MEGA MAN ROCK FORCE EXPANSION (V3) - V6B COMPATIBLE

[Raze]

Even though i'm not working on it anymore, here's my last work on Cryptman and his running sprites in general.


If you want me back, let me know. I think I could simply finish it, but resting is a better way to go until a response to me is given... I'm gonna go get some pizza in 4 hours.

Finally "finished" Charade Man, here's some screenshots to show off the map:

This version of the map is untested and likely to change before the final version

Looking good.

A couple recommendations for the mechanic in Charademan-
Make the sounds of the swaps only apply to the rooms they're relevant in and make the roulette not last quite as long.

It's a really neat idea, but I could see the sounds being quite annoying if they're not executed correctly.

All the maps look really interesting so far and I can't wait to see this expansion completed.

[Mendez]

I've got another proof-of-concept for Flare Man this time, in case this expansion ever reaches that stage. All the textures and actors have been made, now it's just dependent on whether Max wants me to make it into a map or not.

Currently waiting on Smashbro and Dood to finish their contributions. Jake and I already finished our maps and are waiting on testing. If anyone wants to try making Flare Man themselves, just send me a message on Cutstuff or Skype.

With progress going the way it is, (aka really fast and good) I'm seeing less and less of a reason to not put the fusion masters in the first release :>

Progress to my knowledge hasn't actually been all that fast since Max went off, though there has been a few people interested in working on the fusions early, and if this continues then I don't see any harm in some of the fusions getting in early.

[Korby]

I think it's fine waiting to have them until further versions.
Progress is going pretty decently fast, but the fusion masters double the amount of required maps and skins.

[Max]

I'm back now

the complete and utter bottom line is very very simple - if you make anything fusion related, whether it's a skin or a map, whether it's as close as Flare Man or as far away as Thrill Man, I'll include it in the earliest release I can
that being said, those are not aimed for and I won't wait for an entire set, they're bonus
so a first release might just be 8 maps and skins or it might be 8 maps plus Terror Man plus Thermo Man's skin or something like that and that' s OK

the ATTEMPTED release order will likely be something like so-
1. Original 8 robots maps, skins
2. First 4 fusion robots
3. Justice Stages and Death Man
4. Last 4 fusion robots

but if you have a particular burst of motivation you can make anything from any phase

hi(gh),max!





(please dont blame me for this mmx reference)

Had an idea regarding the Charade Man skin.
Essentially, he has 3 skins due to being a complete drama queen.

Charade Man: Does not mimic Quick or Shadow.
Charade Man Dapper: Wears a hat, mimics Quick Man.
Charade Woman: Wears a wig, mimics Shadow Man.

[MegaVile]

Wait, so it's just 8 maps for the expansion? No story bosses or secret bosses? JUST 8 stages? Wow, I was expecting something like Fish and Polar Man(if it was his name) being secret bosses (for now) or maybe Justice Man, but I still look forward to this in servers!

[TheDoc]

Considering the number of expansions that actually get released (read the front post), it's a good idea to keep the scope small for the first release so that it....gets released. I don't think there's even a campaign planned, but the fact that any expansion is progressing so well is very refreshing to see on the forum. I'm not saying a campaign/secret bosses is a bad idea per se, but like Max said, "expansions barely ever get finished around here and it's better to aim low and add more than never release, fusions and fortresses can easily be added into next versions."

super impressed with how far this has come! i may give pulse man's skin a shot if that's alright.

EDIT: quickly whipped up some rotations for him

[Raze]

Nice to see that the main lead's back. I do agree that the scope needs to start small. We are actually making progress on this, so I should play a careful part too.
I could help out with finishing Cryptman now that I have recovered from my breakdown. That is, if you believe I should return to finish what I started on Cryptman. Have fun in the meantime!
