Mega Man X Code Red is now open source - Final build showcase

[@NONE.Dragon]

A real shame. We don't see many fangames in 32 bits AND with Axl. I was really excited to see it come to fruition.

[@Gogeta769_Shippuden]

si todavia no hay de 16 bitsXD

[@NONE.Dragon]

@@Gogeta769_Shippuden No me interesa en lo mas minimo los 16 bits. Hay una sobre abundancia de juegos de 16 bits.

​​@@NONE.Dragon Casi todos los fangames de MegaMan son en 8 bits. Y por desgracia los que se aventuran a los 32 bits suelen ser cancelados.

[@andreshernandez6007]

@@NONE.DragonIf people stop bitching about Axl's character and instead give him a chance to redeem himself to become something better than what capcom made of his character maybe there would be more fan games with him, but sadly Fans on the community still persist on hating the boy just cuz appeared in a bad game, and in X8 the reason is just cuz the game was made in 2.5D and with Bass playability, there is always a complaint about him and its the excuse of not adding him to the games. I really recommend to see Innocent Impulse they are gonna add him but without a story, but they are gonna be ambitious on him apparently with a different perspective and playability never seen before so better watch this one. Sadly X Corrupted went to the OC thing with that girl, in a early build they had Axl in mind but still they decided to add OC's cuz "It's a game before X7" excuse... Anyways hopefully what doofus had in mind could have something good and let's expect the best of him.

[@andreshernandez6007]

@@dcr7119 About that, I remember someone from the megaman community asked the developer of that demake if he is thinking on add both Zero and Axl, even he said no, he said that he will open the source when the final game releases if someone else wants to add them to the mix but really is unsure if he will keeps that commitment at the release of it. He said that if adding them Axl would be more easier to implement than Zero because of the many skills need many sprites he needs for each of them. So no one knows what the future could bring. But Yeah you are right about Axl's lore wise in X8 is more important and his ending on it.

[@OmegaJX]

Even if it got cancelled, huge props for making it open source, it opens the doors for anyone willing to continue it, will look forward to your new project!

[@sharivan2006]

Very nice dude, thks so much for releasing this. Coincidentally, i had said a few days ago in public, referring to the fangame creators who gave up on their projects, if they all released the sources so that other developers could eventually continue the development, we would already have at least five projects completed.

[@MegaMacTV]

As much as I still believe that your approach to completely revamp X7 was the correct direction, it's good to see you haven't left making games entirely. Hopefully someone with the know-how can continue Code Red while you make the fantastic-looking new game the best it can be!

[@Neetso]

Seriously... *thank you so much* for making this piece of art! It's quite rare to someone nailing the X4 aesthetic with such a maestry! Hopefully other artists can pick the project up, or get inspired in their own MMX-related projects. I wish all the good luck on your next projects...! And once again, thank you. 8)

[@shanerpressley]

I'm loving all the commentary on game design elements like reducing rescue counts, implementing customized power ups, and working mini challenge rooms into the X formula. It goes to show how incredible your own game will turn out!

[@GigaLem]

better to allow the project going open source and prevent things getting lost, to anyone whom wish to continue and possibly make a complete 32 bit X7 I wish you and/or your team luck.

[@HyagoPinheiro]

Nice to see a project postmortem document like that. Even with a clear direction, developing games is hard. I hope things go more smoothly with your new project.

[@Dudupool3795]

KZbin recommended this video to me via notification and I'm impressed by the work involved in this project. I love Mega Man games so much.

[@PS3HASNOGAMES]

this honestly looks incredible and BIG ups to you for open sourcing it! can't wait to see what else you put out :D

[@joaquinbenitez5919]

Good luck with your next project! Also 10:25 animation looks sick

[@Gokuless]

Now that was some great work, kinda sad Core Red was cancelled and so the other Score Attack project, but i'm happy you're feeling more comfortable with this new project you're on. Also love how Axl crouch animation is just S Q U I S H.

[@officialdonkeykongoildrum5423]

God, the sprite-work is gorgeous, the animations are smooth, and the balances put in place are all very reasonable! I hope you go through with the boss phases idea, cause I think what you had is amazing! Cannot wait to see what else is in store!

