View Full Version : Mega Man X: Battle Network
Some of you (very nice people. :D) Have commented on most of these in the music topic I had in Smeg. I decided to convert to a more easily accessible format, and just make a topic for the game as a whole. So far I'm on my own, spare one special guest musician and two possible spriters (stilll being screened), so any help is vastly appreciated. There is no release date as of this time, as quality is FAR more important than a quick fix.
As of April 2, 2007, all shown here was made by me only unless otherwise specified.
A very short snippit of story can be found here.

Would you mind posting some of the story of this game? I'm curious as to the details.
I will link it. Typed up as it was orginally written, in Script, because that's easiest for me to read.

MAYBE some spoilers, but shouldn't be anything TOO serious. If you have any in-depth questions beyond what this covers, by all means feel free to ask!

Give them a new look since Battle Network is in a different dimension than the X, Z, ZX, and classic series.
I'm considering that also, but I REALLY like this style...Besides, I know it sells, so why fix something if it isn't broken? (Not that I'm selling, that'd be evil)
Besides, I think it would be very difficult to make the game in a new style; people would not be accustomed to it, and if it's TOO strange it will certainly decrease downloads.
I am going to design them differently than the old bosses though.
Wow, this sounds like its gonna be a lot of fun! :)
I really hope so, I'm putting all kinds of effort into it. I have so many ideas!
Reminds me of me. I always have tons of ideas that I wish I could put down on paper or use them in a game.
I'm writing a book soon. I hope it turns out really well.

I did some X overworlds, Axl overworld, and Zero overworlds. They all have new looks, besides Zero. He has his MMZ look. I didn't do actual running animation and buster firing animations. I don't really plan on it either.
Groovy! Think I could see later? I all ready have a design in mind for X, but I'm interested in what you did for the others.

Hm, this idea has been done to death, though a game? I'd like to see a demo.
Oh yes, I was supposed to find the link to the overworld movement demo...I'll do that now, I apologize.
On a somewhat related note: I made a google page. This way I can make updates without having to worry about post restrictions and the like, and I can organize things more easily.
http://arrow1a.googlepages.com/home
The page is dedicated solely to this game. So far it contains only what you see here in this topic.
EDIT: Here you go. It's going to be a very long time before the next one I think...

Notice: Turn down your volume.
hey man if you want i can help you out with the designs for the bosses.
I want to do the major characters myself, I've been refining their designs for quite some time now, but I would gladly accept anything else. I still need operators (ALL of them, lesser maverick operators included), NPC's, etc, so yeah! Feel free to do them, but I call the expensive meat. :D
I tried the demo, everything runs fine, can I do anything but walk around in that room?
I'm sorry, but that's all there is...The programming takes a lot of time, especially when you are the only one who really knows how to do GML code AND wants to work on the dang thing at the same time... :\
Well, since my project is at a standstill right now, I'll be willing to help.
An another BN game? *Sight* An new style would bring MORE downloads.. isn't everyone bored of these mmbn fangames? (BTW. they almost never end complete)
The game doesn't work for me. Some error about the file is missing...
Well, you have to put the game folder in your program files, or it won't be able to find the music.
I realize it may be a cliche idea, but I intend to make good with it.
@R-Mega Man: That'd be pretty cool. Previous example of your work?
Whenever it says file missing I just click ignore and it works :D!
HI. I haven't been posting much, but it's because I've been BUSY. I am still working on this game, I PROMISE. Not much coding work has been done, but sound and concept art is booming. I should have all of the characters' designs mapped out before the end of my sophomore year, which quite honestly makes me extremely excited. I'll be updating the page at the beggining of next month with about ten new designs at least, but I'll give you a taste now. I picked this one because it's the first I've colored...EVER...And I know some are looking forward to an end for Forte's storyline.

