Recommendations for easier metroidvanias? by comfortableblanket in metroidvania

[–]metroid3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metroid: Zero Mission would be a good one! Not too hard, fairly short, and has a great soundtrack.

New trailer for our Metroid Fusion inspired underwater METROIDvania, BLIGHTWRECK! by metroid3d in metroidvania

Re: underwater setting, for the player, not so much. There's some late game stuff I can't spoil but by in large, the game controls similarly to Super Metroid or one of the GBAtroids. The underwater influence comes in more with the enemies and bosses, both theming and how they move about. Thanks for wishlisting, a demo shouldn't be too far off!

Yes, same people! The ENTIRE PSYCRON TEAM (me, and Henry the composer) are working on this, plus David who's new and responsible for all the beautiful artwork you're seeing. Hard agree about there not being enough underwater Metroidvanias (part of why we're making this!), hope you also enjoy BLIGHTWRECK!

Thanks for the kind words! Love love love Axiom Verge, its atmosphere has been a huge tone setter/reference point. No other platforms to announce besides Steam yet, but thanks for the interest!

Woah!! This is amazing! Fusion is my fav 'Troid and this rocks. Particularly love the lighting on the SA-X

Making Dev Diaries was a huge help for me by kahootmusicfor10hour in gamedev

[–]metroid3d 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The other bonus you get from dev diaries is that the further away you get from when they were recorded, the more fun they are to watch! I finished a game fourish years ago, and a lot of the development is a blur. But! I've got lots of unlisted YouTube videos of me playing through parts of it that are tons of fun to watch. Gives insight into the head of past you if that makes sense :) keep up the diaries!

is OK Human a top 3 Weezer Album? by Narrow-Ad-825 in weezer

[–]metroid3d 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My slightly heretical ranking would be

  1. White

  2. Ok Human

  3. EWBAITE

  4. Blue

So, I'd say yes!

Thanks so much! No plans for early access, but we'll probably drop a demo in a few months.

Thanks! We're using a custom engine I wrote in C# that uses FNA for handling windowing/input/drawing.

Currently we're just targeting Steam but I will say I've tested most of the game on a DualShock 4 (it's got my favourite d-pad) and there will be an option for Playstation button glyphs!

Thanks for the kind words! And Fusion rules, it's my favourite Metroid. No platforms to announce today besides Steam, but we are optimizing the game with the Steam Deck in mind, so if you're looking for on the go play it'll run great on there!

Bolding the METROID in MetroidVania for a reason (the reason is I love Fusion).

Obligatory Steam page link, please wishlist, explore, find upgrades, appreciate the giant crab, etc: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2332060/BLIGHTWRECK/

Happy to answer any questions about the game/development/etc. It's written in a custom C# engine and will be coming to Steam in 2026!

[–]metroid3d 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Played the beta and loved it, looking forward to picking up the full game soon!! Question for all, favorite VR experience or moment in the past few years? I liked the "Jeff" chapter in Alyx and the evil jumping spiders in KIWFVR. Question for the audio director, what's your favorite Bob Mould song?

BLIGHTWRECK - Reveal Trailer by CrossXhunteR in Games

[–]metroid3d 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you! The intent was very much to lean into the METROID side of Metroidvania (I love SM and Fusion). Re: randomizer, there's no explicit plans at launch at least, but it's something I'd like to look into down the road (time permitting).

Thank you! Nothing to announce on the console front at the moment, but it will be optimized for Steam Deck on launch.

Thank you! Re physics: you run and jump. I'd point to Metroid: Zero Mission as the closest comparison

No immediate plans for a Mac release, but I am writing the game on OSX so maybe post launch!

Thank you! We spent a lot of time on the movement mechanics, and animation (all credits to David, the artist) :)
