Please! STOP SPAMMING! I hate it when people do that. No more, please...?*reports*

sorry fred:cry:just got excited because I found out how to put pics on posts.

OK then. Now here\'s something people should obey-
STAY ON TOPIC!!!
OK. Done.

does everyone think that giggles move you earn should be scramble shot?like it would make all your enemies there tiny old selves.like they would be like they were in games 1-6.i think it would be a cool idea.:D

Ok guys here\'s the deal. XIAYOU, I\'m working on the animations but they aren\'t finished yet. The idea of Megaman gaining the Scramble Shot is great. I can make it a Level Five ability, turning all onscreen enemies into their 8-Bit counterparts! Cool pics by the way. And thanks for the suggestion Nightmare, I like it. Right now I want to focus on getting the engine going and a demo out. And this is where I ask for any of you out there to lend a helping hand. Ace has informed me that he requires all the sprite sheets for the weapons. He needs these to program them into the engine first before we can compose a demo. I\'m asking anyone who has any free time on their hands to tackle a sprite sheet or two which is basically recoloring a Megaman sprite sheet with the colors I tell you to use. I won\'t lie, it sucks, it\'s boring but it has to be done. All I need is a few volunteers to help speed thigns along. Remember, the faster this gets done, the faster we are to getting a demo out. I\'ve already started a few and I\'ll post some pics to show you how overhwhelming this is just in case anyone wants to see what exactly has to be done.

It\'s a lot of work, I know. If anyone wants to help, email me at gorak_yee@hotmail.com, PM me or post it on the board. Thanks everyone!

Back to business. Now that, that is out of the way, here\'s a new animation I made showcasing Solaris\' multiple abilities. Megaman is pictured, in Phobos\' level(what do you guys think of it?) and he is showing three different levels of Solaris\' power. Level One - A standard beam of sunlight. Level Three - A circle of light absorbs the sunlight around Megaman and can heal him, for each cube of Weapon Energy is lost, a cube of Life Energy is regained. Level 4 - Charged variation of Level 1 ability. (Note that the bullet which Megaman shoots will be shot further before exploding.) I plan on the Level Five ability to have Megaman absorb the light around him and shoot it out, destroying all onscreen enemies. I need ideas for a Level Two ability so I can finish the sheet and send it to Ace. Enjoy guys and tell me what you think.

P.S Fred, Void is almost done and he looks pretty sweet.

I hope you can post void soon zero.But I have giggles move suggestions.1-shoots exploding balloons.2-megaman gets the ability to hold on to a huge balloon and fly to unreachable destinations.5-mega turns into a balloon and flys across the screen killing whatever it touches.4-scramble shot.3-like in X5 when he charges up groundfire instead shooting hundreds of balloon animals.

pm me the base sprites and ill recolor them and maybe even send u some original work.

unknown Im chalked full of ideas. Just ask if you need some more and I\'ll give \'em to ya\'.By the way but have you finished those sketches and void yet?look forward to seeing them.Im pming you for some info so check if you have any new pms.By the way did you like my giggles ideas? hope so.

Thanks so much guys, your selflessness brings tears to my eyes. I PMed you the sheets but I noticed that the first link is messed up so cut and paste and remove the /> from the end of the link. I really appreciate this guys. You can email me the final sheets. Fred, Nayus, I owe you big time. Thanks guys!:D

Let me have those ideas XIAYOU, you never fail to satisfy me with your ideas. In fact, here\'s a little animation based on your idea of giving Megaman the scramble shot, it will be the Lv5 ability for the Giggles Weapon. And yes, I loved your Giggles ideas. More to come. Enjoy!!

can u pm ur email

Hey I have a suggestion. Have you named that acid seeker yet? You could name him after a poison or sewage or even Nausea. Keep up the work, sounds like its gonna be a great game.

I like the new scramble shot pics.but I think that you should make that like level six or something and just make a little blast level five.Just an idea and I hope your seekers turn out kool and I like the names and elements.Hope you can put up pics of them and the 4 mystery men soon.:)

By the way sorry to DP but I was wondering if you need more ideas fer void and or the four you pmed me.if you do just tell me.I got millions.Btw zero can you pm me all the colors of the seekers youve shown me.THANX 0_o!!!

