View Full Version : MegaMan Battle Network - Zero Crisis
Well hello,
my name is Fox and im a RPG Maker!
I always was a great MegaMan-Fan espezially to the Zero and Battle Network Series.
After i finishes all of the Games i didnt want it to end... i wanted more, i had ideas but both Zero and Battle Network were finished, so...
i decided to make my own Battle Network meets Zero Videogame!
Now you probably will be thinking "that cant be good", but i believe, this game will "rock" your Fun-Gene!
Check it out, the name is:
MegaMan Battle Network - Zero Crisis.
http://foxclaw.de/img/titles/h1-mmbnzc.png
The Story takes part after the 6th game, consider it as somewhat number 7 of the series.
Im programming with a tool called "RPG Maker XP", which i completely modified to suit the Battle Network Style.
The game is still WIP (Work In Progress), i release new updates every now and then.
Now, for all of you who 1st want to see some material, i got some stuff right here for you:
http://foxclaw.de/mmbnzc-gallery.php
(This is a little picturegallery. Some pics are old tho, like the Character-Roster, which changed already.)
http://www.youtube.com/user/KitsuneTsume
This link leads to my YouTube account, which holds a bunch of gameplayvideos of my game (and others).
Ill put a newer video in here just for you guys:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEZr4ootKZA
For the ones who have seen enough or want to play right away, you can download it for free at my homepage:
http://foxclaw.de/megaman-network-crisis.php
You will need to have the "Commen RTP" installed to play!
The Link is also to find on my homepage:
http://foxclaw.de
And here's some more information, espezially for the oldgrown Battle Network fans:
- 1st at all, dont expect a whole 1:1 Battle Network game!
It still is kind of the same but if u look deeper, you'll find some differences, like the testers favorite: "why does GutsMans SonicWave go over holes???", the direct answer is: Because its hard to ballance a Battle Network where you can actually play ALL of the over 70+ Netnavis of the original games!!! So things like that are only to make the game more fair!
Also: Theres "no" Battle Chip Selection while Battle. Every NetNavi has its own preset, which he can use with energycost instead of having to go into menu. Makes a more flawless gameplay! + Its quite a little quicker than the original.

The game is WIP sinse middle 2009
Now, i hope to find / see people enjoy my game and giving theyre comments in here.
So for now, till next time and i hope y'all enjoy my game!
mfg
your Fox
ps:
im from germany, so dont argue about some wrong writing of mine ^^
what kind of rpg is it? is the battle system like the battle network one?
the game sounds pretty good because i didnt mind the bn series too much and the zero series was awesome(other than the ending.)(i cant download the game right now i will have to wait until later)
So is this a fighting game using the battle network style of battle? If yes than me very likey :D
It is currently. It's not quite bn style, since there aren't battlechips, but gameplaywise it's not bad. Still don't know how to use hell's rolling though.
Overall very well done. Just needs a readme.
EDIT:
Hey, so i decided to make the MoveList in english :P
Better that way, sinse we germans are mostly able to read it and for the internet its better anyway.

Fox
did you see my post at all? i just told you where to find some zero virus sprites and not just some zero virus sprites they are pd and most likely the best ones you will find. man you would think some of the people here only read there own posts or something.
er what? course i red ur post but what does that have to do with my new YouTube-video? i kinda dont get ur point...
or is it cuz i didnt respond r anything, in anyway, thx lol
I have a couple things you should do:
-Put the grid/panels at their normal size (for some reason, i don't like those square panels too much)
-And, you know when in the MMBN games, when, for example, a mettaur sends a shockwave, and before the attacks reaches the next panel, theres a yellow square/rectangle in top of it, kinda to warn you of the attack?
Well, i think you should put that here.
Keep in mind that these are just ideas, and you don't have to do it.
But, it's pretty well done!! :)

My Creation
Without Words...
http://www.foxclaw.de/temp/gospelreborn.gif
Uhm, All you did was make a not so effortful C+P + recolor of Gospel and Greigar. AMAZING. After Greigar's sprite was based on Gospel but made much better and full Body, you decided to stick Gospel's head on it and Recolor it to call it a new sprite. TRUELY WITHOUT WORDS.
yeah looks cool right? :P
but wow u hit me bad, especially with me just saying i made it, no that it took much of an effort, lol
anyway, gonna use that one for my game, call him GospelReborn, a fuse of both Gospel and Gregar controlled by Bass ^^

so, here i am again, just made some SPRITES for GravityMan.EXE, lookies:
http://www.foxclaw.de/temp/gravitymanexe.gif
and yes, I made this sprite (countering lern's last comment ^^)
i want to let him move a little different, this was just for testing purpose. He's also missing some marks on his shoulders, could be his Icon though i couldnt fetch a good look at it anywhere yet so i might just watch some of the TV Episodes for it and his eyes are supposed to be shiny.
i'll try adding as many characters as possible even if i have to create them all!
for Zero Crisis it self: its still WIP, though getting more and more closer to completeion, i'd say about 6 more months @ 3 more PreBeta.
Btw. i found somethn very useful... yes i might even say it: there is a small chance that i will add an ONLINE game mode! Yes! it will need some time to build in though and will most likely be bypassed via something like "hamatchi", though it might work!
so now, please leave comments at will :)

