Not quite a fan-game, but definitely a game heavily inspired by Megaman (Legends, to be honest) and the Metroid series.

Now, quick! YouTube videos of my game!



I've been working on this game for quite some time, now.
It's a remake of this old game I made:




If those screenshots don't look familiar, I'll explain.
Actually, I won't. It's all here:

Cool.

So, what is this game, in more detail?
A typical Metroidvania with platforming elements as cruel as most early Mega Man games. There's a plot and the game structure will be set up very similar to the first Legends.

A few characters you should know:


Cameron Owen Parker, our protagonist.
A rookie cop stranded on an alien moon and given a blaster (more like pea shooter) that he uses to fight off aliens and chase down a bandit leader with a huge bounty:


Harvey Wolfgang Ferris. Equipped with modified space marine armor and a heavy shotgun laser cannon thing, how will our hypothetical David knock out this hypothetical Goliath?

And what is our underdog rookie cop doing on an alien moon chasing a bandit through old ruins?

I'll wrap that up in the game.

Demo coming soon.
What do you guys think so far?

Well, that looks like an interesting combination. I'll try it out when I'm back on my regular machine. </was watching IRC>

Is that music done in Organya?

Actually, is this being done as a Cave Story mod? (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

The music is done by a friend of mine, he goes by T8HI / Double Zero. He's using PxTone, which is why it sounds so much like Cave Story.

Here's his page!

But it is not a Cave Story mod. Somewhat inspired by Cave Story in that it's a Metroidvania type game with some focus on plot.
