I made two different versions with the original MZM sprites. In the first one, Samus has small shoulders, and in the second one she has bigger ones. Now, I realize that the Hazard Shield is supposed to be purple and gray, but I was working on just memory when I made this, and my memory is horrible. :lol: I'll probably make another version if you guys don't like one of these. Anyways, here they are.

Hazard Shield V1


Hazard Shield V2

I would post them as thumbnails, but it won't work. <_< Anyways, I'm not quite sure how to do it, but I need to make some sprites with the Shield activated. Hmm...Perhaps instead of making Samus' entire body glow, perhaps I could create a sort of "roof" over her head? What do you guys think?

I like version 1 better. ^_^

The hazard shield doesn't just protect Samus from acid rain. It also protects her from fuel gel, in which case a roof over her head wouldn't do much. :P

Version 1 is better for sure ;) her shoulders look much to big in number 2!

Yeah, I forgot about that. I did notice last night, however, that it "protects" you from Phazon when you jump in the pools to recharge. :lol:

Okay, I have an Idea. If I can find some shinespark sprites, perhaps I could mess with that a little.

Umm... Phazon ALWAYS does that for the entire game, including PED suit. You never get to test with Varia suit, but still.

On a side note, you should merge the HS and PED suit into one IMO. I also thought about this Samus's secondary beam being the Nova Beam.

Problem with the Nova Beam is that it has the same properties as the Plasma (Wave?) Beam in Super Metroid. My solution: Why not make Plasma Beam only have burning properties (aka Opponents keep recieving damage after bing hit by it), while the Nova fire through Walls/Opponents? Heck, if we must, give the Nova Beam Sniper Properties.

Edit: OK, I remember now. Wave fires through Walls, Plasma Fires through enemies... so... same solution I suggest still applies I guess...

:huh: I don't quite understand what you're saying. Are you saying that Phazon pools recharge you pretty much all throughout the game? I knew that. I meant that the hazard shield, even though the Phazon pool you're in is giving you energy, still treats it as damaging to you, and activates.

Anyways, here is my Sheet.



If I ever animate the Hazard Shield Activation at the bottom of the page, I'll probably remake the sprites in order to lengthen the amount of frames, and not make it look so choppy.

Oh, okay, sorry for the confusion.

Another thing, is the HSuit should have orange (merged with Varia), not Purple... it IS Blue near the end, but that's from corruption. Actually, it's hard to tell. :/
But right now, it looks like a Gravity Suit with different shoulders.

Remember, the shape of Samus boots is more... uhh... simple? It's different anyway, mainly boots. Hang on, I have an image, here:

Note: This is the PED suit only.

I like it though. I won't be able to comment on the "damaging" until I see it in animation, as right now, it doesn't look great. Maybe we could add some of the particle effects for it? Maybe not, I dunno.

I hate to be a critique , but her shoes do look a little like platform shoes! I like the sheet though, it's very good! ^_^

Yeah, I see what you mean with the shoes. I didn't mess with them though. They're just like in MZM. Anyways, I've remade the Activation Sequence and it shouldn't look as choppy as it would've with those old sprites. I still think the animation will look a little choppy, so I'll probably have to remake them again. <_< I don't have time to upload the new sheet onto Imageshack tonight, it's midnight and I have school in the morning, but I'll try to remember to do it tomorrow night for you guys. ;)
