I've been thinking, of taking my Metroid themed Adventurecraft map, and make a parallel of it, for the TI-84+(obviously i would want to make it a sidescroller)
My idea so far (atleast for Adventurecraft), is that you would play as a Galactic Federation Marine, on a planet outside of Federation jurisdiction. The planet being Ethos, a planet harboring Space Pirate activity. So far the idea is a desert planet hiding a volatile genre appropriate environment underneath the sands. So far I've built a few Romanesque ruins and a semi aquatic area along with a work in progress Tourian-ish(no mother brain
) sector. The pirates are seeking technology left by the extinct Ethos inhabitants(kinda cliche but gameplay will be adjusted to reflect the hero of the story). I do want to include some metroids, but it would make most sense to make the planet a safe-haven for Pirate experiments(metroids
) , rather then making the metroid a native species. I think I can teach myself, the art of making sprites. One plus is that I don't have to worry about making the character look like samus so maybe I can make a somewhat convincing sprite at a scale appropriate for gameplay and also with the limited resolution. If you guys have any doubts that I'm actually working on such a project, I'll be sure to upload some screenshots when I get back home(it's not that hard to make stuff with the adventurecraft tools) I just want to gauge how ambitious it would be to make a playable app for the calculator, and maybe pursue it
P. S. I don't plan on making the instinct inhabitants of Ethos, Romans lol
