Megaman X: Resurrection

[Reno]

Yeah. Were making it. Me and Durandal thought of the idea today. Two stories, taking place some years after X8, where you play as X, and as Sigma. However, the Sigma story is a bonus. You have to beat the game to recive 2 Chunks of the password, while the remaining two are found during thr game in hidden area's. Its going to be awsome. I found alot of helpful people online that are stepping me through this step by step on how to properly make a platformer game.

Read on....


BETA PLOT

A long time after the events took place in Megaman X8, Sigma is considered dead for good, The copy chips cause incredible chaos in all reploids, but the copy chip must be used for human advancment. It is a dire decicion, and the final result, the planet decided to use the copy chips, and live with the Chaos, this ended X8. And begins Resurrection. 15 years have passed. X and Zero, and the new addon, Axl, are fighting hard, everyday, fighting malfunctioning Reploids that are using thier Copy Chip to become chaotic powerful, and deadly reploids. But something was different this one day, when X got out of his regeneration chamber. An alert has sounded, report multiple reploids malfunctioning, and using thier Copy chips to go Maverick. But the location was hauntinly familiar. It was a old, lab, that appeared to be burried for 100s of years. Then in came back to him, this lab, was the lab of Dr. Wily. The lab of a ancient, long dead scientist. Someone has uncovered his lab. And found Robot DNA Data, and copied it! But there was more. A Virial trace, resembling Sigma. But these Malfuntioning reploids were on a rampage, not being controlled by anyone...what could cause this...who is behind this....

Count me in Reno.
I have a suggestion. Perhaps the use of Sigma should not be just a bonus. I think it would be great if you have to play as him in the beginning. Maybe you should play as Sigma when he searches for the lab. The use of Sigma in such a way would also be unique among other Mega Man games. The only problem in using the Sigma sprites is that they are limited because boss fights were not meant to have as much animation as X. He might only be able to have 5 or 6 different movements including attack patterns.

Have you thought of which Sigma sprite to use yet? If not, my vote would be the one from the original X.

You mentioned that the music is already done. What Mega Man sound tracks do you have in mind?

[Reno]

Well, Sigma is very complicated. I would love to add him in, but Sigma, not any of the sprites have any running animation. Sigma was always meant to dash around and such. This will serve as a block, but doesnt need to be worried about yet. The main thing now, is to program a usuable X. As for the Platform Engine I told you about, I decided to scrap it. We need to make the engine ourselves. That one is too Mario like, and plus, it doesnt feel like we made it if it was partically downloaded.

As for the tracks, The intro FMV will be the Opening off of X5. ( Its alot like the main starting song in X )


Other songs will be anywhere in X4-X8. MP3 format,

Durandal, we might need to get your audio skills to make some loopable songs.

Just let me know when you have something in mind for the title screens. What about script? I believe that I could assist in that area, if you could relay the story to me in more detail.

[Jarlaxle]

We won't worry about that until we determine that this project has potential.
If it does, then yes you would have a lot to offer to the story line, and so could I considering that I won't be of much use otherwise.

What I would like is to control Sigma in his virus form and just float around and shoot with the mouth beem he has. You don't need to worry about moving animations for that, and for your earlier plot idea it would make more sense considering that viral traces were left behind.

[Reno]

I did a number of X animations again.

Im almost finihed all his animations ( ALMOST 60 IN TOTAL!!!) Once done, I'll start programming X.

Note: If I cannot program a perfect X interface. I will discontinue the project. Don't worry though, I'll make this work.

[Jarlaxle]

I hope your right. This idea has a lot of potential.
