While the original project was intended to simply add features, I plan to expand it to include its own maps and monsters. Right now, Samus is a bit too powerful for vanilla maps and enemies, and her full potential just isn't being met with this stuff. I'd like to take what was a simple Zandronum mod and turn it into something with fan-game potential, and I'd like to get other mappers to start using it.
I'm looking for some help from the community on this one, because there's alot that can be improved upon here, and only so much I'm willing and able to put into it. If anyone is able to give me something from the Planned Features list below, that'd be great. If anyone has the ability to get something in from the Wishlist, that'd be great too.

AKA: things that someone should pick up and work on- Graphics
- Arm Cannon - Currently just recolors of the same image... Why not incorporate the changes it goes through in Prime?
- Darkvision Visor - Using the Night Vision Goggles
- Metroids - We need these.
- Demonic Metroids - We need these too.
- Rippers - Also these, actually.
- Zoomers - These would be a nice touch too.
- Special Doors - You know, like, beam doors, missile doors... Need these.

- An Ice Area -
- A Volcanic Area - Maybe Billium?
- A Big Chozo Ruin - The kind of place you find something like a Varia suit?
- A Pirate Base -
- A Space-Station -
- Morph Ball - Can't pick things up, and is a bit wonky in general... Really could use some fine-tuning.
- Brutal Doom Compatibility - As of now, when Brutal Doom is applied, Samus is constantly firing infinite rockets. No idea why. I like the Imp behavior in that mod though...
AKA: Things I want but don't think are worth pursuing.- Graphics
- HD Sprites - For pretty much everything
- MD2 / MD3 Models - For pretty much everything
- Grapple Beam - I know this has been done
- Scan Visor - I feel like this is possible, but with extensive modding
- ? - Shriekbats

Obviously, we could use some Music files to include into the core release, if anyone wants to give us some that they hold the rights to. Also, people who can refine the existing code would be useful.
