Title: MM4SP - Cossack Crusaders (WIP)
Post by: Magnet Dood on June 03, 2019, 06:44:05 PM

Welcome to Cossack Crusaders!
Mega Man is in trouble again-- Dr. Wily has wiped out all of Dr. Light's robots in a brazen attack, and he's kidnapped the good doctor-- and Roll, too! Desperate for help, Rock turns to an old friend (and foe) in the snow-covered Russian hills. But Dr. Cossack gives him much more than a hand; in fact, he gives him eight pairs! His Robot Masters are ready to turn the tides in Mega Man's favor!

Who will you go after first?

What is this?
Cossack Crusaders is a new mod designed to bring back the single-player experience offered by MMSP, SiN, and MMXSP a few years ago. It was always one of my favorite experiences in 8-Bit Deathmatch, and breathing new life into it via this mod has been extremely rewarding and fun. Fight your way through 8 stages and bring down that malevolent menace Wily!

Watch out for these aggressive apes!

What's in it?

Play as 9 classes, each with their own special playstyles, strengths, and weaknesses!
Collect 72 unique weapons among each class to help you turn the tide of battle!
Explore 8 different stages, each guarded by a tough-as-nails Robot Master and crawling with mechanical minions!
Team up with your friends online to take on Wily's robots together!

Cossack's Lab serves as a cozy base of operations in the harsh Siberian climate.

Great! When will it be released?
Excellent question. We have one stage fully completed so far, but we want to include another so the beta doesn't get too stale right away. This is a pretty massive undertaking filled with new assets and lots of time and manpower, so don't expect it to be out right away. That being said, we will let you know when you can take on Wily's forces!

Greetings again, and welcome to another Cossack Labs update.

We've signed two new members onto our development team. FTX and Ehibika will be great helps in making this mod the best it can be!

Now then, the first post was a little vague about what's actually going on in here. I can use this post to show things in a little bit more detail... starting with the stage I mentioned!

Wood Man has you spelunking caverns, climbing tree tops, and navigating rivers in his sprawling forest complex. Those who were a fan of Needle Man's and Toad Man's splitting paths design will enjoy this one, although the paths tend to go on a little longer and are a bit more distinct. A few familiar faces from Mega Man 2 crop up in his stage-- it seems Bubble Man might've loaned him some aquatic critters.

Once you defeat Wood Man in battle, you can access his Special Weapon...s! Dr. Cossack is a skilled weaponsmith, and he's created Special Weapons for all* of his Robot Masters to use in the fight against Wily.

(*Bright Man insisted on doing his own weapons, much to Cossack's dismay.)

(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/518123965177397269/588525389278871578/Screenshot_Doom_20190612_202943.png)
I wonder what this one does?

Each weapon contains an essence of the Robot Master's general theme or power, but they're all given a unique twist that corresponds to their class. Dive Man, for example, receives many militaristic weapons, befitting of his stint with the Russian Navy!

Development continues to trudge forward slowly, but steadily. As always, we'll let you know if any new updates come up!

Until next time!

This is Amazing....But I kinda wonder.....What if someone kinda made a Mod that fuses MMWSP, MM4SP, And MMXSP together would it be like MegaMan: Wily Wars (Basically 3 Games in one) or would Each Storyline take place after each other....

Title: Re: MM4SP - Cossack Crusaders (WIP)
Post by: TheDoc on June 16, 2019, 12:53:44 AM

After reading the front post and seeing how it mentions 8 stages, I wanted to go ahead and confirm: best-case scenario, is there any room for the possibility of Wily stages in this mod down the road?

Title: Re: MM4SP - Cossack Crusaders (WIP)
Post by: Magnet Dood on June 16, 2019, 04:21:14 PM

I can confirm that Wily stages are indeed planned for later down the road! It'll definitely take a while to get there, but have faith; we do have an implementation plan for them in place!

Title: Re: MM4SP - Cossack Crusaders (WIP)
Post by: TheDoc on June 17, 2019, 06:43:54 AM

Gotcha; just curious. Just the 8 stages is pretty ambitious on its own, so I truly wish you guys the best of luck!

