Title: Canon vs. Fanmade
Post by: Hallan Parva on October 19, 2010, 08:24:28 PM
I was going to get into the editing scene for Deathmatch. You know, we can never have too many CTF maps, am I right?  :mrgreen:

The thing is, I was going to make stages based on my Mega Man fangame, and I was going to ask for some help with coding their weapons.

HOWEVER
A lot of you don't seem to think that material that is not canon can be accepted. Hell, many of you hade fanmade SKINS that aren't canon. So why am I going to crank out maps if they aren't going to be used?

For grins, the list of weapons is below. I made descriptions based on how I think they would work in 3D.

Go for it man. Even if they won't appear in the official build, people will eat up new maps like no tomorrow no matter what they're based on.  :cool:

Cool idea. I might be able to code some weapons later!

Wow, greenlighted from Mike and Korby! I feel a bit better about this idea now. :mrgreen:

The stages are going to be loosely based on the plans I had for my fangame. For instance, Geyser Man's stage will mainly be in a sprawling pump works maze, and the floor of Tectonic Man's stage will slowly shift from side to side. Oh, and if the weapons can be successfully coded into Deathmatch, expect to use Tackle Shell to get to some pretty sweet things in Hermit Man's stage.
Maybe stuff like Sakugarne and Flash Stopper, WE NEED MORE FLASH STOPPER

Oh, and I'm going to be hiding Yashichis too. :p

If you manage to uphold these claims expect a great reception!

NON-CANON STAGES?  How dare you?  Get off of my internet!

But seriously, go for it.

Nice... I like more stages and more weapons!
Though i probably would play regular more.

Does this even matter? Don't let people dictate your actions. If you want to make stages, skins, weapons out of your robot masters, go for it.

Indeed. If I listened to what forums thought about what I should or should be making, I would have barely made anything for Skulltag

Man, I already have my own 8 robot masters made with sprites and everything, and still, I don't think this is a good idea, maybe for your own game, but custom robot masters?

I say go for it as long as you feel you can handle the work involved. I know of many times I tried to go through with a project, only to get bored of it and toss it aside.

As for my situation, Tails isn't canon to Mega Man, yet I'm going to use the skin Blues made of him (even though Tails is Gutsman size, lol).

I might play this.  It's interesting to see all the ideas people can come up with.