oO!
Wow, your a really good arteest :D!
Vile & Forte smushed together...O.o
AAAAAAAAaaaaaahHAHAH!!
That's awesome.
Vile is his own man in this game though, I assure you. :D
The game will also include Dynamo (in a quite unexpected way, actually), Alia, The X-Hunters, Double, Hi-Max, and Layer. May include more later.
I'm looking for a navi from this series..Can i use Armored Armadillo?
...I don't believe I follow what you are asking me?
Well,do you need cameos? Or you got the operaitors all down? Some games(Like Model Royale) have cameos.
Terry von Feledae
19-04-07, 00:28
Wait. You ask if you could use a character from the game to submit him?
Okay, now I'm confused.
Oh, and MR consists mostly of cameos!
I'm asking that you could submit minor cameos..Or in a part of the story that..Forget it..
Oh, and MR consists mostly of cameos!
A cameo role or cameo appearance (often shortened to just cameo) is a brief appearance of a known person in a work of the performing arts, such as plays, films, video games and television. Such a role needs not be filled by an actor: short appearances by film directors, politicians, athletes, and other celebrities are common.
Those aren't really cameos, they're playable characters, they don't just appear in the background for no reason. (Dr. Willy in MvC would be a cameo)
On topic: Why would Forte be in MMX: BN, that makes no sense, he's never appeared in the MMX universe. Nice art nonetheless though :D
AH, but that's the thing. The major mavericks are completely sentient entities, totally unreliant on a human operator. Sigma's goal is to destroy the humans, so it wouldn't make much sense for them to have a human tether now would it?
EDIT: Someone asked me to finish Forte's storyline. The MMX:BN story takes place after Lan dies. Forte is still the internet monster, and *thing I won't spoil* causes all existing navis to either go into a sort of stasis, mutate, evolve, or die a horrible, painful, and lengthy death. The Forte you see there has mutated via his ability to absorb power. When *thing* hit the area of the net he was in, he merely transcended to the next level. He will stillbe a secret, optional boss, but when you meet him in this game it will most likely be for the last time.
@DDR:For your information:That is Vile.
@Arrow-1: Forget about this "Cameo" thing and move along..
@DDR:For your information:That is Vile.
...No, it's Forte, mutated by the killer wave from *spoiler*.
EDIT: I never posted this? Wow, scatterbrained. Tis is the first concept for the titlescreen's background. The sillhouette is of a replicate of Dynamo's program in a copybot. These copybots are the main real-world enemies.
http://img329.imageshack.us/img329/3414/titleonepg7.png
That looks really cool. Nice work. What program did you do that on?
Drew it on notebook paper, scanned it, and photoshopped it. :D
Awww... Photoshop..... (I wish that I could afford that)
I only got PaintShop Pro, but that's pretty good for photo stuff and Graphic makeovers.
Still that is realy cool.
Oh I didn't buy it. That's just silly. I got it from an art teacher I had. Ask around, people love to share things if you ask nicely. :D
Well, that'll do it, but I don't go to a normal school, so pretty much no one I know one the darn thing. :D
(I go to a private school)
Yeah,m and I have a problem scanner. It doesn't want to work very often too, so getting things scanned in and attempting to color them is a very rare occasion.
Well, I know of one other place to get it, but I think I'd get in trouble for posting it here. It's a perfectly safe site, but it does have a link that gives you the program for free.
Well, That would be cool.
(So, are you gonna remix Zero's theme yet?)
I'm not sure. For two of his major plot points I'm using remixes of the final battle theme from Zero 4. I may still bring that theme in.

Zero's RMX1 theme pwned.
Storm eagles did too.
Nah-nana!na-nana-naHHHHAHHHHHHH! Budumu Nah-naNAH!na-nana-naNAAAHHH!
baaaah budumi padapada! pa!padada! pada-panda! Pah! pudumi padapadah! pap-rikah! pada-ba-pah!
Yeah...
HAHAHA PAPRIKA!
I'm working on Dynamo's theme, but DANG the tempo is so weird...
Dynamo's theme is irritating me immensely.
So I started working on the final battle theme!
(work in progress, ends abruptly. Instruments drop out because there is no more music for them to play yet.)

I like that. A lot.
That's good to hear! I have a question though. I listened to it again, and the organ seemed sort of out of place...opinions on that?
EDIT: Also, I posted the wrong one. I'm fixing it now.
Ta-dummy.

It. sounds. AWESOME!!!
Though if it's his first form, shouldn't it sound a bit more, um, rockish? (If thats even a word >.>)
It does sound 'rockish', that's why I love it!
I can't wait to hear more music, and see the demo.
I'm still trying to decide on what to do for the second part...
Also: I've almost got the basic movement for the battle system down! It seems like so little, but for it to work the way it needs to it takes a lot longer than you would expect. I have to leave a lot of breathing room for color and terrain transformation variables, enemy checking, etc. Which, once you finally figure it out, makes the next couple of steps a lot of copy and paste, but you have to figure it out. ( 0__0) And for some reason, he keeps gravitating towards the top row on the red side... Much better than it was though. :D
