One of my favorite weapon mechanics, awesome.

This'll go well with that custom wavebank I made! This is gonna be so fun

This is actually VERY impressive.

And of course a word of appreciation for spider ball being a thing.

I love it! I'm looking forward to control customization, since the controller i use doesn't have a start button and the controls are in awkward places.

Technically what my controller is missing is another set of L&R buttons, and what i normally use as start & select are what counts as the bumper buttons.

This is awesome! The animation looks smooth, the splash effect is neat, and the speed boosting grappling looks really fun

Wow this is amazing! Did you have to build this from the ground up?

With the help of a few Game Maker tutorials to get me started, actually. But other than that, yes, at least 90% of this was designed from scratch.

My life is complete now.

Looks great, Scooterboot!

I have a rather sneaky idea, but it'll be awhile before it comes to fruition.

Thanks, I'll put you in the credits for your help getting the sounds n stuff. Anyways, have you figured out how to make the power beam chargeable in tModloader? I'd like to know how to make a weapon chargeable.

I haven't even started programming it. I wanted to completely rewrite it, but you could always try and use the old tAPI version of the code (look in MProjectile.cs in the main folder; and look for the projectile files in Projectiles/powerbeam for other useful references). (Edit: I should mention, look for the void function called "Charge" within MProjectile.cs for the main code.)

Yeah, I was hoping for something simple. There is the charged blaster cannon in the base game, you could always take a look at the code for that (I can't figure out how).

Maybe it's about time I get my lazy butt back to work. Honestly, I haven't made any significant progress for my Metroid Engine, as I've been terribly unmotivated to work on it. I guess it's giving me a feeling of confinement, as I would rather make my own original game (but I can't sprite worth crap).

Making a mod, however, is different somehow. I suppose the least I could do is play around with tModloader and see if I cant build up some motivation from that.

Hopefully tModloader works properly for you, I told my brother you may get back to work. He gasped and got excited; I guess that's the birthday gift he wanted most.

Hehe. Yeah, I saw that the day it was posted. I browse those forums at least once a day.

Since they make an update about the progress each month, I watch it monthly.

Anyways, I'm so hyped for it!

It's not just my engine, I've been unmotivated in general. Haven't done anything productive in the past few weeks. But that's mostly because I've just been going through a few things personally, and some real life stuff has been happening.

I'll admit, I have toyed with the idea of updating my mod again, but I sorta wanted to wait for Terraria to finish with its major updates, as I'd hate to have to rewrite it a 3rd time (and although I trust tModloader's ability to keep up-to-date with Terraria, there is always that slight chance that it could become outdated and have to be updated/wait for a new modloader to come out).

Well, I hope you get whatever has you unmotivated worked out, I really enjoyed the Metroid mod.

I still love how smooth the animation in Super Metroid is.
