*trembles* Get it away from me! I like it, I think it would go good in Phobos level.

That\'s...creepy! I like the met...but, It should be a bit darker. THEN it could be a \'Shadow Met\'...Oh, oops! *trembles like a dying goldfish...wait, do those tremble or not?*

Trembling goldfish, just the reaction I was hoping for! hehe.
You were right Fred, the colors are a bit too bright for him so I changed it, added some attachments and TADA!, here it is, brand spanking new met! I changed the cross on the helmet for the jewel that also appears on Phobos chest to show that he built them. I also made a new animation for a shield move. Now I know when a Met is ducking it can\'t be hit but I want to use this shield move for when the Met is moving around so he can attack Megaman and still remain immune from attacks(unless you use Phobos weakness on the Shadow Met sheild, which will render it useless).

He looks okay to me, but he stills needs work, I\'m gonna keep at it, might even scrap the whole thing, what can I say, if I\'m not totally satisfied, I never spriting finish until I am. Anyway, Phobos\' Sprite Sheet is almost complete, just looking for animations I can edit for his huge arm shadow attacks. I also need a finishing move, but I\'m totally blank, I can\'t think of anything. I need some suggestions. Also, I notice that this topic gets plenty views but not many people post. I\'m grateful to everyone who posted their opnions and comments, thank you so much. I encourage anyone who reads this topic to tell me what they think. Is there anything I should change, something you don\'t like, or an idea you would like me to work into the game, anything, I want to here it. XIAYOU mentioned about putting a secret fighting game. That was a great idea and even though I didn\'t say anything, I will include it and credit him, since he gave me the idea. Many others also voiced to changed the helmets of the bosses. I did that and here it is. This is kind of a two for one shot here, you get to see a new helmet on a boss and a new boss as well. His name is Giggles. His design might remind you of Clownman but hey, I can\'t help it if Capcom creates a character that may or may not have been thought of before I came up with the idea. I was thinking of changing him, mainly the hat cause it is TOO Clownman, but we\'ll see.

thanks for the cred unknown.Um and I was wondering, how can do u fusion? I mean like how if u have to pics bring them together? might sound stupid but I waS just wondering. And by the way does anyone know how to put pictures on our posts? im still baffled.

You deserve the cred man, it was a cool idea and also, your question wasn\'t stupid, XIAYOU. I did a little explanation before on how I built Hydro. If that doesn\'t help then let me know and I\'ll explain my process further. Anyway, I know I said before I was done showing bosses and then I go and reveal one more. The reason for that is I\'ve decided to add more bosses, now 15! I\'m going to show one more in the coming days since I\'m stuck on a name. Also, I still need ideas for a Phobos\' finishing move so I can finish the sprite sheet. In the meantime, I originally wanted Giggles to come hovering down on a ballon, it would pop, he would land and that would be his intro. But, I\'ve decided the scrap that for something better. I\'ve constructed a little device for him, seen in the below animation, which in addition to helping him move around, it will also spit out tricks and traps to aid him in destroying Megaman. Enjoy!

u said u needed ideas for phobos finishing move right? this might be really really hard to sprite but u could make phobos create 1 giant phantom sphere and then shoot it at mega and then its like a black hole that he gets sucked into.

That\'s a cool idea XIAYOU. I did a quick sketch, is this what you had in mind?

http://www.angelfire.com/mech/distantshadows/Phobos_-_Finishing_Move.gif

Keep the ideas coming guys! The more feedback I get the more better this game can become. Later!:)

thats almost what I had in mind. But I like urs better. mine was have like mm swirling around like being sucked in but urs was better.

I like the swirling around idea XIAYOU!! Actually, it gave me am even better idea. Phobos could send out like 3 or 4 shadow balls and the each dissolve a different piece of Megaman, like one take out his legs, the other two take out his arms and he sends out a final big one to wipe out the rest of his body. Still, if anyone else has any ideas, let me know. In addition to that, I present a new boss, one which I reveal since he is nameless. He\'s still complete but I gave him Chrono\'s legs in the bottom pic to give him a sense of completion. He is an acid - based boss. So help me out here everyone, help me name this little guy. Thanks!

http://www.angelfire.com/mech/distantshadows/Nameless.gif

Why don\'t you name him Acid?

how about toxis? or toxys. maybe mercerious.

also, i would like to see if you can do custom heads for some of these. the rockman heads are cool and i know you have them in the story, but if you get a chance, i would like to see that. maybe you could alter rm\'s head or something. they look good so far and i cant wait to see more.

how bout sting.:lol:

I like the new guy zero.i have no idea for a name hope u can find 1 out soon.And it sounds like phobos is gonna have a sweet finishing move.

dang uknown you have a HUGE imagination to think of those characters.

Thanks guys, I want a vast selection of names and ideas before I make a final decision so keep the suggestions coming.

XIAYOU - The finishing move will be sweet and I have you in part to thank!

SuperGohan - Gotta thank you too bud! You gave me a great idea for the finishing move in that PM the other day! Thanks man!!

So with both your ideas and mine the final animation of the finishing move will rule, expect it to be done in a few days. Also, if anyone has any suggestions for other finishing moves, tell me. I still need ideas for Giggles, Hydro and Chrono.

