MegaPhilX's fan made Mega Man game

[ChaosVortex]

PLEASE READ

The following fan made video game project is made by a user known as MegaPhilX. The game was previously known as "Mega Man 10", until Nintendo Power revealed Capcom is making their own official Mega Man 10 on December 9th, 2009. Please be aware that everything in this topic is NOT the official game, as it's all fan made BASED off of Capcom's Mega Man titles. For information on the official Mega Man 10, please click here.

OMG GUYS MEGA MAN 10 IS COMING!

... not really. It's fan made.

Still, the intro looked pretty darn good, but good LORD those bosses and sprites look ugly. I don't like the concepts with Glue, Nail, Rainbow, and Yo-Yo.

And the Stage Select screen is meh. That MegaMan head is outdated, it needs to MM6+ one, and those windows are just "okay".

But Tank Man's stage looks pretty interesting. New enemy design and stage concept, it's not bland like other fan crap I've seen.

But yeah, those bosses need work...

I'm REALLY likin' that weapon get screen though!

Discuss about this and anything related.

(I'm unaware what type of game this is however. If it's a "you-know-what", expect this thread to be either deleted or locked).

[NovaMan XP]

Gee, thanks Chaos. I thought Mega Man 10 was finally announced.

MEH. Now I'm gonna watch the video with anger.

[Fatso]

It's not even a fangame, just an animation.

[preventerWIND]

Looks decent.

I'm REALLY likin' that weapon get screen though!

Ugh. No.

[Fatso]

Forgot to mention that I don't like the music at all, with the exception of the main stage theme, which was okay (though by no means great)

[NovaMan XP]

I'm REALLY likin' that weapon get screen though!

Ugh. No.

Indeed.

OMG MEGA FOOT

[ChaosVortex]

I liked it.

But yeah, the music isn't good. The guy says his version of the stage select theme is better than Mega Man 9's.

Yeah, I know.

I must've been real tired last night because the music seems worse to me now. It's just random noise. I can only stand the stage theme....

[NovaMan XP]

It reminds me of Mega Man 2 GB, which is bad.

[ASR]

YO-YO-MA(n)!

[ChaosVortex]

So, anyone wanting to try out this game?

[NovaMan XP]

It's not even a fangame, just an animation.

[Fatso]

To be fair, in the video description it says that the animator is looking to make it an actual game in some game-maker program, but that's so far off in the distance that I won't even bother.

[ChaosVortex]

Exactly, so quiet Nova.

I'm just expecting it to be mediocre by the looks of it. There is some decent stage design it seems, but it still just... reeks a little.

[Mikero]

I don't know if I would call someone taking ripped sprites, making bad custom sprites, and making bad sprite drawings, and then dumping them all into an image program and then not even really doing it that well an animator, but OK.

My only real problems with that are;

A) The drawings from the story, like Wily and Light standing there, and stuff like "You Got bla bla" image are drawn pretty damn poorly.
B) The RM's are really poorly designed. Or at least Tank Man is, which leads me to believe the rest are. The levels don't really seem that great either but I don't care so much.

But I know the effort that went into so that much is cool.

[ChaosVortex]

Yeah, I mean, the stage design is really nothing with Tank Man's stage, but graphically those two enemies and the background itself is nice. Rainbow Man's stage has a better stage design, but the whole stage just goes in one direction: down (figuratively too if you consider the graphics and theme).

Only large sprite I like is the "You Got ____" sprite. Everything else like you said looks poorly drawn.

He seems to be going in the right direction with concepts, but I'd say he's stopping short. If it were me, I'd go back to the drawing board and choose better robot masters, and make better sprites. The storyline is good so far, keeps the classic storyline feel, while presenting new to the table: Wily gets kidnapped.

Music is bad, it lacks the beat and feel the past games have, and overall is just random noise. Doesn't come close to what Mega Man 9 had. However, I believe he's got something going on with the Stage Select theme, but it's not quite there.

And for anyone who missed it in the video description, these are the bosses (Except for some reason, Hammer Man is Yoku Man):

[Mikero]

The "You Got ____" sprite REALLY bothers me. The proportion is all off in a way that absolutely reeks of that thing they do in anime where they fish eye the background and stretch the character all out. I hate when they do that.

[ChaosVortex]

Well, my first time seeing it, I thought it looked nice. Seeing it a second time, I said to myself "Maybe that foot should be going in the other direction, instead of Mega Man doing a split right in your face..."

And unlike the other large sprites, it looks pretty clean and not like a 4-year old drew it (an exaggeration but still).

