Honestly, if one would make a megaman fangame, one should make it like an actual megaman battle system. Just saying.

For some reason, the plot and premise is so.................. fangame-y. It feels flat, as if it's a n00b project. Not saying it is, but it SOUNDS and FEELS like it a lot, for real.

Protoman exe? like, for real? I DO NOT get that. like...... for real. makes no sense whatsoever. I mean, would this be a battle network thing or what.... for real. Sorry, just..... ugh.

I don't know, the alpha chip story sounds way used. You should add more detail and depth to make it NOT sound so used.

Shadow X sounds generic, and the first paragraph introducing the premise feels like it's what's making the game sound so noobish. the.... dark shadow in X's heart.... man, that feels so off.

My opinions. Don't take everything I say TOO hard. I have a tendency to mark out each and every flaw in a game, ignoring the good flaws.

There is actually a MegaMan RPG game named MegaMan X Command Mission. The battle system for this game is very similar.

ProtoMan EXE is his name. He is NOT ProtoMan. They are two different characters in the MegaMan series.

If you are going to criticize my game at least get the facts correct.

I do agree with you about Shadow X's name. I should come up with a different name.

ProtoMan EXE is his name. He is NOT ProtoMan. They are two different characters in the MegaMan series.
the point was that one is an alternate-universe adaptation of the other, and having both of them seems quite silly

to be perfectly honest, this does not sound quite auspicious so far. the megaman series was only ever good because of the gameplay; the story and characters are not strong enough to drive the game on its own. Command Mission just barely evaded being a humongous joke by including some neat new gameplay elements in with the standard turn-based stuff. you'll need to step carefully to avoid this whole thing being bland like drywall.

also I am forced to consider that you have to this point started like three projects that you spontaneously dropped an arbitrary span of time later. is this one going to stick?

My other projects have NOTHING to do with this. I have not dropped three projects. I removed Dark Chaos off of this forum because of someone spammed my topic. Legend of The Dark Star is still being worked on. A project thread by get rarely update, but it does not mean it is dropped. Sometimes some threads are not updated in months. Don't make false assumptions about me. Don't lie about me ever again. :mad:

I disagree with you about the storyline of MegaMan. I think it is a good storyline. Command Mission was one hell of a game. Just my opinion.

ProtoMan EXE and ProtoMan are in fact from two different worlds. However, that is the point. As stated Shadow X can transfer through time and space. That is how both characters are in the game. I actually wanted Bass in this game. However, I can't make a Bass sprite. Most of my resources in this game are cut and edited by me, and from various RPG Maker sites.

ahahahahahaha

also this so far is sounding like a really tenuously set up crossover fic. even pretending for a second that the plot of the Megaman games is not incredibly weak, the plot specific to this game seems more like an excuse than anything else.

I certainly was a bit harsh with that last point, but if you go to lengths such as these over basic criticism, I have to wonder why you bother posting these topics in the first place. you have to take both the good and the bad in these cases; not everyone is going to sugarcoat their opinion for you, and not everyone will have purely positive things to say. this is a consistent problem with yours as relates to game making; you take simple points as personal attacks, and overreact accordingly. if this keeps up, you'll find it very hard to improve as a builder.

of course, this is a moot point now anyway. so's the topic, now that there's no content to comment on. if you'd prefer an endless stream of empty praise, I might suggest some other forum.
