Toaster's Metroid Prime Romhacking Wisdom

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad Plasma Processing.

This is a dump of my thoughts after spending upwards of 5 months on the Metroid Fool romhack. Coming out of that experience, I've learned several lessons I wish I had known going into this process. Hopefully this helps others seeking to make similar hacks avoid design mistakes - even if this advice is coming from someone whose total romhacking experience is microscopic compared to members of certain 2D game communities. This advice is intended for any Metroid Prime romhacker who intends to increase the difficulty of the base game, however, you could also argue a lot of this is just good game design (in which case you'd be better off reading a book).

All examples used in this guide are fabricated as to not spoil the contents of Metroid Fool.

Lesson 1

Starting Room Hex Edit

This guide walks you through the process of editing the starting room of a vanilla Metroid Prime NTSC 0-00 ISO using only a hex editor.

  1. Install hxd

  2. Use dolphin to extract NTSC 0-00 ISO to folder

  3. Open prime/sys/main.dol in HxD

Overcooked! 2 Feedback

This document is a braindump of everything that I believe is stopping Overcooked! 2 from being the best game ever made. Please consider all of the following if you are thinking about making a spiritual successor.

Failure Feedback Loop

When a run goes well it goes really well, when a run goes bad, it goes really bad. This is because of a feedback loop designed into the game which amplifies both failure (and therefore success as well). These are the components of that feedback loop:

  • Fire ruins food and takes burner/oven out of service and requires effort to be put out
