Well, I decided to make my own MM fan-game. I'm using MMF2, and borrowing N64Mario's engine. (which is awesome, no?)


- Tileset images.
(Images to display some pixel-work, not actual screenshots.)

I don't seem to be getting much in the way of general noticed-ness, so I thought I'd set up a thread here for suggestions and whatnot. (Currently, I have nobody else assisting me in this.)

not bad, but you need to really work on the music department.

Wow this looks awesome, the programming is all very nice!

The only problem I can see as of right now is the music. If you want, I can help with composing and stuff. Games like this deserve a great soundtrack!

Mega Man -1? Seriously? Is that all that you can think of? So is it supposed to say "negative 1" or just 'megaman one'?
No offense. Maybe I just don't see the meaning of the title you chose. ;)

In any case, game looks good. Although it looks like there seems to be a few glitches with the moving platforms. From what I can tell it looked like megaman was either falling from a particular spot of the platform, or trying to jump off it but couldn't?

Also, the movement pattern of that platform seems familiar. Were you trying to recreate Dr.Cossack stage 2 style platforms?

In the way of composing music, yeah, I'm not very skilled. I guess I could use some help with that when the time comes.
(The reason I was borrowing other video game music to use in 8-bit form was to draw similarities to Mega Man ROM hacks that do the same [Wily's Dream Space is my favorite example of this.])

I chose the name "Minus One" partly because of other fan-games using numbers 11, 12 and so on, although I could tie it somehow to the idea of the plot, which involves Roll, Auto and the others turning against Mega Man.

As for the platform, the short frames of falling was just a bug I'm working on.
While I see that it does resemble the Cossack 2 platforms, I wanted it to return to its original Y-position instead of continuing to rise.

Hmm...... This sounds a bit familiar as to what Phil is using for one of his own platforms. X_X

Music guessing time. ^^;

Kid Icarus: Stage 2 Overworld

Kirby Super Star: Game Select

Correct; although, the idea of it being recognizable will probably be the point, most of the time in MM-1.

Just so I'm not posting empty-handed, I got cracking on another tileset attempt.



Some critique would be most appreciated.

I'll level with ya: They're actually recolored Heat Man lava tiles.
But hey, flowing lava is flowing lava.

Bump time.
Here's some (beta) gameplay footage.

Aside from that, filling some tileset orders for others is what kept me from working on this.

Looks cool. I like what the mid boss could be.

Music is sweet too.

It would probably be nice to credit RushJet1 for the music.

you know, that shaky effect could work inside the volcano, especially if you add some lava lake >w<

The Booming Note, Sound Man's weapon, will be similar to the Tornado Blow and Rain Flush; a high energy-using weapon that clears many enemies in the screen.

Anyway, amongst other businesses, I have come up with one thing... It's a boss spoiler image, though, but y'know.

Dont Know, that "Boss" needs better shading and less darker colors, not to mention play better with the proportions

Anyone wanna see Kite Woman's stage tileset?



(Took me a bit before I found out that each of a NES's 8 4-color palettes has to share one common color.)

Another showcase of MM-1 programming: some enemies.

It's not much, but I personally think the enemy designs are one of the most enjoyable things to see in Mega Man games.
