Hi everybody!
I am HKLurch18, the lead designer of the MM-fangame project "MegaMan 72", started by the community of the "72dpiarmy", who you may know from their wildly popular homebrew game "Super Mario War" .
To give you a short introduction about myself, I am 19 years old and live in Germany. The reason why I got into spriting was my contribution on the "Halloween"-themed mod of Super Mario War v. 1.7 and v. 1.8.
After I finished both of these, I proposed a classic MM fangame project to the community of 72dpiarmy, which immediately got accepted by the people who worked together with me on the halloween mod as well as by other people :)
Now, almost one year after it's birth, I wanted to bring MM72 to RPM.
I hope you enjoy our project, Guys! :D

I was keeping my eye on this and now it is on RPM!

Same here! 8)
To be honest, it is a rather nice project.
-
I´ll keep watching this
-
Thank you in advance, I am glad you all enjoy our project! 8)
-
I too will be keeping an eye on this, it looks really nice.
-
I like how Kevvviiinnn's music fits so well with the Stage Select screen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUPLONvTbXU), specially Blues and Forte's screen. ^^
The game looks good. I might borrow that Screenshot up there for the RPM webpage later. :3
-
Thank you for the kind response! :)
The songs by Kevvviiinnn in my youtube videos will all be replaced by tracks of our very own composer, MCJimmy =)
We want to keep this as original as possible! 8)
-
Wow i cant believe you Joined...Surprisingly i'm Shocked.
-
About time your project made it here!
I've been following it for quite some time now, and it's great to see that you've finally decided to talk about this in the forum. I'll be sure to look here on a regular basis!
-
@ Blaze: Oh, I hope this is not something negative, then ^_^
Thanks alot, MexicanSunflower! I watched your project on youtube as well, I'll make sure to check yours, too! :D
BTW, I just finished a preview of an enemy set to appear in Ooze Man's sewer stage
(http://i48.tinypic.com/2a9p82s.gif)
He needs some Pixel-fixes and of course a shooting pose, but so far I really like this little guy :D

Looks pretty good other than that pixel issue you mentioned. Does this guy slide around the floor or something? He seems really cool. owob
-
he slides on floors, ceilings and walls ;) He is also able to shoot bullets/sludge out of his shaft :)
-
Interesting concept, seems hard to dodge as well o-O
-
What are you using GM7 Or MMF2?
-
The Game is coded in GM7 ^_^
Our coder "BigJM" does a splendid job. He sent me a trial version the first time he tackled coding, and aside from a few issues, it worked quite smoothly. 8)
-
Even though MMF2 is far better than GM7, if you have a good coder working beside you (which it seems like you do) you should be fine. Can't wait!
-
GM is hard to use without having bugs. I look forward to day I can play it >w<

GM7....not bad but not my Favorite Engine Maker....MMF2 was a Life Saver...
But yeah,any who i like Ooze Man's Enemy...A TOILET PLUNGER *laughs Bloody Murder*
-
Glad you like the idea =)
btw, I thought I might post the Sprites for the robot masters here, so you do not have to look through my devart account or youtube channel for them 8)

from left to right: Saw Man, Plasma man, Gamble Man, Ooze Man, Buzz Man, Inject man, Distort man and Mirror Man.

About Distort Man...shoudn't it be Morph Man? since he Morphs....anyway,My Fangame's Diamond Man is Similar to Mirror Man (Not Apperance),But Plasma Man Should be Named Split Man Because of his Splitting Body...,Inject Man & Plasma Man are my Faves.
-
Nah, Distort man just suits him better because his stage will include a lot of distortion ^_^
And TBH I think Distort man just sounds awesome 8)
As for Plasma man, His name is cool as well, and yeah, he might split into two parts, but both of them will attack using plasma attacks ;)
-
But hey I can help you with backgrounds and sprites.
-
That's a very nice offer, but i have to refuse ^_^
We already have set up a great staff for this game, I hope you understand :)

No problem. I like to help people but also like to not get any help xD. The only help I like is programming wise, concept wise and maybe sprite/color correction. Also, you have a team. I am solo. So, I understand. Can you post mock-ups or screenshots of your game. Since 72dpi's Megaman 72 is too big and I dont have time to rush through them xD.
-
Sure thing, I threw together a provisional screenshot of Saw man's stage once.
(http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2009/351/2/2/Saw_Man_provisional_screenshot_by_HKLurch18.png)
It also displays MM72's "Big Stomper" enemy, the Proto Guts. He's a slight hint to wily's obsession with Gutsman and a pretty tough guy, especially in that screen shot
-
I must have really been out of the loop because this is my first time hearing about this game. Looks very promising. Consider me stoked.

You being stoked will not be in vain, my friend owob
In other news, I am currently working on MM72's Title screen and i would love to share the current "proto type" of it with you:
Enjoy!
(http://i50.tinypic.com/4tt177.jpg)
As said before, this one still needs a lot of work, as in new colors for bass' hand, some tweaking in the shading department, that stuff =)
-
(http://i45.tinypic.com/11rvt5l.png)
You know, there's a big problem with that stage select screen... Under NES limitations, the whole screen can have no more than 16 colors. This has 31. Furthermore, if you would for a second stop to think about how many sprites each mugshot would be made from, mugshots such as Rock's seem to be going overboard.

we didn't take the color issues too serious here, because quite frankly, capcom didn't do the same with their select screen for MM9 =)

Hello, I am sorry to double post on this, but I felt like this would be a most adiquate situation to do so.
Our awesome Artist DomoPJ, who is a rock-solid and long part of the game, finished the actual cover for MM72.
Enjoy:
(http://i46.tinypic.com/23vwz21.png)
-
Wow, I love it! They look so cute and shiny~ owo
-
Damn, that's one killer cover!
-
Yeah, I really like it, too! =)
As for further information, I prepared another mock up screen for you, this time it's BuzzMan's stage.
(http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/015/c/d/BuzzMan_provisional_Screenshot_by_HKLurch18.png)
First of all, I want to clarify who Buzz man is =)
(the following picture has some issues which are either fixed or caused by my .gif maker, please understand :) )
(http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2009/365/7/9/BuzzMan_animation___new_design_by_HKLurch18.gif)
Buzz man was designed to burn down the hives of dangerous insects, but his work made him turn mad in the end.
He is able to shoot flame projectiles or use his Buzz-ter to call for Robot-Insect reinforcement.
He is also a magnificent aerial enemy, who will keep you on your toes by his fast movements and his dangerous Buzz Bombs,
Which create a flamy explosion once it hit the ground.
Weapon you obtain by beating him: Buzz Bomb.
The Buzz Bomb you get after defeating this mad man is slightly different from the version buzz Man uses. The Buzz bomb is equipped with wings and flies straight upwards until it hits either an obstacle or an enemy. It will then unleash a flame shower upon every enemy underneath it. Very useful in places with ceilings or to hit enemies right above of you.
His stage is filled with tons of traps, all either fire or insect based. The most dangerous ones are the Splosion Flies, enemies MM can stand on and who fly at a very fast speed. So fast, in fact, that two Splosion flies explode when they collide.
Other obstacles include movement-hindering Honey platforms, Pesky insect enemies and flame fountains.
Is this enemy too hot for Mega Man?
Buzz Man theme: http://mcjimmy.dorino.net/Music/WIP/misc/MM72/mp3s/Buzzman.mp3
-
Say, HKLurch18, would you mind posting the fixed version of your title screen? Now would be a good time as any, I think.
-
Oh, right!
(http://i47.tinypic.com/2q1rprp.png)
I fixed the shading and overall the look of MM's hand.
Additionally i removed some colors so it comes closely to the NES color limitations :)
-
Hmm... Another villian...
I like how Buzz Man looks, and the weapon get.
And that cover... Brilliant.