Don't rely too much on the anime shots. Their colors are usually duller. There are lots of little things I could fix for you unless you want me to help you improve the sprite.
Also, if that's your current title screen, I can make you a really great logo and title screen to replace it.
Yes, but to counter it, this looks completely out of style and needs a lot of work, so HAH.
First of all, reshade completely as it looks nothing like MMBN style, second, increase contrast by...a lot.
Third, make him look 3D, what you did was make him look 2D but have several layers of 2Dness. Don't completely darken the shading of the back-arm, and also give him a more energy look, it looks weird the way he is now unconnected.
Finally
Why is a gravity robot styled in a steampunk way?

Do not want.
That is one ugly creation, capcom. >.>
Hes actually like a floating round version of StoneMan.EXE.
And i like some differences in design ;)
Btw, i uploaded an updated version of his sprite, see in last post.
mfg
mega rock.exe
26-08-10, 21:26
It still needs a lot of contrast. Unfortunately mere concept art won't give you a good idea on how it should be shaded. The anime screens could give you the shape but not the color. Or I could fix the one frame for you.
I like your cooperation mega rock.exe but this is my job right here and a little shading wont be so hard. I might make him more red-ish but you are forgetting that he is round and can't have such hard-shading as like StoneMan.EXE would have. And of course his left arm shouldnt have that full shade but this is a typical design to show it is "behind" him also used on original Navis.

28-08-10, 01:18
I just checked and your sprite has 65 colors. It seems you don't understand the concept of a sprite yet.
There's a nice guide available (http://themechanicalmaniacs.com/guides/spriteguide.php) explaining the very basics. I already have the sprite fixed but I think you should know what you did wrong and why.
And what exactly are you trying to tell me?
I can use him as he is now or make him 65536 colors, it actually doesnt matter and anyway, he almost looks nice how he is now in my opinion...
Hey if ur talking about limits, my system is capable to even use alpha transparences and 64 bit, just to let u know.
But if you reeeally want to, just show me how u yould edit his colors then please.
Edit: Btw. the sprites are saved as png24 for my game.
And what exactly are you trying to tell me?
He is saying there are too many colors and that you need to remove some.
I can use him as he is now or make him 65536 colors, it actually doesnt matter and anyway, he almost looks nice how he is now in my opinion...
You can, but it is not neccessarilly a good thing to do so. While granted adding more colors can improve the quality of a sprite if it is too similar to colors you already have it doesn't help your sprite. It may even make it appear more like a Jpeg file.
Hey if you're talking about limits, my system is capable to even use alpha transparences and 64 bit, just to let you know.
Limits are there for a reason and that reason is to save game space. While you can add more colors it will make the game have a larger file size than needed. The goal in games, particularly fan-games is to have the highest quality for the least ammount of game space.
mega rock.exe
29-08-10, 00:51
That explains it nicely. You can start by picking 15 different colors the entire sprite is going to use. This should clean up the sprite and make you pick better colors.
ah yes, well looks like my demo ~20mb (+~2mb each comming version) wont be a capable filesize with already 60+ characters then compared to other demos like f.e. ChronoX (which is a good game, to call its name here ^^) has far more and is gameplaylike compared 1h.
did any of u play ZC yet? it actually has ALOT of colors and actually uses some JPEG images as backgrounds etc...
if theres 5 colors almost equal that could be reduced to 1, well... like i ment, it doesnt matter, we live in a higher bit area, guys.
anyway, i hope u dont take this as a fight, i than u for the advice but this is not linked to the debate... when saving it, ill let my program reduce it to the most nessesary amount of colors (auto).
anyway, ill try making some more positions, also have to make an attacksheet for him, thats gonna be funny, if u like you can give me ur idead of how he schould be attacking / playable ;)
mfg
Fox
oh... it may appear like a jpeg file? shouldnt colorconnects in weird boxes be more jpeg than that :P
Did any of you play Zero Crisis yet? It has ALOT of colors and actually uses some JPEG images as backgrounds etc...
You need to remove those backgrounds ASAP. Jpegs are never, never, never EVER acceptable in a game. They are of poor quality, it's not because your game can't handle it's that it looks crappy. When your game looks crappy people will tend to stray away from even though it is a good game.
If there are five colors almost equal to each other that could be reduced to one, well... like I said, it doesnt matter, we live in a higher bit area, guys.
You certainly should do that. It doesn't matter that we are in a higher bit era, more colors does not equal better sprites and better quality.
I'll let my program reduce it to the most nessesary amount of colors (auto).
I wouldn't reccomend it, computers are much more likely to make mistakes on this kind of stuff than someone personally doing it.
As for the sprite of GravityMan.EXE. Why does his left arm (the one behind his body) have a thumb pointing in the opposite dirrection of the right arm? Did you flip it? You can not do that and still expect the sprite to look good.
His different shades need more contrast from each other, he looks rather dull right now.
Jpegs are never, never, never EVER acceptable in a game. They are of poor quality, it's not because your game can't handle it's that it looks crappy.
what on earth? dude, JPEG is most common format used everywhere and doesnt look crappy if saved on moderate or high quality and besides, look at this:
http://foxclaw.de/img/rpg-maker/mmnc-galerie/mmnc-screen-008.jpg
cant say crappy here, can you?
my whole menu, parts of future intro and alot of tiles are JPEG
When your game looks crappy people will tend to stray away from even though it is a good game.
+ it broke the 5000 dls about a month ago
mfg
Fox
Look this isn't up for arguing. The Jpeg backgrounds you have look bad, you need to remove them, Jpeg is a low-quality image format and when you have non-jpegs mixed with them it looks bad. And no Jpeg isn't the most common format in games. Maybe in websites, yes, but not in games.
Did I say your game was unpopular? I said a generalization, hence the word tend.
Now could you please address the other stuff I said?
lol neither the sceenshot looks bad nor someone would ever comment about it and i bet if u didnt know its JPEG even u wouldnt complain...
btw. Final Fantasy 7, 8 and 9 are very JPEG abusive u know.
oh well, cant make evryone happy ^^
anyway, the "idea-search" for GravityMan.EXE Gameplay is still open, gimme your ides, i might add ur name to Credits :D
mfg
Fox
Stop trying to start an argument with me, I become very brutal and a major jackass.
The stuff I am telling you is advice, if you don't take it fine, you can simply ignore it though I still don't reccomend ignoring it.
For GravityMan you can use this as a reference:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pCQ_eCLM_I (skip to 6:53)
He sadly isn't very diverse in attacks :T
i think ill take the ignore, at least for the JPEG part, the sprite might get some downcoloring tho.
but wow... i really hate the GameCube game :P
his attacks there seem more of like MagnetMan's, i might give somewhat like the MagnetBall hmm mabe to be able to push the player around... have to ballance that, but its an idea, thx.
though i think ill put him somewhere at the end of the list.
mfg
Fox
No, do NOT fucking ignore. LISTEN TO THE FUCKING CRITS. If you can make something look good, why make it look bad?
explain pls.
JPEG ruins the quality of a sprite
3D games are not sprites and JPEG really doesn't mess with it.
So yeah no one really cares if FF7, 8, and 9 are JPEG
But they will if it's something like MMBN.
EDIT: It also doesn't really mess with images. But it does fuck up sprites.

