A Nudge in the Right Direction.

Short blog/requesty thing;

So I want to make Credence Filter a platform adventure game. It will have scarce enemies but it will have puzzles and platforming and stuff. Half-implemented is a system for picking up important items, which you can only have one of at a time until later when you get the ability to store an item. Items can be weapons/tools/key items.

Bleh, basically, the point of this blog is to ask you guys what some good platform adventure games are so I can play them and study their techniques and concepts. I want to make an actual game this time around.

So what are your favorite adventure games? :D

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (and Dawn of Sorrow if you got a DS), Psychonauts, Metroid Series (recommend GBA's zero mission for newcomers), Demon's Crest for snes (GOOD GRAVY I LOVE THIS GAME)

The only Castlevania game I've played is this one for PS3 with super zooming maps and six player co-op. I play as the character with Holy Lightning (Yoko, I believe) because it's the best god damn spell in the game. Played Psychonauts, that game's awesome. I should specify I'm looking for 2D games. Also they can be indie games.

I like this idea because I can emulate it for free legally purchase it via my time machine.

Thanks for the suggestions.

EDIT: Also, I like your new avatar.

What Rez said.

You should also look into Kirby: The crystal shards (Or whatever that one "good" one was for the GBA)

Thomas was alone

Megaman Zero

Crystal Shards was 64.

The Kirby Metroidvania was The Amazing Mirror, and the other nondescript Kirby game for the GBA was Nightmare in Dreamland.

You're probably thinking about the Metroidvania :V

Super Metriod, Metriod Fusion, Megaman Zero 2, Megaman Xtreme 2, Gex 3d, Spyro The Dragon 1 & 2 and a stack of others.

@JuurianChi

Megaman Zero, hell yeah. I seriously want to see him duel a Jedi lol.

Castlevanias, Cave Story, Metroids, Megamans
