Dynamic Procedural Generation

Project Delta seamlessly blends traditional Metroidvania gameplay with innovative procedural generation. In the game’s Story Mode, your exploration will lead to the discovery of new map structures and meta power-ups, enabling strategic revisits to previous stages – a move that opens previously unreachable paths and expands on the traditional Metroidvania experience in a way only possible with procedural generation. Each combination of map structures generates a unique world, offering different rewards and challenges. In Project Delta, every decision you make shapes your experience, creating a world as unique and challenging as what you wish to discover.

Discover and Experiment

The discovery is part of the thrill as you come across meta items throughout your journey. These meta items, consisting of additional stages or in-stage items, expand your gameplay possibilities and offer new powers. The ability to place these items within the stages adds another layer of replayability. Experiment with different combinations and discover unique paths and surprises hidden within the procedurally generated levels.

Immersive Storytelling

Dive into the lore of Project Delta. Engage in a relentless battle against the encroaching Darkness and embark on a quest for the elusive Seed of Light in our expansive, procedurally generated universe. As you depart from the confines of Aion Station at the dawn of existence, you’ll journey through the shifting landscapes of the universe, uncovering echoes of a world you once knew. Through scattered journal entries and flavor text, you’ll piece together fragments of a rich and detailed history, an epic woven into the very fabric of the world around you.

Mastering the Art of Sequence Breaking

By choosing the order in which you acquire power-ups, you can create new opportunities to venture off the beaten path and break the "intended" sequence. This adds a strategic layer to your exploration and allows you to challenge the game in unorthodox ways. Your knowledge and understanding of the game’s mechanics, map structures, and the generation algorithm can help you uncover shortcuts, bypass obstacles, and access areas before you might traditionally be able to.

Knowledge-Gated Abilities

Beyond the power-ups and sequence breaking, Project Delta also incorporates a knowledge-gated system. This means that as you delve deeper into the game, your understanding of its intricacies, mechanics, and secrets will become as valuable as the power-ups you collect.

These knowledge-gated abilities can be utilized for speed running and sequence-breaking which present unique puzzles and challenges that can only be overcome with a grasp of the game’s underlying mechanics. As you grow more proficient, you’ll unlock even more possibilities within the game’s sprawling, procedurally generated world. Project Delta celebrates the player’s mastery and understanding, rewarding you with more than just power-ups – it unlocks the true potential of your adventure.

A Love Letter to a Classic

Project Delta is more than just a game; it’s our heartfelt tribute to the timeless classic – Super Metroid. From its inception, we challenged ourselves to understand the magic of Super Metroid, dissecting its core elements and translating them into a procedurally generated universe. In crafting Project Delta, we saw Super Metroid not only as an inspiration but also as a guiding mentor.

The story mode of Project Delta builds up to a meticulously crafted map structure, embodying the structure of Super Metroid. This map structure offers an experience remarkably reminiscent of the classic game, yet infused with a novel twist – you can generate the world with your own custom order of items, crafting your unique adventure.

Our advanced procedural generation system is designed to respond intuitively to your choices. Whether you’re seeking exploration, a speed-run, or a low-item challenge, Project Delta will adapt, offering an authentic and personalized Metroidvania experience. Retaining the classic’s foundational elements, we’ve forged a unique path, creating a captivating, replayable, and modern Metroidvania experience. Venture into Project Delta’s dynamic universe, a reverent nod to the past, an exciting adventure in the present.
