Happy older day! I suppose it's just because there isn't really much to talk about. Nonetheless, it's always exciting when you upload a new page!

Yay for being older. Also, ATTENTION TO DETAIL, the life gauge is slightly depleted. GJ

Happy older day! I suppose it's just because there isn't really much to talk about. Nonetheless, it's always exciting when you upload a new page! Thanks, and thanks! As always, if there's anything you would like to see happen in RMDL, just let me know! Yay for being older. Also, ATTENTION TO DETAIL, the life gauge is slightly depleted. GJ Like in Gundam SEED, broadcasting vital stats like your armor levels to your enemy is a viable combat strategy! Update: New Page is up! Hooray for gratuitous property damage!

Yeah like that Space horror game (the name escapes me) where you have a life gauge in the back of your exoskeleton... And Rock didn't even considered that the repair money might come from his pocket... BECAUSE THATS FAIR.

Hah, there isn't too much to say in the middle of combat, but keep the awesome coming and happy belated birthday. *Shoots a glare at Proboards V5 and its awful, awful, AWFUL birthday system or lack thereof.* I wonder who will win? Nah, too obvious.

If we're going by cool factor, I want Tron to win. Anyway: One of the bigger challenges has been establishing The Bonnes as being capable in their own right, something which I want to carry over from the MoTB story arc. In this case, I have always seen Tron in the games as the field tactician who not only knows how to coordinate a heist but also fight on-foot in situations which need it; she only had the horrible misfortune of having The Invincible Barell as an opponent.

Happy belated birthday!
Also, I have started reading your RMDL manga and it's awesome so far!

Happy belated birthday! Also, I have started reading your RMDL manga and it's awesome so far! Cool. Please tell me what you think (and what you want to see in it)! On a whim, I started redoing one of the pages in the prologue just today, resulting in:

And the remake page is done! ( Mikéy , Dashe : how long did I take when I first drew that, by the way? ) Redrawn (2016):
| Original (2011):

I really like the art and how it's more like a manga than a comic. And the stuff added to it is really cool too, like when Roll had to explain about the importance of Deflectors and Rock didn't really listen to what she was saying, and when Barrell and the mayor needed to fight the Servbots. Also, the mask that Rock wears during his fight against Tron kinda reminds me of MegaMan.EXE, because EXE wears a mask when he fights.
That remake page looks great!

I'd have to go back and scan timestamps to have any remote idea. I think you were set on going full-color initially until Dashe suggested going monochrome to save time. I'm guessing it was still a drag for a little while? The redrawn page is great, and Rock's armor looks a lot more natural in places. E: I just zoomed in on the refractor from the original page and the right side looks extremely wide. Hah.

And the stuff added to it is really cool too, like when Roll had to explain about the importance of Deflectors and Rock didn't really listen to what she was saying, and when Barrell and the mayor needed to fight the Servbots. Again, thanks for reading! Glad you enjoyed the new content added into the adaptation. I admit I was taking a small risk when I decided to change some names (or just their spelling) to their Japanese equivalents for the sake of narrative and continuity (also because "Megaman" feels like a silly first name). On the flip-side, I went with the English dub names for some elements and characters like the Servbots partly because "Kobun" doesn't feel like a name the German-themed Bonnes would give to them. I mentioned it in the glossary before, but "Servbot" works as a great play on words because their name sounds very similar to "Saboru" which basically means "to slack off", thus making them "Slacker Robots". But at any rate it worked out I guess! Always glad to know little nods to the other series have not gone unnoticed. Thanks! Now to consider whether I should replace the old one (or fit in both on the main site somehow). I'd have to go back and scan timestamps to have any remote idea. I think you were set on going full-color initially until Dashe suggested going monochrome to save time. I'm guessing it was still a drag for a little while? Well monochrome definitely helped me save time (and ink for Dashe I believe!). When I first started, I was spending a lot of time with preparing common tools and establishing a format such as line width of textboxes, what can/should be automated (or not), and so on. But with that (mostly) out of the way now... Thanks! I'm definitely working on improving the hands into more plausible gloves for RMDL compared to the original art's "cylinder fingers" you spoke of... Hah, yeah. I couldn't perspective back then. :/

I think I remember hearing that Megaman being a silly first name is the reason why one of the options is Hippopotamus for the question that asks for Megaman's name in MML1. Also, yeah, Servbots are sometimes slackers. XD

I think I remember hearing that Megaman being a silly first name is the reason why one of the options is Hippopotamus for the question that asks for Megaman's name in MML1. Well that's news to me! I just thought that it was another Capcom pun as the Japanese word for hippopotamus is "Kaba", which when reversed becomes "Baka", or something like that... Despite their childish 'slacker' ways, for all we know it could just be their 'default mode' when not dealing with threats that would directly affect the Bonne family. By that logic, should said threat go by the names of Loath or some guy named Glyde, on the other hand... Anyway, next page is coming up in less than 24 hours!

(And the quick quote button won't show up again...)
I've also heard that the "Baka" pun is one of the reasons. So you're not really wrong about that.
Also, cool! I can't wait for the next page!