Do you mean him:
(http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/011/5/4/Mega_Man_72______by_DomoPJ.png)
Yes, he is a new villian, indeed. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give to you:
Mute
Mute's theme (http://mcjimmy.dorino.net/Music/WIP/misc/MM72/mp3s/Mute.mp3) (It's supposed to sound similiar to another track, I am sure you'll get it ;) )

Interesting... WILY!
-
Interesting... WILY!
Whether it's Wily or not will not be spoiled, yet, Wily II ;)
-
Hehe, alright.
It does add to the suspense.. >0<
-
Hey guys, I thought i might show you the newest enemy in our roster.
Inspired by the original Mario Bros, this little fella gets very angry when you shoot him:
Overheat Crab
(http://i46.tinypic.com/30x7br4.png)
The crab is able to walk on the ceiling. once MM gets close, it jumps off of it and tries to attack him. After that it chases rock around shooting at him. beware if you hit it, though. Once enraged, the Overheat Crab's fire rates increases drastically as well as his speed!
-
As Dr. Mario would diagnose...
Megaman has crabs. :P
Interesting enemy there... Chaser... XD
-
Something Tells me We need a Custom Sprite thread...Like Sprites.inc... just for those who need sprites.
-
Will there be POW block in the game too? XD
-
nope, I am sorry >0<
speaking of enemies for Ooze man's stage, here's another one, the Harpoonile:
(http://i49.tinypic.com/vo98qc.png)
(http://i45.tinypic.com/zv0r5.gif)
hope you like it =)
-
That's a cute crocodile... *harpoon'd*
But seriously, nicely done.
-
Nice, crocodile with diving glasses! XD
I like his overall design too.
I am planning to have crocodiles in Mantis Woman's/Snipeman's stage too, but those will
only serve as moving platforms.
-
I saw that one at 72dpi, anyways. But hey your avatar is hilarious. XD
-

Same here. That said, it's certainly a cracked-out avatar. >U<
Meanwhile...Robotic Sidesteppers, huh? This oughta make things harder than usual. [eyebrow] Neat MB reference there, HKLurch18.
-
Thanks, as some of you who scanned through 72dpi's topics might now, I like referencing other games.
A prime example is this fella who will appear in Gamble Man's stage:
(http://i49.tinypic.com/wi9bbk.gif)
The Biso-Bot is a reference to Capcom's very own Balrog/M. Bison, as you might have guessed already.
He makes his appearance mainly in gamble man's stage because you had to face his street fighter counterpart in Las Vegas ;)
That being said, Dashing Punch without the Dashing :D

Everybody fear Oozeman riding crocodile and holding devilish vacuum cleaner.
You can't top THAT!
Also.... Elephant!

Well, that depends (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NinjaPirateZombieRobot)...

- LAAAAAaaaa-
And it's a Plunger ;)
thanks for your kind responses!
-
But wait, wouldn't that Ninja part and Pirate part fight against each other creating split personality disorder?
But now I am just getting sort of offtopic XD
And how could I take plunger for vacuum cleaner? Probably that little curved handle sort of mistified me X(
-
I just made a concept piece of Gamble Man's stage background. Have a look-see!
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/7483/gamblemanstagebackgroun.png
-
WIN!
Looks pretty good on paper... Might get difficult to sprite.
Then again, I don't know anything about BG spriting... XD
-
Oh I forgot to add that this is where I got my idea from. HKLurch can use this as well.
http://www.stockvault.net/download_file2.php?pid=11031
-
Yes, yes, I do see the influence for your drawing :) This will make an awesome BG for gamble man's stage!
EDIT: A gamble man enemy:
(http://i50.tinypic.com/2dubcl2.gif)
-
So... What happens when it stops at the different icons? :3
-
The funny thing is, that he does not really stop by himself:
As you are fighting him, he occasionally shoots bullets at you. Once you defeated him, the result of the gambling shown in his "death" animation will determinate the reward you get for beating him:
7 - Lucky #7 gives you an energy pellet
Gutsman - The proto Gutsman enemy appears and attack you
Eye + Hands holding cards - A fast card-sho flies in your direction. Dodging it is hard :)
and there are more gamble man enemies!
(http://i49.tinypic.com/efp0te.gif)
This roulette fella occasionally shoots projectiles which ricochet off of walls. Due to his long width you cannot just jump over him, which means that you need to destroy him in order to advane =)
-
I see... Very interesting concept for Slot Guy, as well as for Roulette Guy. :3
-
Wow, I think I will hate this stage, because I always had terrible luck X(
But those enemy designs are great.
-
Interesting. I saw all of them before though :D.
-
So, Is roulette guy rigged...? 8D

Furthermore, if you would for a second stop to think about how many sprites each mugshot would be made from, mugshots such as Rock's seem to be going overboard.
Just recently Kudos reminded me of checking the color limit of the select screen and I tried to reduce the colors down to 16
(http://i45.tinypic.com/2ilg6cl.png)
I counted:
-3 shades of blue
-2 shades of red
-2 shades of skin color
-1 shade of yellow
-2 shades of green
-2 shades of gray
-2 shades of purple
-black
-white
I hope i didn't oversee any colors, anyways: what do you guys think? :D
EDIT: just saw that the select window adds the total number to 17, this will be fixed, of course :D
-
Not only that but within color limits it looks even more beautiful than old one.
Posted on: January 24, 2010, 07:42:11 PM
Hmm. Its not 17, its 26 colors right now.
Posted on: January 24, 2010, 07:49:01 PM
(http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/949/59466658.gif)
Sorry for editing but this should work. Change the colors to your likings. It is 16 right now.
-
strange... perhaps there are some pixel mistakes which doube or triple some of the colors...
-
I counted:
-3 shades of blue
-2 shades of red
-2 shades of skin color
-1 shade of yellow
-2 shades of green
-2 shades of gray
-2 shades of purple
-black
-white
You count that manually. A program count adds up to 26. Which means you need to start unifying different values of the same color. For example, Rock's eyes are a different white than the lines in the background. As you can see, Nebula Black's edit fixes the image by doing exactly.
However, more is to be done still. Are you still adhering to 16 colors even when you switch to Forte and Blues?
Furthermore, aside from just the total, you need to look at each individual mugshot. They are to be made of 2 sprites; 2 palettes with each 4 palette values, 2 of which are by definition slotted to transparency; 6 colors for each mugshot. Of course, from a quick glance, this is something the total image might already be doing.
Still, from there, the objective is to use all those colors effectively. If you compare Rock's mugshot with the others, you can tell his looks so much better for some reason. That reason is Inti's knowledge of pixel technique, color choice and anti-aliasing, among other things. Try and figure out where more or less use of colors is required and be smart about where you place each pixel.
-
My head hurts. I never heard about the 16 color on screen restriction in MM games before. Must remember this
-
Thanks, Nebula, But i do not like the changes you made, still I appreciate your will to help :)
I got another mock up screen prepared , to showcase the portion of Saw man's stage which is not set in the Wood-cutting facility.
(http://i48.tinypic.com/333iglk.png)
As you can see I got my influences for this part of the stage from Woodman and Concrete Man: The forest which is currently cut down has less detail and even the tree tops seem to lack a healthy amount of leaves. On top of that, we got enemies here which try to camouflage before they attack you, as well as quite the heavy machinery, chasing you until you reach the lonely Wood Cutting facility.
What dangers lie ahead inside that gruesome factory? and what awaits our heroes after they bypassed that devilish construction side made by men?
-
looks really cool! owob
Also I am really glad that you are doing 2 player game. We really need more multiplayer megaman platformers! >w<
-
I like that mini-tree enemy there, and sounds similar to Turbo's stage, but sounds more dangerous. :3

