Mega Man Final Project

[-FiniteZero-]

(Robot Master Designs so far)

This is a Mega Man fangame that might be rather neat.

The bosses:

(click to show/hide)

-Paradox Woman-
Created as a prototype. She can control energy. She has a rather strange personality, as well as ADHD. Her weapon is Flaming Ice. Her stage will be hecktic. It will also go almost entirely to the left. There might be a section with a quickbeam. A giant, slow moving quickbeam (meaning autoscroll!).

-Acoustic Man-
Created to test the acoustics of music halls and theaters. He loves music, and is always wearing headphones, but he is partially deaf due to listening to his music too loud. His weapon is the Acoustic Blast, which can destroy all enemies on screen, and push away the enemies that are not killed outright. No real idea for his stage. Some of the enemies should respond to sound. I'm thinking, in his boss pose, he'll do some head bangin'.

-Shatter Man-
Created as a prototype. He can shatter his durable glass body at will, fling the shards, and reassemble himself. His weapon is the Glass Shard, which is basicly the Super Arrow with a piercing effect. His stage will be a glass tower, almost entirely vertical.

-Cloak Man-
Created as a prototype. He can turn himself invisible to any form of detection. He is modest, but very shy. His weapon is the Invisibility Cloak, which when used, allows you to go by enemies undetected. No idea for stage.

-Unknown Man-
Created as a scientist robot. He is very smart, and surpasses in all fields of science, but specializes in robotics. His weapon is the Antimatter Bomb, in essence the Metal Blade, except explodes on contact with anything. His stage will have four parts: Fire, Ice, Low gravity, and High gravity.

-Warp Man-
Created as a prototype, but used to divert things away from space craft and space stations. He is also quite smart, but once he starts talking, he never shuts up. His weapon is the Space Warp. When you charge it, you flip your own gravity. His stage will have no gravity. Basicly, how that will work is: when you jump you reverse your own gravity.

-Gun Man-
Created to test the durability of new metal alloys. He is actually smart, and is an expert gunman. Ironicaly, he is also a pacifist. His weapon is the Chain Gun, a very rapid fire weapon.
Not sure about stage.

-Nuclear Man-
Created to deradiate nuclear waste. Due to his job, he is highly radioactive. As such, he is a loner, and distrusts everyone else. His weapon is the Radiation Lob, which has the trajectory of Chill Spike. When it hits an enemy, the enemy will start to take damage over time. The stage will have streams of nuclear waste, which will do constant damage.

*Wily Guardians*
-Lantern Man-
Created by Wily as a sentry. He is wise and methodical. His weapon is the Spot Flame. It works like Magnet Missile, but with an arc. It can also light dark areas.

-Dynamite Woman-
Created by Wily for offensive purposes. I imagine she would have a sort of long ponytail (that would look like a fuse.) She is angered easily, and is afraid of nothing. She also has a crush on Splash Woman, but prefers not to talk about it. Her weapon is the Hyper Dynamite. In essence, it's Hyper Bomb, but explodes on contact with enemies.

-Auto Man-
Created by Wily for defencive purposes. He talks in a German accent, and also tends to talk quickly. When angered, he is downright impossible to understand. His weapon is the Auto Ram. When used, it shoots you forward at an insanely fast speed, instantly killing any enemies you hit. It's difficult to control, but very powerful.

-Superconductor Man-
Created by Wily to power his base. He can generate unheard of amounts of electricity, but his body must be kept at an extreamely low temperature. He sees everyone as an equal, but is a bit of a smartass. His weapon is the Frozen Lightning. When an enemy is hit, if it survives, it will be frozen and can be used as a platform.

*Mega Man Killer*
-Medley-
Not much is known about the last Mega Man Killer. She's quite the enigma.

The story:

(click to show/hide)

In the year 20XX...

Mega Man, the defender of peace, has defeated Wily many times.

When 8 new robot masters started rampaging, Wily was quickly blamed.

And, in fact, Wily announced he was creating a secret weapon that will finally destroy Mega Man!

However, he did not create the robots! A mysterious, nameless scientist that HE created these robots,

and was working with Wily! Who is this mysterious new foe!?

I am making the music myself. I'll be taking the hack route, and simply make 8-bit versions of other musics. Hey, it worked for No Constancy.

I will need help with level design and coding, as well as sprites.

The soundtrack is now more or less complete! Though, I don't have the boss intro, castle intro, or boss defeated themes, I got everything else!

And it's in version 4 too!

