Megaman X: Eclipse is a response to the decline in gaming, particularly to the decline in the Megaman X series. It is meant to be the 4th installment for the SNES that many of us wanted after Megaman X3. Its going to have 8 bosses, its going to be 16-bit. Its going to be everything you would expect from a 4th Megaman X game on the SNES. We plan for Megaman X: Eclipse to be released for Windows, Windows 8, Mac, Android, HTML5, OUYA and we are looking at the possibility of Steam as well. (If it's on Steam, it's on Steambox)

Here's a picture of it running on my Xperia PLAY

Spoiler

We spend a lot of time testing our game to make sure it stays true to the SNES series. We need every smallest detail to be perfect so that we keep it from feeling like some glitchy fan game. Of course we're doing our best to be as innovative as we can so that we can bring a whole new experience to Megaman X.

For now, only 1 of our 8 bosses has been revealed. His name is Scorch Raptor, and if you click the spoiler below you can see our art design of him. Credit goes to justicefrog of deviantart.com

Here's his stance sprite (We need somebody to animate him)

There's also some videos of gameplay and some music.

We'll be doing our detailed updates on our blog, http://mmxeclipse.blogspot.com , so be sure to follow us!

We also need some help in the spriting area. If you guys have any enemies, tilsets, minibosses or anything that you are willing to contribue, please email us at megamanprojecteclipse@gmail.com and we will get in touch with you! Our biggest need is a spriter for our bosses.

Looks great so far. I would probably play it when it is fully complete. Nice work. I'm too lazy to even start.

Sounds awesome. The camera looked kinda shaky in the videos, though.

Yeah the camera and its view transitioning aren't that great, it also has to do with the level design. We're workin on it :P

Thanks for the offer but we currently have our own ideas for most of the bosses.

if you want any armor i have a unused one. *search on photobucket*

is old but, if you like it you can use it.
oh really, the abilities.

T head: weapons need less ammo, jump forcefield (like icarus armor in megaman x8)
T arms: taurus buster (I never think about it)
T body: 30% less damage, taurus giga attack (same has the buster, i never think about it).
T legs: faster walk, faster on stairs, taurus rush (when you hold jump)

We appreciate the thought, but we already have some armor designs.

The past little while we've been experimenting with the gameplay, fixing bugs, adding new features, etc. and we never really had the time to get tilesets and make new levels and enemies. We finally got around to getting a tileset and came up with a few new enemies, the pictures are attached to this post since they were rather huge if I used the "IMG" tag.

The project is not dead, and never was. We're still looking for any pixel artists that wish to help. I'm doing all the enemies mostly by myself at the moment.

Oh, and we're more likely to update our blog than we are here.

The song sounds really good. I really dig the verse and overall main theme. In my opinion, I have to admit I feel it would sound even better if the bassline were more than just a mere drone on F. Other than that I think this thing is pretty sweeeet.

P.S. Where did you get those MMX midi soundfonts??

Thanks! I think it sounds fine to me but we do appreciate the feedback. We may tweak it in the future, we may not. As for the soundfonts, we got them ourselves.

Wow! This, along with Playable Zero in X1, are amongst the best fan projects I've came across lately. I'll make sure to check out the blog often, because the prospect of a NEW 16 bit X game sounds fantastic.

This sounds/looks very interesting...*subscribes to topic*

It's encouraging to hear this kind of feedback, thank you!

Unfortunately, there is some bad news. I had promised to upload a video of a demo level, but my computer untimely stopped working and refuses to boot (I suspect the power supply is toast). No worries for lost data, we constantly make back ups of our files. We just won't be able to record the video till I get a new computer, which hopefully won't be too long.
