MM8BDM v3a Released!

[LSDLucifer]

Agrees with Tfp and Gizmo.

[ChaoticChao]

I am part of that 1% too.
You sure that it is 1% that didn't notice that?

[Laggy Blazko]

I thought this expansion wasn't bassed on that project.

[ZeStopper]

The question is...what is the next one based on?
Mega Man 9 or Mega Man and Bass

You'll have to wait and see for the official announcement. Just don't expect it any time soon because v3b comes first. The only thing I will say that from here on in, any kind of overhauling of older content will be saved for minor updates like v3b while new game content will be for whole new version numbers. So the development time for v4a would be a lot more shorter than v3a which combined everything together.

Also V3 had to convert everything to 8bit. Everything from here on with the exception of &B is already 8bit (or much closer to 8bit then MM8 was).

Chronologically this is obviously the logical way to handle it, but is there really any hype for v3b? I mean, wouldn't most be more satisfied with the time allocated to v3b instead placed in v4a development and new content?

EDIT: Ah, I see forte. Thanks for the clarification.

[Ivory]

No, because that would take longer to get anything released. You are pretty new here, so I'll take the time to mention: v3a took just over a year to produce. During which time there was no updates to the v2 versions. And things got really stagnant around here during the last few months. So I aim to not repeat that, even if future expansions should theoretically have smaller development cycles because of this new system.

v3b has some exciting things planned.

Mind=Blown at the image. I always knew all these weapons, actors, maps, etc. took a long time, but over 1 year? Wow. I see what you're saying; many people might get bored and new players in the community might think it's dead. Makes sense in that case, although I feel bad I have absolutely no programming skills to contribute to this project.  

[Linnie]

That stage looks awesome. About how many stages are planned to get an overhaul like that, or is the number meant to be secret?

[FTX6004]

That map looks great!  

[Geno]

WOW, YAY!


MM5CHA is already one of my favourite stages and now you guys are making it even awesomer!




I think I must have spent over an hour on that stage at one point!

[ZeStopper]

Aw hell yes!
We can jump on top of trains! We can recreate that one scene from Skyfall and all those other movies!
We can even get pushed by the train as Turbo Man and finally reach 88 MPH and go back to the future!
So much stuff is possible in V.3B

[Kapus]

Well, that should certainly help the teleporter camping problem the stage had.

The roofs of those were flat because normal trains don't carry cargo at mach 3 on their roofs.

And personally I'm not too excited for this for certain reasons.