List of what needs to be done-
    -Design-
>Paradox Man
>Acoustic Man (full spritesheet)
>Shatter Man
>Cloak Man
>Unknown Man
>Warp Man
>Gun Man
>Nuclear Man
>Lantern Man
>Dynamite Woman
>Auto Man
>Superconductor Man
>Medley
>Final Boss (must look a bit like Mega Man)

Oh look, weapon colors!

<Flaming Ice, Acoustic Blast, Glass Shard, Invisibility Cloak, Antimatter Bomb, Space Warp, Rapid Gun, Nuclear Sludge, Spot Flame, Dynamity Lob, Frozen Lightning, Auto Ram, Medley Beam>

I will post more as the project develops.

Oh, look, it's Paradox Man.

I decided to give him a buster shaped like an hourglass and a clock on his chestplate because of the whole time paradox thing. Also, might I suggest that his weapon be Za Warudo?

[-FiniteZero-]

Well, I already have Glitch Man, whos attack is pretty much Za Wardo.
And, well, yeah there is "time-paradox", his stage probably would have nothing to do with time, thus neither would his theme.
Good, design though. Getting rid of the time theme, and adding something else might work. Maybe...
...
...
...
...Well, damn, I can't think of anything...

[easyaspi]

I'll get back to you on that one. Anyway, I was thinking something like this for Glitch Man.

Since he's Glitch Man, he has lag and has broken parts strewn this way and that.
Probably just design 0.1, but it'll do for now.

[-FiniteZero-]

Interesting idea.
Maybe, in his pose, or during some frames, his graphics could look glitched.

[easyaspi]

That's what I'm thinking. Have some of his body parts move between running poses...
But, then again, you're directing the game.
Also, I'll start composing the music soon, just tell me what sort of idea you have for each master and I'll get on it.
But I'll be gone this weekend, so I might be around. MIGHT.

Oh, in that case, the sprite works fine.

Alright, for the music...

Paradox Man: Theme would be calm, and somewhat soothing, to contrast with the hectic stage.

Accoustic Man: Try for something upbeat, like Stage 7 of kevviiinnn's work (you can listen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrUjvvjFXjk&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL)

Shatter Man: Something "crystally", of course.

Cloak Man: Something like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCrmFOwT90M&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL.

Unknown Man: Something like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCrmFOwT90M&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL, although it works so well I just want to use that.

Warp Man: Something Space-y. Doesn't need to sound "warped", because the stage simply takes place in a space station.

Gun Man: Something "war-like" with gun effects in it.

Nuclear Man: Something like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbSOpmx-uSY&feature=related

Glitch Man: Something sounding glitchy.

Lantern Man: See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXhowJnhCi8&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

Dynamite Woman: Up to you.

Auto Man: Something fast-paced with a heavy beat.

Superconductor Man: Something that is a combination of electricity and ice.

Wily themes: up to you.

[easyaspi]

Well, Finite, I can't come up with any good original song ideas, so is it okay with you if I just convert songs from other games into 8-bit? If that's okay with you? Please?

[-FiniteZero-]

Alright. I'm looking at:
Microsoft Fury3 and/or Hellbender.

kevvviiinnn already has alot of 8-bit music made, so I'm not afraid of using that.
I also refer you to:

[CHAOS_FANTAZY]

Well, I did a bit of work on your "Final Boss" request.  Some color inversions and stealing from other palettes later...
NEGA MAN IS BORN! *DUN DUN DUN*



I recommend saving it and zooming in, so you can see it more clearly.  Obviously, he doesn't look like much right now, but it's certainly an idea to play around with!  We could have him with several different forms, each one emulating a weapon from the past games...but I'm getting ahead.  Do you like Nega Man's base sprite?

[-FiniteZero-]

That's do quite nicely.

[-FiniteZero-]

Ya know, I was playing Wily Wars again, and I thought, "Why aren't any fangames in this style?" so, I now have a poll about whether to have it 8-bit or not.

[darkmath]

Hey Finite, well, I made the sprite sheet for Warpman, if you're going to make like Willy Wars, I can remake the sheet.

(click to show/hide)

EDIT: Warpman's shot animation. Each frame has a 0,15 second time speed. I made it a circle so you don't have to make it downwards for when Warpman shifts gravity;

[-FiniteZero-]

That will work fine.
I will only have this in Wily Wars style if the poll says so.

On a random note, why hasn't anyone created a Wily Wars 2, with the Mega Man 4-6 games?

[darkmath]

^Agree, BTW, here is the tileset for Warpman followed by the animation of the tiles.

Big Block:


Light Block:


Space Background:


Static Block:

Actually, the spikes don't need an animation.

EDIT: Megaman using Space Warp.