Post by: Superjustinbros on June 18, 2019, 11:18:30 PM

As someone that has always wanted to see something tailored twoards non-competitive experiences, this is a welcome sight in my eyes. Especially with all the previous campaign mods crashing and burning- it'd be nice to see one reach completion.

Wood Man's stage also lookin hella fine.

Title: Re: MM4SP - Cossack Crusaders (WIP)
Post by: MegaVile on June 20, 2019, 04:01:56 AM

Nice! Return of MMW/SP in a new format!
Wood Man's stage is looking VERY nice!
Also, where can I find Dood on Discord?
I could help with coding, and beta testing, having experience with the former, and a tendency to be a bug magnet for the latter!

Title: Re: MM4SP - Cossack Crusaders (WIP)
Post by: AMinorFlood on June 23, 2019, 05:36:45 PM

Looks very cool, will things be like an adventure raid, because that's what i'm getting, I assume each class will have different stats with SkullMan being the most basic and having a BusterShot and a Guard(SkullBarrier), atleast thats my idea, looking forward to seeing more footage.

[Trust me Pharaoh Man is one of my favorite robot masters.]

What's up, folks-- err, greetings, esteemed visitors. Cossack Labs has another update for those hoping to catch a glimpse of our revolutionary Russian robots fighting alongside the esteemed Mega Man.

Well, I have news on that front! The answer is... there aren't quite any new stages to show. :confused: Welcome to that free-time development life! But we still have some content to show you in the form of our Special Weapons!

As mentioned before, each Robot Master will be receiving their own unique weapon from their android adversaries. Cossack will put his own unique spin on Wily's wacky armament in order to get his robots fighting fit! (For those wondering, Mega Man believes his original weapons from these robots will do just fine.)

We have three of them to show off from Wood Man today. Here are the weapons for Drill Man, Dive Man, and Bright Man!

(click to show/hide)

Drill Man: Root Rupture
A fast-paced, underground chain strike! Root Rupture sends towering wooden spikes along your path, tearing through enemies as a force of nature!

(click to show/hide)

Dive Man: Sprout Mine
A Bouncing Betty with a lot of boom! Sprout Mine scatters explosive saplings that pop up and kapow any enemy that gets near it!

(click to show/hide)

Bright Man: Bonsai Barrage
A cascading cannon that rains destruction! Harness the power of Wood Man's falling leaves times 8 and fluster your opponents with heavy foliage!

It seems like that's all we have for now. We ask for your patience, as usual! We should have a new map to show soon enough...

(click to show/hide)

Maybe this will clue people in for who we're focusing on next! :mrgreen:

Until next--

I have a question, is Galaxy Man going to be an actual stage, or is he a placeholder for a future MM10 robot master?

I mean, considering the pattern of having an RM from each game, starting at MM2 and ascending from there, it's probably an actual stage. I don't see why they'd skip over that for MM10.

My reasoning being is that the MM9 line of Robot Masters does technically count as being robots made by Doctor Light, but if it's an actual stage, it's okay either way.

We haven't been developing much at all, to be honest. Life got in the way for myself, and much of the team is occupied with V6's development. Until the release, I can't promise much of anything in terms of updates, but I can assure you that you will see a release from us, likely fairly soon after V6 is completed. We have (nearly) finished Napalm Man's and Yamato Man's stages and a fair amount of their enemies since we last updated here; the weapons are likely going to be a bigger challenge and will constitute most of the delays.

We did realize that Galaxy is a Light Robot Master, and it technically goes against the lore of things that we've presented here. I've floated the idea once about replacing him with an MM10 bot, but those conversations have been very light. This might be another thing we ask once V6 gets out and we can take a closer look at the assets; Galaxy is going to be in the second wave of robots, anyway, which will probably take a long time to come out.

Thanks for all of your patience! We're looking forward to bringing this out for you... eventually!

