Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Hey everybody! I'll be graduating from OCS in about two weeks now and will be pinning on 2LT rank shortly thereafter. That being said, I can once again pursue my hobby of making my kickass megaman RPG's series once again! Woot! I have a list of improvements I've been slowly integrating into the original game engine. I'll be talking about those improvements more as the game moves further along development. Thanks for all the support over the past 6 months; I promise the next chapter will be bigger and better. If anybody wants to contribute to this project, I'm always looking for animators/spriters/background artists.

Thanks as always,
- "Chamber"

I can make some sprites if you ever need me to. I can also make backgrounds if you give me enough time.

Sweet. I found the first chapter to be awesome. Here's to the success of the second! Best of luck to you.

Oct. 18, 2009 | 3:22 PM Mastermind475 says:

yes please do make a second

I highly recommend your skill and patience for creating that masterpiece

the first was flawless but short

please make the second just as excellent but with more music

but are you completely certain about the reusing saved data from the first game?

for one that is flash programming nightmare

second how will that change the second game?

will the enemy levels scale in a linear fashion?

or will be like a New Game+ feature where the saved equipment makes the game too easy (breathing on people with your buster cannon kills them)

please PM your response

Lists. Everybody love lists.

1.) I try and cram in as much music as humanly possible. This is not easy, considering most music files are like 3 MB and not designed to loop. I actually had to create a side program for looping purposes and incorporate it into the game engine. Also, even with compression, most music files are still relatively large; therefore, to meet the size limitations of Newgrounds, I can't include TOO much music.

2.) Yes, the transfer file feature works. I've tested it a bajillion times, but it's not really user friendly. This is just the nature of the beast; Flash is not designed for this type of interfacing. However, I've included a walk-through to make the process as painless as possible.

3.) The second game has a lot of subtle changes, but the game engine itself is still more or less the same so it will play similar to Chapter 1 and it's predecessors. I'll work on ironing out a few more kinks to make it better, but it won't be drastically different. Much more content will be added, though, er, assuming I can get a MB cap increase from Tom here.

4.) Enemies will scale to match the player in SOME areas, but some bosses and areas will have their level preset by me. I like making hard bosses because it challenges the player to be creative. There are so many ways to make your characters ridiculously powerful, and I want to see that when people tackle the bosses.

5.) I haven't decided on how I'm going to handle level caps from Chapter 1 to Chapter 2. Honestly, I didn't expect people to go beyond, say, level 15, but some people have their characters maxed out completely. I'll reveal more details on how I'm going to handle this dilemma later.

Hope that helps!

Wow. I didn't expect to see you again. What about the mission pack you were planing? Just out of curiosity. Well, can't wait.

Oct. 19, 2009 | 4:10 PM ChamberACR responds:

I wanted to make a Mission Pack add-on before I left for the Army, but instead I focused on the new features that would be included in Chapter 2. For example, instead of 25 upgrades, Chapter 2 has 75 to mix and match from (all existing configurations will be refunded when you transfer files). In fact, a lot of time was focused on making sure that the small complains from Chapter 1 were fixed. Items, for example, are now separated into groups so as there is no confusion as to what does what. Basically, I've been focusing on making sure the little things work first before just adding on my "stuff." When the project is finished, I think it'll show that I prefer quality over quantity.

I wanted to ask you something about chapter 1.Am I supposed to keep stuff like gizmondo,ragged doll, sword of 1001 truths, and companion box or am I supposed to sell those for money

Oct. 22, 2009 | 12:51 AM cabosed says:

Well it's nice to see that your back, hope you find a job soon so you don't have to go back to the army. It's such a pain trying to pay college tuition on just on federal aid.

Oct. 25, 2009 | 9:46 AM SS4FlameAlchemist says:

I really wish I had some stuff to contribute. Actually, I just might. I do have X, Zero and Axl voices from X8, and some X and Zero sounds from MMX6. Not much, but if you want them, you can pm me. It's about all I can contribute. I love your game.

Oct. 25, 2009 | 6:53 PM Dereksilavong says:

oh plus i wish i could contribute but i cant

Oct. 26, 2009 | 7:42 PM Dereksilavong says:

oh one last question how come i cant transfer data from chapter 0 to chapter 1

Oct. 27, 2009 | 8:38 PM patrick66 says:

Yeah!

Oct. 30, 2009 | 10:13 PM SS4FlameAlchemist says:

Found a glitch. Sometimes when attacking, or using special techniques, the lag sometimes causes an extra hit. I have most noticeably noticed this when attempting to steal, since it sometimes the lag causes it to attack twice, or sometimes during a overdrive. Thought I would let you know.

Oct. 31, 2009 | 4:50 AM Dereksilavong says:

maybe yu should add a transform button and i dont know change into something

I LOVE YOUR MEGA MAN GAME IT AWSOME I GREW UP WITH MEGAMAN WHEN I WAS 6 YEARS OLD! MEAG MAN RULS!!!!!!!!!! GOOD JOB

Nov. 1, 2009 | 10:24 PM mloloya1 says:

Hi and welcome back!
We are all awaiting your next masterpiece :D
With that said, I do have one concern and that is the strength of some spells. For example there were spells such as heatwave, which did ridiculous amounts of damage for very little sp. Are you planning to take account of this issue or should we simply avoid using these spells if we want to keep it challenging.

Thanks again.
