Nice stuff Miles!

Been messing with creating custom 8x8 icons for the suit upgrades like @Kthulhu was suggesting. I'm no sprite artist, but since they don't exist anywhere else and no one else has taken the initiative, I tried to sprite icons based off of the 3D models seen briefly in-game that matched the style of the other icons. Here's a sampling of what I've done so far in the Surface and Area 1, showcasing Morph Ball, Charge Beam, Bomb, Ice Beam, and Spider Ball icons. Let me know what you guys think.

I think this game will probably feature Samus.

Oh boy, it's BrotherTime!

@kthulhu I'd just need three boss icons for the bosses. All the existing icons are from the game, so I or someone a lot better would have to make them. As for upgrade labels, yeah I was thinking about how to do that best. Without making icons for each of those, I'd have to find room and a way way to display labels for all of them, so I'll think about that. Was planning on switching out the icons with the raw transparent version ripped from the game anyway.

One of the great things about being on vacation is that I have no obligations and can do what I want. Well, Metroid: Samus Returns just came out and I felt like making a map for it with everything. So here you go.

Hey everyone! I wanted to create a thread to keep everyone posted on where I am at with sending out the donation prizes. I've been super busy catching up with work / family / life after the marathon, so I haven't had a chance to start mailing anything out yet - but I will be doing so shortly. After writing this post I'm off to acquire tubes for the posters (something I tried to do yesterday, but all three post offices near me were out of them). Anyway, here are the recipients of the prizes and the corresponding status, which I will be keeping up to date:
