workshopped several possible intros to this hack and I've landed on one that is extremely, extremely funny.

but I need to wait until I get the basics down before getting embroiled in such frivolities

[RT-55J]

we got dog-saving:



i also got morph lock working

good day