Nuuuuu!!! The Dark Forest is swallowing up Bass!!!! 8U
Just kidding. 8D Looks awesomeness. Really.
-
You know what? Mind your own business because you obviously don't know anything. I was mad because I got teh feeling that domopj was helpign other people and I was the only 1 that got my request turned down. He explained it out to me and I've already apologized. So get off my topics and mind your own business
I do have actual works on youtube but obviously someone nosy like you jumps to conclusions without getting the right facts and evidence. Before talking nonsence why don't you get your facts right and leave me alone? This has already been resolved and I don't need your nonesence anymore.
You are also wasting my time with this.
-
Ehhh? Is there something that I missed?
Anyway, I wanted to ask, will Megaman, Protoman and Bass each have some characteristic atributes?
You know, like Bass' rapid fire, Protoman's bigger damage but smaller defense and such.
Also when Megaman has Rush, Bass has Treble, what will Protoman have?

we are considering different attributes, yes :)
Whether those will be from the actual games or not still needs to be discussed ;)
As for the adapters, we'll most like go the MM9 way and have PM use several gadgets. We might also try to use his Shield for the Jet adapter :)
@NP: All right, I did not know that you have apologized already, never mind then.
-
well alrighty but I think I said some offensive things to you too, I'm very sorry.
-
I am on a roll!
First part of Gamble man's stage is designed!
(http://i47.tinypic.com/2uzplpt.png)
i hope you like it :)
-
Pretty colorful I must say. :)
-
Like it? I LOVE it! owob
That said, the Bass helmet logos on the slot machines are a nice touch, I must say.
-
I think it would look better with a more restricted color set really. It looks a little too cluttered and saturated for NES style. The enemies also have quite a few unessential colors. They look in a completely different style than Megaman because of their shading and over coloring.

Thanks for the honest criticism :)
I still have one or two remarks, though. First is that the entire tileset was made with the NES Palette, so even if this looked very colorful, it would be possible for the NES, on a technical level, wouldn't it?
I can of course try to tweak some colors here and there to see whether you're right :)
As for the enemies, I tried to restrain to a 5 color limit per "big" enemy; although I see your point. I might have gone way overboard in the shading of the roulette guy. I'll not change the Boxer Robot though, because I think it looks rather nice ^_^
-
double post, hooray!
Anyways, I reduced the colors to avoid the seizure feeling :)
(http://i46.tinypic.com/2hozslj.png)
I hope you like it :) It's tough to get the balance between neon light and griddyness, but it worked out , well :)
-
Hmm, it does look "calmer" than the previous one.
-
it would be possible for the NES, on a technical level, wouldn't it?
That I'm not completely sure. Capcom, at least for Megaman games, has tried to keep things at no more than 16 colors per screen. Though there is an instance or two where you can get 17 colors in the later games. I'm not sure why they chose to do that, or if there was some technical reason or limit. They did seem to go to great lengths to maintain 16 or under though.
-
3rd times the charm!
(http://i45.tinypic.com/2q0299j.png)
it's just provisional, the tiles do not overgo the 16 colors together; as for the enemies and megaman, i have to see what I can do later on. Hope you like it!
-
Hmm. it looks good enough plus its only 15 colors at total. Keep it on owob
-
I like the third one, the first one was really colorful but maybe little too much.
The second one looked sort of dark and not really that nice.
And the third one is really nice mix between the previous two.
-
thanks guys :)
I'll add some better shading to some of those tiles and eventually I'll have a screen of the environment outside of the Casino up! :)
Expect something rather familiar!

So, I thought that it might be good idea to fill you in on the actual story of Megaman 72 :P
Script written by Kudos Force:
In the year 20XX...
*shot of the city*
With Mega Man protecting the world's peace from Dr. Wily's diabolical schemes, all was well.
Unfortunately...
*shot of a smirking Bass, being surrounded by shadows of the RMs*
*shadowed sprites of different robot masters zip around over the screen in random directions, while the screen is flashing*
*shot of the city being ingulfed with explosions, while it goes dark with a tint of dark green*
A group of robots took up arms, immediately causing suffering, mayhem and destruction all around the world!
The one responsible for this attack?
*An ethereal-looking version of Bass' upper body appears above the city, with his hands rised, palms open and smirking with evil glee*
Bass!! Trying to be the world's strongest robot by destroying all who stand in his path!!
*fade to black*
*a mini-image, depicting the scene described below, scrolls in from the left*
*Mega Man looks at the left and shakes his fist, with a growling Rush at his side*
Mega Man: All right, Bass, this time you've went too far! Let's go, Rush!
*a mini-image depicting the scene described below, scrolls in from the right*
*Proto Man is seen hiding behind a nearby cliff rock, while crossing his arms and legs in a casual manner*
Proto Man: I better follow him, just in case.
*a mini-image depicting the scene described below, scrolls in from the bottom*
*Bass is seen angrily shaking his fist, towards the player's perspective*
Bass: What!? A robot is pretending to be me? I'm gonna crush that weakling poser!
*All three mini-screens fade in to the following depicted scenes, at the same time*:
- Mega Man heads toward the city using Rush Jet
- Proto Man dashes to the city
- Bass is seen heading to the city, using Treble Jet
*Zoomed-in shot of Mega Man, Proto Man & Bass, standing in the middle of the near-destroyed city*
Mega Man: ProtoMan! Bass!? Why are you here?
Bass: There's a fake of me running around and I want to take him out!
Mega Man: Really? I'm not sure about what you're saying...
Proto Man: It doesn't matter if he's lying or not, because we've got bigger problems, right now. Those rampaging robots are too dangerous, so we're gonna have to work together.
Bass: Fine then.
*Mega Man, Proto Man & Bass are all seen assuming an action pose, on the black screen*
Mega Man: Okay then, let's go!
*fade to title screen*
(Thanks again, Kudos :D )
Anyways, as you can see, there will be one screenshot of bass being surrounded by the RM's, well I did that quite a while ago, but i wanted to show you anyways :) (http://i46.tinypic.com/fvbeiw.png)
-
I thought that the story would be something like this, nice way to get even Bass involved into this teamwork.
As for the picture, I wish I could make something that good ;O;
-
OOoh sounds exciting! OwO A fake Bass...
-
actually I have to give DomoPJ credit for it; he drew the picture (you can also see in my avatar) and all i did was working around it to make it look 8-bit. Since I am pretty much a noob in art I did that is paint, which still was a pain in the butt to do XD
-
Don't worry I am also big art noob. XD Well if I want and give it a little time and effort I can make at least little decent drawings on paper, but I am hopeless with coloring in programs like photoshop and such, maybe if I had tablet.
For example those two pictures of Mantis Woman and Rocket Man I made, I pretty much sketched them on paper and than overdrew them in paint. XD
-
Interesting story-plot, and lovely scene pic there.
-
thanks, bro =)
The outside of gamble man's stage is done, enjoy!
(http://i49.tinypic.com/qntldx.png)
Those light-lines are supposed to be rails for platforms i still need to sprite :)
-
Reminds me os Sonic's casino stages.
-
guess which stage theme I listened to while spriting, my friend ;)
-
Of course! It must have been
[spoiler]Marble Zone[/spoiler]
-
No no, it must have been...
[spoiler]Spring Yard Zone~ :3[/spoiler]
But actually it was...
[spoiler]Casino Night Zone ^^[/spoiler]
-
Yeah it really reminds me of that casino stages in Sonic.
I think like this it looks impressive, also I suppouse that neon rectangle is on same level as platforms and not in the background, right?
If yes, it looks little mystifying at first because it has same color as the background buildings.
Also my bet is on
[spoiler]Casino Night from Sonic 2[/spoiler]
-
Well, I have to say that screenshot, of the casino's outside, is beautiful! :O Flashy, but beautiful. This is about as close as it gets, to scenery porn in a 8-bit MM game.
By the way, thanks to all those who commented on the story. owob This means a lot to me, you know? I can't take all the credit, though; HKLurch had come up with the base concept (a Bass imposter), and then I simply fleshed it out.
(Thanks again, Kudos :D )
Any time, my friend. ;) I do love writing MM plots, rather, so I'm glad to have helped.
Also my bet is on
[spoiler]Casino Night from Sonic 2[/spoiler]
Give a prize, to the man with the orange RM! ~w~