[KPL]

I've got to say, only looking at this stuff right now, he is trying. But yea, the sprites of the bosses are yuck. A few are pretty good: Comet Woman isn't very bad. He just had a false start: Get better robot masters, and the sprites will turn out better.

The music needs to be less complex: I feel he's trying too hard getting all this stuff in that doesn't need to be in there. Although I have to admit: the music to Nail Man is pretty decent.

[Mikero]

Looking at this stuff again, I really don't like the drawings of the RM's. They're clean and enough like MM and all, but almost  every one of them is completely off balance and GlueMan and RainbowMan are doofs.

Excuse me, I'm not a fan of "good enough" work.

[NovaMan XP]

I can't remember all of the Robot Masters, but ALL of them looked like jokes from what I remember. Yo-Yo Man? Nail Man? Hammer Man? Honestly now...

Stage Select gives me a headache.

[KPL]

Indeed. I mean, it's got love in there, you can tell. But aww my ears hurt! I kinda like some other song of some other Megaman fan made stuff. Don't mind what you see, but listen and you'll appreciate. I think.

[ChaosVortex]

I think what I don't like about these fan games is that they're naming them "Mega Man 10, Mega Man 11, Mega Man 12, etc."

Cause then Capcom will make the REAL game and then you'll just look like a major doofus because of your mediocre work.

[NovaMan XP]

Exactly what I was thinking.

You're not cool by going "hay guys im making megaman 10 isnt that sweet?!". You just get laughed at.

... and somehow people think this guys crappy work is superb. "It looks like a real Mega Man game". Uuuuugh.

[KPL]

I'm guessing they are used to playing Battle Network and StarForce, never having the pleasure of renting up Megaman 2 at 6 years old. The only thing that REALLY looks like megaman, is the blue bomber himself.

[Mikero]

Oh shut up, guys. It has nothing to do with StarForce or BN or anything. All it has to do with is that people simply don't leave negative comments on DevART and people who don't frequent MegaMan forums are pretty much incapable of realizing that this isn't up to par with the professionally made games.

Don't expect them to breathe this #####, they really don't actually KNOW any better.

Yeah. It's assuming and it insists in itself.

[TheRedPriest]

... I changed the thread name because I HATE ##### like that.

"LOL MEGAMAN 10 NOT REALLY IT'S FAN MADE LOL"

I can't believe that thing is still going.

[NovaMan XP]

THANK YOU.

Seriously, the first time I went to this thread I was happy, then I was let down.

[ChaosVortex]

That was an intended cruel joke, sorry.

[Majikn]

It's okay, but now everything you say is forever discredited.

[ChaosVortex]

No... )=

I'm just a prankster, and a trickster, but not a kingtrickster because that's disgusting.

[Mikero]

I'm an artist, a prankster, jokes on everybody!
What's with Andy? Wha-wha-what's with Andy?

[Lunchebox]

... I forgot that show existed.

[preventerWIND]

Ditto, and was enjoying it so far.

[ASR]

Never heard of it. Wiki'd it, though.

[Mikero]

I always watched the theme song then changed the channel.

[ChaosVortex]

This topic name needs changing, because due to the Mega Man 10 announcement last Wednesday, MegaPhilX got swarmed with comments about how his videos are misleading. He put annotations on all of them that night, blocking out the "10" and promised they would be changed, and the videos said (Working Title) next to them.

Currently, he's renamed his game project to "Mega Man ??"

[NovaMan XP]

Gonna love it if he changes it to Mega Man 11.

[Mikero]

You know I have to say who cares if CoA took a bit of this guy's work for their promo stuff. Plagiarism is never cool but it was rather arrogant to call his project MegaMan 10 in the first place I never really thought it was that great.

I don't know if I would call someone taking ripped sprites, making bad custom sprites, and making bad sprite drawings, and then dumping them all into an image program and then not even really doing it that well an animator, but OK.

I have to go back and say that I do know I wouldn't call them an animator.

[ChaosVortex]

I'm not hyped about it or anything either, but I am interested in it. Also, apparently, he says he never intended to keep the game named Mega Man 10. It was just a placeholder until he found a better name.

The thing with CoA though is just hilarious if anything.

I personally believe he needs to go back to the drawing board with about half of his Robot Masters he has, and although he shows signs of improvement in his music development, it's still random noise.

[Mikero]

It's a pretty good fangame in a world of pretty awful fangames, but yeah I agree with you but will probably never bother to try it even if it gets finished.

[ChaosVortex]

Ditto.
