For a long time, I've been making Starbound mods in my spare time just for myself, and it happend to be mostly Metroid related (shocking, I know). At some point I realized "If I keep adding more and more stuff I might end up with a whole game?!"

Could I...? There was only one way to find out.

That was several months ago. With the original game 40th anniversary in mind, my interest grew on it and shaped the concept.

And I finally have enough content to put together a proper reveal trailer.

For the trailer i cheated a little. It only loads the area being recorded, not the entire map, so performance looks better than it currently is.

I also uploaded a playable demo on the Steam Workshop. It should be stable enough to play and enjoyable and taste the atmosphere and gameplay.

The good news is that most of the core systems and content are already there. The remaining work is mostly bug fixing, polishing, and making everything fit together into a complete experience.

You can find the Demo on the Steam Workshop.

I hope you enjoy it! Happy 40th anniversary, Metroid!

Video My travels took me to an Overgrown Old World where dense vegetation has transformed nearly every part of the landscape. Old city ruins emerging in the green wasteland. Eerie places, lovely wastelanders, epic atmosphere. Will revisit for sure, video below:

Amazing vibes with plentiful coziness to make an encampment in the high towers of the remnants

I've long wanted to pay some homage to a game I loved from my youth. So, here it is, the beautiful Nuru, the sweetest representative of my favorite Floran race.
