What Was Once A Mission To
Investigate
Now Became A Mission To
Survive

Hey everyone. I've started developing the areas of Subzero after that horrid crash on the 31st of May. However, I really do not have enough skills or high enough motivation to continue developing the game on my own. So I'm asking any of the VGboxart users to help me in the development process.

I'll stick to programming the game as well as stuff that require photoshop skills, however. There are two things that I do not excel at that is crucial to the game, sprites and enemy design. I'm also a bit edgy at Flash, as the only two things I can do are motion tweening and alpha channeling for making things transparent.

If you guys/girls are new to the metroid fangame business. Allow me to explain about the game.

Metroid Subzero is a fan game that is made with MultiMedia Fusion 2, which is a highly advanced engine that uses the same designing tactics as "Klik and Play" and "The Games Factory", in which programming is done by the engine itself, and mathematical programming is done by the user. The game will follow the gameplay elements of the 2D Metroid titles such as Super Metroid and Metroid Zero Mission, as well as adding some new features including free aiming and more complex boss battles.

Metroid Subzero takes place between Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion. After the destruction of planet Zebes, Samus Aran is sent on another mission to a newer Space Station, Ceres II, to track down the source of what she believes to be an outbreak of a mutation. However, Samus is attacked by an enemy. After the battle, the enemy breaches through the heating systems and an elevator, causing the systems to overheat, self-destruct and leaving Samus trapped in the station. Samus makes her escape in an escape pod, which was somehow programmed to land in an unmarked permafrost planet.

With no ship and her communicator broken, Samus is on a survival mission to escape the depths of the frozen hell, or die trying.

Features:

- Classic Metroid gameplay and exploration.
- Free Aiming System that allows Samus aim in all directions.
- Puzzling bossfights that are more complex than any 2D Metroid game.
- New puzzles that take advantage of the free aiming system and custom scripting.
- Includes a mini game, Metroid: Contamination Zone

If you guys/girls think you are up for a fun challenge, and like doing favors, them please sign up in the boxes below. All will be interviewed on aim or through Private Messaging

Please. :D

There is no limit to how many can sign up!

Testing

1. VGMaster
2. mchapra
3. Kirbylore
4. Lestat_the_vampire

Those who are testing the game will get to try out some of the features of the game before the actual demo. Be aware that as your job as a tester, you are to exploit problems and glitches that may affect the gameplay, and not to play for fun. :o
Also as a tester, you can show off some of your ideas at specific locations of the area. An example would be "I would like to see a certain puzzle in this area."

Story

1. Lestat_the_vampire

Those who will take this job will help me give me ideas on how the game will flow through. I'm pretty much covered on the plot in which samus falls into a planet, but now is your chance to make up how she will escape! Be creative in this!

Authors being interviewed



Advanced Cutscene Designers

1.


I may be able to do some of the designing on my own, but in case there will be cutscenes that may involve much more than motion tweening and transparency, please sign here. :o

Great hand drawing skills and a creative mind is required in this field. This is to coincide to the sprite designers. Those who will accept this job will be creating enemies and bosses, and if you feel like designing environments, your free to do that as well. :o

If you're ready, then go on AIM. Simple as that :D

To anyone who is reading this. After about a week or 10 day, I will be sending some of you PMs asking questions regarding the interview. So if you are indeed interested in taking the chance of making a fangame with me, take that chance!

so, when we get interviewed, what do we show, or say
for me at least

Basically, when you are getting interviewed, you'll need to show me what work you have done to convince me into letting you work with the team.

Since you're being interviewed as a video designer, you'll need to show me some work you have done, like a flash video.
Since you are also applying as a Concept Artist, you need to show me some of the drawings you've done, and if you done any concept art for any other game, that is needed as well.

As a tester, it is optional that you'll need some experience in testing, this can be your first game ever to test, but you'll need to be serious about it, as you know that a tester is supposed to exploit glitches and problems that affect the game, and not to play for fun, you'll still need to convince me into making yourselves worthy to participate.
