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

Screenshots of my map, if anyone is interested.


There's even a space ship, lol

+1 for epic screenshots

Thanks, that gold colored thing with the red lamps is suppose to be one of the boss statue/impasses like in Zero Mission.  I think it's atleast recognizable, lol.

I'm kinda doing this thing in order of what I feel like doing and in the order of the ideas in my head .  I actually haven't been able to find an easy one stop place to learn axe, kind of hard to learn when switching back and forth between information/guides.  I would of course want to start my project from scratch, I can only imagine it's easiest to work bugs out that way.  One feature I want to do is a three level tileset, 1st layer would be purily graphical, 2nd layer would be for movement and physics, 3rd layer a simple background/graphics layer.  Kinda like artclass in kindergarten, with construction paper.

That's awesome!

I'm not sure how long they're gonna keep it this way, but you can download Adventurecraft and use it for free.  It's super easy to use, and if you take your time you can make some pretty impressive stuff.  I just didn't know if anyone plays Minecraft on here. 

Looks awesome!  I'm a big fan of Minecraft adventure maps, even making some of my own, and so this looks like it would be really fun What kind of gameplay are you planning for it?

Ahhh I didn't catch that you were making a game *based* off your adventure map, not the other way around.  Still looks awesome though

File with my map in it, comments and criticism appreciated it's my first map, try it out!  

...... Apparently I don't know how to save my maps correctly because that file generates a new map!  And now I have no map because of a bad precautionary practice.