Foxclaw is an hardheaded and is bad at what he does. Just ignore him already, don't get worked up over him. Just stop giving C+C as he believes it's all insults.
Really, the best thing you guys could do is ignore his thread altogether. What would happen? Updates without crits or view = fail
RyuReiatsu is the only one insulting here.
anyway, who has ever said that i would make sprites with JPEG? Oo
to get it straight, i DONT make JPEG sprites!!! lol that wouldnt even be possible!? omg
Rags got the point.
ye... i just checked, the Maker itself even uses JPEGs as base and i have always been using them for parts and never really anyone got concerned about it Oo
this isnt my 1st game u know, well my tribute to MegaMan tho and why would programmers make a 2D Game Maker Engine with JPEG if it sux so bad.
I was just looking at the same image as PNG24 and JPEG (made before saving) and even after 2min of looking at it, there was no difference, really, i dont know why this is such a problem.
I might just say ill change it all to PNG etc. but lol i can see your faces when everyone says its perfect and i reveal i didnt change a thing... cuz thats what would happen.
But okay, no JPEG any more.
well, some main news: FlameMan.EXE is finally done ;) i made him a little opposite to the original (candles being active wont give him traits, he can "take" the flames from the candles and have then!), makes a nice ballance.
also, i have found another GravityMan.EXE sprite, but havent found the owner yet hmm, it looks almost like mine but the arm xD such small arms...
it and mine both got the exact same height! Oo
so, mfg
Fox
and i hope you dont take such stuff seriously lol?
I might just say ill change it all to PNG etc. but lol i can see your faces when everyone says its perfect and i reveal i didnt change a thing... cuz thats what would happen.
But okay, no JPEG any more.
Okay this, yes you see this? This is you acting like an ass. Stop. YOU are the head developer yes? Don't do something you don't want to do. In fact by even saying that I feel less inclined to play your next game. Why? Because it shows you are willing to lie to an audience just to please yourself.
Get OFF the high horse and start acting like a MATURE human being.
Seriously get this through your head, no one likes a total and complete jackass. You WILL lose fans if you act in this sort of manner. People don't tend to support people they don't like.
Now I had avoided saying this earlier, because it would have sounded like me insulting you based on our argument, you need to up your grammar. This will make you look more professional and it will make it easier to understand you. You just need to spell out your words, capitalize ('I' in particular) and use your apostrophes when needed. When you do not use these appropriately it makes you sound less smart. I'm not saying you are an idiot, but that is the first impression you will give people.
Now I realize, or at least interpreted, that you are from another country. Now I am willing to be a little more lienient about your grammar and spelling, however! You could look online for a grammar/spelling checker or use microsoft word to correct some of your major errors. You do not need perfect grammar, just alright grammar.
Here is your post with the major errors:

