MM8BDM: Mega Man 8 Expansion Public Thread

[Max]

I'd like Wild Coil to change to Pink and Green.

Scorch Wheel can stay the same though.

Same Here.

[Russel]

Scorch wheel always looked too much like Star Crash

EDIT: Water balloon will be using a differently colored projectile from the base palette, why can't scorch wheel too?

[TeirusuNuigurumi]

i know this must have been asked, but...


will dear ol' clownman have those drop blocks? you know, the ones with a X,O,Arrow, or skull?


and will nade' man's stage have bomb blocks that flame sword blows up?



and astro's dissapearing platforms?

just highly curious.

Above black line are colors not found on the NES palette. Below are those colors found in the NES palette that look close enough to the non-NES palette color scheme.

Transition to Doom palette (and maybe MM8 color schemes) coming forever

*looks at color scheme on the right for S. Wheel*

what

That doesn't look very close to me.

The others all look nice though.

Scorch Wheel, Left is actual colors, Right is following that pallete rule.

[Magnet Dood]

I like both the ones on the left for the weapons in question- nothing too eye-rapey for Wild Coil, and differentiates Scorch Wheel enough from M. Missile and D. Bomb.

Thunder Bolt (SNES) uses blue on yellow. Now, there is no true yellow in the NES palette, so either a darker-than-Mega blue on very dark yellow (kinda like mustard, used in Fire Storm and Atomic Fire) or a peach (used in Thunder Beam) were the closest thing to a replacement for the true yellow.

Danger Wrap (SNES) has two color schemes: one used in the artwork, and the one shown here. The NES equivalent is actually pretty much the same color.

Scorch Wheel's SNES color scheme is a darker red on gray, but as Ivory stated, copy weapons' projectiles in the NES games were colored after Mega Man's color scheme while equipped with them. So you have either dark red on dark gray (following the SNES scheme, breaking the projectile-body color matchup rule) or dark red on Thunder Bolt's yellow replacement (dropping the SNES scheme, following the projectile-body color matchup rule without making it look exactly like Atomic Fire/Fire Storm/Star Crash).

Freeze Cracker's SNES color scheme is somewhat ambigous, and the exact colors are not in the NES palette, or even close enough counterparts. So I went between teal on very light purple (since the SNES scheme has a sort of purpleish hue going on) OR teal on very light teal (kinda reminds me of Blizzard Attack, but whatever).

Junk Shield's SNES color scheme has a purpleish hue as well, mixed with gray. The NES palette doesn't come even close to that gray purple color thingamabob, so I went with dark gray on Freeze Cracker's very light teal.

Noise Crush's SNES color scheme is a no brainer. The colors weren't actually the same on the NES palette, but they were VERY close. MM8BDM uses a much darker purple on cyan.

Durr Slash Claw.

Wild Coil (SNES) has three different color schemes: one used in MM9's ending, one used in the artwork, and the one used in the game. MM9's color scheme is fugly, and the pink-lime combination is worse, and it seems the magenta on light green scheme isn't as eye-exploding as Korby thought, so yeah.

[Gumballtoid]

Honestly, the Red-on-Yellorange Color Scheme looks more appealing than Star Crash colors.
Just my two cents, there. Do as you will.
(Yellorange is now a word, by the way)

[Beed28]

Can we expect a trailer when release is near? Also, can you please confirm that the CSCMR and IX map packs aren't going in?

[Ivory]

Trailer, yes.

CSCMR and IX, nope. I had something I wanted to announce, but then I realized. On April Fools? No one would take me seriously. So I changed it to that.  

[BiscuitSlash]

Dumb-ish question that I've never even seen mentioned. Why is the Knight Crush icon in MM8BDM different to the MM6 icon?

[Max]

The actual icon as seen in MM6 looks less like a mace and more like a Gordo, so that's probably why.

[Gumballtoid]

And to think I believed the whole CSCM and IX thing... I'd fallen for every joke people had played on me yesterday. Lovely...

Also, I noticed the Mega Man w/ hair skin and the Quint skin have their arms down for the front frame, but up to their sides for the front/side frame. Will this be fixed?
