The intention was making his sprites custom and actually make it look 8 bit sized and styled for Megaman, so there.

So, that makes 3 Sonics.

Way past cool.

The original sprite design is from a Neo Geo Pocket Color Sonic game. There's also Tails and Knuckles.

Clearly, this style actually fits in very well with the vanilla MM skins. I like it.

To be honest, the sprites I did were not even inspired on Sonic Pocket Adventure's sprites or style. I really just referenced it all from Sonic 1 sprites and tried to make it as close to Megaman style as I could with it.

(http://i46.tinypic.com/2a85cw1.png)

I never really liked his SPA sprite design either.

Thanks for the comments ye all. By the time I have some more free time, I'll try and make more skins. So far, I have one in mind (not gonna ruin the surprise), although I would be kind of glad to take any good suggestions for character skins that would look decent in this game. Preferably, anyone classic Megaman related that hasn't been done yet, so it would kind of make sense in a way.

Requests, eh?


I'd like an alternate Sonic that doesn't shoot with a buster. Maybe throwing something (like his Ring Dash and Cracker Mine from Sonic Battle) or curling into a ball (Spin Dash, the Bounce from Bubble Shield or the Bounce Bracelet) or something. Not too much of a complaint since this is my favorite Sonic skin of the three, but just something small to note.

I love the screenshot where he's using Junk Shield. Man, those side walking frames make it look like he's sprinting around in one of his levels with some sort of new Trash Barrier. Love it!
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: Kapus on December 25, 2012, 01:36:24 AM
Looks super cool, but he probably shouldn't attack with a buster.
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: MotorRoach on December 25, 2012, 01:51:42 AM
I ran out of options. I was suggested before to make him use a throw animation instead based on his ring throw from Sonic Battle, but then it'd look like he's throwing something upwards, and the bomb throw he has in the game is more of a downwards thing. I can update the character with an alternate shooting animation, in case anyone knows anywhere else where Sonic shoots or throws stuff. That or I might just make it like Metal Man and other characters do for shooting.

@SmashBroPlusB: Not request, suggestions. Something that I can considerate making in case I like the idea.

Post by: MotorRoach on December 25, 2012, 07:05:14 AM
New shooting/throwing (most likely throwing) animation idea.

(http://i47.tinypic.com/s58s9w.gif)(http://i49.tinypic.com/1zdtb2u.gif)

Got the idea after seeing the ring attack from this video. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pnsn0_w6K9Q)

Y/N?

Looks neat.
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: Knux on December 25, 2012, 07:08:36 AM
It looks alright, I guess. Although I don't see why Sonic should obligatorily not have a buster when he's had swords and knight armors in the past.  :|

Really, I'm okay with both. If anything, buster Sonic is hilarious. It's like he got invited to the Megaman universe. Hell, there was even an official crossover in the Megaman Archie comics.
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: SmashTheEchidna on December 25, 2012, 07:11:35 AM
I do like his throwing frames better than the buster, but you can release the two as separate skins to please both sides.
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: MotorRoach on December 25, 2012, 08:44:02 PM
The skin has been updated, as well a bit of the bot lines (thanks to a friend of mine). The new animation is pretty fancy, it specially fits when you are using the Ring Boomerang weapon.

(http://i50.tinypic.com/2q3253t.png)

It just looks awkward when using the Bass item, but not like it matters that much.

Get the skin with the new shooting animation here. (http://www.mediafire.com/?z77gydcsb0xsuoz)

Mega Buster Sonic for those who like him being a Megaman. (http://www.mediafire.com/?owmppt0ty7khw1t)
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: SmashTheEchidna on December 25, 2012, 09:22:20 PM
Actually, it would be better if you renamed Buster Sonic so that it doesn't conflict with regular Sonic. I'm sure some people would like both. And, you should probably rename regular Sonic as well, since there's already a Sonic.

Try SonicTH and SonicBuster.
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: MotorRoach on December 25, 2012, 10:17:01 PM
I think it would feel more worth to rename Sonic with the Mega Buster into SonicBuster (or something like Sonic-Buster, Sonic-Alt) if I applied a Mega Buster to all of the frames. It wouldn't take long to do that, and it would make more sense for it being like that rather than the buster only appearing out of nowhere in the shooting frames. I'll do it after getting feedback on this idea.

