Untitled Mega Man fangame- Laser Man stage demo

This is a preview of a new Mega Man fangame I am currently developing using Game Maker 8. I've wanted to work on a Mega Man game for some time now, and I figured now would be as good a time as any to start given that I'm on an extended hiatus from working on Mushroom Kingdom Fusion.

It is still at an early stage, so it is still very incomplete. No bosses or special weapons have been coded yet, the enemies and objects still need fine tuning, and all of the music (apart from the Title Screen theme and likely the stage intro music) is just being used as placeholder until I manage to obtain custom music.
The one level shown, Laser Man's stage, is *mostly* finished, but will likely undergo several more changes and adjustments before it's really finished.

-Special thanks to Riverroad for lending me his source for his Mega Man: Day in the Limelight game to use as a base.

If you're looking for custom music, may I suggest Kevvviiinnn? He does a lot of custom Megaman-esque compositions.

@TheKoopakirby

He's also not taking requests right now, unfortunately.

In any case I'm not going to worry too much about music until I have more of the game completed.

[2pokepan]

also, are there gonna be other players you can unlock?

[LarsLuron]

@2pokepan: I don't currently have any other playable characters planned, but then I'm not going to worry about extras like that until later in development.

As for the enemies, yeah, most of them do have a distinct "laser" theme to them, but then I'm probably going to swap some out for other enemies or change them around.

This looks awesome!

I only have two questions

Will we be able to buy items with bolts like in the MM games, and will we get teh charge shot upgrade or not?

[LarsLuron]

@texanfan2777: I have no plans on implementing a shop feature. I'm going for a more "classic" style, where you have to find everything you want in the levels themselves.

There will be a Charge Buster, but not to start with- you'll have to find the adaptor for it in one of the levels (or more, if I decide to go with a "letter" system like Beat in MM5).

I don't know what Saryakan is talking about, this seems like one of the most legit levels I've ever seen. The stage has it's own puzzle mechanic, perfectly designed custom enemies, a mid-boss with classic fade in intro, damn dude. This stage could have come straight outta Capcom's pocket.

Wow, definitely you have to upload one of these previews in the MKF channel, I understand you're on a break but that doesn't mean you should abandon the forums too lol, I'm sure everyone will love this, seriously this it top tier, the quality is on pair with the original games, creative designs, enemies, good graphics, etc., it's really good, nice job.

[YoshiBrothers1998]

@LarsLuron thats actually quite cool adding the trigger lasers.

[mikeax24]

wait how come he sent you ditl? ive been looking for a good megaman engine, can someone send me one? need help on a projet

[TheTomShuffle]

This almost feels like an entirely new game!

[divisionByZer00]

hey keep it up man!

[09Thewilson]

Well done I can make poses of robot masters but i can't do animation if you want me to design the others standing and intro sprite poses I'll do that for you just get in touch. Check out my custom robot master sprite vid I will be doing more of them.

The only thing I can complain about is the laser sound. It gets extremely annoying VERY quickly, espcially if there's a bunch of them going off. I suggest that you change it, or take it out altogether.

[Crapcarp555]

I am officially impressed! Most of the fan games I've seen are complete utter shit, so it's great to see some actual effort put into a fangame for once. This stage here has got good enemies and even better placement of them, lovely mechanics that make the stage interesting and offer tons of potential to the design, a solid mid-boss, a beautiful tileset. Holy shit! This is fucking awesome sauce!

[KintaroOe1986]

OMG This is absolutly Awesome !!! Great ! Can you me please say which Programm you use ? On Google i didn´t find a Programm.

[Zieldak]

Some of the laser sounds are annoying.

But... A Security System? Wonderful! The most creative stage ever!

Keep up the good work!

[LtSarge]

When you release this let me know. I'll have my bud Manofonetitle who's a Huge Mega man fan do a run of it for you. Not to mention I'll give it a try out.
