MegaMan 72

[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:



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

Lol,Most Overused MEME.

... I'm strangely reminded of George of the Jungle now. (Avatar, I mean. )

... And awesome gif.

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


Also.... Elephant!

Well, that depends...

[HKLurch18]

- LAAAAAaaaa-

And it's a Plunger

thanks for your kind responses!

[Stardius]

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 

And how could I take plunger for vacuum cleaner? Probably that little curved handle sort of mistified me

I just made a concept piece of Gamble Man's stage background.  Have a look-see!

WIN!

Looks pretty good on paper... Might get difficult to sprite.
Then again, I don't know anything about BG spriting...

[CadmiumRED]

Oh I forgot to add that this is where I got my idea from.  HKLurch can use this as well.

[HKLurch18]

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:

[Dr. Wily II]

So... What happens when it stops at the different icons?

[HKLurch18]

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!


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 =)

[Dr. Wily II]

I see... Very interesting concept for Slot Guy, as well as for Roulette Guy.

[Stardius]

Wow, I think I will hate this stage, because I always had terrible luck 

But those enemy designs are great.

[Sapphire✧9]

Interesting. I saw all of them before though .

[Flame]

So, Is roulette guy rigged...?

[HKLurch18]

So, Is roulette guy rigged...?

Well of course he is  óVó

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.

Just recently Kudos reminded me of checking the color limit of the select screen and I tried to reduce the colors down to 16



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?

EDIT: just saw that the select window adds the total number to 17, this will be fixed, of course

[Sapphire✧9]

Not only that but within color limits it looks even more beautiful than old one.

Posted on: January 24, 2010, 07:42:11 PMHmm. Its not 17, its 26 colors right now.

Sorry for editing but this should work. Change the colors to your likings. It is 16 right now.

[HKLurch18]

strange... perhaps there are some pixel mistakes which doube or triple some of the colors...

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
