So I was going to post this in the new users thread, but decided to take it here:
My problem with fan games, is 8-bit. It's everywhere. In the music. In the [tornado fang]ing look of the games, and even their feels.
Most of that [parasitic bomb] also remains unreleased, either due to "losing interest" or some kind of drama.
But... I really, really wish people stopped with this retarded "emulating the feel of [insert megaman game series here]" thing.
I mean, why not try doing a game with your own style of music?
Perhaps your own style of sprites?
Or heck, even using 3D Models?
And even if you want to have it 8-bit, why not make ALL sprites from scratch? I mean everything, in your own style? Even Megaman sprites.
But nooo... almost every Megaman fan game in existence now is either a copy of the NES era games, or some other copy-thing.
NO. SHRED. OF. ORIGINALITY.
This is my main problem.
Ageyman at least is doing something different with the whole 8-bit thing.
How many fan gamers can say they do that?