[@TheBigDynamo]

This is genuinely a very cool video and I'm happy you showed this to us even if it was cancelled. Mega Man X7 is one of my favorite bad video games and I've wanted to make a game for it ever since I've put so much research into the game. I LOVE the idea of putting a reploid in need of rescue behind a challenge room that you could complete. Reminds me of the stage in X8 that put you in several challenge rooms and rewarded you for how well you did. Or the one from X5. Looking forward to the new Mega Man X game you're developing for sure! This is very inspiring.

[@Yasurdon]

that snes mega man x specially going up the wall looks amazing at the end there, thank you so much for making it open source

[@tronixchl2004]

Hope someone with talent takes the Open source and does something cool with.... if not, i'll save it in my hard drive and work on it in 4 years

[@MortimurGrimm]

I’d like to say thank you for all your hard work. It’s people like you that keep MegaMan alive. I really dig that X1 Zero sprite. What you had done looked great, but I understand why you felt cancelling it was best. I’m looking forward to the next project and hope it goes well.

[@apselbluestar2223]

cool to see the project has only pivoted, and itsn't completely gone. The work you guys have put in thus far is already somethin rare to see. Can't wait to see where ya go from here!

[@samquik]

Wow the frog enemy at 4:18 looks cool, almost 3D. How'd you sprite it?

[@MotivatedTomato]

I was wondering what happened with Code Red since that last video. It's a shame that it was cancelled, but I appreciate that you decided to make it open source. Also, the video is very interesting, I really enjoyed seeing how the project was planned in the beggining and how it changed with time. Thank you for taking the time to do this and I'm really looking forward to this new project you are developing!!

[@werti4894]

I gotta say, you did amazing on what IS there for this build. The player controller seems super fluid and snappy, much like the x4 to x6 games. Menuing also is REALLY clean. hopefully you get to re-use some of it in your new game!

You definitely nailed down the feel of PS1 era X physics. Just watching this video I can picture a PlayStation controller in my hands controlling this perfect. I agree with your logic in "why not just make my own x game" I look forward to seeing what you produce.

[@ModelZGolden]

Ok, muito legal saber que isso virou uma engine, muito melhor do que projetos que jogam tudo fora, estarei animado esperando pelo seus futuros projetos

[@timbo_homeslice]

A little disappointed to see Code Red cancelled. Not as many people showing love for the PSX style in the way you do here so me and my brother were very excited to find out about it. Had no idea it was cancelled so long ago. Glad to see your work is at least getting released as is. I can tell a lot of effort went into what's there. Hope your new game continues to make progress. I'm sure it will be amazing with your attention to detail. Looking forward to it.

[@benedict6962]

Those challenge rooms looked sick. I really do like a lot of the changes you made from X7, but I understand if things turned out this way.

[@FenVT]

Megaman x7 was the game I played the most of all X games (funnily enough, is the worst, but its the one Its been on my heart since my childhood XD) And to the characters to the very menu, they give me a sense of both Nostalgia and a sense of "HOLY, IS THIS WHAT X7 COULD HAVE BEEN LIKE?" It makes me sad that this project couldn't go any further, but just by having it here open source opens a lot of possibilities, I loved the fan-game project, hope to see someone finishing it in the further.

[@viruschris3160]

Never heard of Project Code Red and this seems really neat. A shame you cancelled it, but I get it. I want to make a MMX fan-game too but I plan to be X9 in a way and set up the events for MMZ. What is the Open Source for? Game Maker Studio? Godot? Unity? I’ll take a look at it when I get home. Best of luck on the new X Game Project.

