What did you do to create the room with Tiled?

nice

I have an idea for Bond Man's boss pattern that would fit MM1. He'd have two attacks, a glue shot and a line of rapid fire regular shots. Getting hit with the glue shot doesn't hurt you but will make you get stuck for a short period of time and force you down to the ground if you were in the air. You can get out of the glue faster by mashing left and right. The glue shot also obeys gravity and will drift downwards after being shot. For his pattern, he'll start just running left and right, turning when he hits a wall. If Mega Man presses A, he'll jump in the air and fire a glue shot. If Mega Man is glued down, he'll fire rapid fire shots at you. If Mega Man presses B, he'll fire rapid fire shots at you and then jump. The strategy would likely involve baiting him by pressing A at the right time, so he'll jump without you getting hit by the glue shot. The weapon he gives is the glue shot itself. It works just like his own glue shot, except it actually does do damage. It would be good against flying enemies which would force them into the ground and automatically destroy them. As for weapon weakness... I'd probably go with Guts Man, since I feel like that would be one of the more risky options.

Awesome Level! It really felt like you took the good parts about the MM1 level design and put them to good use with this. Also didn't expect to hear my remake of that One Shot One Kill theme! Thanks for the credit!

Michaelwave can you make a megaman fangame

I honestly couldn't understand the voice very well, but still, the art and the level layout looks so nice! It's a nice usage of the guts lifts and feels very faithful! Good work :3

wow

Great stage

I love that this simultaneously feels like a MM1 level, while also feeling unique from the other MM1 levels. For a boss fight, I think that Bond Man would try to trap you in place, and then slam into you from above. Like other MM1 bosses, it wouldn't need to be complicated.

Those vertical Guts Lifts give me Nail Man flashbacks @_@

It's always fun to see other people replicate the MM1 art and level design style. Nice work.

I challenge you to propose this to the indie devs working on Mega Man Maker

Sweet

I remember when I made a level for bond man in Mega Man maker back when it was called Mega Maker, it became pretty popular

Mega man 1 custom levels? Never though I’d see the day As a level desinger I have to say this is very good, but heads up, next time you do mega man levels jump when entering a boss door:)

Pretty good, and much better than my Bond Man from MAGMML2!

Bond man’s weakness: mega buster

The MM1 guy is here to ruin the day or something I guess? Things that are spot-on: - Graphical style is very accurate. You had 3 16x16 stage specific tile slots unused which is pretty close to MM1's space limit. It's true that MM1 didn't use its 4 palettes cleverly, but 2 of the 4 palettes are left completely unused here. - Guts Lifts, Gabyoalls and Killer Bullets being able to appear on screen at the same time without graphical glitches. Edit: There'd be even enough RAM space for the barrel enemy's graphics too actually. Nice. - Gabyoalls only treat solid blocks as walls in MM1, they go through spikes and ice blocks. You successfully avoided putting them next to 1 tile high glue blocks, even if by accident. Edit: As a fun fact, MM3's electric ones don't even check for walls lmao - Guts Blocks are not placed on different backgrounds before the boss corridor. The game loads a different 32x32 texture in place of the block before and after the first boss door. Things that I'll let slide: - MM1's engine can only do 4 different collision types at once. This is because palette data and collision data for a single 32x32 block is stored in a single byte. Bitwise $10, $20, $40, $80 are for collision, $01, $02, $04 and $08 are for palette data, and which collision bit is which block type is read from a lookup table. Your level breaks this limit, as it has Null, Solid, Ladder, Spike, and Glue. It however would be possible to trick a part of the collision system to consider ladders as spikes on certain circumstances for example with a simple enough hack. Since your enemies do not interact differently with the glue blocks, I'll just assume there's code in place that overrides the output of the map reading subroutine by reading the player's location and comparing it to screen and x position lookup tables, and depending on the result, it swaps the ladder block type to the glue block type. I actually did this in my WIP MM1 hack, as rewriting half of the game just to be able to use more block types at once would have been a nightmare. It just works. The technical stuff you wouldn't know about without touching the MM1 level editor at least once: - You didn't use the NES section type scroll stops at all. MM1 room data is made up of 8x8 32x32 metatiles, with the bottom 16x16 tile row completely ignored when reading the room data. In short, if someone decided to remake this level in the actual ROM, they would be missing some tile data. However, there's a bigger problem... - There are only 192 unique 32x32 metatiles available to use per RM/Wily stage pair in MM1. The engine can't do more without... doubling the ROM size and rewriting the entire game to store each level data in a different bank and rearranging all the data in the ROM. You used 240 or so unique 32x32 metatiles. That's about 2-2.5 RM stages worth of 32x32 metatile data! MM1's space constraints are that ridiculous. - In vertical sections, falling down on the wrong side of the screen back into a multiple-screen horizontal section would cause the camera to instantly focus on Mega Man in the original game. Not a good sight to be honest. The room at 8:28 and 9:58 are good examples, both having pits on the left side with a horizontal section down below. The originals (notably Cut Man) always tried to make it impossible to fall back to the previous screen in these cases. - In MM1, Guts blocks can only be placed on a 32x32 grid (from the top-left of the screen) without the game overriding the wrong background tiles. Loading graphics is done entirely in 32x32 chunks. It really sucks actually. Not only that, Mega Man would fall inside the blocks after the screen transition, as Guts Block collision is completely disabled during and after screen transitions until the player regains control of Mega Man. That's why Cut Man's boss room has a small ledge next to the door. Enabling the collision would open up a different can of worms... The technical stuff you wouldn't know about without looking at the game much closer: - Mega Man 1's engine simply cannot do the lift screen transition without major modifications to the screen transition and object handling subroutines. It'd be possible to code this though (albeit would probably use up the remaining free space in the ROM, leaving none for anything else), and vertically* moving lifts are completely doable. Edit: How did I type horizontally instead of vertically?