Busterless Sonic will still be called Sonic, though.
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: SmashTheEchidna on December 26, 2012, 12:35:35 AM
The reason I said change "busterless" Sonic was because there is already a skin named Sonic. The two will end up conflicting eachother if someone tries to get both. (I'm waiting for the name-change for that very reason)
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: MotorRoach on December 26, 2012, 10:56:01 PM
Not willing to change his name unless enough people think it's a necessary change. In the meantime, just leave the Sonic skin you prefer in the skins folder while the other one stays out of the skins folder, because that's what I would do anyway. I can't imagine myself nor much people playing with two different Sonic skins that way.

Zip's been updated (http://www.mediafire.com/?jd0k12044wyvyys), Sonic now carries the mega buster on every animation now, and the mega buster Sonic skin has the name changed to Sonic-Buster, so both can be in the folder without any conflicting.

(http://i47.tinypic.com/9uoo5x.png)

Gotta say that he looks kind of heroic when standing with the buster in a front view.

I feel the need to point out that you can have as many skins with the same name as you want (e.g., my SMB1 Mario and Whoever-Made-SMB3-Mario's SMB3 Mario), and everything will still work.  It's when the skins share codes (The four-letter code used for skin programming) when issues pop up.

IN OTHER NEWS:
What's with all the cool new members making intelligent posts?  This is a pretty good first skin; much better than mine.  I applaud you.
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: SmashTheEchidna on December 27, 2012, 02:22:02 AM
But when it's asking if you want to replace the already existing Sonic.pk3 upon downloading, I think it's necessary to change the name.
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: MotorRoach on December 27, 2012, 02:33:11 AM
How about I call him Snoic?

Or Sonic-MM (as in Mega Man) since the intention was to make him Mega Man styled. I got this idea from some skins in the game such as Roll-Mobile and Bass-SCG.
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: SmashTheEchidna on December 27, 2012, 04:51:46 AM
Sonic-MM sounds fine.
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: MotorRoach on December 27, 2012, 06:45:11 PM
Yeah, well, I seriously hope this is the last thing I have to update on this skin, because I updated it quite the times so far, and there was even some that I updated without mentioning. I was actually planning to put an 8 bit-ish dying Sonic sound effect for him, but I don't think it's really worth it, since he's all Megaman styled.

Get it here (http://www.mediafire.com/?j3p8p0qz74ixt41), yeah. The skin's be renamed now, so no problems with the other Sonic skin will happen.

I also have to say now that I won't have much free time for the next weeks, as I have to work on a very important project without any delays, but here's something that is good to look at while I don't work on anything.

(click to show/hide)

Anyone who has the best taste ever for a "megaman sprite comic" will know what this is supposed to be. Although I refuse to make further progress to release this skin, unless I get permission and approval from BroToad, so if anybody sees him, ask him if he thinks this is a good idea. I personally think it's not the best idea, since Megaman and megaman are two completely different things.

If you played the game, you will know what his "shooting" animation is.
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: Kapus on December 27, 2012, 06:47:22 PM
You could just PM him on these forums if you want permission.

I have him on skype, though, so I could ask him real quick right now.

(make a bot too.)
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: MotorRoach on December 27, 2012, 11:32:38 PM
Working on it, and almost done.

Just wondering, before I release this skin, does anybody knows what to do to replace NPC sprites, like Roll's on the Robot Master Wardrobe? I want to give them their other designs so it goes along the sprite comic skin.
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: SmashTheEchidna on December 27, 2012, 11:42:37 PM
I'd highly suggest against that, but her sprites are in the V3A PK3.
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: Geno on December 27, 2012, 11:55:58 PM
Hey, a megaman sprite comic/game expansion might be a good idea..........
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: MotorRoach on December 28, 2012, 12:11:48 AM
Should I do something with the characters that never appeared on the Megaman Sprite Comic? As in, should I do my own view on how they would be like if they appeared in the sprite comic (because I did that before with some other people, since I love the comic so much), or should I leave them as they normally are?
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: Geno on December 28, 2012, 12:20:59 AM
Maybe you could ask Brotoad what they'd look like.

(I myself have been dying to see what Cutman and Frostman would look like in megaman sprite comic.)
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: MotorRoach on December 28, 2012, 01:53:56 AM
I wouldn't do Frost Man as I only intend to do the characters that appear in Dr. Light's house. Unless he appears in there and I didn't see him yet, since I didn't get too far on the game yet.

But yeah, maybe I could ask Brotoad on that.
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: MotorRoach on December 30, 2012, 11:43:12 PM
The ecstasy begins

(http://i47.tinypic.com/eg7ig.png)

Not really, no. No release of this yet, because there is something I have to take care of, so things will have to wait a bit.

