View Full Version : Megaman: Power Trip
Hey all! I would like to introduce to you something that I think(and hope) might liven up the "fan games" section a little due to the lack of fan game demos. I have just released a demo of a new Megaman fan game called Megaman: Power Trip. I'm using The Games Factory to make this game. Please don't expect this game to suck just because it was made in the limited TGF. My goal is to make the(or one of the) best looking Megaman fan games ever made in TGF. It doesn't have much of a story so far, other than everybody's out to get somebody(Crappy, I know). But hey! This is just a demo to see if anyone likes it and to see if I should continue on with the development of the game. In the end, I'm going to try and get every character to either have unique special abilities and/or helpers. You'll have to forgive Rush for being in almost every level besides Megaman's. He won't be there next demo. I know the levels look the same. It's because of a lack of resources. The Mettools in this game are different than in other ones...THEY CAN FLY!!!.......No, not really, it's a glitch. I'll fix it sooner or later. If anyone would like to help, then be my guest. I'll definitely need help with spriting, but I'll take any help I can get. You can download the demo at http://freewebs.com/vcrock/games.htm. Please take the time to download this demo and let me know what you think. Thanks!:g-drop:
BTW, Here's a screenshot! Sorry if it's big.

Downloading the demo as we speak, so I'll let you know in a bit, screenshot looks a bit manic, but we'll see what it's like in action.
Oh yeah. If you die, just press "R" key twice to restart the level. I'll need to work on the level auto-restart. My bad.

Well I found a lot of glitches, here we go.
1 - more of an annoyance - the default folder is WINDOWS, which I dont like installing stuff to, and i'm sure others would prefer the desktop or Program Files.
2 - the character's profile pics when chosing a player are too stretched, and look bad.
3 - Mega Man jiggles about when shooting - i.e. his animation is messed up.
4 - when using the special attack on the Spacebar, Mega even changes bittage!
5 - umm I fell through the scenery, then turned invisible for a while, it was quite scary.
6 - recoil from being hit is massive! I went flying back miles, and when you jump you go twelve feet into the air!
7 - had a quick look at 2 player - All 3 vs. Protoman. Only Bass ran, everyone else just glided along, and there was too much friendly fire as all three, they kept killing each other.
I would have kept playing as other characters and trying further but it was too glitchy, it needs sharpening up before anyone can play it properly for a test.
Okay, you're right on a lot of things. There are a lot of glitches, but that's what tests are for. Okay, I'd like to say a couple of things in my defense, and/or to clear anything up.
1 - I can't really help what the default folder is. I'm sorry, I hate it too. I'd change it if I could.
2 - I know, I was thinking the same thing when I made it, but it was due to a lack of resources. I'll have to redo it.
3 - I know about this as well, and it annoys the everloving crap out of me that I can't stabilize some of the sprites.
4 - That special attack is useless. It is just a reserved spot for a special attack Megaman may have in the final game.
5 - Where and with who? (So I can fix it.)
6 - I know I'll have to fix that as well.
7 - At first, this was going to be nothing but a multiplayer Super Smash Bros. style brawling game, then I started turning more towards single player. And left the 2 player part alone. In the 2 player character selection menu, you are supposed to push fire 1 to select the character and the press "Enter" when everyone has selected a character. I'll have to fix that as well.
I appreciate your constuctive criticism, but is there anything in the game that APPEALED to you?? I know there are a lot of glitches. I'll need to work on them.

Oh theres plenty of appeal! I was just getting the bad stuff out of the way.
The idea of being able to play as a selection of characters is good, and the level designs are good too - not too basic, not too complex. I can see it's going to shape up to be a good engine, you know where the glitches are so it will be fine.
As for falling through the scenery - I was Mega Man and it was just past where the screen starts out - as the level moved along I fell and died, then went invisible or something.
I did like it honest, but I was just letting you know where the bugs were.
Aha! I know why you fell. It was an intentionally placed, hard to see trap door. And you fell for it!...or in it...whatever. lol. Like it?

I figured it was yet another glitch in the graphics - sorry to doubt, but it should be a bit clearer to see.
A'ight. No prob. Let me ask you a question. Do you think I should try out Gamemaker? Or are you not familiar with those programs? Another question(This one is for the public). Is there anyone who could help me with TGF programming?

Gamemaker is a very good program - people have made good Mega Man engines in it before, and I've used it a fair bit - I reccomend it.
Cant help with the TGF stuff though - never used it.
fun game yet I can't kill anything
edit: never mind anyways the treble shouls be 32 bit also bass fires in different directions here's cutman's damaged sprites I noticed thats one of the reasons he's incomplete man editing this post is annoying anyways here's that wierd falshy sprite you have bass for

shouldn't the rolling cutter come back
Hey, thanks for the sprites. You find those or make them? I'm actually working on the cutter. This is just a demo to see what people think about it. Plus, I hope to get some ideas from people.
Every time I play, it says that the DLL that was in the install folder isn't a "valid image" and doesn't open the game. WTF!?
Hey could you tell me all the playable characters for this game? I tried downloading it but it won't work on my comp. And I just wanted to know.

I'm not the only one with a situation.
Looks decent i couldn't play the demo though...
I made them and huzzah I didin't have to use the edit button
I found another Bug.
There is one part in the game where a met walks of the ledge,and walks in MID-AIR!

That happened for me too :( it makes me sad.
Nother Bug.
If I play as Cutman,and kill the first met,the explosion will follow me round,the when he blows up,I'LL GET SHOT!
It;s working for me, and I found a bug. When you load ProtoMans saber.....Megaman appears, and then you're megaman until you let go of the charged shot o.o
EDIT: Actually, there's a lot of problems with Protoman. When you shoot it turns to MEgaman. And..it's not Megaman he turns into...it's...X?!
Bug_
-
If I shoot the metol,while he's ducking,it'll spred in 10 diifrent ways.
Also,where did you get Bass yheme,I MUST have it.
Okay. Sorry haven't been on in a while. I'm using my psp to get online. I'm aware of most of the problems in the game, but it wasn't until after i spent an hour uploading the game to my site that I thought "Gee, I should probably fix those glitches." So, yeah...sorry. As for the .DLL error...I don't know. It does it on my computer, but not the family computer, so WTF here too. Sorry. I'll get to work on fixing what I can. BTW, some questions in the recent posts can be answered by reading earlier posts.