thank you :)
The rectangle is kind of in the background; it's not as far away as the buildings and the pimp blimp, but I certainly see your point and will color those rails differently :)
Thanks a lot for pointing out, my friend, and thanks to all the others replying here :D

double posting for great justice, I got MM72's Joe enemy done.
presenting you Mirror Joe
(http://i47.tinypic.com/33p7g5d.png)
-
Mirror effect! *swipe*
Ahem, reflected projectiles does damage? Sweet.
-
Mirror effect! *swipe*

yes, yes , glad you like it :)
also I worked on some new tiles for Buzz man and I got some help from Baital as well.
Anyways, i made up a new Buzz Man boss room.
(http://i50.tinypic.com/2lixykk.png)
i might change buzz man's shade of red later on to put him more into the foreground
-
No prob, you are helping me too. :)
That Mirror Joe looks neat. I hate reflecting projectiles XD
Buzz man's bossroom looks great too. Only one thing that looks little odd is the door. This way it seems like it is too much in the front and not on the same level as walls or little behind, this is probably made by how the top of the door meets with the wall.
That or I am blind. XD
-
i get your point; i'll recolor it instantly :)
thanks, mate ^_^
-
it looks well done, BTW, how do you make those screens?
-
it looks well done, BTW, how do you make those screens?
Thank you :)
I have a template screen saved, consisting of 16 x 14 tiles , 16x16 pixels each.
I simply open the tileset and that template screen and put it all together, like a giant Jigsaw Puzzle. once finished, Enemies and megaman get inserted from their respective tilesets :)
Posted on: February 02, 2010, 18:50:42
so, got some more Buzzy Goodness for you!
(http://i49.tinypic.com/2n6er1f.png)
I have to thank my buddy stardius here though. His InkMan screenshot inspired me to make those new background tiles ^_^
-
I am glad that I inspired someone :)
Also I really like look of the stage, with all that lava in background, lava below it really looks like there is a lot happening and
it gives that feeling of danger.
-
Thanks :)
Buzz Man will have a pretty huge contrast in his stage, but see for yourself ^_^
(http://i47.tinypic.com/voylu8.png)
after traversing the fiery part of the level, you travel through an artificial forest where the bees are raised inside of that huge honey factory.
This part is filled with insect enemies like the dangerous terrapede who lurks inside those walls just to bite after you once you get close
-
I really envy you, I can try as hard as I can but I am not able to draw leafs. ;O;
And is it just me or the trunks mysteriously disappeared?
-
Thanks :)

the Catterpillar-like enemie needs white light shade and, isnt the lava supposed to be Hot Honey?
and looking at Buzz Sprites, i guess it's just me, but, you may fix his face to look a little bit more, megamanisque, it doesn't look that much like a robot master, but rather as an american cartoon man dressing up as a robot master........kinda like VirtualMan
Nevermind :P

Lots of RMs look like humans wearing costumes, including Mega Man himself, so its no big deal. ;)
That said, I do agree with you on the Terrapede; It certainly needs some light shading. Aside that, the forest looks quite nice.
-
hey guys, I just want to tell you that Buzz Man's stage is complete in terms of the tilesets and the layout ;)
/ doesn't post the stage to built up some suspense
Also as for the terra-pede enemy, yeah I agree that it needs shading =)

I Realized that my statement was very hypocritical, since my fan game has most Human looking RM's, i wanna apologize and i will work for things like this not happen in the future
Keep n on your good work owob

hey, it's all right. Thank you :)
-
I'm Starting to grow on Distort Man...
-
Im not going to see any blue hedgehogs zipping by in that Casino stage am I?
lookin good. One thing on the intro story though. Bass seems a little too quick to agree working with Megaman and Protoman. if anything, he wouldnt like the idea... Even if he agrees, I feel he would be a bit more reluctant about it. I mean, Bass is always on edge, that guy. Especially when it comes to "teamwork" with the likes of his enemies.

I see your point. The script might get worked on a little bit, but overall we want to stick to it. The story's main purpose, in our case, is to explain why the three Robots work together. If Bass's motivations need to be developed a bit more, I will take care of that.
Thanks for pointing that out! :)
-
No one says they dont have to, just that he's too quick to agree.

Hey guys!
I reworked the sprite design for Ooze Man, enjoy!
(http://i50.tinypic.com/t85850.png)
Left is the old, right is the improved version.
Changed to make him look more like in the drawings of DomoPJ:
(http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2009/352/f/0/Data_Card___Ooze_Man_by_DomoPJ.png)
-
I think if you'd want to do that art justice, you'd need to use lighter values of red and green, as well as properly place the lighter gray sections.
-
Hey, good Ooze man reborn) He is my favourite RM. Good Job HKLurch18))
-
I think if you'd want to do that art justice, you'd need to use lighter values of red and green, as well as properly place the lighter gray sections.
I thought about using a lighter shade of green, so i will definitely try that out!
As for the red, I did not use any because i set myself a 5 color limit per sprite. I might use a lighter shade of gray, though, replace the lighter shade of gray by white for metallic reflection and color his arms black. that way I could eliminate the now lighter shade of gray and make room for red.
At splash: Thanks, i really like him , too. That's why I made that new version.
Actually, Ooze Man was my very first robot master :)
-
I got Oozy's sprite sheet done, I believe. I might work on the shooting stance some more, but for now, I am happy with it.
http://i47.tinypic.com/r0w6lf.png
His opening pose will probably consist of pose 1 and 2 from the top line and pose 3 of the 3rd line.
-
i don't know, i did a small redesign to the sprite of you don't mind, the right sprite uses my NES palette (i said that because i use a base palette for editing, but the colors on others people palettes may vary).
(http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/8439/oozemanfix.png)
i couldn't resist :V
(edit: re-edited the image for some small color corruption because the hues of my PC are so dark that i dint see the darker shade of gray).

haha, hey thanks for that! The colors look much better, I acknowledge that. There are still some things I like better in my interpretation.
The only thing which can help us solve the problem...is math.
(http://i48.tinypic.com/2lk910x.png)
-
You know, the colors your using are like the complete inverse of the drawing...
-
I couldnt resist editing it, sorry...
(http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/7632/30561511.gif)
I think this is closest one I can get with the drawing...

