Metroidvania - Blog Posts

A while back, I did some testing in Metroid 2: the Return of Samus. I wanted to see how consistent damage values were, among other things.

The above document is my findings. I tested all damage values from every source, tried out every weapon on every enemy, and even cross compared between damage while using the base suit, and the Varia suit.

I found that the damage values were consistent, and I mapped hit points for each enemy based on the number of power beam shots each enemy takes to defeat. Using this, I was able to figure out how much damage each beam deals.

Ohh I found this lil thing I made! It was a Hollow Knight fanart I made for inktober 2021 ^^ it has been my favorite game for years now, and it's what got me into metroidvanias and my love for Metroid too!

"Hyper realistic Hollow Knight 3D fan film"

Everyone! Watch this!

Yo this goes out to all hollow knight fans who want to play similar games!

I am not far into the game yet, but i recommend the last faith!

Its also a side scroll metroidvania with the kinda cozy/depressed vibe and an infection/abandoned world kinda trope.

It has a pretty similar fighting and playstyle, great art and nice music.

Its more dark than hollow knight tho, its usk 16, has some gory stuff (pixelart so not THAT bad) and overall is really gothic so be aware of that!

Good to keep on your blog if nothing seems interesting at the moment.

i know this means absolutely nothing to most people but basically all of the little web game things I've made recently (angels in automata, hex plant growing game, d.a.n.m.a.k.u., life music, sudoku land, the metroidvania style map editor, etc etc etc) are all entirely self-contained individual client-side html files that can be downloaded and run offline and have literally no libraries or frameworks or dependencies, because i'm an insane woman who enjoys hand coding my input handling and display code from scratch in vanilla js and having it all live in one single html file with the game logic and the page structure and the page style all just living and loving together side by side in a universal format that can be run by any web browser on any devixe. i'll even include image files as base64 data-uri strings just to keep every single asset inside the one file.

Made some Oc's because I was bored, they aren't finished, but still I think they're pretty neat:)

I had pretty much no free time last 3 days but I want to keep my account more active so here's that for now

OH GOD, I'M ALIVE???!!!

But if being serious I would have posted more if not my damn studies and for now have this sketches

May I present you.... THE BOY!

Some of my sketches, seeing all this amazing art people draw here inspires me a lot (also, Toby is the best boy)
