AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake) is getting a new 2.0 update soon with completely redone assets and new features!
The team is hard at work and trying to finally get this to see the light of day, but need a few extra helping hands to give this project the TLC it deserves. The following is an update from the AM2R Community Updates Lead, Lojemiru.
The AM2R 2.0 (the art overhaul) has been extremely under wraps for a long time, but we’re in a bit of a sticky spot and I would like to peel back the veil a little bit for a moment here.
We set ourselves a deadline many years ago, and are approaching it faster than we currently have the ability to meet with our art team. A delay is not possible for a number of reasons, mostly relating to long-term burnout - several of us have been working on this project for nearly a decade.
We have a solid understanding of the remaining amount of work. We could use help almost everywhere, but these are the areas we currently need significant assistance:
This is a volunteer project with no money involved, and all artwork will be released under CC BY-SA 4.0 upon game release. We guarantee credits inclusion for using artwork. We do have a level of quality to uphold, so please refer to the attached examples of our artstyle.
We all want to bring you the best game we possibly can. Thank you for the enthusiasm and support over the years.

We have a solid understanding of the remaining amount of work. We could use help almost everywhere, but these are the areas we currently need significant assistance:
- Backgrounds. We have an artist who excels at these, but the amount remaining is too much for him to do alone. For most areas, these are 1-2 layers that may tile vertically and/or horizontally.
- Setpieces. Think items like the statues on top of the Tower or the Samus sprites for the credits sequence.
- Bosses. We have most base designs established, but several need to be detailed and/or animated.
- Tilesets. A lot of this is “finishing” work where we have an established design but need more pieces added.