(http://i48.tinypic.com/2lk910x.png)
I thing the last one probably has the green too bright, imho.
I think I like the Nebula's one the best colorwise, it also has nice details on it.
-
i appreciate how you people are helping me, but it never was my intention to make him look like an exact copy of the drawing ;)
I intentionally kept the design for the sprites simple, to avoid it looking clustered, like your version does, NB.
If you look at other RM sprites, they also do not exactly carbon copy their drawn counterparts. I do not really know why you guys think that ooze man's design is so detailed. it's basically a black bio-hazard suit, with that red pipe on top of it, two huge cannons and a lower body part i intentionally covered by the bio hazard suit in his sprites ;)
The "backpack" in the drawing is rather optional, because a previous drawing did not have that ;)
As for the gun design, I like it the way it is, now, as well as the rest of Ooze Man :)
Thanks a lot though for trying to help, but keep in mind that i intentionally simplified the design on the one hand and redesigned other parts on the other hand. I like the way he looks, by now :)
-
Wow...so many sprites...Good job)
-
More sprites to come. Thanks to Nebula Black, I finally managed to redesign some of the sprites I dod not like so much, before.
There you go, here is the all new designed line up for Megaman 72
(http://i50.tinypic.com/keznm1.png)
-
Now that is quite a RM line up
-
get equipped with the unnessesary and way overpowered super nerdy Megaman 72 Yu gi oh cards
(http://i45.tinypic.com/1zg6s6q.png)
Hooray for cheap nd overused yugioh card creators on the internet
-
I really like Sawman's current sprite
And will there be Magic and Trap Cards too? XD
And those arts on those cards once again reminds me, that it would be nice to find someone who can do those for NT too XD
-
Poor Saw Man, he is the only no effevt monster :P
-
Screw Megaman, I have cards. :P
Awesome arts, though like Blackhook mentioned, poor Saw Man for no effect. XD
-
haha :P
also, Gamble man posing test:
(http://i47.tinypic.com/345c0aw.gif)
-
It´s time to D-d-d-d-d-duel! Gamble Man, trust in the heart of the cards!...couldn´t resist
-
Will he put down a face-down card!?
It´s time to D-d-d-d-d-duel! Gamble Man, trust in the heart of the cards!...couldn´t resist
Darn, beaten to it. XD
-
Hot damn, I like Plasma Man and Distort Man's artwork a lot. =D
-
Will he put down a face-down card!?
Darn, beaten to it. XD
Nope, but he will put you down, Face-down :P
-
D:
Well... YOU ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD!
MEGAMAN ATTACKS! 8D
-
so hey guys, I am sorry for not posting for a while.
I wanted to inform you, that I am currently taking a break from the project due to my graduation being right around the corner.
Anyways, i will show you my current progress on the new gamble man sprites before I started taking a break, enjoy! =)
(http://i50.tinypic.com/2rp47k1.png)
i still need to include a walking animation =)
-
Did I mention that I really like Gamble Man?
Cool sprites. =D

Wily stage 4 song is completed!
http://mcjimmy.dorino.net/Music/WIP/misc/MM72/mp3s/Wily%27s%20Fortress%20%28Final%20Encounter%29.mp3
Additionally, i picked graphical work up again, this time i am working on Ooze Man's tileset!
Posted on: March 09, 2010, 18:33:10
Double pose for epic saw man update
(http://i43.tinypic.com/1603ama.gif)
What's left to fix: some pixel mistakes, smoother transition between standing and dashing, makeing dashing look more vivid.
So here he is, saw man. His attacks include a dash-slash and banging out Saw blades from his head, which roll on the floor first, but home in on mega man soon after. A third attack, which you cannot see here, has him firing a saw into the treetops on the ceiling of the boss room, causing branches to fall down.
-
Lol at head banging!
Instant respect man! XD
-
... What a rocker. owob
-
Oh boy, long time no post.
Hey Guys, I got back into my spriting mood, even though I am right in my graduation-exam phase.
well, its quite the tranquilizer when you are all excited about your grades and stuff.
Anyways, I tried to sprite Balance, Mute's foxy sidekick: http://hklurch18.deviantart.com/art/MM72-Balance-161565399
I hope you enjoy how he came out, and please remember that this is my first sprite in months :)
(http://i43.tinypic.com/33u8y1h.png)
-
Looks great mang
Glad too see the project isn't dead as well *o*
-
That does look pretty sweet!
-
thanks, i am sorry sorry for the late response, but i was busy with my graduation exams
WHICH ARE FINALLY OVER NOW! 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
and to prove that i am actually working on something for MM72:
(http://i43.tinypic.com/10d6wlw.png)
i know i used the jet and feet of rush, but why mess with something that works well?
It doesnt harm the overall look of these sprites either, so please: no canny non-sassy remarks there ;)
-
Sweet sprites man ^_^
-
They do look pretty sweet! ^_^
-
Cute. I would pat his head if it wouldn´t burn me...
-
Thanks a lot for the warm comments, people =)
I have something even warmer for you, painted and drawn by domoPJ and Ryan, a new artist who's new to the team!
Enjoy this pretty much kick-assery of art!
(http://i40.tinypic.com/5non6q.jpg)
this one is pretty much our "boxart" for MM72 =)
-
I like that Wily. He looks pretty kickass.
-
Agreed, so is that Wily Machine of his. :3
-
Holy [parasitic bomb], that may just be the best fanart I've ever seen
-
thinking the same, man =)
also, MetalshadicX(from 72dpi) and me are collaborating on inject man's tileset and I'd like to show you the tiny bits we have done so far:
(http://i43.tinypic.com/167qzy9.png)
the bg of course wont just contain these tiles. we will try to bring more diversity into this =)
-
Looks pretty sweet! Nice job, man! ^_^
-
thank you :)
Inject man's battle room will look different from the rest of the stage, though, so he and the bg do not blend in that much.
anyways, Thanks to the skills of DomoPJ, Ryan and CadmiumRED (thx, pals!) we now got a new and kick-ass title screen
(http://i39.tinypic.com/xg0gud.jpg)
-
Oh cool, Cad helped out!
Loving that title screen, looks a LOT better than the old one.
-
There are a lot of lines that look really broken which makes that face look really sloppy.
-
All I did was take what was given to me and sprited it, don't blame me.
-
I´m not blaming anyone, I´m just giving an honest critic. And the drawing doesn´t have those problems actually, it´s the transition between that and the sprite which failed. There are some lines that break the roundness of some parts, like the gem or the helmet for example.
-
I think it looks great, personally.
-
ah! I see what you're talking about.
Mind if I try and fix it?
-
I do not, although I have to say that i cannot see any flaws which actually ruin the sprites ^_^
Anyways, sure, go ahead =)
Posted on: May 13, 2010, 15:20:09
i am sorry for the double post, but I wanted to show you a preview of Inject man's stage ;)
(http://i40.tinypic.com/fmp44w.png)
-
One Hit Kill Needles?. . . Do I need anymore reason to fear the hospital ?
-
This project is making great progress - we're pushing it as much as we can.
So far so good 8D
-
You definitely broke the color limit with those needles.
-
Okay, I fix'd it up a bit.
(http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e307/zomaru3/redo.png)
Changes:
-Smoothed out the lines
-Reworked the jewel
-Altered the Shadow.
-changed the location of the highlight on the jewel, It was in the wrong place.
Didn't Change:
-The shadows placement.
-Palette
I hope you like it ><;
-
Yes, MUCH better. Besides the bottom and upper part of the shadow, which I think works better if it´s rounded like the original, the rest is really good.
-
I didn't really try on the shading o<o;
maybe I'll go for a second try on it but not right >3<; no more PIXELS!!!! XD
Or the original spriter can fix it ~
-
You definitely broke the color limit with those needles.
Would changing the syringue's fluid color to green help solve the problem?

I´m only refering to that middle line that separates the face and the shadow, I think it would look better if it´s rounded like the original. It´s really minor, don´t even bother to fix it.
I´m glad to see someone understood what I was talking about.
The stage looks pretty cool.
-
Okay, I fix'd it up a bit.