making a fangame now that's exclusively bond man's stage and nothing else like there's 8 robot masters but they're all bond man and all of the wily stages are just bond man as well mega man: bond man edition gonna be the first mega man game to sell 1 bondillion copies JOKES ASIDE I did actually play the stage it felt super accurate to the weird janky charm of mega man 1

, but what did you use to make this:$

Oh yeah geometry dash classic woo

Great video Michaelwave

Awesome!

I don't know enough about mega man to know why bond man doesn't already have a stage, but this is cool good job

i love your sprites they look so true to the original art style

This looks cool but there's no score counter, making it absolutely unplayable (Good job tho this is cool)

Dayum, don't you secretely work on capcom?

BOND MAN GOT A NEW STAGE 🎉🎉😎🥳🥫

ah yes, this is how i remember electroman adventures

like that little reference to battle network's tittle screen

Wow, this track is impressive; the melody is spectacular. Excellent work! All the tracks in this game are absolute bangers.

This was supposed to be Knight man But Little Michael said "No, thats enough levels"

I love how unique and interesting these boss weapons look.

Very good and enjoyable game for real. Good concept of linearity and I wish you add more as it has some really fun and true aspect of Mega Man gimmicks. Not sure if it is just me but I didn't get any weapon while progressing haha.I hope to see more from you in this game.

Mega Man deserves more love. And this goes to show it.

My wife left me

What were the two unused tracks going to be used for?

Great levels! should be better known.

Oh, this IS on KZbin, like OFFICIALLY. Cool! Anyways, favorite track in the game, easily, though Macro did a great job on the whole thing.

I loved it

WOW!!!

cute romp! fun levels with some pretty cool and unique gimmicks. really like having the weapons not be from the bosses but instead from the secret levels. got a lot of use out of pipi eggs and the tornado jump weapon lol. reminded me of the blaster master zero trilogy with its progression in that way of having to find your upgrades in secret sections but otherwise you will have a fairly linear set of levels. very promising start, hope to see more from you in the future!

very solid short project. was pretty impressed by the inventiveness of the weapons and gimmicks, especially. would definitely love to see a longer-form project from you, a lot of promise with this one

shouldve been called "Exposed through booth"

Okay so.... twodoller

Very short and sweet romp that makes me hope we see more fan games like this! Seeing full-on Mega Man games being developed is nice, but too many of them run into snags that get them slowed down or canceled. Also see this game having some serious speedrun potential!

iphone dont be cracked the iphone:

game was dope, love this song

Just played the game and came here and oh my goodness this has to be my fav theme in this game by far

Might check it out once I get back from my trip. Looks pretty fun.
