I was drawing a Mega Man-style Stage Select Head.

At first, it was just a bot head. But I added some pupils and BOOM. So I looked up any Mega Man-ish projects on here. And I have to say. I like your's the most.



This is just a test picture. I could re-draw it if you would like me to.

I hope you reply soon. :)

Dude! I love what you did with the colors!

Also, I sent you a message on Facebook, I believe it's in the "Other Folder".

I drew an enemy as well. I hope I can help with this game. More art [A little blurry.">

It is kind of a mix-mash of two enemies. If you need me to dray anything, just list it/them here. :)

You can see some examples of Rockbot art here:
http://sourceforge.net/p/rockbot-game/code/844/tree/v1/build/data/images/

Some are propetary (from Capcom) and need to be replaced by new art, I hope you can help me doing that :)

Sure thing :)
I need some bosses for final stages. I'm currently using graphics from other games for those.

1. One form of tank/ballista:

2. This one is meant to be something technological or alien-like. Something like the "cube" in megaman 4 (http://www.sprites-inc.co.uk/files/Classic/MM4/Boss/FortressBoss/mm4_fortressbosses.gif) or the Circle in Megaman 5 (http://www.sprites-inc.co.uk/files/Classic/MM5/Boss/FortressBoss/mm5_fortressbosses.gif)

3. Some form of giant robot (like Gemini, the final boss in Megaman 3):

You do not need to worry in making them great right now, create some ideas, and we'll work together to bring them to the Megaman style :)

>It's called "Rockbot", but you play as two bots.
The original idea was being able as two players simultaneous (like Contra). I had this feature working before, but it was too much trouble to code the engine while maintaining this, so I removed it, for now. I plan to bring it back on 1.1 version. That said, they are both like X and Zero from Megaman X, you can play as Zero, but the game is called Megaman X anyway. Rockbot is meant to be the main character, as (SPOILERS) Beta will be departing at the end of the game to live free (as Protoman).

>I've been playing the game a lot. And I have to say, that it has some great programming.
Thanks a lot, its been several years coding this stuff, it is finally paying off. Still need to fix some bugs and mostly enemies and bosses artificial inteligence for the 1.0 release.

>Was this from scratch?
Yes. I had made some small tests of an RPG Final Fantasy like code that I was able to ran on PS2. After 6 months, Megeman 9 was announced WITHOUT PS2 support, and that made me angry with Capcom, as the game could run on PS2 easily, so I decided to create an engine for the game, where I could recreate megaman 9 (still plan to do, heheeh). Later, I found it was better if I could have my own story/graphics/game to make it trully open-source, so Rockbot was born.

> I might try to draw Dynamitebot soon
You can see some artwork I did, as inspiration, here:
DeviantArt
Art
Some hand drawing
Screenshots from oooold versions - here you can see two simultaneous players.

>I can do tilesets, but I'm more focused on Enemies right now. Ideas and such.
Yes, tilesets are kind of easy, once you have the ideas. I did it for some stages like Daisie's, but some like Spike have to be redone, but first retought, as the stage kind of... have nothing to do with it :)

I have some new artwork I'm working on, I'll update deviant art later and tell you. I use a program called Paint Tool Sai for that, really easy, but I lack the skills to create poses, that is why I bought an figure of Megaman and Protoman from eBay, eheheh.
Anyway, I'm from Brazil southest region (Rio grande do Sul), where are you from?

I live in a place were, in the same month snows, rains flooding several cities and then is hot like summer in the winter. Seriously, just happened in the last 30 days, from -4ºC to 35ºC :)

I studied electronics on school, then started electic enginering and dropped it for Computer Science. All this time I was fascinated by games, both as hardware and software. SOme years ago I was able to build some test-code to run on a PSX, but it was very limited as code needed to be assembly. After I got a small test running on PS2, I decided I was going to develop games, even if not as my daily work, so Rockbot was born. It is a long-long project, but I do not intent to abandon it, ever.

We need a way to share files. Do you use google drive or some cloud storage system?

About the intro screen you changed, I liked your adjusts, except for the red background in the logo. I used green to be different than Rockman logo on purpose ;)

I want those 3 bosses I told you before, and a drawing for the Evil Doctor Skull castle would be very good. The idea is a castle surrounded by a giant mechanic dragon.

I drew a new version of techno man using the color pallet you wanted. Notice how some bolts are a light-green.



You can see it on my Deviant Art too.

I hope to see him and much more of my art in the next update of the game. :)

Sure thing! I'll just play with his colors a bit when I get home and it will be on place :D

I hate to say it, but I think I'm too colorful for the NES-appeal you want.

I'll still do the art, but I'll leave [most of] the coloring to you.

I want to tackle the Bosses first, who next?

I redid some of Rockbot's sprites for you.
I'll probably do Beta next.

I also have some ideas on how to implement two players at once. But those will need a be explained a bit later on this weekend.

The game looks high grade
