Megaman 72 is back

[HKLurch18]

Hello Guys, it's me, Lurch, and I am glad to announce that Megaman 72 is back on track.

I left the project a while ago and I am sure that many of you considered MM72 to be gone with me, but luckily my good pal MSX still kept working on it. He even found an amazing coder  for our project, who some of you guys may know under the name "Snikkabo".
Anyways, I rejoined the project again and we are having our comeback on RPM, now!
(I hope you don't midn that we opened a new thread for the sake of organization and stuff)

We have some other new additions as well! hfbn2 was so kind to help us out with some great tiles for both Distort and Saw man's level.
Other additions and plans for the project are a 2-Player Coop mode (Off and ON-line!), 3 playable Characters, every one with a different playstyle (Megaman, protoman, Bass) as well as several modes and Gamepad support.

For more detailed information, please visit us on our forums!

I really wish I could help. But I suck at spriting, even when I try.

I lurk around the 72 forums sometimes (since I'm not registered) just to take a look at your progress.  ( :
Tell me if you need help or if you need critique for your stuff...

Old Proverb: Good works never die. Welcome back, Megaman 72 Team.

[Blackhook]

I wonder which of the retro Megaman fanprojects will end up being actually finished...Well, I wish you good luck

I heard that MM72 is going to recruit a new composer and kevvviiinnn refused it.

Is that true? If yes, then I may be of some help.

Oh yes, I have listened to some of your tunes as well! You got style, man! Groovy 

[MSX]

Thank you all for the positive responses, this time I'm presenting you a new enemy!  

The Wheeler
-REMOVED-

Heres a short description of how he works:

The Wheeler enters the screen from the right and moves at medium speed to the left.
He jumps over a player, just to turn around and dash back to the right at a faster speed.
He is only vulnerable in the back.

Happy Anniversary, Rockman 72!

Yeah, so two years already...
With this anniversary I will announce that Mirror Man's level will be the first one to be implemented into the engine.
Here are some popular Questions that I will answer:

Q: When will Megaman 72 be released or when can we expect to get a demo?
A: Well, Megaman 72 does not have a release date yet, it is too far from completion,
and we decided not to give you guys a demo untill we have found most bugs and balanced everything for your enjoyment.

Q: Why did you choose Mirror Man and not someone else?
A: We decided to go with Mirror Man first because of his tileset being the most polished and good-looking.
It gives us on the spriting department more time to get the other tilesets equally good-looking as Mirror Man's.

Q: Does this mean that we will see a video of Mirror Man's level first?
A: Yes, Mirror Man's level will be the first one to be shown in action through YouTube.

Q: What happened to Buzz Man, wasn't he supposed to be the first one released?
A: That was the plan, but there's something I'm not willing to reveal to you guys just yet, so you will have to wait and see. >

Q: Will Megaman72 really include online co-op?
A: That was the idea, but we will focus on getting the normal co-op and even the game finished before we decide.
It is possible to add an online mode, but that would push the release date alot, because online takes alot of work to implement.

Q: Will there be any DLC (Downloadable Content)?
A: Yes, but we will still focus on the game itself and finish it before revealing what we will include in the DLC.

Two years sounds alright to me.

Seeing how most ambitious projects never get released I'd say take whatever time it takes as long as you release.
