Based on the movie Metropolis??? Sign me up!
Heh, I was wondering when you'd catch this
. Yes based on the movie, it has plenty that could be material for a game:
-Futuristic city as imagined in 1927!
-Evil robot inventor Rotwang who builds a robot with hopes of recreating his wife Hel.
-The "False Maria" robot spreading chaos in the underground city, inciting riots and mayhem.
-The heroine Maria trying to rescue people from a flooding city.
-The giant Heart Machine requiring constant 'hands on' to stop it from blowing it's stack.
-The hero Freder running around underground catacombs battling evil and trying to save the day.
Side scrolling 2D, all in glorious 8 bit looking, chunky sprites etc!
Could be my obsession in 2017 (assuming current stuff is complete).
