tAPI [WIP][Released] Metroid Mod

[Scooterboot9697]

I'm curious. When balancing the mod, was it balanced and tested on Expert mode? How do you think the mod will function on other difficulties?

Well, thankfully a lot of Expert mode balance is automated (something like global multipliers on enemy HP that also affects mod enemies).
The only real issue is bosses aren't appropriately tweaked for Expert (vanilla bosses have extra attacks/changed behaviors, whereas I've yet to implement that kind of stuff).

While quite a bit of balance has already been done for first release, I imagine a lot more balancing will have to be done in the future.
I think it's becoming a running saying of "it'll be done in a future update."

Eager to see your work, scooter. Any update on progress?

Well, things were going smoothly, then I realized that none of the basic enemy/mob NPCs have their natural spawn code set up, so I have to set that all up now. But aside from that, we're like 90% done, I think.

tbh, imo, the single part that I'm looking forward to the most is the weapon system. that seems good enough to have been in it's own release (plus, there's like no other metroid mod for 1.3, and, I really love the metroid style weapons for terraria). but, keep up the good work

 

[mynameisgabe]

yeah. weapon system is easily the most impressive thing I've seen in a terraria mod tbqh.

The beam system is cool AF, but don't underestimate the joy of rolling through gaps only 2 tiles tall

Pretty random reply but I just wanted to say that the small fanbase following this mod has really grown over the years. It's just awesome to see how many people have a love and passion for both the Metroid franchise and the amazing, community-driven game that is Terraria. I'm still as hyped for the release as a was a few years back, and I must hand it to you Scooterboot, this mod really is stunning. Let's all continue to support this mod as well as our homie Scooterboot (is that wierd saying homie?) and lets play the heck out of it as soon as it releases.

 

[CiscoRamon]

the anticipation is thick rn, also, Scooterboot, could you, or one of the other mod devs make a discord server specifically for this mod?

 

[MoonlordB0i]

Aight I was planning on sending this when the mod releases but, couldn't wait, here it is...

Anyone can use it free, i really don't care. And no offense but i think the other art felt a bit basic imo...Sorry, dont mean to offend...
Also yes, it is original and made by me. Just to clarify.

 

[Harbinger425]

As a massive fan of the metroid franchise, i look forward to playing this mod

 

[ShadowTiger]

I know that one of the high points of the mod is going to be its immersion. I fully intend on sticking to content from this mod as my entire gear. At that point it's just a matter of squeezing as much combat-related content out of the mod as possible.

I don't even know what kind of base I'd build, or what kind of creative Metroid-related options there will be for building. I'm more than willing to do what I need to do to make it feel worthwhile.

Looks very good dude!

I always look forward to Scooterboots content. He's always full of surprises especially in the metroid community

Likewise! I'm super excited to see what's included with this release. I'm even more excited for the future of this mod considering Scooterboot's ideas!

Decided to try my hand at banner making too

 

[ShadowTiger]

That looks pretty badass. Do you wonder what it might look like if the entire background, red parts and all, were a decent bit darker to make the foreground/letters stand out more?

WOW! That is really nice. Also a good way to implement Scoots avatar.

When it's 7am and you know you're missing something obvious

 

[Elcrin]

I cannot wait for this to come out. It feels like it has been an eternity.

 

[A guy I guess...]

It has been an eternity.

 

[CiscoRamon]

well, we only have 16 weeks max to go. he said that it will be released by or before july first, so, that's a plus

 

[Scooterboot9697]

Oh wow, guys, geez. "No pressure" am I right? Lol

the anticipation is thick rn, also, Scooterboot, could you, or one of the other mod devs make a discord server specifically for this mod?

We currently have a private discord we use to coordinate our efforts. The plan is that after release, we modify the discord to be more friendly to newcomers (y'know, making our dev chat channels private, create roles, and etc), and then make it public.

Wow, these both look amazing! I kept debating on making my own banner, though have had little time to actually do it, but you guys seem to have it handled!
