Arrow-1's Clockwork Series: Mega Man X

[arrowone]

Here's to the kickoff of my first game engine, and furthermore, the start of the clockwork series! The idea behind the Clockwork series is to present true-to-the-original game engines. I decided to start with Mega Man X, because I know the series so well and because resources are so readily available. (Favoritism played a part as well. The game will hopefully feature a custom (at the least, remixed or arranged) soundtrack, a full array of sound effects, and edited or custom sprites, as well as original stage designs.

All iterations in the Clockwork series will be made in the latest registered version of the Game Maker software. If the demand is great enough, I will make a conscious effort to supply a version for non-registered users, but I will not make versions for past versions of Game Maker.

With that, here is a link to the GMK file, an executable for non-programmers who want to see what has been done, and a list of what is included here. Please note that a feature highlighted in green is active, in yellow is new, in blue is currently under development, and red is on a waiting list. If I have named any of the enemies or characters incorrectly, please inform me.

GMK: Link down. Will be restored upon release of version 2.0. Please be patient!
EXE: www.mediafire.com/?2yxvwdxmxld (be warned, this is released far earlier than expected, and is likely to contain many glitches)

What did you think of it?

Also...

Update: One of the eight bosses. I drew it very quickly today during class.



Also: Prelim sketches of stage backgrounds and ride armor. These all apply to the stage you've played.







This ride armor has no name yet. Its hands have been replaced with wrecking ball mechanisms, attached to the end of super powerful poles. Kind of like a plastic action figure with ROCKET PUNCH ACTION!

Update: Today's work.

Notice: I've just finished the death and damage system. It will be completely activated in the next version, without fail. It works perfectly, so far as I can tell.

It has come to my attention that the original download link has died. If you really want to download it now, use this link. BE WARNED, it is being released a full week before it was intended to be, so it's probably got a number of glitches.

Uh, guys, just wanna say something right now:

Progress here is gonna slow down.

And not just by a little bit.

By a lot.

See, there's this program called Stencyl. They're basically doing the same thing I am here. So I talked to them, and it turned out they needed a spriter. Now I'd have to be an idiot to pass up a deal to work with them on THIS kind of a deal.

So yeah, I'm part of the team working on the Blue Bomber kit now. I'll try to work here, but most of my efforts are going to be put forth to meeting my deadlines. Anybody who wants the editable file can contact me at any time.

Ok, so you haven't finished the first level yet? Because I got to the room right after the Guardian G and then a RAP basic appears out of the sky and the door wouldn't open.

And I think you made the Discus Armor too powerful. Maybe making it so after only a few hits of the default/semi charged shot, the shield flys up?