also, i have found another GravityMan.EXE sprite, but havent found the owner yet hmm, it looks almost like mine but the arm xD such small arms...
it and mine both got the exact same height! Oo

and i hope you dont take such stuff seriously lol?
Here is it without the major errors:
RyuReiatsu is the only one insulting here.
Anyways, who has ever said that I would make sprites with JPEG?
Just to get it straight, I DON'T make JPEG sprites! Would that even be possible!? omg
Rags got the point.
Yeah... I just checked, the Maker itself and even it uses JPEGs as base. I have always been using them for parts and never really anyone got concerned about it.
This isn't my 1st game you know, well my tribute to MegaMan though and why would programmers make a 2D Game Maker Engine with JPEG if it sucks so bad?
I was just looking at the same image as a PNG24 and a JPEG (made before saving) and even after two minutes of looking at it, there was no difference, I don't know why this is such a problem.
I might just say I'll change it all to PNG, then see your faces when everyone says its perfect and I reveal I didn't change a thing. Because that's what would happen.

Okay... actually I thought using "shortened" words like "sux" for "sucks" and also less caring about capitalizing would be okay in chat and plain forums. At least it is that way in german forums and usually all nouns are spelled in high cap. there. I'll try the proper way. (didn't i write that english isn't my main in first post?)
( Oo = big eye, small eye = questionable smiley )
Yes, I am the head developer... the only developer actually and no, I am not on a "high horse". It is just that nobody has told me yet why or how they can tell me not to use JPEG in my game when i have always used it and even the program uses it in base? They just come in here and wham: "boo JPEG".
You are overfilling this thread with useless argument, and then annotating against things i never said like using JPEG as sprites...
Lern actually didn't only say inunderstandable (for me) stuff but gave also useful hints and i gave him props for that in previous posts. And i would do it again but other people try using his rather "other" way to say things to play dumbass in here, i call that abuse.
But this:
I might just say ill change it all to PNG etc. but lol i can see your faces when everyone says its perfect and i reveal i didnt change a thing... cuz thats what would happen.

Lets keep on with the main thing this thread was opened for, shall we?
So, here she is...
http://www.foxclaw.de/temp/foxexe.gif
my very 1st 100% own creation and i call her: Fox.EXE.
She will be featured in Zero Crisis as a main character of the plot, not telling about her intentions yet.
I hope you like her design!
To add on that: Sinse i made the sprite first, i dont have a character image or mugshot yet. I could make them myself but i would wait till i need it. I offer a credits slot to the person, drawing me an exceptable anime picture and / or mugshot for Fox.EXE!
I warn you though, i want her to be perfect ;)

my very 1st 100% own creation and i call her: Fox.EXE.
Doesn't really look in style and using one color for the entirety of the body makes certain parts of it unreadable.
Also tails don't move like that. Really need to edit the animation for the tail.
Finally the arms look like twigs.

Please stop instigating stuff. Drop it and just accept any help you get weather it be Ryu or not.
Well :)
What exactly do u mean by "not in style" I made sure it uses less colors (17 i think) and i have overdone the shading quite long until it seperated the tail and body enough. I might add some more light to the brightest areas.
The tail, yes im at it.
The arms hmm i like them :P
Shes bigger than MegaMan and the "normal-human" size so her arms look a little pointy i guess.
Thx for the link but i ain't asking for the help, it's an offer for credits and optional sinse i would do it my self anyway.
Im already working at her battlestyle, she's gonna be kicking psyballs and can roll into her tail, waiting to do a counterattack just like ShadowMan.EXE can perform. - like the idea?
mfg
Fox
not in style=doesnt look like the style >>
not in style=doesnt look like the style >>
eh... lol
Cuz she's an animal? I tried making her not too furry but i didnt want her to be a box. In BN there are very "real" and non-robotic looking Navis like RideMan.EXE or that cybergirl in the anime. If you think about it, even Mega himself isnt too much of a robot like his counterpart version. BeastMan.EXE is already too much robot for what i wanted her to look like :(
At the end, you can only see what she looks like in pixels... thats why i need to make an anime picture i guess :P
mfg
Fox
eh... lol
Cuz she's an animal?
No, that's not what 'style' means. The style is defined by the way of shading, the colours used, the size and proportions, the saturation, the amount of frames an animation has and how the animation is performed, etc.
boil man is right, but i do have to admitt thats good ;)
OH, thx Boilman - and thx Neo :P
Well i already finished the animations sheet, so dont expect much of changes, though i recolored a little and changed some part on the head.
You might need to know that all characters ahve animated standing postions in my game, even MegaMan.EXE, all selfmade. So her animation there is not a problem and then not out of style, her size well, shess taller than Mega but smaller than Colonel.EXE.
I guess, ill have to make a short teaser vid to show her in action later on, best way to find out and i hope she's not too off! ;)
EDIT: If you were wondering: her front hand is showing the back forward and opening toward her, showing that she wants you to come close, at least thats what its supposed to be. I just noticed that its hard to recognize on a light background.