I sure do like it!
Although, as it has been pointed out already, a rounded shadow works better ;)
Thank you a lot =)
Oh and objection man, i counted the colors and you were right;
white, 2 shades of grey, red and the transparency color are 1 too many ;)
-
Alrite guys, just a couple of updates.
1. Inject Mans tileset is complete - it may however get some upgrades later on. :D
2. Inject Mans battleground/bossroom is complete. ;)
3. We will start working on Inject Mans level layout - perhaps today. 8B
4. Im working on Saw Mans background (and on some tiles) , you can check the current results at our forum. 8D
5. @ Objection Man - The needles are now fixed. :3
So far so good 8)
PS: I love Servbots (the smileys)
-
Yes, yes, we are quite boosting tile production, may i even say we give it a big "lurch" forward? uh ho ho ho ho ho hi 8D :V 8D
anyways, for your pleasure, I upload the boss room of Inject Man as it looks at this moment.
(http://i39.tinypic.com/359fybq.png)
I hope you like it :)
-
Good stuff ^_^ I like the city background.
Just a question. I haven't followed the progress closely on this forum but: how far are you into making the tilesets and how many people are working on them?
-
So far we got Buzz man's, Inject man's and Gamble man's sheets done entirely.
Buzz man's and Gamble man's were done entirely by me, whereas MSX and I collaborated on Inject Man's.
We also plan to go back to fix some flaws in gamble man's sheet and then finish up Saw Man's sheets entirely.
Posted on: May 14, 2010, 20:53:36
double post man, go!
I created a small preview of saw man's first half of the stage.
(http://i44.tinypic.com/rcrm7p.png)
WHAT WE PLAN TO ADD:
fluffy bg clouds,
Shadow effect to some of the tiles.
Criticism and opinions are appreciated!
-
Looks pretty sweet! ^_^
-
gosh your graphic design skills look nice.
-
Good job - love how the background turned out to be awesome.
Ill start workin on the clouds right away.
-
(http://i44.tinypic.com/rcrm7p.png)
Awesome! But I think a Joe driving the vehicle would be even more awesome. :V

There we go,added clouds and fixed some tiles. I hope you like this mock-up screen =)
-
bwt remember that any object except minibosses in the original games are one pixel into tiles. so its more like they're not standing on a 16x16 tile but like 15x16. They are one pixel into it. Remember that.
-
The gray/red floor tile section has a black horizontal line running through it that doesn't really work well.

It is a pity that not on the internet... ;^;
EDIT:
And what will happen to obtain weapons? Only one will be able to get it?
-
No, I think both will. In the later X games, all characters got the weapons, not just the one who beat the boss. I think the same will apply here.

Obviously both players who meet the boss - or else it would be weird - wouldnt it?
-
Well, to use X8 as an example, only one character fought the boss (at one time, you could switch to the back-up at any time). So two of three characters in the stage at once. If you use the double attack or whatever it's called, that's two at once. And yet, all three characters got the boss weapon. That's what I was getting at. So no, it wouldn't be weird.

It is 72dpi so it might have a chance getting on Wii Homebrew

Does this topic require some links to the level songs?

great to see you on RPM, Jimmy!
Well it definitely wont hurt ;)

Going to copy paste a bit of what I have on the other forum then. Some of these might be a bit more updated then the ones in the youtube videos, if any of you guys watch those when Lurch puts them up on the official MM72 channel.

Rough draft of another Wily song, no details in it yet - http://mcjimmy.dorino.net/Music/WIP/misc/MM72/mp3s/wily2.mp3
-Oozeman Remix-

You may suggest ideas for undone songs, which are the following :
intro song
main menu
boss select - 3 versions
password screen
game over - might be very easy once I work on that one actually
final boss theme
mute stages
wily and stage boss themes (started this a bit)
credits
and others I probably forgot...

Guys, I am proud to present to you our first actual gameplay footage!
Keep in mind the following things:
-the level here is just a test area
- the engine still has a couple of bugs
without further ado, enjoy!
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGf4b_jOEFI[/youtube]
-
Wow, great to see first gameplay, and it looks good so far. owob
Makes me to look forward for the game even more.
-
Just putting it out there, because of this video, your fangame is now further ahead than any other one on the site. You should feel very proud of that! :P
EDIT: Well, at least all the fangames using N64mario's engine (Which almost all of them are) seeing as his engine doesn't have enemies yet. Or at least, publicly released enemies.
-
Yes, yes 8D
We are very proud of releasing this video, the engine has been updated heavily - however,
the updates will remain "confidental" for some time, but it'll be worth the wait =)
-
Well, until we get enough big updates at least. Since people probably don't want to hear about fixing a wall or adding a different type of platform.
-
Hey guys and girls.
Just want to let you know that we're still here and working hard - peace. 8B
-
Might as well post my work in progess song for the first Mute stage so people have something to gander at since we haven't been posting many updates - Slipping Into Silence (http://mcjimmy.dorino.net/Music/WIP/misc/MM72/mp3s/Slipping%20Into%20Silence.mp3) :W
-
That's a nice update to see. Keep up the awesome work.
Wish I could show some stuff. I have tons of assets finished. Almost all sprites are finished. Still working hard. : P
I can't wait to show some gameplay ^_^

A short update from my side, MCJimmy will love it.
(http://i46.tinypic.com/f9h3xz.png)
I redesigned the Ooze Man sprite, his body is now gray instead of outline-black and his shape drawn a lot cleaner.
-
(http://i46.tinypic.com/f9h3xz.png)
MC Jimmy does love it!
Also I made another track for the final Mute Stage.
I wanted to convey Mute's arrogance in this song, so it sort of sounds casual. It also pays homage to the Mute Theme, since it'll be the last time you see him (or is it?). It also happens to be full of accidentals like the last song. Making most of the Mute stages like that.
Breaking From The Silence (http://mcjimmy.dorino.net/Music/WIP/misc/MM72/mp3s/Breaking%20From%20The%20Silence.mp3)
-
well the boots and others could share colors, since i guess one shouldnt exced from the 5 color limit for this type of sprites, i mean, 3 colors plus black and white.
-
i talked to nebula black yesterday about the color issue and usually it goes like the Face gets 1 palette and body gets 1 palette.
1 palette equals 3 colors.
oozeman has no facial movement seperated from the body one, though ,so I can use all the 6 colors of 2 palettes for his entire sprite =)
-
5 color limit
(http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/6771/plantman.png) (http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/4864/splashwoman.png)
These have 7 right? Unless I'm mistaking. Even though MM9 isn't a classical Mega Man from the NES era itself, Plantman sure is and had 7.
-
Multiple layers are the keywords here
-
For those that want to know; the color limit for an entire NES screen is 4 palettes for sprites. In a Rockman game, they're set up as follows:
Player character (Changed by Special Weapons and shared with obtainable items):
Transperancy-Black-Shade1-Shade2
Character faces (Reused for skintone colored enemies)
Transperancy-Black-Skintone-White
Anything else:
Transperancy-Black-Color-Color
Transperancy-Black-Color-Color
A boss thus has the latter three palettes at their disposal.
Most bosses follow:
Transperancy-Black-Skintone-White
Transperancy-Black-Color-Color
Some follow:
Transperancy-Black-Color-Color.
Transperancy-Black-Color-Color
And an extraordinarily rare amount use:
Transperancy-Black-Skintone-White
Transperancy-Black-Color-Color
Transperancy-Black-Color-Color
Because the palettes on screen at once are limited, they are often shared among different objects. The colors of the boss' projectiles are taken from one of these three palettes and in turn, the projectile could determine what the player character would look like when equipping that weapon. That is, if the projectile doesn't use the face palette.
What's more important here is that there is also a technical limit of 8 sprites per scanline and 64 sprites on screen. A sprite is defined as the 8x8 or 8x16 blocks that make up a character. A scanline is a horizontal pixel wide line, not vertical. If either of these limits is breached, flickering is designed to happen. So effectively, sprites can easily be stacked up vertically, but not horizontal or overlapping.
If anybody is still confused, I can perhaps make some visual examples of how it's supposed to work. But you could also use FCEUX's debug features to see the four palettes at work while you play the games.
-
Oh, so each NES palette HAS to have transparency and black in it?
i thought that , when 1 has black in it already, the other palettes have 3 variable colors.
Well, as it turns out, Ooze man uses 3 palettes afterall, but tbh I don't really mind as Jimmy just presented us similar cases in Rockman-history, so i am fine with ooze man's current look :3
thanks for clarifying, zan
-
The colors are correct, as Jimmy stated.
-
Oh, no not all the palettes have to have black. The only requirement is that all of them have to have the transparency value, creating the NES' max color limit of (3*8)+1=25. (4 palettes for sprites, 4 for environment) In theory you can do anything with these 4 palettes, but the way Rockman is setup demands such things as the player having a palette solely his own, the face palette being around at all times. Similarly, almost all the sprites have a black outline in Rockman games and palettes are heavily interlinked between different objects, which is why practically all palettes have it.
Now, in theory you can also make any and all outlines using just the face palettes, but then you'd have to be overlapping two whole objects at all times. However, there's a practical limit of 8 sprites per scanline, 64 on screen, so you have to have a black for the outline in each palette to reduce the sprites on screen.
In very few cases the black value can be changed to something else. The biggest example being the mugshots, which are a combination of sprites and tiles, and thus often use and altered face palette that instead of black has an extra skintone.
Anyway, here's a visual example of boss palettes and how they relate to the player character:
(http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g295/ZanSidera/NESPAL_EX3.gif)
-
I think we talked this before, Zan. Outline doesnt have to be black.
It can be:
Transparent + Black + Yellow + White
Transparent + Blue + Red + Green
Black is not forced.
-
Which is... exactly what I said. It's just that black is enforced by the graphical style, instead of the system.
-
It can be used to be in style as well. By using overlay carefully.
-
Anyways...
Plasmaman Update - Unstable Plasma (http://mcjimmy.dorino.net/Music/WIP/misc/MM72/mp3s/Unstable%20Plasma.mp3)
- Shortened the intro
- Changed the bass line and got rid of the toms
- Changed the drum line and made it less annoyingly electric
- Different instruments utilized
- Minor note changes in the beginning
- Ending totally changed
Tell me what you think.
-
It can be used to be in style as well. By using overlay carefully.
Keeping this in mind, I've redone the SplashWoman example. Also, added PlantMan.
-
http://www.a3share.com/members/1119/plant-pal.PNG -
just wanted to show. From what zan was talking about with plantman, here's the palletes in real-time via FCEUX's tools. so yea it's multi layered with megaman's face pallete, a normal enemy/boss pallete, plus another for extra detail.
http://www.a3share.com/members/1119/spacecannon-duplex.PNG
i wanted to show this too, this is from my game, the space travelling level of duplex man. That space cannon enemy that shoots the pink lazer beams if any of you remember if you played my game ? well since the whole entire level is basically empty on a black screen with only stars, instead of using black outline, i used the darkest shade of blue so that it's outline could be seen at least, and 2 pinks + white for the lazer beams it shoots, and a couple little extra spots on the actual cannon itself as you can see, so it could stand out.
I was able to multi-layer that thing only really because it's not grouped with other enemies in that section with them.
-
Hey guys, thanks for the entire NES-sprite thing, but please do not overlook the stuff MCJimmy has posted here and lets get back to topic ;)
Jimmy, that song is simply amazing! I love what you did to plasma man's theme, it sounds like a really, really nice collab of Wily stage 1 from megaman 1 , quickman and sparkman to me. Awesome :3