Happy new year from the Cossack Crew!  :mrgreen:

Thank you for your continued patience and support of our mod! It means a lot to all of us that you've expressed your excitement in playing. This post will hopefully answer some of the questions we've heard in the past and give you an in-depth update of where we stand, and when you might expect a first release.

Let's say hello to one of our new stages first!

(click to show/hide)

(https://i.imgur.com/D2psR3D.png)
Yamato Man was supposed to be the next teaser? Uhh, I guess we didn't get the memo...

Napalm Man's military base is set deep in the heart of a fierce jungle, and it's guarded by his crack team of bad bots ready to turn Cossack's creations into rusty Russian scrap metal.

(https://i.imgur.com/7zqyb9O.png)

(https://i.imgur.com/ELYnn18.png)

(https://i.imgur.com/Cqy8T82.png)
Even though he's a killer robot working for a mad scientist, you have to hand it to him—he takes some great postcard pictures.

Fight your way into his military complex, hidden deep in the caverns and sprawling out amongst the wilderness, to put a stop to his heavy weaponry!

(https://i.imgur.com/YsfkPv6.png)
Look out, Drill Man! That Bomb Thrown looks mighty angry!

But don't think he'll just let you waltz on in...

(https://i.imgur.com/NvsDYnd.png)
These guys are gonna drive Ring Man batty.

His twisting, tunneling paths will block you every step of the way.

(https://i.imgur.com/d2gicsh.png)
Wonder how he can fly that thing through a waterfall...

Open the way by pressing switches along your path, similar to MMSP stages of old, to reach Napalm Man!

(https://i.imgur.com/yZKDDVj.png)
Time to show you a pharaoh's power...

Duel him to put an end to his destructive deeds!

Q: Wow! So the second stage is done, right?
A: Almost! We're just getting into the final stages on this one, but there's still a few things we've got to work out. Some of the enemies still need touch-ups, and I haven't quite finished the mid-stage effect I'm hoping for here. But it's fully playable with a boss to fight at the end, so it's functional!

Q: What else needs to get done before I can play this?
A: Well, quite a bit. While Napalm's stage is nearly complete like Wood Man's, there's a couple of systems that we've run into problems with (namely the weapon get screen and the weapon-giving function). We still need a lot of work on the weapons themselves, too. I am gonna be pushing for a release this year with three playable stages to improve its shelf-life a bit, if all goes according to plan. We'll keep you updated on when that might be. Once that's through, we'll work on bugfixes for the first wave and then finish it off with the 4th stage of the first 4, then get to work on the next 4! After that, we'd be jumping into Wily stage territory. The ultimate goal is still to provide a full-game experience; we'll see if we're able to deliver on that and how we feel once we get everything finished.

Q: What DOES need doing, then?
A: We need to code super attacks for the bosses, finish 13 more weapons, fix some of Napalm's enemies (mainly Mizziles and Power Musclers), code a few more of Yamato's enemies and Yamato's boss fight, finalize his layout, update the hub so the weapon-giving and weapon-get screens work, finish the weapon display room, test all of it offline, and make sure none of it breaks online.

Simple!

In reality, if we find the time to really grind away at some of this stuff, we should be able to get through it relatively quickly. Time is just a limited resource for many of us, so please just stay patient with us! We're working hard when we can to get this out and we're thrilled to bring it to you.

It's really scary to think that this project is already a year and a half old... It's easily one of the most fun projects I've been able to be a part of, and I'm thrilled that you'll be able to enjoy it soon. Thanks for your continued interest! We'll see you next time!

So you've decided to replace Galaxy Man after all.

Now, please explain why you decided to replace Spark Man with Gemini Man. Did it have to do with Sheep Man's inclusion (since he and Spark Man are both electricity robots)?

Title: Re: MM4SP - Cossack Crusaders (WIP)
Post by: Magnet Dood on January 01, 2021, 07:14:37 PM

That is correct! Didn't want any weapon or stage overlap with them both being electricity themed; you'd be surprised how hard it is to come up with just eight around one theme, let alone 16.

