Minetroid (Minecraft Texture Pack)

[Xan Kriegor]

I LOVE Minecraft, and I really wanted a Metroid texture pack, and some guys are making it. But, another person was making it, but it didn't get updated for more than 2 months.

Here's the link to the pack, by the way.

That's an ok pack. Thanks though!

Sorry if I'm bumping something long dead, but I'd just like to let you all know I've recently joined that texturepack's dev team. Right now, it seems it's just the two of us keeping it going, but I haven't sat still updating it and pushing Tizzle to work on it too:
-the forum topic has been greatly revised: instead of just a few sloppy half-built sentences, it's now a decent topic with all the necessary information, albeit still kind of WIP
-the pack itself is getting some updates with deeper fixes like custom splash screens, custom main menu, a Metroid-ish font for the game and of course the in-game updates that were lagging behind a bit
-you might also like to know there's a lot of bonus content to it now (always has been actually) and I'm working on my own sub-project: after making 2 sets of HD paintings (no patching needed, HD paintings just work) out of the official wallpapers, I'm now working on getting 25 Deviants to give me permission to use their art for a very unique touch to the paintings. Some other bonuses are nice visors (one is light-sensitive and always there, the other is the Prime visor and shows up when you wear a pumpkin), special skins that complete the Power Suit, Phazon Suit and other armor suits you can wear, etc.

The texturepack itself is like 95% complete and the development of it has picked up pace again.

Sorry if that was a tad commercial or anything but I figured people on the MDB would be interested in knowing a Metroid texturepack has risen from the dead again

Hope you have fun with Minetroid!

For those interested, this pack is still far from dead! Tizzle (the main dev) and I have been working on it for a long time now and we're not planning on stopping anytime soon. We're actually managing to keep up with the updates fairly well. Currently working on adding a certain Space Pirate to the pack...


We've even managed to get Yuki (yes, the awesome cosplayster) along with several Deviants to join us a while ago!


We've been making a whole bunch of player skins to go with it too (relatively old pic, the suits have very much improved since I made this gif, most notably the PED suit):


So yeah, just a little update. We really need some more downloads to keep the pack alive and what better place to show that we are active than on a Metroid forum when the Minecraft forum is drowning in itself?