I agree with you 100% - Totally gives the feeling of "Unstable Plasma" He he he.

Also I finished a key enemy for Buzz Man's stage. not sure whether you know what he does, but I wont tell you, now.

double post, I have a new mock-up screen ready which showcases the new look of buzz man's stage:
(http://i46.tinypic.com/21n4375.png)
Please keep in mind that this here is just provisional. The plant tiles wont just float in mid air in the actual level but will be placed near stretches of land. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it =)
-
Won't Forte look really really weird when he gets in front of that black background?
-
...Camouflage perhaps?
-
Why is there a bean in the wall?
-
That's actually a larva, Jim. ;)
-
No, its a bean. With stripes. -_-
-
Leave the mighty bean larva alone D=
anyways, The bass sprites will get fixed eventually :)
-
Sorry I didn't do anything yesterday, felt shitty and napped a lot.
Gambleman has received a face lift now. Used some techniques from that JEWelman song.

What kinda lousy excuse for a fan-game is this??? Oh wait, I'm working in this group too. Also, Plasma Man still needs that overhaul I was planning for him.

Awesome man, when I first heard it, my emulator was damaged, and made it sound weird, but boy, this is *swear* awesome!
-
agreed, this track perfectly captures the saw and punk theme of Saw man.
add in a catchy tune, the revving sound near the end and the metal blade sounds and you got yourself one track that is cutting edge (no pun intended)

I've been working on some other songs, I'm just kind of keeping them secret for now. Just so you guys don't think I'm being a lazy. I even have one Timmy hasn't heard yet. 8B

He likes Beat as lunch, yes. [eyebrow]
By the way, Balance's data card info was provided by me. I got a bit of assistance from the crew on the likes and dislikes, though. ;)

Well hi guys, I think that i should post something again, too, so here ya go:
Mirror Man Mock up (Featuring Bomb man :P )
(http://i29.tinypic.com/2rxgwnt.png)
Now please be aware that this is very far away from being finished. I still have to add some sciency looking gear here and there and flesh out the bg a little it more, as well as some tiles of the foreground.
Anyways, I felt like this mockup would give away the overall design and idea behind mirror man's stage quite nicely. As you can see, i draw some influence from flashman's stage for the BG.
Yes, this stage will feature the terrific quick lasers here and there, almost in the same fashion like in Rainbow Man's stage (then again,Rainbow man and Mirror man are kinda rivals, judging by the data card info of both robots :) )
anyways, I hope you like the basic idea so far =)
-
Looks like I picked the right time to join in. This is marvelous so far. I wounder how it will look like being complete.
-
I'm really impressed with those mirror enemies. Kickass as usual, fellas. =D
-
Another rainbow man and shield shelldon stage with megaman mirrors like mm9... i'm just impressed XD
-
Haven't been keeping up with your themes, Jimmy. Shame on me! I'll be sure to check 'em out, and perhaps leave some feedback.

The stage design looks nice, but I'm not impressed with the RainBow Man lasers & mirror trap. Did you get permission from Phil to use this for the game?
-

He needs permission from Phil to use a preexisting game mechanic, that has even been used within the series in question before? Laughable.
-

actually, N-Mario is kinda right, well is just a muck up screen, but, since Phil put A LOT of effort on designing those, i guess you should came up with something more original but still in the lines of the stage and the Robot masters, like how about, a mirror tile that "directs" a light laser in diagonal that hurts you and changes direction a la yoku blocks?
-
Em .... I can intervene and suggest a bit silly idea?
How about the use of movable mirror blocks, which will reflect the laser, and thus, destroy them?
-

I bet the X6 team put a lot of effort into Shield Sheldon stage too. Maybe Phil should be asking X6's team for permission to use the idea.
Completely laughable, as if Phil somehow invented age old game concepts. Are you people some kind of mindless cult for Phil?
-
MMU is the inspiration/template for several of the current WIP Mega Man fan projects, so...
I'm sorry to say that, as a result, it's being treated as the greatest thing since sliced bread. Even though it technically brings few new things...:|
-
Like somebody said, I did not copy Phil's idea here in its entirety. (is this even a word? X) )
as some of you may know, MM72 exists longer than just a couple of months, and the idea of Mirror man's stage using Lasers similar to Quick man's was brought up a really long time ago.
I admit that we got that idea from Phil's rainbow man video, but so what? it's not like we just use his lasers or graphics, or that we lead them run through a prism to spread all over the place.
In addition, the lasers isn't the only thing you will see in Mirror's stage.
To the guys saying its like a "sheldon" stage from MM6, may be, I never played that game so any similarities are unintentional. -.-
There's another thing i'd like to say: This here is a fan game created by fans for the fans and i am pretty dang sure the same can be said about MMU, so why all the fake competion-making?
I do not see MMU as a competition to MM72, in fact, I'd say the more well-crafted fan games the better!
So guys, please for the sake of peace and unity and whatever, simply accept that messing with death lasers isn't something that cannot be used by several people.

What other gimmick can you do with lasers? I really want to know...

Spectroscopy.