Title: Re: MM4SP - Cossack Crusaders (WIP)
Post by: TheDoc on January 01, 2021, 10:14:14 PM

Shit, dawg, has it been a year and a half?

Really liking what I'm seeing! I totally get that time is a limited resource; if the content looks good, I really don't mind waiting. I've always liked the jungle and cave aspects of Napalm's stage more than the facility, so I'm glad there's a bit more of that accentuated here, and the precarious nature of the cave platforms looks especially fun.

In comparing this to the previous MMSP mods, I did want to ask (and maybe I've even asked this before) if you plan on putting any optional things to find in the various stages like the armor capsules or the MMW parts? I imagine that you'd rather just focus on laying the groundwork first and foremost, but is this something that you're already planning for the future, or is it something you don't want to implement for this mod?

Keep up the great work, guys. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

There will be some things to discover in stages, like the E-Tanks from the originals! Only thing I can recommend is to keep your eyes peeled if you're looking for secrets.

I mean, I am certainly not complaining!

As I've never had experienced an SP mod before, this promises to be an enlightening experience, if you get my drift


I do hold one question regarding the choice of using the Cossack Robots as protagonists. Was it done as an attempt to give the doc some more spotlight? Is Tundra Man in the game

Gee. Two years already, huh?

Welcome to the latest update for Cossack Crusaders! Thank you for keeping up your excitement for this long; it still makes me happy to hear that so many people are excited to play this mod. We're still doing our best to deliver a great experience for you!

Onto the update!

(https://i.imgur.com/FdRJ93x.png)
Oh, HERE's Yamato Man's photos... Wish we had those 6 months ago...

Yamato Man's impregnable fortress awaits Cossack's creations in the heart of Japan! This sprawling castle features the finest in traditional architecture, but don't let its old-fashioned appearance fool you- it's filled to the brim with Wily's hi-tech robotic soldiers.

Did ancient Japan have this many robots? Seems a little historically inaccurate...

The sections double over each other quite a bit! Be sure to keep looking ahead so you know where you're going. The path is straightforward...

(https://i.imgur.com/vPkB9Cf.png)
I think I found the guards.

...but it's long.

(https://i.imgur.com/TOKZnFa.png)
From floor to ceiling, Wily's got the best baddies around.

Yamato Man is equipped with some tough lackeys under his command.

(https://i.imgur.com/esjJkQ5.png)
Haven't you ever heard of personal space?!

Samurais are known for their unresting devotion to their masters. So if you want to take down Yamato Man...

(https://i.imgur.com/390OGiV.png)
The final approach!

...you'd better prepared to fight from sunup 'til sundown!

(https://i.imgur.com/TR7XBVI.png)
Bright Man's starting to regret his decisions.

Finish off Yamato Man in a duel to destruction. He'll be ancient history once you're done with him!

I hope this is sufficient to tide you over until we're ready to release! The plan is still to get something out this summer; three stages, three bosses, twenty-four weapons, and some fun secrets for you and your friends to find is the end goal at the moment!

What still needs to get done to get to that point? We haven't made much headway on the weapons, admittedly. And the enemy layout on Yamato is still very much in its early stages. Boss supers, map pickups, weapon delivery fixes, enemy tweaking, the weapon display room, the secret Tundra Man fight... there's a lot of odds and ends that still need to be finished.

Rest assured that we're still working hard to get through it all. We appreciate your support as always and can't wait for you to play.

Wow, I really like the aesthetic of the map. The stairs, the "palace-y" layout of the courtyard, the fountain/ponds, the fog effect off the sides, the sun setting as you approach the final fight, it's all great. Sections crossing over on each other also sounds like it would add to the feeling of getting lost in a large castle, which sounds great. Kudos to the map designer(s); can't wait to try it out and see all the odds and ends for ourselves. That said, take your time, guys; Rome wasn't built in a day. And you have 8 classes (that needed to be adapted to PvE, too), so I'm not surprised to hear the weapons are taking time.

Thanks again for your efforts. I know this is a labor of love, but a lot of us are just here to watch and appreciate, so.....I appreciate it. "Go get them, champ."
