FAQ originally by Illy on SCU's mp2d board

What is Metroid Prime 2D?
Metroid Prime 2D is simply a 2 dimensional remake of Metroid Prime(think Zero Mission). It will include the most of the elements of Metroid Prime if not ALL.

Is there a demo out?/When will the game be released
At the moment, we are still collecting the needed elements to create the demo. We don't have a particular day nor month in mind. It should be soon, though. The full game.. no idea yet, the sprites and music are well underway but we're severely lacking in backgrounds.
Where can I sign up?
You can sign up to join the project here: Team Sign-up. Note, you have to be good at something, even if it's critical thinking or spriting bosses.

What platform is it on?
At the moment, it's only planned to be on Windows.

Can I see some of your sprites/sounds?
Yes, they can be found at our website's Resource Section.

Is there anywhere I can find information about the team?
Yes, the information can be found at our website's Team Section.

Is this game incorporated with Nintendo in any way?
No. This is not a commercial game. This is freeware. Nintendo owns all the copyrights to everything in the game.

Do you have a website?
Yes, our new domain is www.mp2d.co.uk. There you can get info about the project and look at the team.

What changes are planned from the original MP?
Aside from the obvious changes in room design to accomodate the 2D design, the only game-altering changes planned are trap doors in boost ball tubes to allow exiting (jumping out would have to be impossible, which would trap you if you didn't have the boost yet!). We may add an escape sequence at the end, and all music is being remixed, but it's basically the same game just in 2D.

How will things like cutscenes be handled?
We're having hand-drawn CG art with limited movement, ZM-style.

Will the character designs reflect the 2D Metroids by reusing sprites, or will you be making new sprites based off MP?
We have a large team of spriters creating all sprites, mostly from scratch with a few edits thrown in.

Will the tractor beam be a function?(attracting refills to charge beam)
Yes.

Game Maker: I can't scan or switch visors, what's going on?
None of the different visors and beams have been implimented (aside from Combat and Power, of course).

Will there be any items not present from the real game?
Of course not. There might even be some new ones as secrets...

Will the wall jump be in the game?
It's been suggested many times, but no answer has solidified.

What is the game being programmed in?
GML, a programming language built in to Game Maker. It's supposedly similar to C++.

Will there be secret worlds, sequence breaks, etc?
Nothing intentional is likely, but there might be some possible anyway.. hell, there's a SW that's been found in the demo already.

Once you're done with MP2D, will you be making MP2E2D, MPH2D, or MP3C2D?
Possibly our most commonly asked question ever.. -__- No, probably not. We've taken forever on this one, and it's been a hell of a lot of work. Sorry to disappoint. However, many of us have already started sprites of the MP2 creatures, and the engine would be easy to edit, so there's a small chance we might.. but it's highly unlikely, again.

I think we should lay a few questions by 'new people' that are frequent.
"Q: Will there be thermal and x-ray visors?" etc.

Let's just add the following question:

"Will there be any items not present from the real game?"

"Of course not. There might even be some new ones as secrets..."

>_>

That way, we won't be answering "xray?" "scan?" "thermal?" "which spacejump?" etc so many times, we can just point to one answer for them all :P

I believe MH said a while ago this will be the fan board. The development side of things will still take place over at SCU

By the progress board, I meant for use to post topics with compliations of finished resources. Much like some of the topics we have on the scu board. But these compliuations will be for the fans to look at and comment on.

Will there be wall jumps? I leaning towards no, but I'm not sure.
If I were to trip, would the result be an explosion or a duck?
Will make plots for food.

I suggested a while back that wall jumps could be added to represent ghetto jumps, but they didn't like it T.T