You're telling me that you're unwilling to modify out-of-style sprites just because they are completed? That's just plain laziness and not very selling if you ask me. About her hand 'telling the opponent to come', you should make the hand-motion (that's ignoring the fact that it seriously lacks proportions in every way), y'know? I hadn't noticed until you said so and having to explain visuals is a bad sign.
Is actually a hurting truth isn't it?
More like you're retardedly delusional, bro. It will be apparent in your file size.
Major facepalm.
If you're unwilling to truly follow crits, then keep on doing your thing. But your game's quality will simply go down and down if you keep your unprofessional ways of doing things.
Hmm lets say it like this: i have enough stuff to do ;)
Hey, i'm a 1 man team and it wont take too much longer till i finished all characters and after that, its only a short matter of time untill im done.
This is my tribute to MegaMan.EXE & Zero and im trying as hard as i can to make it a very fun and enjoyable game, despite of some smaller graphical or "unprofessional" lack.
The filesize still is far less than other games around here + having more content in terms of play.
And I ain't ignoring the critics at all, but i ain't a god of gamemaking either. Give me a break lol.
To tell the truth, i'd rather hear stuff about the system/programming, bugs or ballancing sometimes ^^
But thx for trying to help.
It is always the end product that will have to prove itself or not. -> try the Demo :)

Im making a gameplay teaser in a few minutes, im at the last validations for her.

Tail animation is still the same. Tails don't move like that, the whole tail needs to move not just the tip. Arms still look crappy and the face/ears still looks like a mask.
On top of that it's still not really shaded in MMBN style.
Oh u mean the animation itself, no thats not the tail itself moving, it is moveless, whats moving there is like some kind of windeffekt (as you can see at the armband).
Arms = lol, doesnt matter to me
Face = just as it was supposed to ;)
Well, i'll be back.

you know what's cool? having a midsection. its sort of weird how it seems like your sprite's chest connects directly to her impossibly long legs. also, the shading is blocky and terrible, the animation is choppy, the head looks nothing like a fox, and the colours are out of style
Except for all everyone else said, he has no clear outline like MMBN has.

The sprite is stuck because now you probably don't feel like changing everything and starting all over. This is exactly why you should create a concept or sketch of the sprite before proceeding. Erasing with a pencil is easier than erasing pixels.
But since apparently this is a one-person team, it will most likely not be finished and I don't feel like participating anymore.
Why dont you get in ur head that this is how I want her to look?
I can send you my scibbles in 2 papermails LOL. Do you think i made the sprite without a concept? And that is her head, a big arrow formed head without a notable nose and mouth and the arms look perfectly fine to me and some other people i have asked elsewhere, get over it :P
And do you really think a perfectly working BattleSystem, 67/9X completed characters, Arcade Mode, 2 Player VS and over a year of work is not evidence enough that i will complete my game? Its not like any game, its MY game and im not making this for not completing it. - hurts to hear such a thing -.-

Stop backpeadling. Really.
It doesn't really matter if you're a one man team or not, take time to make quality work.
Listen to the criticism in this thread and fix her.
Better yet, don't add any fan characters, it makes your game look very unprofessional and narcissistic when you add your own avatar character into a game.
Fox you need to read this whole thread:
http://www.sprites-inc.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=9034
Your character seems a bit too similar to the Digimon Renamon:
http://digitalmonsters.free.fr/images/saison_trois/digimon/renamon.jpg
Anyways, seriously, you need to swallow your pride and listen to people. MegaRock is a good judge of character and if he's given up on you it means something. You might want to get your crap together.
I already edited her twice and am still called backpeddaler and none-listening to credits. You people dont listen to my posts. And i dont search for excuses, either i want something that way or not, there is nothing in between.
I want to settle this now, no more "backpeddling", "non-listening", other insults or such. Stick with the normal critics and let me take it or not.
This project will be completed and great and you guys can help but NOT like this recently.
Heres the next update:
http://www.foxclaw.de/temp/foxexe.gif
I always update the GIF file, so you wont find the old version in recent posts.
Changes this time:
- midsection lol, thx to [fish in space] comment, i also felt like i missed out on semething there xD
- small detailchanges to head (eyes and left ear)
- arms just a little thicker and front hand changed
But the tail-animation is staying because: i like it.
About the shading-part, could anyone here just do the edit and show me? I allow edits to my sprite in order to show me shading or recolors. If i even take it, ill give a helping credit ofc.
If anyone is wondering: I have the whole spriteset as editable file and it takes me about 5 min to do an edit like this including updating my game, theres no reason i schouldnt have entered her yet, details can always be added later.
No comments about her battlestyle? :P

