 * It seems I'm 7 hours ahead of you, if I read this correctly... That means it's 1-3 pm here when it's 6-8 am there. I guess :D And that'd be fine with me, though I suspect your will to wake up that early! DarkSamus89 09:06, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, looking at this, I am in the cream-colored zone labeled "5". If you are 7 hours ahead of me then you are in the brown zone labeled "2"? So this means it is 2:00p.m. there when it is 7:00a.m. here?

Also, you know about the ill-fated "Metroid 64" right? You know how it was supposed to take place between Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion? Well, that's when Metroid: Other M is supposed to take place. So I have decided to make my own Metroid 64 and make a ROM hack, or try and make the game from scratch. I was wondering if you could be of assistance. X Super Gamer Talk 17:09, April 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, exactly! In case we're reading it correctly, of course :D


 * I have to say I'm very interested in your project. I don't know what kind of assistance I could be of though. I'm just a self-trained spriter, who knows nothing of 3-D modeling, has composed songs that could only be described horrid, and knows almost nothing of game programming :D I am interested in level design, however. Oh, and I'm already assisting in 2 other games, RoyboyX's beta Fusion hack and one The Legend of Sword at Metroid: Fan Mission. But please tell me what you have in mind, I'm all ears!


 * Oh, and I wish you good luck with BNK. I sincerely hope you two don't clash as bad as we did. Dark Samus  89  19:56, April 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, I'm interested in level design too. And I don't know anything about programming either. I do know a tiny bit about 3D modeling though.
 * First of all, we need to decide if the game would have been 2D, 2.5D (think kirby64 and ssb), 3rd person shooter (think destroy all humans), or a first person shooter like metroid prime. If you can't decide what it would have been, then what do you think would be best? X Super Gamer Talk 22:51, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think Nintendo would've made it 3D, like Super Mario 64, or the 2 Zeldas. But now that I've seen Other M gameplay footage, I think an SSB style wouldn't be bad at all. Dark Samus  89  08:34, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * When I said 3rd person shooter and first person shooter, that is 3D. However, metroid prime is a shooter. I just wanted to know, if metroid 64 was 3D, would it have been a third person shooter or a first person shooter? X Super Gamer Talk 19:39, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think it was officially decided, but I'd go with TPS. Dark Samus  89  08:06, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well dang. That means we won't be able to do a Kirby hack then. Also, I don't know of any third-person shooters for the N64. X Super Gamer Talk 16:38, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * But of course, it's your decision. I don't think I should really affect your hack with my opinions, so I think any kind of hack would be fine :) Dark Samus  89  19:04, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I haven't even started the hack yet. And if we make the game from scratch, we could do anything, including making it a third-person shooter. And it's not my hack, it's our hack. So I do need your opinions. Also, before we do anything else, we need to come up with a story. X Super Gamer Talk 20:33, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Heh, that actually contradicts your first message to be precise, but I'm sort of glad you see it that way :D But anyways, in case we didn't make it from a scratch, what games you've thought about using as a base for the hack? Also, do you have any ideas for the story? Dark Samus  89  09:16, April 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd kind of like to just expand my userspace one directory so I won't fill up your talk page, and we'll have a dedicated place to talk about this.
 * Well, I thought of using either Kirby 64 (2.5D) or Megaman 64 (3rd Person Shooter (sort of)) as a base. Or, if we make it a FPS, we could use Perfect Dark or Goldeneye 007, but Perfect Dark would probably be easier.
 * I have a few ideas in mind for a story, but I'd rather put those on my userspace expansion if you think that'd be a good idea. X Super Gamer Talk 14:42, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, please do :D Since it seems we have so much to discuss!
 * Of those games you listed, I've only played Goldeneye 007 :D But judging from screenshots, I'd say that Megaman 64 could do great as a base! It looks almost just as I've always imagined Metroid 64 :) But Kirby would work just as fine, I think. But if you'd like FPS better, I'm sure both 007 and PD64 would work very well.
