This is a little project I am working on where I will make a few things to adapt the 3 Tlos games into metroidvania, like games/game. I know not everyone likes metroidvanias, but it was a metroidvania or a beaten up, and I can't draw 4 legged characters very well, so metroid Vania it is.
As of now, I was thinking of making a big hub world with four separate medium-sized levels where you would be able to travel and explore getting new items and abilities.
As you can see, this is very early on the ideas phase. I am slowly building and working on this alone, so i will only have a few art pieces and descriptions of what the ideas are.
1° Hud ideas: On the top right, we have an idea for a life and energy bar. On the right, we have energy and live collectibles. I'd imagine they would be broken in pieces, and you have to gather them or buy from npcs.
Underneath that we have another life and energy meter next to a claw one, which would show what level your attack would have.
2° The temple map: As we know in the game, we don't see much of the temple since it is in ruin, I thought of first making it in his prior glory so I could better design a destroyed one.
That and in this one, we won't have the dojo parts! Here, we will have challenges we're you'd choose to take part in them, and the guardians would give spyro an element specific item to help the pmayer in the game.
3° The swap map: In the first game, we only played the swap at the start. I thought that it would be interesting to add that if you walked back to spyro's parents' house, they'd would give you an item (one per level) that would heal you for a good chunk of hp, and a few other side quests could be made around the map as well
Feel free to ask any questions if you have any
