MM8BDM: Mega Man 8 Expansion Public Thread

[Ukiyama]

YEAH WE COULD USE SOME RAIN! ACID RAIN! AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH! *riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiibbbbbbiiiiiitttt*. But on a serious note can't wait for whenever it comes  

[Ivory]

Well I don't plan for it being released on the 25th anniversary day. While it would be the most fitting, every other fan project is also probably going to be seeing a release around that time frame. So by pushing MM8BDM to the end of the week. More likely to attract attention instead of competing with the other games.

[CopShowGuy]

Street Fighter x Mega Man is coming out on Monday.

[DarkAura]

Should probably wait until after 12/21/12 before release...not for the lulz, I'm being serious about this.

Then the whole thread fell silent because I spoke my mind on it

Personally, I'd love for the release of v3a to be around the time that the Best-Ever servers return. That way, it will be incredibly easy for any new guys to come and play Megaman with the rest of us without having to sift through obscure topics to find obscure wads that are hosted on a single server.

[PressStart]

The hype is real! Very excited for the big release, totally agree it'll be better to wait till after the 17th (dunno which day after that would be best, tho!)

[JaxOf7]

Welp, I'm sure some of you want to know MM8's current progress.

So to fill you in. We're finished the last of development and we're doing final testing and fixing based on those tests. But the product seems to be very solid as there isn't too many issues cropping up. The Launcher being updated for v3a is the only major thing left to do. Mike is gone for a few days, but once he's back, he'll be getting the launcher done and we'll have a trailer for you guys and hopefully everything will be released next week.

Pfft you've missed deadlines before.
Consider me unsold until the trailer.

I dont know why this feels more official, like its the truth this time... but hey, hopefully they get it done on their release date.

[Colonel ServBot]

i dont really care what release date it comes out on. i just want to enjoy the game.
and the thing is. im surprised that capcom didnt actually see this and try publishing it into a REAL megaman game.

[Mr. X]

Well, even if they for some reason did want to do that, there'd be so many legal problems with the Zandronum team and the creators of Doom that there's no way it would ever happen.

[Colonel ServBot]

well, not use the doom 2 engine and just use something different. i mean. look at street fighter x megaman. its filled with shoddy megaman edits and they're backing it up. and why doesnt capcom just make a brand new engine?

[Ivory]

Making a brand spanking new game engine isn't really something you can do in a week.

[Laggy Blazko]

1.- There are very few sprite-based 3D engines.
2.- Cutman is good at modding in Zdoom/Skulltag/Zandrowhatever
3.- Zandronum has a master server =P.

[Colonel ServBot]

Making a brand spanking new game engine isn't really something you can do in a week.

well, i know that. but with capcom, heres what they can do:
make the game engine.
give credit to those who originally made the game *CougheveryoneCough*
give credit to those who made the new version.
make the game so its MM1-MM6
have MM7/8/Etc. DLC
put the game out on XBLA
then later on create a compilation disc called MegaMan Live, which it contains mm9/10/8BDM

[Laggy Blazko]

But they'd probably make commercial content.
