Megaman X RPG: Chapter 2 Update

Hey everybody, sorry I've been absent for so long. Being an LT in the Army is something of a... how shall we say this - a time suck. In other words, the days are long and the spare time is fleeting.

On the plus side, all the hard parts are finished. ALL OF THEM. And it fucking took forever. To recap:

The upgrade system: DONE.
The battle engine: DONE.
Sprites animations: DONE. (Mostly, like 85% done)
The platform engine: DONE.
Item/Weapon creation system: DONE.
Everything else: MOSTLY DONE.

The only things left to make unfortunately take a lot of fine tuning, namely the story and level design. And I'm in the process of putting together a test demo for balancing issues. I know I've been saying that for months now, but I really mean it this time. The new battle engine is REALLY damn cool but I'm sure the Upgrades need some tweeking. Give me one more month and it should be put together.

P.S. - I just wanted to thank Laughinbox for supplying me with item/weapon descriptions. It was a massive task and it took him months, but he came through and saved me a ton of time. And again, thank you to everybody who has left me feedback the past year or so. This game (when it is finally finished) is for you. =D

OMG YOU ARE ALIVE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME INVESTMENT!

ChamberACR 2010-07-20 19:11:15

lol - THANKS! Still here; still working.

... it's good to have fans =D

Good to hear Chapter 2 is on the way.

Chapter 1 was one of the most well made RPGs I have played on here.

I do have some concern if some updates are made to the upgrade system. Will most of the upgrades from Ch. 1 pass on to Ch. 2?

ChamberACR 2010-07-20 19:22:27

There are 75 different Upgrades for Chapter 2, and I wanna say about... 20 or so made the transition (albiet, most of them are heavily modified). Since data carries over from Chapter 1, all the points will be reimbursed and reset to 0 so no harm no foul =D

Angrypitfiend 2010-07-20 20:00:14

Chapter 1 was AMAZING! I'd also like to thank you for investing so much of your free time just so us Newgrounders could play your brainchild - something which you weren't even paid to make. Unless you plan to use those advertisements. But anyway, thank you! <3

MegaDan 2010-07-20 20:50:41

Yay! You are back & ALIVE! I knew if we talked about you being dead enough, you'd come back sooner! Umm... Maybe that's a bit morbid Hmm.... Anyway good to see you back! Also, did you figure out a level cap from CH1 to CH 2? I know @ least 1 person is near lvl 100! Talk about ownage! LOL

Laughingbox 2010-07-21 10:37:42

Wait, so he really IS alive? And he made a post? Where was I when this happened!? And when the heck did Chamber become a freaking lieutenant?

Oh well. Regardless, the game is pulling through and we're going to have probably the largest and most complex RPG on Newgrounds since... Ever. I'm fairly sure that everyone here will be pleased by the upgrades and equips. Yes, I'm that guy that did the massive amounts of weapon descriptions. I hope you're all happy that I saved Chamber some time. xD

Anyways, I'd say its time to get get ready for a mega über-launch of this epic game. How large is it again..?

ChamberACR 2010-07-21 10:37:42

Uh, well, I'm going to see if Fulp will give me another extension, but if not, it should come in at around 15 MB.

CyberRPG 2010-07-21 12:37:46

I SOOOOOOO CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

Dereksilavong 2010-07-21 17:10:37

actually mardek 3 will, it came out but hey i love megaman more so i would say this is better, and whats the problem of site users not using other sites cause they don't like them or don't want to use a different site

Dereksilavong 2010-07-21 17:28:44

I have an idea maybe giving certain battlechips to a character will give them an option to become a different form except megaman would have a lot of those since megaman can become fire ice etc anyway thats my idea

izard1997 2010-07-22 21:58:37

ONE MONTH finally an estimate thank god glad its almost done cant wait

ChamberACR 2010-07-22 21:58:37

The test demo should be ready in a month; the second chapter should be ready a few weeks/months later (depending on the glitches/balancing issues) people find.

xlwinglx 2010-07-23 11:25:18

the anticipation for this is amazing! greater than most games on the market and this is free and just flash! simply amazing

ChamberACR 2010-07-23 11:25:18

So much pressure! lol

kwjw 2010-07-24 02:38:39

GOOD JOB!!!!! i cant belive that so many peolpe are helping u! i'll be in the top 10 first beta testers!!! THIS IS WORTH THE WAIT!!!!!!

MegaDan 2010-07-30 14:03:18

I asked this earlier: Have you decided on a level cap for starting Ch.2? I hope this week has been great for you!

zx987 2010-07-30 15:41:53

u should add have added hyper x and zero i know they have a hyper form not sure about axl

IamSooty 2010-07-31 14:37:54

Ahhh! I was just thinking about this. I'm glad you managed to work on this despite your work.

P.S. Nice bod lol

Zhoin 2010-08-02 17:31:43

lol hi im new on newgrounds and i just played Chapter 1 a few hrs ago and have gotten to level 30 *got very addicting* and i have to say this is one of the most advanced Flash Game i've ever played. Nice Remake of Command Mission "totally different but somewhat familiar even though it not suppose to be remake of Command Mission" The 2nd Chapter will gurantee worth the wait in full extension of Combat i Hope?. I Hope to play it very soon :D. Also to all the Comments and Fans, Kind of dramatic and little silly much dont u think? "ur comments" lol no offense but yea... GL take ur time and Ignore all those weird comments/pressuring/annoying/threaten ing :D.

Zhoin 2010-08-02 17:36:34

O Yes @zx987 All 3 Heroes have a Hyper Form
It would be wonderful if u could have Added some of the Favorited Command Mission People into the game Maybe at least Spider and Marino?
Although u have TONS and TONS of things to work on
Would be such an impressive improvement to have Sprites of them.

Dereksilavong 2010-08-02 22:19:01

Im good with spider being it he was my favorite character when you get past the evilness of him

Dereksilavong 2010-08-03 19:55:38

18 more days i think

Zhoin 2010-08-03 23:47:21