...just out of curiosity, how can that be used in game?
-
By the power of imagination.
-
...I never noticed you had a sence of humour
-
One of the games, I could have sworn, had lasers that went off of things. Like Lurch said, we thought up of using something like Quickman had with the idea of implementing something having to do with mirrors, thus, lasers bouncing off of of mirror thingos.
-

I SO miss this game. :'(
-
Okay, now that the waved here have calmed down a little bit, i think its time for me to post another, more developed preview picture of Mirrorman's very sciency looking stage. (and cause this is just a mockup, none of the tile and enemy placement here is stationary)
(http://i34.tinypic.com/2uidk0k.png)
Usually I use 2 palettes for the bg but for his stage, I thought that 1 would be totally enough, so i got 1 to spare for the death lasers, overall :)
speaking of lasers, the reflector enemy got changed into some sort of security guard robot, directing the laser (which is part of a security system altered by mirror man) all over the place.
I tried to come up with all sorts of sciency stuff for the bg and i am still doing more, the stage is supposed to take place inside a laser research facility afterall. ( fun fact, laser beams gain their streinghth by getting reflected back and forth through a pipe filled with a special type of matter)
A lot of the bg tiles will flash in and fade to black to keep things interesting and in motion.
I hope you enjoy this so far, i think it beats the old mock-up by a longshot :D
-

You shouldn't forget that when death lasers regularly appear; the background is made all black. You don't have to stick to the same four palettes throughout the stage, you can have areas with all of them, with less, and palette swap when appropriate.
Also, on a different note, with those enemies on screen the yellow tone should be the exact same as Rock's skintone. In fact, I don't see how you could have such a minuscule difference; the NES palette in general, as well R9/10's, doesn't have so many different colors.
(http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g295/ZanSidera/R9R10pal.gif)
-
hmm I was using the very bright yellow that i also used for the shiny tiles, but i think that using the skintone rock has for his face might work even better and make it look a bit more authentic, so thanks :)
in fact, with the enemies being blue and brightly yellow, both of them could use rock's shade of blue, too!
-
in fact, with the enemies being blue and brightly yellow, both of them could use rock's shade of blue, too!
There's no need for that, they need a shade that fits them, not necessarily Rock's. Remember that Rock can change his colors by special weapon use, thus his primary palette is completely separate from anything that isn't a bolt, E-tank, extra life or weapons energy.
-
oh yeah,i totally forgot about that. ^_^
-
double post to show you a new mock up of mirror man's stage, this time I wanna show you some more BG tiles i made.

Hey Guys, just letting you know that we are currently re-doing the old tilesets and enemies to look a lot sassier than before ;)
I finished redoing all of gamble man's enemies yesterday. I tried to stick with the NES limitations as best as i could (at least i hope i did ;) )
so yeah, here are the redone enemies:
Grande Roulette:
(http://i37.tinypic.com/o529o3.png)
A brighter color scheme, better lighting and overall clearer drawn.
Biso-Bot:
(http://i36.tinypic.com/35m4m0j.png)
again, clearer lines, brighter colors etc. He also uses the same palettes Grande roulette uses.
Same also counts for the mid-boss of gamble man's stage,
Gamble Machine:
(http://i33.tinypic.com/ega35d.png)
That's all for the gamble man enemies. the G-man himself currently gets a facelift, too.
But before i finish him, i decided to tackle one of saw man's enemies.
remember this guy? :
(http://i34.tinypic.com/2u44s9y.png)
I wanna be honest here, that truck really looks ugly. i cannot stand looking at it, so, again, it was facelift time and i present you the new Saw-Dozer!
(http://i37.tinypic.com/anzsee.png)
I used clearer lines for that one, the overall design is better thought out and it uses saw man's palettes.
I hope you like those reworked enemies :3
-
I like everything among those enemies. It's just the SawDozer is probably scaled up so it's hard to get a good idea of what he looks like at normal size but yeah, those are cool ^_^
I liked the original truck too.
BTW you can do whatever you want with lasers in MirrorMan's stage. I don't own the concept of re-directing lasers ( :

-
The theme for GambleMan is really good.
-
yeah i like it too :)
also, the rails in the background are for a specific kind of platform that's not done yet, just thought i might add this :)
-
Since you guys didnt get an update lately - heres the new GambleMan outdoor BG that we worked on.
Enjoy.

only a recommendation, put a park like magic man stage instead of the mountains. thoses mountains are so...
-
Makes me think of a casino in like, Nevada or something. (Nevada has mountains right?)

I used to live in the west slope foothills of those! XD

Not too surprising that Gamble Man would set up in Las Vegas, Nevada. That city is considered a playground for adults and is often known as "America's closet". You ever hear the phrase "Whatever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas"?
-
yeah, I am also familiar with the saying
"We cannot stop here!
this is bat country!"

Fear and Loathing. Nice.
You just became 100,000x cooler in my book, man! ^.^

that's the power that this movie has ;)
-
Bat country? I thought that was Texas (or at least I thought so when I watched Rollergirls).
-
How come Distort Man has Vile's shoulder cannon and Starforce's Buster? or is it just a little cameo thing?
-
Those are references to other Mega Man series, yes. He won't use those in-game, of course.
-
Just a question,
Is Saw Man related to Metal Man? -_-
-
No. He has nothing to do with Metal Man, as Saw Man was built by an unknown party.
His very existence is due to HKLurch18 being a big fan of Metal Man, really. >U<
-
Awww :'(

Aww. that would have been fun WTF moments. Like "DID HE JUST SHOOT ME WITH VILE'S CANON!?"

So, where do I begin with what probably is going to be a pretty long post after quite a long time?
An apology might be the best way to start.As some of you might have noticed I pretty much disappeared, like, 2 month ago without leaving a trace, even removing the videos of MM72 from youtube and, what you do not know, kicking Deviant art and this side out of my bookmarked web-sites as well. Leaving you guys uninformed for such a long time was rather rude and that's what I want to apologize for.
now, off to the main topic and I guess that you guys already saw this coming, but here it is, straight from the big one's mouth:
Megaman 72 is now officially dead.
At least for the guys over at 72dpi.com, including my very self.
Personally speaking, things have changed a lot since i graduated from school, but just blaming these changes would not be the full truth. another reason besides my new activities is the lack of actual lust to continue this. So many hours went into MM72,time i could have invested in a far better way. At least this is what i have realized over the last couple of weeks and i am glad i did.
I realized that what I did was pretty much pointless. sure, there were nice components to spriting and all, like meeting a couple of new guys via the internet, but in the long run this simply wasn't worth it compared to the stuff i do nowadays in my spare time.
I cannot speak for the other guys who worked on this but i am pretty sure they enjoy being rid of the burden that was this fan project.
However, i still got everything we worked on on my harddrive. If anybody wants to pick this project up as it is now and steer it into a direction he or she wants to, feel free to contact me so i can give you what we have accomplished in those 1 and a half year of spriting,composing, etc.
With best regards,
Tim

Well that's very sad news, since you were one of my only hopes to ever experience multiplayer Megaman platformer, but well rl is rl, can't have time for everything. I would pick up the project if I knew that it would move somewhere in my hands, like it probably wouldn't, since I have similar problems with mine, only in way that I am the only one who probably has time for it.
Anyway, I wish you best luck at whatever you will do and thanks for showing us how should good fangame look like. :)
-
I'm very saddened to hear that, Lurch. :( It would have been nice if this tribute to Florian Hufsky was made, but that's the way things go, I suppose. It can't be helped.
But still, I'm rather thankful of the time I've spent with you and the rest of the MM72 crew. This experience helped me hone my storytelling skills, which I'm thankful for. I'll certainly put them to good use in my 2nd home, the Time Tangent Team. ;)
That said, I wish you good luck with life and your bright future ahead of you. Auf wiedersen, my friend, and fight for everlasting peace! owob

Sorry to be the cold one but can the Moderators please lock this topic, considering that Mega Man 72 is dead?
