As the title says, this is going to be the official topic of a new project myself and Dood will be running. The premise is to pick up a story which will take place after the ending of the Core 8BDM storyline, even though we do not know how it ends yet of course. This story will feature new characters/skins, weapons, maps, bosses and campaigns based on Megaman games and media not making it into Core.
As Ivory put it.So like, a non-canon story to a non-canon story. Cool = w=
At the moment the story progression will go DOS + DW > R&F2 > Strat > WC with Archie and SAR in there as well. If you don't know what some of those stand for ask via PM or Skype.
At this time DOS and R&F2 will have their own releases until preparations are complete into mixing them into this project. If you wish to contribute or even join up as a dev for this project please contact Dood or myself via PM or Skype and mention how you wish to help (maps, skins, weapons, sprite art, etc), and we will tell you what is available based on that.
The general idea is for a new hub in a new lab for this project's content, within this hub similar things will be found as light's lab but built to handle the new content. The stage select will with hopes be a real level selection, allowing the players to pick the order in which they play stages. Team Deathmatch will be in effect for many parts of this story, the first part being 3 team dm throughout the campaign. But here is the kicker, the intention that you can mix and match your allies for each stage (not that it changes anything outside of the botchats)
Current Devs
FGG = Project Head and Mapper
Dood = Co-Head and Skinner
Chaos_Fantasy = Botchat maker, idea maker, backup skinner
Badz = Weapons and Scripts
Chapter 1 + 2 DOS (The robots are revolting) (http://cutstuff.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=6020) is being run by Dood
This expansion is currently underway, to help out with the DOS exclusive content please visit the page. Some maps still need to be made as well as the weapons.
The non-DOS exclusive tasks require 4 Skins, 4 bosses and 1 main actor and cutscenes. Please contact one of us for details.
Campaign will include 3 team deathmatches between Player Team, Wily's Robots, and the Controlled Robots.

This expansion is on hold until DOS is completed, but work can still be done regarding it's exclusive content. Contact Dood for details.
Campaign will feature Player Team versus Dimensions team.
Chapter 4 Megaman Strategy will likely be run by myself.
This expansion will need textures, music, 15 skins, possibly 2 bosses, 13 maps and 12 weapons. All to be determined at a later date. Please contact myself for details.
Campaign will feature player team versus Constellation Droids with Wily Robots
Chapter 5 Megaman & ????? WC
Details at this time are going to be withheld, contact myself if you really want to work on this part already.
Campaign will feature player team versus enemy robot team.
If you really wish to contribute to 8bdm and don't feel you will ever be able to help the core game, this is your chance to help out in something more then a simple map pack or expansion. For assisting in the expansion exclusive parts please visit the expansion's page or contact the expansion heads directly, for assisting in the non-expansion exclusive parts such as DW, SAR and Archie contact myself at this time with what you kind of material feel you can contribute.
Also feel free to offer potential better names for the project as a whole.