Back to my previous question, anyone here knows how to modify the NPCs in Dr. Light's house? I can't make an expansion pack to modify the place without knowing about it. I at least remember seeing screenshots where Roll in the robot master wardrobe was wearing different clothes.
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: Hallan Parva on December 31, 2012, 12:10:44 AM
Just add sprite files that share the same names as the NPC sprites, and it will replace them when you load the file.

To check the sprite names, you'd have to dig around the core with SLADE or something similar.
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: MotorRoach on December 31, 2012, 01:07:28 AM
Tried to do that and been experimenting with things around it in both pk3 and WAD files to see if it would make things different, but the NPCs still do look the same, and the files do have the same names as inside the game. Is there something else I am supposed to leave on the file to make it work other than just the sprite files, like a folder or a text file?

If anything, a sample skin/pack that has something like that modified done before would serve as a good sample.
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: Hallan Parva on December 31, 2012, 06:50:56 AM
If I'm not mistaken, the Powered UP! Expansion from Myroc and his cohorts has the modified Roll you're talking about. It'll probably break if you try to load it alongside v3 due to the weapon updates and all, but it's worth a shot.
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: MotorRoach on December 31, 2012, 11:18:03 PM
Gave it a shot, and yeah, it broke. I might just make something like modifying the NPCs when I know more of the modding possibilities on this game, if it's even possible. If nobody else knows, then that will have to wait, yeah.

Meanwhile...

(http://i50.tinypic.com/2zdwplc.gif) it is released now (http://www.mediafire.com/?c0ok47lffz81sep)(http://i50.tinypic.com/2zdwplc.gif)

Comes with the skin and the bot WAD with the best lines of your favorite aborted child turned into a robot. Yes, that's all, go enjoy it, as I'll likely not be online that often next month. Happy new year too, yeah.

expansion time!
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: MotorRoach on January 01, 2013, 04:45:14 PM
I might do pretty much all of them, since I love the comic so much. But should I make snakeman as well? He's pretty much a stupid prick who looks like an idiot who can't even fight, so I'm unsure what to do for his animations. I might end up making him standing still for every action.

I was thinking if I should make cool enemies from the megaman sprite game too, because for some reason, I really want to make the b-ball bumper skin, as well the ghost.

Suggestions welcome, he he he he!

(click to show/hide)

Yes, they both are done, but I don't intend releasing them yet, as I actually intend doing more of these, and maybe release it all as a pack some time soon.

I actually would love to do an entire mod for Halloween, but I would need slightly technical help from someone who knows how to modify the main things in the game (because I tried before and I just don't even).

Yep, it's me. The same guy responsible for recreating Knuckles entirely (and revamping Sonic at the moment as well) for SRB2.

(http://i42.tinypic.com/qp536d.gif)

I had registered in here quite the time ago, but little after I had registered, I had too much to do and had no time for focusing on making skins. Recently, I then remembered that Halloween is going to be the second anniversary for the Megaman Sprite Game, and decided to get back onto doing skins related to it for MM8BDM. For those who are not aware of what it is, it is the official game of the only decent sprite comic known as megaman sprite comic (http://megamanspritecomic.tumblr.com/tagged/comic/chrono). Trailer of the game for those who didn't know as well. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNpfPHGKr-U)

I am willing to make some more skins up until Halloween, but I really would feel the need to make a more complete set if anyone could help me on making a mod, with few custom levels and story for making a more interesting experience between the megaman sprite comic and game characters. If anyone could help on that, it would make a really great release for Halloween~
Title: Re: Skins by MotorRoach
Post by: Geno on October 15, 2014, 12:17:53 PM
Yaay!

I was wondering when the other megaman sprite comic characters would become 8BDM skins!

I, myself, really want uncle proton as a skin. I tried it myself, but didn't get far.

Also, what'd be cool, would be if they also used sounds from the megaman sprite game!

There is a sad turn of events. Recently, I had been busy with many different things, and I will still be for a while. That's why I'll have to release the only skins I've done before. Sadly, I don't have bots for them this time.

megaman sprite comic zero download (http://www.mediafire.com/download/c7fc38y8y36yzy3/zero-msc.pk3)

megaman sprite comic roll download (http://www.mediafire.com/download/t4i5kad5oxn94x0/roll-msc.pk3)

That is all. Wish I had the time to do more, but it isn't the case right now. Happy Halloween, either way.