Why dont you get in ur head that this is how I want her to look?
Another standalone ignored Quote:
']also, the shading is blocky and terrible, the animation is choppy, the head looks nothing like a fox, and the colours are out of style
Discuss.
Now it appears you still ignore us all, so let me sum up WHY ALL OF OUR CRIT IS RATIONAL, and why we call you a BACKPEDALLER.
Warning, massive Lern rant and actually a hell of a lot of COMPARINGLY relaxed crit.
Actually, we'll start with the latter.
BECAUSE IN THIS POST YOU'VE DONE EVERYTHING THAT DEFINES BACKPEDALLING.
And now for the former~
MMBN style sprites have a proper outline, this one blends too much with the background and thus looks out of style. The shading, too, looks undoubtfully out of style and is choppy and blocky and terrible, and the colors, don't even fit the style. Even if all you did matched some kind of custom style you made, it looks moreso like fur than a metalic plate, which navis have. Now you may think thats good, but NO.
Tails dont move like that even in the wind, they dont tilt their tips up to 70 degrees, hell, what you did makes no sense even if the fox could move its own hairs or even if the fox did move its tail! Stop backpedalling.
Editing twice is not a lot. Really, if you edited twice, then sit down, have a cup of coffee, relax, play some games, program some crap...
Then start listening to some gosh darned crit. Because if you think editing twice is a lot, you've much to learn. It's not the quantity of edits made but their qualities.
Thank you VERY much.
And about the head
I
no
WE
don't care.
That head is HIGHLY MISHAPEN, OUT OF STYLE AND MAKES NO SENSE WHATSOEVER, even were it IN style.
Put a picaso painting in an MMBN tilt to fit the standing battle frames of MMBN.
Now compare it to your fox head.
The resemblence is uncanny, in a way, because the head MAKES NO SENSE AND IS MISHAPEN.

You know, of all the other things mentioned here. One thing that is really bothering me is the idle pose itself. I can't think of any MMBN characters that idle like yours does. Yours seems to idle in a fighting game style. Most MMBN characters just have one standing pose, with the exception being here when they blink/flash. The whole breathing thing is out of style as well, I mean why does a Net Navi need to breathe?

On top of that
Why is it breathing so quickly? It's only standing.
I already wrote that actually ALL the navis have gotten a standing animation including MegaMan.EXE but that's just another thing i write that is overread.
And the wind effect also has some use in the original sprites like from Bass.EXE, where i got the idea of making her animation like a windgust. And what about KillerMan.EXE?
But the way you stand or pose shouldnt be a worry.
And I just told you that its over, write something useful, I'll read it and do somethning about it if I think it is a good idea. The long post of Lern was pointless.

No sweety, I'm not going to hold your hand and edit it for you. Marking on it means putting a bunch of red boxes to show where you need adjustment. Some people get upset when others do that.
Alright so here is the run down:
Yellow boxes indicate that you need to do some major reconstruction.
Blue boxes indicate that you need to do some minor editing.
Green boxes indicate shading that is really off.
Pink boxes indicate where I suggest trying to change things.
Red is stuff I'll explain.
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p48/ngaurhoth1/fox.png
Alright so here's the big problems I'm seeing.
In the blue box over the eye, You need to have a second, darker shade of purple so your character doesn't look so lifeless. Another shade of whie would be bad either.
In the blue boxes on the ears there are a few pixels that are just off, really all it would take to look better is remove a couple of pixels from some key areas. The same goes for the right foot (on the left side of the screen)
On both legs you pillow shaded which makes the sprite loook oddly textured and it makes it confusing as to where the lighting is coming from. The leg in red, first of all the two shades are too similar to each other, you'll need another pallet for all of her black parts. The part of the leg with the spike shouldn't be brighter than the other half of that leg, it should be the darker part.
The end of the tail needs major reconstruction, I get that she is supposed to be furry, but it is still out of style for Battle Network (and Zero for that matter). You should completely redo that part. The back part doesn't look bad, but it's shading is so incredibly off that it looks bad. Again, no clear light source.
The left arm (the one on the right side in the yellow box) should be completely redone. It looks too blocky to be an arm.
Lastly the tip of the left ear, it's not shaded correctly, compare it to the spikey haired virus I added. It should be darker at the top, not lighter.
The ENTIRE tail needs to move in the animation, it is not possible for the wind to do to the tail what you were saying it's doing, animate ALL of it.
EDIT: Oh yeah, you need to redo the chest, you do realize that right now her chest is just boobs right?
Hey, im back.
And here is some editing i made today including "trying to do" most of your marks and some detail stuff i wanted to add. Though i think animating the whole tail isn't too good, i might leave it moveless hmm gotta think about something. I kinda miss my old tailtip :P :: Hey wait a minute, ProtoMan has alot of hair and Zero too!!!
I also made some kind of borders everywhere. Looks better to me too, thx 4 advice.
I also cut the head a little, not only some pixels, i made it a little shorter at whole and reshaded it and the complete sprite, hoping it makes more "sense" now.

Oh that looks significantly better. You still need to make the shades of black more contrasting.
Lern might be able to help fine tune it, I know that it could still use some improvements, but I can't say exactly where... Sorry.
The breathing animation isn't right. Her chest shouldn't move up and down, instead you might want to animate her chest by changing the shading of the body parts to represent motion.
Hey wait a minute, ProtoMan has alot of hair and Zero too!!!
I'm assuming that's a joke >>;
So, heres the deal, I made another change in animation.
I also reduced the long legs by addon on to the section between them and the mid body and I slightly changed shading at the tail tip.
Then i had some sort of idea but I dunno if that would work :P
Here's the new animation:

It would fit, buy not for this kind of robot. More for a snake robot, or anything that would probably need to make sharp moves with his tail.