A fun note of you having Slash Beast as a boss in the beta here gives me vibes of how Magma Dragoon came back in MMX5 as the "Trainer" boss in the training stage. If you had kept a beta stage and linked some stuff up, I think it still would have worked as he did it in X5 since you'd have Slash Beast as a "rough trainer" here just the same as well lol

extremely intelligent to make it open source instead of being ultra prideful and letting the project die out. At least with this being open source, somebody will probably finish it or use it as a base for other fan games

[@jerichorden6353]

Whoa, you're making a 2D version of X7? I mean it seems like there's more to it than that but that's essentially what this is? That's mad cool man, much respect. I may actually be able to play and ENJOY X7! Also, nice choice of stage music. I love the Command Mission OST and that track fits real well for the little training area you have. Edit: my ass just read the description. LoL. Sad that this got canceled, great to hear you've got something else in the works though! This is dope man I would feel proud of it if I was you no doubt :)

[@timbo_homeslice]

7:01 That's a funny little joke with the copy ability sound effect. I figure it's just a place holder but still thought it was a funny reference. It's a cool concept for the copy ability. Reminds me of the Zero Knuckle from Zero 4

Sad to see the news. But I'm looking forward to your new X project. It said that the game will based on SNES Era, I hope you would consider on making new sprite for X's stance pose since it looks dated by now. Maybe something more like how X stand in Mega Man X Corrupted. It looks so good. Good luck on your development!

[@ala.139]

You could use some kind of "select background music"

[@xtremexavier4822]

If you're interested my take, reimagining is necessary when you're looking to convert a game from one format into a completely different one, especially if the original wasn't especially robust or fully-featured. Take Sonic Triple Trouble 16 Bit for instance. I'm sure the deviations you had planned were in good faith. Nonetheless, I'd encourage you to make what you want, and if that's an original game, go right ahead.

[@empty_melodies]

Wow this was insanely impressive

[@Ryyza7]

As developer myself, I understand the frustation of being in development hell.. but i still want to say thank you for sharing to all us. for us who was borned during 2000s we all keep imagining how cool if megaman can do this and that.. seeing able to switch between zero and x itself was so cool. hope all the best for the future

[@TussalDragon344]

A Zero changing stances, thus changing weapon loadout, would be cool; basically you can change from his X4-5, X6 and X8 stances, (kinda like DMC 3-5 Dante’s Styles) changing idle animation and weapons used from those games, or from Code Red

Who knows, maybe the person who did the X8 16 bit SNES demake can pick up on this, check that out if you haven’t, all the stages are completed all that’s left is the endgame stages. Also wanna give you extra credit for showing Axl some love, he’s like the Silver the Hedgehog of Megaman.

[@cachtoithattinh3323]

Hello Dr. Doofus, thank you for sharing the project. I have 1 question: How can i make the character sprites fit perfectly in Godot frame? currently i am working on adding Axl to the roster but unlike unity sprite, i have the "Sprite Inconsistent" problem when trying to make the animation due to the sprite are splitted unequally. So can you give me a hint on how you made Zero and Axl sprite fit in frame so perfectly ??? Thank you

[@Exelle405]

In spite of the troubles through development and messyness might lie on the project files, this is a pretty incredible thing to have on open source! What are the limits for this source code? Are we allowed to use it in our own projects even commercially (at a point where there'd be no Megaman IP left on it, naturally)? I might be dumb but I can't find anything on it around.

[@Bismallahnebda2mozakra]

Man this is sad... Your ideas are magnificent... They are what truly would have made the game shine... Every single one of them are great... It's as if this was the fantasy the original creators of the game wanted with the systems but failed to achieve... Well it's sad to see the project gets discarded... But i hope you all the best in your other endeavours... But if there is a sliver of hope that you can complete this master piece... I'll cling to it.. 😅

May I ask which website can I get these megaman audio sources from? If I alse want to make fangame like this. Thanks!

[@billlee3851]

5:42 honestly I don't think it would be pace breaking, since 20XX has something similar and it's great. The fun of the X series also comes from going in different hidden places braching from the main path to find items, this is not far from that imo.

[@SinnedKnight]

Holy whoa. This is beyond impressive. As you get further in development (and, here's to hoping it's smooth and fruitful), my team would be HONORED to provide voice acting to you (and music, if you need it). Rock on. Seriously. This is fantastic.

[@alanbrito141]

I liked x having a saber and zero being able to fire and charge his buster, at least for zero it gives him a ranged option, but x doesn't benefit much from it, maybe his saber could do as much damage as a charged shot for it to be more useful
