Metal Man the dentist of the future

[Korby]

Judging by the reused sprites, it seems to be a rom hack.

[Joseph Collins]

I dunno about that.  Looking at some of the screenshots, I'd say it's a fangame engine... game.  Needleman can't shoot his Needle Cannon while standing flat on the ground, for one thing.  For another, it would take a little bit of know-how to turn Shadow Blades into Metal Blades, especially considering they're only tossable in five directions.  Not to mention a bit more code editing to get Metalman, the Brink Cannon, and Grindman to appear correctly in-game.

It's either based in a fangame engine, or these are mock-up screenshots.

[Korby]

So much of this could be sprite modification, and while I know I'm wrong, I don't think making needleman shoot horizontally is all that difficult.

[Karate Cat X]

what engine are you using bro

is it the Blyka64 engine

or SOMETHING ELSE maybe possibly

Nope, I'm using a Mega Man Day in the Limelight 2 source, for Game Maker 8. I removed every MM3 Robot Master, and it's stage, and starting from scratch.

It's probably Mega Man 3.

Hm, if my fangame was a romhack, that'd be pretty cool.

[Korby]

Curses. Oh well, I wish you luck!

Freakin' ew...  Couldn't you have picked a slightly better engine?  There's so many available...  :(

Alrighty. I'm gonna be working on Grind Man.

Well, Day in the Limelight's engines do have some flaws.. But I can fix some of the physics little bugs.

Apologies for the bump, I'm announcing the project is NOT dead. It just was stopped being worked on for a short time due to alot of schoolwork and personal problems I've had.

The fangame itself will have a "4-master" demo release very soon. Two robot master stages are done, and two are being worked on. Oh, and here's a screenie of the current title screen (still a wip, but so far, so good).



Expect some more screenies.

Reminds me of Day in the Limelight 2. Are you gonna make more for the other RMs?

Well, it does use the engine from Day in the Limelight 2 (credits to Riverroad), an old version (for Game Maker 8), not the latest one (for Game Maker 8.1 *bleh*). It won't be like Day in the Limelight 1 or 2.. Metal Man will be the only playable character, he will go against 8 new robot masters made by a new antagonist, there will be a few throwbacks of some old enemies from other Mega Man games (not just MM1-10, also others), and will have hidden bosses.

[TheDoc]

I just thought of something! Could you make it so that, instead of Rush Adaptors, you could make it so you call a certain MM2 RM for help after beating a certain boss?

[Ceridran]

Or at least, some RM.

I dont see who's launching you into the air
or flying through the sky
Heck, riding bubbleman? He'd most likely
die from metalman riding him.
Needs moar Metadaptors/ Metal Adaptors

Needs a different name.
"dentist of the future" isnt a good name for it.

[Karate Cat X]

Yet more proof of progress.

Well, what about "defender of the future"? I find defender a better name since "dentist" doesn't cut it in a Mega Man-like plot.

[TheDoc]

better than dentist...

[BiscuitSlash]

IMO it depends on what the plot is. Dentist sounds more unique than defender though.
