MM8BDM: Mega Man 8 Expansion Public Thread

[Ivory]

Lego's weapons are the base of the weapons in the official expansion, but everything has been modified from those versions.

[fizzyman]

As of now, we have nothing planned. Tengu's stage will have both music. At the start of the match it will have a 50% switching to the Saturn version

So yer not going to use a redone 8-bit version of the themes? Its going to be the actual songs on MM8?

[Mr. X]

No, they will be 8-bit songs.

[MusashiAA]

fizzy, there's a Rockman 8 FC fangame that has already done all the 8-bit conversion for us. It's an easy guess on what assets this expansion will use.

So there will be NES-styled MM8 songs playing on the maps. And they are delicious, by the way.

[Ivory]

Actually no. We aren't using the FC versions of the songs.

[Sora]

Ow this looks so amazing.

Best of luck to everyone working on this!

[MusashiAA]

Actually no. We aren't using the FC versions of the songs.

You sir, have no taste whatsover

Good day

...or maybe I'm too used to 8FC's music. Eh, the new composer's an easy guess as well.

[Ivory]

Baiisilisk is composing all the tracks in the expansion.

[MusashiAA]

My goodness, I am in shock, this is my shock face

Yeah I figured that, but the way he said he was using the Saturn version made me think it was going to be that version and not an 8-bit version of the theme.

I know it won't happen, but it would becool if there was a chart or something so we know what's done already.

inb4 yes

[MusashiAA]

Well, to be honest I never really digged Baii's instrumentation.

I'm gonna guess he already did all the songs a while ago and you guys just asked him for the full compilation.

[Mr. Sean Nelson]

Are there going to be hidden Woodman and Cutman tracks?

[Ivory]

No, he did a few of the songs beforehand, but he agreed to compose the rest for us.

I know it won't happen, but it would becool if there was a chart or something so we know what's done already.

I'll be posting more specific details on the expansion a few weeks. Patience.  

Are there going to be hidden Woodman and Cutman tracks?

Probably not. The real songs are in the game anyways.

[Gumballtoid]

i swear, if the aquaman bot doesn't say "i'm aquaman, but you can call me handsome guy!" for an intro line, someone is gonna have their head bitten off by a 49-headed billy goat

but someone else composing the new songs answers my questions about the MM7 expansion

and since MM7 and MM8 require(d) much editing and ripping from FC remakes, MM9 and MM10 will be all the easier
