Projects & Creative / Re: [MINI EXPANSION] Mega Man 8-bit Halloween!

But without the tail how could we tell it's Splash Woman? D:

Also I liked the witch one too

Also also if I go ahead and make the Protoman Ghost skin would that be acceptable for the expansion? I was trying to think of other things to make it interesting, but the only idea I've had so far is to put a Halloween-y decal on his shield, and I don't know if there's space for that.

Everyone else's work has looked super cool! Definitely looking forward to playing this.

Huzzah! I'm pretty stoked

Great work to everyone involved! I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that we all really appreciate the effort you're putting into making sure this is a quality expansion!

Dunno if I'll have time to finish it but AAAA can I make Musashi's Ghost of Protoman skin a reality? It just looks so silly it's amazing!

Umm, while it's still moderately topical, I noticed another small error (of a different kind) on Gutsman's stage.

Over here

There's a stripe of the wall texture on the floor behind the fence.

I dunno if this has already been noticed/fixed, though.

Spoink!

Though if people decide not to use the Skulltag that comes with it, someone might need to make a re-packaged download.
This way may just be the simplest.

Looks good so far! The layout in the first screenshot looks really cool, and the textures are awesome. The area in the second screenshot does seem a little big, but it's hard to tell for sure without any actors in it. Keep up the good work-- looks promising!

Also, I think Kapus made a sky texture at some point in the past, but I don't remember if it was the right kind of cloud or not. I did one for Ice Cream Island, too, but I think that was the fuzzy clouds from that stage rather than the round ones Butter Building has.

I think Kirby's botchat is probably okay, especially since Mega Man has one in vanilla MM8BDM. If it's too annoying, we could probably just turn the frequency down or something.

Ummmmm, I'll also probly post some WIP screenshots from Ice Cream Islands next time I get the chance. Orange Ocean's coming along okay, but I'm having a little trouble thinking of a good layout outside "harbor with ships".

EDIT:
Here they are! I think these are at least a little outdated, but I did put together some of the bots that were done at the time to show them off too, so that's kinda cool. DarkAura's weapon prototypes are in there too, in case people were wondering about those.

So some cool progress in progress. Hopefully sometime, I can get together some time to finish more stuff!

Mega Man Discussion / Re: Rockman Xover

« on: September 26, 2012, 01:16:35 AM »

To be honest, I haven't really been too worried about the Autoplay feature. Giving the developers a little credit, the only reason a game like this would have things like forced running, autoplay, or turn-based boss battles would be because it isn't really about platforming or challenging gameplay so much to begin with. I'm imagining that it's more about item-collecting and stat growth over the course of several missions, where each individual one isn't really meant to be all that interesting... sort of like how you can sit there and run the elevator up and down in Tiny Tower, but that would be incredibly boring if that were the entire game. Long-term stuff is a lot harder to show in a playable demo.

Also, I thought that this was an interesting piece of context.

I guess the Japanese gaming industry as a whole is leaning toward smaller mobile games, figuring that they'll get a higher profit/cost differential in the long run.

I'd love a new traditional Mega Man game as much as the next guy, but I just think people are giving Xover a bit too hard a time. From what Capcom's been saying, it sounds like they do have things planned for mid-2013 that just aren't ready yet.

Cutstuff Discussion and Feedback / [Site Suggestion] Download Button

« on: September 23, 2012, 02:47:44 PM »

I went to go redownload MM8BDM the other day, and I actually had a little bit of trouble finding the download link for version 2c. So I was thinking-- do you think a large-ish "Download" button should be added to the main MM8BDM page, to make it easier to find for people who aren't in the know? It could just redirect to the links at the bottom of the "About MM8BDM" page, which are already there.

I was thinking that the download being hard to find might also be the reason people end up with old versions of the game, too, so this might help to solve that issue.