Yeah... thats what i thought later on. Well, i'd say case Fox.EXE is closed (for now). I'll bring her into my next Demo and then see how she will be welcomed in gameplay (or not).

So, here i am with yet another character to introduce.
It's the KnightRider! Well, KnightRider.EXE in this case ;)
Here's a teaser: YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YSfAcQkXJA)
You might ask "why?"... :P
Well i kinda listened to the old TV show opening and it came in my mind like a blast. So i added him. ^^
This time it's not from scratch though. I took the TurboMan sprites, recolored and edited some part like the front, helmet, legparts and spoiler.
His moves are semi-TurboMan-like, sinse he has the same old Dash and BurningWheels but i exchanged his Buster for a stationary MiniGun and added a slowgauge on his side differing theyre two playstyles enough to have him in.
So, whattaya think? ;)
Oh and player2 in the video is also new to tho comming update: FlameMan.
He's almost what he was in the original but with a major difference: the candles wont lend theyre powers by being lighted, instead he can grab the fire off the candles and convert the power to his body for a short duration. The candles will relight randomly.
mfg
Fox
If you can't make a scratch sprite for this "Knightrider" then I wouldn't bother making him a new character, although you could make him into an alternate form for TurboMan since he is who you used as a base. Or if you plan on changing the sprite later and it's a new car based Navi you might want to make him into NitroMan.EXE instead. If you do change his name to NitroMan.EXE you could change his net-op's name to Michael Ryder, because Ryder sounds like 'Rider' but also means Knight so you get you get to keep roots to his original name.
(to find other names meaning 'knight' go to here http://www.babynames.com/Names/search.php.)
I'm also noticing tht you don't stick to the naming scheme, which is really a classic trait of the Megaman series. You should try to stick with naming characters after musical terms, something-man(or woman), computer jargon or an X related theme.
Well i kinda listened to the old TV show opening and it came in my mind like a blast. So i added him.
I'm not sure I understand?
Hi, Hoth.
KnightRider is an old TV Series, where i based him of, just Google it ^^
Girls of the MMBN Scene dont have any "Man" or lets say "Woman".
Fox.EXE is a girl ;)

Well now that I think about it, you are right about that because of Medi and Ring.
But what about this KnightRider? I really don't think you should rip-off a show so blatantly thus why I sugested changing his name to NitroMan since it relates to Megaman and keeps the character in tact. Either that or change him into a cross/style change.
^^
U 4got about Roll.
There's also non(or half)-female Navis without such an add, like Colonel, Punk, Serenade, Bass etc.
But meh, KnightRider.EXE it is sinse it wouldnt make sense adding him and then not even naming him after his original counterpart.
Mmmh Kit.EXE would also work but it sounds kinda weird.

Colonel is an X character. Bass, Roll, Serenade and Punk are all musical terms.
The point I'm getting at Fox is that KnightRider already doesn't make sense in adding because he has nothing to do with Megaman in any way shape or form. Hell he doesn't even have anything to do with Capcom.
Thus while I understand you like that show and want to make a reference to it I think it would be better to make it actually relate to Megaman or take him out entirely. Otherwise it makes your game seem more like a bad fan-fiction and unprofessional.

the needleman sprites look really good, will you be adding swordman, sanukiman and gravityman too?
Thanks.
Well SanukiMan is a joke in the first place so no, but the others have a high chance of being added. At least GravityMan is already in my final roster. BrightMan is also in the thoughts.

the game isnt working, you can see the window and then it closes without even an error report.
I would have noticed your error report earlyer if you had written another post instead of just completely rewriting your old one :)
Well, window closing without any error, sounds to me like missing RTP.
Try downloading and installing this: http://foxclaw.de/downloads.php?dl=1324
and it should work.
Have fun!

It's okay?
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g144/mega_rock_exe/mmbn_zero_crisis_logo-01copy.png
Heya, that looks cool.
Though it doesn't fit to my game, i think you got the point wrong...
The "ZERO" should be at least colored like the original "MegaMan Zero" Logo.
"Zero Crisis" is the games 2nd title though also includes the 2nd Hero's name so the "Zero" has to be hightlighted alot more, 2nd most after the "MegaMan".
The rest is almost perfect but i can't use this version u got there.
I made one recently, it should be something like this: LINK (http://www.foxclaw.de/temp/zerocrisis-logo.png)
But don't get me wrong, your's looks really neat!
mega rock.exe
31-03-11, 00:40
Least colored? That's kind of hard to understand so I think I'll just move the white of the background to the Zero part? The title reads the way I designed it, so it limits the direction.
Oh?
No, what i ment is:
The "Zero" hast to be the 2nd eyecatcher right after the "MegaMan".
"Battle Network" & "Crisis" are lower-titles.
Also the coloring doesn't make sense...
"Zero" should have the same coloring as it has in the MegaMan Zero Games.
Anyway, thank's for your trying, but i think i already have my Logo now.
What do you people think of this?:
Zero Crisis Logo (http://www.foxclaw.de/temp/zerocrisis-logo2.png)

i think it looks to boring :/ maybe a background would help, or make the Z the way it is in megaman zero.
Hi once again!
Here's another Patch, doing some serious bugfixing sinse PreBetaX + ballancing AND a new character: "MegaMan StarForce"!
See him in action: YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7leyd0oA7A)
@Xearez:
It's done, i fixed some corners here and there but tbh. i was thinking about adding the bug "Z" alot but then decided not to cause it might overfill the whole thing. It's looking good as put on the Title Screen.

