It does work - Offline. Online? It has a cloned morphball that appear behind yours to other players. There's issues with getting in and out (such as a player in a morphball not appearing to be to another player, visa versa), major lag, etc.

Morphballs will also deter from what we are trying to do with the mod - focus on gameplay. Rolling around in a ball is a sheepish way to play the mod. We'd also have to rebuild all our maps to incorporate ways for the morphballs to get around - again, if it was possible to get it working well. It's not, and I have no regrets. I want our focus to be on our weapons, and so it shall be - for good reason. I believe we have a diverse weapon set, not found on any other platform, including the original Metroid games. You can customize your formula for gameplay by swapping beams out to make lethal combos.

You don't have to believe me, in fact, I can understand if you don't, but I really think we'll get it working well and make it a good mod that everyone can enjoy.

Thanks.
