Mega Man VS
Alrighty, so here's the big idea that spawned about 2 years ago. How about have a Mega Man the Fighters game, but be able to play as ANY Robot Master from MM 1-3 and more, along with features like different gametypes, stages, coop, and maybe even Online Play. How great would that be?
First off, you can kinda relate the game to the Super Smash Bros. series. While the game's core is in its Multiplayer, the singleplayer is tacked on for means of unlocking characters and such. The Multiplayer is up to 4 player Free-For-Alls (or teams) of First to an amount of kills, Last Man Standing, Stock, or Berserker game matches. After choosing a character, stage, and rules, you can duke it out from a wide variety of characters, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Most of the characters have 2 or 3 different moves up their arsenal, based from their original attack patterns. Mega Man can shoot his signature pellets (maybe charge) or slide, Cut Man can boomerang his blades or lay out mines (inspired by his cameo in MM8), Roll can stab you with her broom(Zelda 2 style) or vacuum you closer(She is a house cleaning robot, after all), et cetera. You can duke it out in various locations modeled after the actual games, including the boss chamber and an extra area specifically made for this game! The entire game is 8-bit, including the graphics, sound, and music! (Hate midi's and games that take up most their space on music? It uses small size OGG recordings of the actual that loop, so the size of the download won't be too critical.)
The SinglePlayer/CoOp consists of a campaign mode against Wily through the first 3 games. You can choose from 5 campaigns total, Mega Man 1, 2, 3, Wily Last Stand (the stage select screen consists of the 6 Final Bosses from each game and 2 of his minions), and a Bonus game for getting 100% completion. When you choose a boss from each campaign, you (and a fellow robot maybe) go through the original stages against enemies and a boss at the end.
Online Play is planned to support up to four players in a stock match of free for alls. The connection system will be server/client using 39ster's DLL. More info on it when I actually start on Online Play.
If your ready to try the game, too bad, I don't have a demo up yet.
If you want to speed up the development process, go post in the appropriate section.
If you want to know more specific information, there's most likely a thread in this section about it. If it isn't, request it in the suggestion forum and I'll go into as much detail as I can.
