Yes, and since were making a pc game we don't have to worry about space. like i said once one mission is done beta can be released. remember it is a one by one mission game.(download one, next one, next one until we quit making them. it won't delete saves NOR will the other missions be deleted.) and once we get a great deal of gameplay done we could make a ruins editor!
but lets not overdue it. But now that mega mans walking, were getting progress.

I'd just as soon wait until you guys have done more than a few things before "playing" it, unless it's just a testing phase or whatever.

If the game gets going faster we may just beta test ourselves first and if we find very few bugs then will do a public beta test . We will not release the first mission beta because it will very little gameplay and will be mostly cinamatic. By the way we plan to have multiple endings depending on what you do during the game. we'll try to make the missions more free by allowing you to explore other Islands rather than just completing the mission on the island. Ok now IF we decide to do voice acting (which I'm currently not sure of) the beta testers will get first dibs on which character to voice.

Being someone who can't model, I must say it looks nice. The tiny portion of Elysium looks a bit too much like something I'd see from Quake 3 but considering it's in the works, I am considering myself lucky to see anything that comes. That and I have not played Legends 2 in months. It was techy looking anyway.
Yeah, you said I should PM you about beta-testing but eh, kill two birds with one stone. Count me in.
The Flutter doors look like the Flutter doors from the game. Nice. I'm not going to say much else until you have a more developed version.
Ideas, I'm all for a new island or two. (WEEDMORE - TEE HEE ... Don't take that seriously.) I suppose I'll contribute more to the ideal pool when more is revealed.
Oh yeah, speaking of copyrights, which seem to be a big thing:
I don't think Capcom is going to bother you about it unless the project becomes very big and threatens their profit margin. Selling it will set them off, of course. Also, note that in the game mod community, the mods that are based off comics and superheroes, etc. get away from their copyright holders on a daily basis. I like to think of this project in that category - just another fanwork, like fanart and fanfiction. Capcom is very unlikely to bother you guys.
That is, like what I've said, it gets big.
Bid for Power, a massive Quake III mod, used to be about Dragonball characters until FUNimation threatened them with legal action, as the site's hit tally was well into the millions. You see, FUNi hired some other game designers, Wizworks, I think, to make their own Dragonball game and they probably wanted to sqwunch out their illegal competition.
So they did. The mod finally came out and sucked.
FOX is also pretty malicious when it comes to fan things, they notorious for shutting down the giant Simpsons fansite on occasion. I haven't seen Capcom threaten like the above two companies yet but I would not be surprised if they had at one point or another.
Yet again, they seem to have a clean lawsuit list; the fanbase is let off easily. Look at all the RPGmaker games and sprite comics.
Given Legends' tiny fanbase, I say the last you have to worry about is a lawsuit.
Worry more about making this game look good. XP

Our levels are not the same as our models. The model format in are game creator stinks. It stretches the skin and screws up the models. As for the levels they use textures which don't get screwed up. The Megaman model is not going to compare to the level graphics. Anyway Thank you for realizing the actuallity of the lawsuit thing Fire Griffin. Anyway of all I did a little research and came up with that as long as you own the game(mml2) everything we plan to do in ours is legal. We wanted to show a cutscene from mml2 but if a person doesn't have it will just send a version with the cutscene cut. Anyway as soon as we get a Beta of the first 2 missions and they are moderatly tested we will email it to anyone who pms us. But the graphics in some areas may not be complete, animation of models may be screwed up , the models may not function fully . this game will probably not look as good as mml2 in some areas and look way better in others . Soon we may post are embarassingly bad megaman model picture , and we can't fix do to our model editor. If by some reason capcom makes us shut down our project at least they'll notice the fanbase.

Reguardless of criticisms I am now very excited for your game. When I saw the thread when it was first posted I went... ehh another one, CLICK close box. But now that I've seen some examples I am more convinced of what you guys are capable of. I am excited to see megaman, can't wait!

First of all we are now creating calbania which is where we think think roll and tron are creating the rockets. we also have a little more of the flutter done . Anyone who wants to Beta test I guess could just post since I have to go to school and don't have much time anymore.But since Fire Griffin was our second person to offer Beta test he will get to choose which voices he wants to act 2nd IF we do voice acting . Our story is pretty well developed with alot of the bonnes. (from reading posts people wanted more bonnes). Though our story is a little silly at the moment it will probably be straightened out before the first beta oh ya ,everybody I consider us SEMI PROFESSIONAL I sortof like it , were not pro but were not beginners.

Silly is good if it's FUNNY silly, not "poorly done" silly, if you know what I mean. Servbot tripping over a rock = ;D Teisel walking through a rock instead of tripping over it = By the way, make sure you have someone edit your text boxes whenever you get to that point. I'll do it if you can't find anybody else. Sometimes it's hard to see mistakes in something you wrote yourself.

No, but sort of its a little less serious like very silly at times like when you fight tron you can ...well when the mission comes you'll find out , anyway you have ability to become a pirate yourself fight police, rob ships and abandon your family.(sounds like fun ;D)Or you could be a good person respect people and stuff. or you could mix it up a little like sortof bad sortof good. but the story is kind of silly with some things that are funny and some that try to be funny. No but its not poorly done

Yeah, I like that idea. It's like you're taking the whole "St. MegaMan/ devil MegaMan" concept from the games and just running with it. You're going even further than they did, which I think is pretty freakin' awesome.

Heres another progress screenshot of the elysium Just some some minor clean, some to be done still. Even though school has started, we are still continuing a normal pace and showing no signs of stopping. and we expect to soon get a screenshot of megamans model...(its not pretty but its improving) were implementing a ragdoll physics engine to handle movement when touch or shoot objects. As of the flutter, we realize some flaws still... we will try to fix this. As a side note, we may have a "rematch" at sual kada

Looks pretty good to me. Remind me what that object is in the center of the screenshot. Is it a generator or what?