Thanks for the comments Ned Flanders. Great names, keep\'em coming. I want a wide selection before I make a final decision.

Well, XIAYOu, since the highest level will be Five the Scramble Shot will be for that level. I considered having it for a lower level power but that would make the move less special seeing how Level Five powers will conmuse the entire weapon energy meter thus allowing it to be used once.

Alright, taking an idea of XIAYOU\'s for Giggles\' finishing move and tweaking it be make it more silly, is the basis of this new animation. I was up all night perfecting it but a blackout caused me to lose my unsaved data.:cry: So here is the early, and rather crappy sketch to give you all a hint of the finishing move. The animation isn\'t all that smooth since it needs more frames and such. The upside is, since I\'ve lost the old animation, I\'ve made a better one and I\'m currently perfecting it. I\'m also workng like a horse, thinking of weapon abilities and drawing sprites to get them to Ace as soon as possible. I appreciate Fred and Dante\'s help, and I can\'t thank them enough, you guys are great.
P.S Void is done but I want to run something by Fred before I post the link.
And what did you all think of Solaris\' abilites? Great, sucky, let me know. Thanks!
http://www.angelfire.com/mech/distantshadows/Giggles_-_Finishing_Move.gif

The finisher is ok but my idea was that giggles grabs mega and starts blowing on him and mega gets fatter and fatter until he becomes a balloon and pops.By the way please please please please pm me the seekers you didnt show im dying to see them and pm me the colors of the seekers you told me about.If you need any udeas TELL me and ill dish em\' out.

I\'ve got more names but I think you\'ll like this the most, Assasin.

Assassin, that is a great name Flanders! Looks like XIAYOU\'s Greeny has some competetition, lol. Seriously, if you have other ideas, let me know. Assassin...perhaps I canuse that name for a new Seeker altogether...

I\'m aware of your idea XIAYOU, as I said that was the sketch, the new one has Giggles wrapping his long arm around Megaman, dragging him towards him and pumping him full of air. Megaman floats up and Giggles jumps on him and pops him. And as far as ideas, I need some for Weapon Abilities so if you got any, for any boss weapon, tell me, that goes for all of you!!
Here are the remaining ability sheets that need to be done. If anyone besides Fred and Nayus are willing to recolor one sheet than by all means go ahead and email me the finished sheet. And XIAYOU, you can also see the colors of the remaining bosses on these sheets as Megaman takes the exact colors of the boss.

And to wrap things up is a new aniamtion of the Lv. 5 Solaris ability in use( I still need an idea for a Lv. 2 ability if anyone can help). And also...a new Seeker!! Well, not quite, he\'s not done but you can get the jist by looking at the pic. Enjoy guys!

http://www.angelfire.com/mech/distantshadows/Granite_-_Pieces.gif

assassin could be like a samurai shadowman or something

I think you can make the solaris lv. 2 an orb that can bounce off the walls.
Here is some more acid seeker names:
sludge
slime
venom
fangs

Holy Shit.. I looked at each of these sprites and I must say.. You are truly the master spriter :cool: I had a idea for a stage enemy.. You see that sprite I got in my avatar? He can appeer in some stages (or act as a mini boss) and attack megaman feircly by throwing skulls

Nice zero blank at the moment but ill be back with tons of seeker abilitys.

how about cobalt or frost bite.

I just finished recoloring all the seeker abilitys in under 20 minutes! 0_o; I am speedy.

Damn, Fred, you are my GOD!!! Now I can get started making all the abilities. Speaking of which, I sat down today and considered all the powers and I came up with all of them. Read carefully and tell me what you think, I\'ll only post 6 since I want to shock all of you with the really cool ones. And notice Flanders, that I used your idea for Solaris, thanks man!

Thanks to you too Farseer Nolom, and great names, I especially like Corrosion!

But Cobalt is a cool name too, Nayus, I\'m torn, lol! =) Also, Frostbite was Freon\'s original name, lol.

So check out the abilities guys and tell me what you think. I\'ll post some fresh animations of them in action tommorow. Enjoy guys and keep the feedback coming.

I have some freon moves for you zero:
level1:frost beam, freezes first enemy it touches.weak.

level4:megaman gets a frost sheild around him for an amount of time and it freezes whoever he comes in contact with.

Hope you like my ideas and ihave more comin\'.:D
