hey if he can do it I can do it too


Welcome to the new home of Mega Man Awesome Network!
old thread right here woo


With a sudden resurgence of interest in the project (and shockingly, this wasn't my idea) I've decided to give it a somewhat overdue reboot. Before, the aim of the project was to emulate the Battle Network series as closely as possible, but as Korby said over in the old thread "accuracy doesn't always equal awesome", and you all know the name of the project, right? That's why I'm open to any and all suggestions. Even if you think it's stupid (or worse, I blatantly tell you in your face that it's stupid) who knows? It might get changed up and added as a feature later down the road.

The next build of AwNet should be released sometime before July September 2013 eventually. It will include a brand new Navi class, a few Robot Master classes, bug fixes and balance changes for MegaMan.EXE and his Styles, and even (GASP) a special map! Notice I said "should be released"; if you even remotely know me then I'm a total failure when it comes to deadlines, but I gave myself PLENTY of time to do a relatively light workload so don't freak out.

Questions, comments, complaints, anything. Go ahead and shoot 'em my way. Of course I'd be a madman if I tried claiming all the credit for AwNet, so go ahead and ask my team as well. Llama and Ken do sprite work, Lego is a boss with coding, Coldy and Savior are the captains of balancing, and Megaman is sort of the "jack of all trades". Special thanks to TheBladeRoden for his Green Shell code, which was used to make AirHocky, as well as Ukiyama for donating his Cross Bomb. Yellow Devil also deserves some credit for making the original "wrapper" for the classes as well as for devising a method for MegaMan.EXE to randomly spawn as one of his Styles. Thanks a ton!

Does this mean I have to finish Kingman.

Short answer: You better believe it son.

Long answer: I wasn't expecting KingMan to be finished for the next beta. Feel free to work on him and tweak his attacks, but there's no real rush as I wasn't anticipating for him to be added in the next release.

Well you said the styles will be included, may I suggest taking hints from the WS BN game (Rockman.EXE WS) which was a side scrolling game.

Just some suggestions.

Heat Guts: Normal Speed, higher damage, fire charge. Alt is the gatling, uses a reload time. Weak to Bubble Lead, Water Wave, Water Balloon, Rain Flush, Water Shooter (for people using DOS weapons), Salt Water (people using WV weapons), Water Shield (people using 8-10 weapons) Aqua style charges.
Aqua Brother: Within certain areas it had all its states doubled but in areas with low connection its states were halfed, incorporate this as a good team play class style where it gets a slight stat boost near allies, water charge. Weak to Thunder Beam, Spark Shock, Thunder Bolt, Thunder Claw, Thunder Wool (for Gummy's weps or 8-10 weps), Bit Cannon (DOS weps), Force Field (DOS weps), Spark Shock (WV weps) and Elec Style Charges.
Wood Shield: Moved slow and had better defense, shot a slow moving tornado for a charge. Alt is a shield that uses a reload time. Weak to Fire Storm, Atomic Fire, Pharaoh Shot, Napalm Bomb (Because Napalms spread fire), Flame Blast, Scorch Wheel, Flame Sword, Magma Bazooka (8-10 weps), Solar Blazer (8-10 weps), Torch Arm (DOS weps), Heat Style Shoots.
Elec Custom: Incredible fast moving, but a really weak buster and weak stun charge. Weak to Leaf Shield, Search Snake (cause Snake was wood in BN), Needle Cannon (same as Snake), Silver Tomahawk (same as Snake and Needle), Hornet Chaser (8-10 weps) and Wood Style Charges

HUB: Guts' damage, Custom's speed, Shield's armor but cut the HP in half (which was its drawback)

As for BN3's styles
Elec Ground (thats the artwork element): Same charge as Custom but see if something can come up to incorporate the ground cracking. Secondary fire is swaps fields which is its usable items. Lava stage spreads lava nearby that hurts people who touch the spot but goes away after each hits. Ice stage spreads ice that makes people slide when they walk over it. Grass stage heals wood shield class users but makes fire attacks do double damage to anyone in it. Sand stage slows people down who get into range. Metal stage could create platforms under your feet, acting like a bunch carries being spawned.
All stages would have a set time limit, Lava lasting the shortest amount of time due to actually doing damage. Maybe have it need to pick up items to get stages. Same weaknesses as Custom.
Heat Shadow (cause its the artwork element): Charge shoot makes invisible for a very short amount of time, alt is the flame thrower. Same weaknesses as Guts.
Aqua Bug (again artwork element): potentially a powerful style like HUB but every time you spawn you have random effects ranging from losing 1 HP every few seconds, leaving poison panels as you move, sliping, high speed, high damage, slow speed, low damage, high defense, low defense. Possible HUD indicators showing you which effects you ended up getting.

HNNNNNNNNNG

I'm getting tired of people saying that, really I am. No offense, you probably didn't know better, but I was trying to avoid those Styles as much as I humanly could.In short, although Wood Shield and Elec Custom are "Capcom friendly", it's just a coincidence. I wanted to change around the Styles the best I could, and this is what I came up with.

So yeah, the BN3 style combos you suggested probably won't happen. At all. Ever.


Again, I don't mean to crush your hopes, I just wanted to avoid those particular pairings. I was considering Bug Style for a future update but it would probably be a Normal element class simply to avoid "favoring" a particular element. As far as the attacks go, the Styles pretty much use things like you already suggested (or more AWESOME versions) so I can't really do anything with those either. However, panel effects (if possible) will be added to the fitting Style's folder (for example, LavaStg for HeatSprt and MetalStg for ElecCust). Also, an invisibility attack probably won't be added anytime soon... I've heard enough complaints over the Invis chip, heh heh.

Thanks for the input, though. I welcome future suggestions!

So, are we doing mainly a classes mod of .exe Navis? We could make Alpha a boss!

Hey no problem. I only said those ones because those are what are showed in the artwork, I know people get sick of Heat Guts and Aqua Brother. (I got lucky, my first Guts Style was Aqua. )

Shadow's Invis being short I literally ment short btw, may 1 second of invisibility, figured, if Shadow Man can have it why not the style based off him?

If I come up with any other suggestions I'll put them here.

I'm not sure which of these hands looks the best.



The first one is a direct recolour of Roll's hand, the second is a version Megaman whipped up, and the third is my edit of Megaman's version.
For reference the original Roll hand is on the right.


also fancy project banner woo

EDIT: since Blathers died I've been attempting to re-create all the chips, so future chips will be in the same style



they suck (o_o );



all of Blather's chips are right here

DOUBLE POST OF PROGRESS

I made more chips... but I'm not sure if you like my "style". I'd like some input as to how these look. BE HONEST DARN IT




Colours are not an issue because (if you remember) when Blathers still did work we went the "awesome versus accurate" route with the sprite limitations.




also digging up old posts is funIf you need help with skins, here ya go!

EDIT: added FullCust

Omg, you continue, it's AWESOME!

Iceman looks funny xD