I am already working on a small patch to include 2 more characters and some updated to the gamemode (more clans!). It will arrive in about a week.
Also, i have finally fixed some serious amount of the known bugs, which is pretty neat, i hope not to have included new ones within the new characters or game mode! xD
For those wondering what i ment by "final PreBeta" is, that past this point (not counting the comming patch) i will open the true Beta. It will be open so everyone can download it but there will be testing functions for my beta-testers.
Comming soon: The Custom-Character-Contest! I am almost finished with the main characters i want to add and after that, i will have 4 more custom community characters added, sty tuned for the announcement.
But well, feel free to download it and see for yourself @

well, if you need sprites for zero.EXE, then you can check dragon zero's thead, he has awesome sprites for him.
Actually no thx, i have seen them and they suck ballz in my opinion.
Also, for characters that don't have original sprites, i am spriting them all myself.
Right now, i am working on a spritesheet for PrisMan.EXE.

umm... well, did you check the newest version? i dont see how they arnt awesome, but i guess thats your opinion :mega-what: . alright, i forgot about prisman!
Actually no thx, i have seen them and they suck ballz in my opinion.
hahahahahahahaha
you have horrible tastes in sprites
hmm i checked around and i still think the coloring is very bad, it hurts the eye with that extreme red/yellow.
also the sprite itself is just a Colonel rip with bad Zero edits, the hair looks very bad...
mabe i have been looking at the wrong spots, can any1 show me that newest version? - i request this only for changing my mind on the sprite, not for adding it into my game sinse i still want to make the non-originals all custom (reason lies in credits).
Well here is my 1st version for my sprite of PrisMan.EXE:
http://www.foxclaw.de/temp/prismanexe.gif
Not yet 100% but it is pretty satisfying.
I might lower the brightness of his main pody parts a little, also his left arm weapon (the right on if you look at it) behind his body kind of disturbes his chest/belly parts, haven't found a way to get around it yet but mabe the brightness change will do it too.
Well, he is 1 of the 2 comming characters within the patch soon, the other being refered as "SuperMet" ^^

http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/9782/zeroexewip.png thats the newest version, prisman needs his shading redone, also. :/
http://www.foxclaw.de/temp/prismanexe.gif
(New one to the left)
I have added some more shading here and there, aslo i have tuned his main coloring a little more purple though i am not sure if this would be his true colors, i always thought he was perfect blue but a friend ment he was purple, does any1 know the truth?
Also i have darkened his bright parts, and also moved his chest and weapon slightly.
Overall i would use this one, what do ya think?
@ Zero.EXE Sprite:
Yes this one is better... though i still don't like the hair xD
Also he appears a little small don't you think? Zero.EXE is suposed to be even bigger than Colonel.EXE in what i can recall. At lest he fixed the shading a little.

Prisman is too thin. You need more contrast between the darker colors. Need a lot of overhauling.
Use this to your advantage: http://www.rockman-exe.com/rockman/screencaps/3/34.html
I was thinking of making him thinner and you are saying he is too thin, so i might just leave him like this. He is very bulky already, slightly taller than most Navis, pretty much Colonel-sized.
In the other forum they say the contrasts and shading is perfect sinse i lowered the brightness of the bright parts, what still is being on my mind is if his coloring is more blue or purple, does nobody know exactly?
The Anime screenshots look differently to one another too omg!
I finished the Spritesheet for PrisMan.EXE but i am still in a pinch with his coloring...
Here, i made this picture for comparasions:
http://www.foxclaw.de/temp/prisman_coloring.png
The top and center images are PrisMan at his main state, the bottom ones are influensed by DarkChips.
The left Sprite was my first coloring attempt, the center one the actual and the right one is from one of my Beta-Testers.
I still dont think that yellowish/baige is correct for his body party, also i think he is blue, not purple, thus his Sceenshots do show him a little purple, they ARE from his DarkMode...
Also... i think i have mistaken his eyes to be yellow?
Any clues?

the center one looks dead on to me, and the one on the right(if its supposed to be the dark chip state) looks pretty close, other than the jump suit being too yellow. and yeah, his eyes are lighter red :P

people just dont post enough anymore. well, i like the glide but he can use some more shading(mostly the head). the poses on the right, he looks way too much like megaman, hes mostly not tall enough.
You haven't even compared his size to MegaMan, all you see is the pose.
Tbh. he was way smaller at first. This one is already edited in size cuz i noticed how he usually is about 3/4 head taller then MegaMan.
The pose itself, it's like saying FireMan looks too similar to MegaMan while shooting.
The sprite itself is completely different to MegaMans.
The dash has similarities but is significantly taller then MegaMan too.
I ain't sure about the shading.
He has
Mabe you could point it out?
