I had to login just to say this:

The project is dead and you guys have already stated that you will never return to it. You've put in a great deal of work on these assets just to have them rot on old hard drives. Yes, I uploaded them against your wishes because your wishes have very little basis to back them. You've never explained your stance past "eh because sentimental value". Fuck sentimental value. These sprites can have PRACTICAL value in the hands of the community, as opposed to the literally 0 value they would've had in your recycling bin. I'm sorry, what the fuck are you saying here? "protect your artwork and be wary of art thieves."? I'm the one protecting these sprites from dereliction. You're the one withholding them from the public eye despite you having no intentions of using them yourself, you selfish fuck. I guess that also makes me a thief somehow. God damn.

Also, you know why I wouldn't even think of using AM2R's art assets in my game, while turning around and in the same breath using yours? Because AM2R isn't fucking dead and actually puts their assets to good use. Not that you'd look at it from a utilitarian perspective; you're too busy having your feelings hurt.

@betatronic
Well, if you promise a release and then renege on the whole deal, I don't see a problem with someone who has access to assets releasing them.

Don't like it? Finish your GD project.

Yeah, its great when AlexR/Physix/Hydorah steals sprites from a project he shouldn't have access too and was never made public, then edits them slightly, and then uploads them against the original spriters wishes, just for the attention.
Little warning to future metroid fangame makers: protect your artwork and be wary of art thieves.

I didn't know Chris was still alive.

Thanks for the rip. Such fantastic sprites
