I know there are a couple of similar topics, but the idea it's sharing Mega Man (Classic, X, Zero, Legends, ZX, EXE, etc) fan games already released. Almost on all the forums and blogs Mega Man/Rockman fans complain about fans doing better games than XOver, but we don't usually share these games. What about sharing our favourite (or own) Doujin titles?


I'll start with this game:

Megaman Project Zero



Platform: Windows PC (>= WinXP)
Genre: Action/Platform
Universe: Classic Mega Man
Created by: Zigma00
Language: English

Personal Review: This game it's pretty amazing. Maybe it's non-canon as hell, but it's one of the best Mega Man fanmade games I ever played. Give it a try.

First of all, I haven't talked with Ermac210 and the rest of the gang about this yet, but since I do the more ~~hardcore~~ programming part, I think this decision will affect more to me. Well...

I'll start saying that I'll be a little less busy in a couple of weeks, and that thanks to University and it's academical rape abuse, my programming-under-pressure skills increased exponentially. So... A NEW SEASON OF WORKING IN THIS PROJECT WILL START SOON!

Before that, we have to take a decision, a hard decision... what must we do now? The engine was created in a privative environment, so we are not able to all the things we would like, for example, compiling it for Windows, Mac and Linux, or manage the CPU/RAM consume (now the game consume more CPU than what I would like for a 16-bit game).

I think the better answer it's what the future players of the game will say. I mean... I'm not going to lie to you, Ermac will end his university classes and probably get more tons of work around the year, and without him, this will be less funny for me. On the other side, I promised that if ever, ever, EVER we thought about quit, we would give any of our source material to a new team, so the game itself (I guess) it's out of danger. And with this I'm not saying that the games that redesign their engines are dead, I'm just saying that it could happen.

So, plain and simple: do you think it's better to start from almost scratch and don't use the original engine, or we must go on with our windows only video game, with some bugs and overweighted. Both options seem nice for me and fun for me.
Also, if you choose the later, probably we will work more with Sigma and other "more-game-y" stuff.

Let the Poll beings.

PS: OH, NO! THE CHILEAN ENGLISH AGAIN

PS2: Your decision it's not necessarily the last.

DISCLAIMER
===========

This fan fiction pretends to entertain the community and develop some aspects from the classic timeline of Mega Man series. I'm from Chile and english is not my first language, so don't be jerks about that, just tell me where I commited a mistake and I'll fix it. The words used in this fanfic could be considered offensive for people of some ages (it's completely safe for work, but possibly I'll write swearing sometimes when needed).

Instructions

Play the songs when a youtube box appear. Stop it and play the next when you find another (or finish the song before procceding, you decide). The music pretends to enhance the reading, but if you don't like it, you can just read. This work is under construction, but for now I have this.

Sit back and enjoy

THE DIARY




Day 38

Some months ago I found this fragment of meteorite, but just now I have been able to study it. I still don't understand how this source works, but I'm pretty sure it is self-conscious in some kind of way. This is not normal at all, supposedly energy cannot be created, but in some way... this substance replicates itself... I still don't understand....

Day 42

Impossible, this is just impossible, it manifest itself as electromagnetic radiation, but its behavior... I don't know... it absorbs the essence from intelligent beings and turns it into... I just don't know, maybe it is an intelligent virus after all...

Day 50

Fifty days since I started the new energy source project... and nothing. I copied all the data given by the experiments on my computer, but I cannot copy the source itself without corrupting all my Operative System. It's a shame, I actually believed that I could control this source and manipulate it, but its alien technology surpass anything created by humankind. It's wireless but it isn't microwave, it's electromagnetic wave but is heavy as gas... in some way... I feel it is consuming me, but I'm stronger, the more it is attached to me, the more I understand its complex structure...

Day 50 (almost midnight)

I don't understand how this energy works, but I'm pretty sure I'll do in short time. It's time to prepare its vessel. After the first experiments I know that this source can destroy or increase the power of the host. I must be careful, I'm playing with powers beyond human's control, but without risks there is no progress. Tomorrow I'll start the building phase of my second project.



Day 57

My finest machine. The ultimate host. I'm pretty excited, all the engines are pretty functional with just one week of work. Practice makes perfect, I guess. This is wonderful, all my old blueprints are just magnificent. The only problem is the energy cell. Solar and nuclear energy are not enough, I must improve my last invention with my new studies over the alien source. I must be prepared, just one mistake and whole world will be doomed. The LHC experiments were completely safety compared to this. But I must go on, surrender is not an option. I don't care about humanity at all, they just treated me like rubbish... but the hard times will end, justice will prevail, and I'll receive what I deserve.

Day 64

Damn! I don't have all the resources that I need for finishing my project... not now... I was finishing the second phase... Goddammit! I know this journal is supposed to cover just the important information, but I can't believe this! I have no time to earn money legally –and actually I can't. I need to steal some technology to finish this soon. This is awful, I live like a rat... I must be prepared for the assault. I know I'm alone, specially since what I told him... but SCREW HIM! I don't need him! All what I need is to finish my project soon as possible, the rest doesn't matter...

Day 66

Two days to recreate my old schemes. I'm an expert without doubt. Today is the true first day of my project. After two months working in the shadows, finally I'll start to face my future. Probably my enemies will crush me this time, I can feel it, but I need his technology. The plan is simple: steal more than what you need – if you are lucky, you will preserve what you wanted.