Nayus Dante - I am working on changing the heads, if you look at Giggles, you can see that his helmet is different than Megaman\'s I plan on changing all the helmets but still, I need ideas for this as well so if you got any, let me know, and that goes for all of you!

Nightmare Gohan, thanks for the compliment, if only you knew what I had up my sleeve for the rest of the bosses, they would blow you away. I\'ve had these ideas for a while, I had most of the story and Robot Masters planned out on paper since Megaman 6 was released so I\'ve had time for my ideas to develop and evolve over the years.

In the mean time, here is a few animations, two of some boss animations, Psycho shooting missles and Giggles punching, and of little teaser screenshot I made. It isn\'t much but I\'ll leave it to your imaginations, if only you knew what was really behind those lights...

I think I know what the teaser is.

You know what I think you should do? When you finish put the game on a disk and SELL IT! You\'ll make some cash!

Yeah, but not brfoe letting us download it for free,:muha::lol::D:P

Yeah, I do have a point. But seriously, after you put it on a disc, and start selling it I am sure it will catch on quick, and If ya become famous, then we all will know a famous rich person:D:D

Hey you guys gave my a idea! I was making this Rpg game on Rpg maker and I\'ve been working on it for 3 years and I\'m finally done with it! so I\'l guess I\'ll start selling it! I\'ll let you guys download it for free! but the problem is that it is on PS! can you guys help me find I way to put it on the PC so you guys can downlaod it!

P.S: I\'ll update you guys on the selling!

How the hel did you get it on the PS!!... Nevermind that, but either ask someone who knows alot about computers , and if possible ask someone who puts ROMs on their computers, but I cant Help, ya

p.s.: What is tyhe name of it, and what is it about?

I\'ts like Dragon Warrior! And the name is Another storie if you don\'t like it PM about a name you would like! O.k

Sorry for postig of topic!

hes using the playstation version of rpg maker. if you buy a dex drive, you can get an image of the memory card and distribute that. the downside is that it can only be played on the playstation. i reccomend downloading rpg maker 2000, or if you can find 2003, someone has translated it against the fan community\'s will. people want rpg 2003 to be sold legitimately but i found a 100% translated version on the fasttrack network.(kazaa, grokster, morpheous, imesh, etc.) It wouldnt be too hard to do it in 2000, but 2k3 is really good and has more features including a true final fantasy style battle system.

Unknown, dont listen to these guys who are telling you to sell. capcom doesnt accept fan games or ideas. i have checked their website in the past. I also think it would be impossible to get the rights and selling could end up in a lawsuit. also, you need to make sure that the program that you are scripting it in allows for royalty free distribution. if you ever want any ideas for sprites, give me a basic outline and ill see what i can make.

Hey I\'ve got copirigths! Yay I\'m so happy I can finnally sell my game I made! but the bad part is every copie has to be sold really cheap like $21.99! Hey out of what I make I only keep 75% ! Plus I\'ve made my own Rpg company named as
\"Dream Co. Inc\" yay I can now rent the game and sell it! and I\'m making it again with Rpg maker 2003 so it has better graphics and figthing scene\'s! Yay And I\'ll place a shareware of the game on the internet pretty soon! But this will be no demo it will have the whole game! yep for free!!!! Oh and I\'m working on the 2nd one!!! \"The Story Never Ends\" Yep this one will be made on Rpg 2003 Yep!!!!
Oh and It\'s only 2 of us that work onthis company!!! The game will be realesed soon!!! but only on my state!!! So far I hope I can make lots of money so I can expand my company to other states!!! And the 2nd game is almost done Yep it wil take about a 1-2 years to have it finally finished!!! Sorry for all the Yep\'s sometimes I get carry away Yep! Dang I wrote Yep again! Oh and all I need to get before realesing this game is Approval from the \"Rpg Maker Co.\" Oh yeah forgot to say that I will be giving free versionof it until I get the Approval! And my copyrigths!!!!!!! Yay I\'m so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:lol:

Good for you protoman SP!

Right on the money SuperGohan! Excellent guess! Well done my friend.

Well, I never intended to sell the game, I wouldn\'t even if it were possible, which it isn\'t. I\'d much rather have everyone enjoy a great game for free, like I said earlier, you fans are the reason I\'m making this game. I do, however, plan on putting Distant Shadows and the sequel I mentioned earlier, on a disc bundled with extras and secrets. What I was thinking, once I get the game out and a website going, I want to run a little competion. The competition would have certain tasks that the player must complete within the game. If one completes the assigned tasks then a password would appear and once entered it would prove that the tasks were completed. I would give everyone a deadline to submit their passwords which I assume would be randomly generated so no cheating can be done and I would choose 100 or so names at random for the special bundle disk. This is all just an idea and it is subject to change, I might just send it to anyone who happens to request a copy of the disc but then again, where is the fun in that, lol.

In other news, Ace contacted me today and he said he was ready to accept the Phobos\' Sprite Sheet and all the goodies that go with it to get an engine going. The sheet is nearly done, I\'m currently checking all the colors to make sure everything is ready to go, and I\'m putting the final touches on the finishing move. In the mean time, enjoy this new animation of Phobos\' intro. Later guys!:D
P.S. - That\'s great news Protoman SP, hope you and your game do well. Best wishes pal.
