Hello guys! This is actually my first post here..so..good to have registered on this fine forum! :sigmahappy:

INTRODUCTION

Anyways, now I'm sure most of you on here play, have played, or have heard of the Mugen engine. Most videos that you've probably seen online of Mugen in action are probably usually just some random characters thrown together. I see Mugenstation 360 posted a thread showing a Mugen game with random PSX Mega Man 8/Mega Man X4-6 content that he has found. That can be fun, but isn't quite what I'm doing.

Like a few people in the community,I am making a Mugen "Fullgame" which basically means that it will be my work with a possible occasional lending hand from others as opposed to just a compilation of random works. I am creating each character on my own, all with the intention of having a set gameplay style (3 buttons, no blocking, no supers, just standard moves which include direct attacks from the games or slightly edited attacks, etc.)

I am also using the original ratio of the SNES to retain the feel and be able to have the stages translate perfectly. :)

BULLET POINTS

-Characters, stages, etc shall be limited to content from Mega Man X1-3, Mega Man 7, and Mega Man : The Wily Wars. Also, sprite edited content in X-series style.

-The character goal is to include as many Maverick bosses as possible, as well as X and Zero, X-Hunters, Bit & Byte, Dr.Doppler, Vile, and Sigma. Anything else will be extra.

-The stage goal is to have at least one stage representing each Maverick boss and each Sigma stage from the 3 games. Also the occasional sprite edited stage. (EX: Concrete Man remade in 16-bit)

-Each match is one round.

-No blocking or supermoves.

-Mugen uses 6 buttons. This game shall utilize 3.

-Certain characters will have stage-based gimmicks. For example, Sting Chameleon will be able to perform certain moves when his fence is behind him. (Think Vega from SF2) The fence is only available in small boss stages. Bubble Crab performs better in under-water stages.

-I have gotten permission from various chiptune artists that have made various remixes and covers using the Mega Man X SNES soundfonts.

-You can check my youtube for video updates. http://www.youtube.c...ser/MiDSinister

I agree! This is a unique MUGEN project that I can't wait to play. =)

Lots of MMX fangames/projects coming out...I like, I like! :xbrighteyes:

I like it. I think you should alter the physics of each of the game. Perhaps take off the bouncing the characters do when the get hit? It doesn't fit for these guys IMO. Perhaps replace it with momentary stun to keep gameplay untouched or something.

MDI: "I am also using the original ratio of the SNES to retain the feel and be able to have the stages translate perfectly. :)"

I eternally applaud you for that move,; that is my biggest beef with MMX7, MMX8, and MHX...the character proportions are too small which makes the action seem less intense, or "in your face" as it were.

I agree with Stryker, if you were to listen to his suggestion it would probably make the gameplay look alot more fluid. That's just my opinion though.

Good work so far! :awesomezero:

Really? I'm comparing screenshots from Maverick Hunter X, Mega Man X (SNES), and Mega Man X8 right now. I'm not seeing much of a difference between the proportions in Mega Man X and X8, and Maverick Hunter X makes the character appear even bigger on the screen than in the original game. X7 varies quite a bit, but the 2D sections don't seem that different, either.

SNES screen ratio certainly fits for a 16-bit game, I agree there. But I'm just not seeing too small proportions in the games you mentioned...

Yep I'd definitely like to remove the "bouncy effect" at some point. Shouldn't be too hard. I'll also implement the exploding KO once I figure out the best way to do so. :D

-UPDATE-

Thankfully I removed the bouncing effect. It was easier to do then I thought. However I spent a while implementing an explosion effect to each character andddd here it is!

I just made a new stage. It is my attempt at creating the "Conflict" aka Axl's intro stage from Mega Man X7 in 16-bits!

Someone online actually made a remix of the very song that plays in that area using X3 instruments, so I'm hoping to get his permission to use the track. :)

Hah, awesomeness! At this point, I like it either way, but I think it would be a real home-hitter if they actually paused--regardless of position--and exploded on the spot like in the old games. I also like the speed at which the explode; no need to sit there and wait for cinematics lol.

Will you be implimenting a story? If so, how far will you go? Slideshow, animation?

Story-stuff I'll figure out later on, but I'll probably just do the classic X style of having sprites standing in front of backgrounds with a thick black window surrounding them while text scrolls and such. I just need a good font though. Anything that would look like it fits right in..

Wow, this is really coming along. =)

How many characters can we expect by the projects end? Or will you always be adding new characters? Since this a fighting game and all, will we see particular fighters such as Boomer Kuwanger, Magna Centipede, Flame Stag, Neon Tiger etc etc?

MDI, you have made MUGEN cool again, (I didn't think much of MUGEN until now.) Just my opinion.

I see Gravity Beetle is filling in for Slash Beast with that attack...yes, imagine it

I guess my goal would to be to put in all the Maverick bosses. The only thing causing any type of delay is that I am still learning new things about Mugen every day, and some bosses are more complex then others in their attacks.

Just a heads up, currently finished Bubble Crab..and now I am going to attempt to make every single Mega Man X stage, possibly even variations of them! (Flame Mammoth, Lava and Ice versions for example).

But yeah, I'll upload a video of Bubble Crab later. I made him pretty interesting! If you play as him in any underwater stage, he will be more powerful and his moves will be slightly altered. I plan to do this with other underwater Mavericks in the future as well! :sigmasmile:

I was also thinking that it would be funny if the fire-themed Mavericks just spontaneously combusted in the underwater stages. :dynamolaugh:

Hmmm..am I that evil?

UPDATE

Bubble Crab finished.

Are you able to put in stage effects? like raising/lowering the water level of the water stage in case Bubble Crab becomes too weak/cheap? Or perhaps add a speed debuff in Sting chameleon's level, since it's comprised of a muddy ground?

If so, that'd definately take you a step above typical mugen games, dude. This is awesome enough as it is though.
