MegaMan X: Corrupted - New HUD and testing new screen resolution

New HUD and testing new resolution. This is the closest i can get to 16:9 without affecting the difficulty balance of the game too much.
I like the new resolution a lot but we're not yet committed to the change, it still needs some more testing.
Please share your thought on it down below.
NOTE: There are some visible issues with the parallax on the video due to the resolution changes.

I found out when I was 13 now I’m 19 bro this shit is crazy I just check up on it like every two years and it STILL doesn’t have at least a demo, I’m absolutely in love with the X series if only we could have a little sprinkle of this game 😢

[@pokelover1743]

there's no plans to be a demo, though

[@arkhe1n107]

The new resolution is neat, but If you think that changing the game resolution will make the development longer, then it's better to just stick to the original one. Nice work so far!

[@MrSantiaghost]

Good job! You are probably tired of hearing/reading this, but I can't wait to play it

Capcom ought to hire you to make this into an official X9. This looks better than most of the actual canon X series...

[@Angelo_X_2045]

I'm hoping and praying that this doesn't get shut down and that Capcom notices and hires JKB to produce this game for all current gen consoles and PC. They need to take notes from Sega when they hired Christian Whitehead to release his Sonic games on the phone as well as Sonic Mania. (Sorry about the run-on sentences)

[@zerorevenger105]

Resolution: Prefer this newer one, no need to cater to nostalgia for the sake of it. Being able to see more is always welcome. HUD: Liked the older one, seemed cleaner and simpler. I'd even prefer vertical lifebars since they're easier to look at with a quick glance.

[@zerorevenger105]

​@AUTIST KIKE Just thinking it over after over after I made that comment, I came to the conclusion that the reason for why I feel this way is because horizontally the lifebar seems more pixelated than it looks vertically. If they were both as sharp it would be an easier comparison from there. But no, what you're essentially saying is "it's better because it's better". It's a preference, and one that's shared if you look at other comments. Also, it does change in fact change visual accessibility when players have been conditioned by previous Megaman games to look at the extreme left instead of the top. I do still think with a vertical bar you can spend some fraction of time less gauging your health than a horizontal one. It's not a big deal though.

[@SparkTFS]

With each update this game is getting more of its own identity, good work dude!

[@JayVGBND]

Been waiting... forever... 10 years later: ...still waiting... not giving up hope just yet...

[@Water_meter_enthusiast]

I love the way that you implemented that Megaman Zero style life bar and how fluidly the boss knock back works. This is the best introduction of new mechanics applied to classic gameplay that I've ever seen.

[@az8557]

The environment looks awesome, the gameplay so smooth yet difficult enough to evolve as you advance and the music completes the epicness. You are building a path to legend, thank you so much for sharing with us, really brights my day :)

[@shanemcgee9641]

Personally, I like the new HUD. But the old one was still great and nostalgiac. It seems that people are pretty divided on it, so is this something you could set up as an option prior to starting a game? Same with the resolution? I mean, we all know you can't make everyone happy, but if you could manage ti make it optional it'd be beneficial. I'm sure everyone is as excited and impressed with this game as I am and shouldn't complain either way so I say just do whatever works best for you.

[@Salim-RS]

I second this as well, pretty much my idea lol

[@benedict6962]

This is a level of options detail that can wait until the game is done.

I count on you . you are ... the world's hope

[@Angelo_X_2045]

Have you tried reaching out to Capcom to see if they are interested in employing you the way Sega did with Christian Whitehead? You've dedicated so much time and effort into this and because of that, I don't want Capcom to ever hit you with a "Cease and Desist" upon it's actual release. If Capcom does employ you, you guys can do a Kickstarter to raise money for the project and neither you nor them would have to pay a penny to release this game. Every current Gen console gamer plus PC user who have been keeping up with your work would be ecstatic enough to donate wayyyy more than enough money to ensure that this game is well funded and released on their platform of choice. I'm going to be honest, I'd back $300 to see this released on the Switch (to enjoy it while traveling). I'd be so happy that I wouldn't care about a Season Pass, I'd pay for post-launch DLCs individually if you intend on continuing to expand on it as well. I wouldn't care how much money I need to pony up for this game, and I think those who have been looking forward to this project most likely feel the same way, we just want to make sure that you are rewarded for your passion, and that the game (when released) is able to be downloaded anytime without worrying about it being taken off like AM2R did. Please please please JKB, please reach out to Capcom about this, this is not just any Megaman X game... It's one being made with EXTREME Passion and that's what we as X fans DEEPLY appreciate. I'm sorry for the long paragraphs and I wish you success in this project.

@@lumpcrittergravy It's really a good question...I don't think it will considering how much time and effort has been dedicated to this game. If X9 were to be released, it'd have to be something that would start being worked on right now. Since this has been a work in progress since November 2007, I'd say that Capcom's best bet is to collaborate with JKB as release this game in the way JKB intends to (keep the story however JKB wrote it as) and fit it into the chronological place it was intended for. From there on out, Capcom can decide if they want to release X9 and have JKB lead the team on it, or if they just want to enjoy that HUGE payday from the Megaman X Corrupted sales :)

[@Uacher]

I see that you went for an MMZ style for the health bars, I can see the practicality of that for keeping track of a boss's phase. A question though, does that mean that the health upgrades are going to be the green bar instead of increasing the yellow bar's size? Or is it a whole other upgrade?

For the character it only goes up to 32 for X and 36 for Zero, so only 2 bars.

[@DanielAyy]

X8 was good tho

[@drakeyaeger7939]

@Dream World the only reason the 3D stuff was bad was cuz they tried to half-ass it. (If i ever get to make MY Mega-man X fan/Official? [not likely in this lifetime] reboot, it'll be full 3D Action-Rpg combat with a HEAVY Action bend, with platforming still being in the more complex/rugged exterior/interior environments, the Chips system of X8 expanded to be a full Lvl-system {with the Total Max Lvl in Maverick Hunter X1 being 200, possibly 300+ in MHX2 & maybe 400+ in MHX3}, Metals as Exp & convertible to Alloys {in-lore Cash $/¥}, bosses will get a bit of Dark Souls treatment & their Stages will be like solo/tag-team versions of dungeons like in MMOs {by Tag-Team i mean like it was in X8, NOT online stuff, but with the party being 1-3, not 1-2 [cuz if you only have 1 playable character accessible... you get the idea]}, with 3D open-world regions/instances where said Stages are, Npcs & Side-Missions that give Metals/Alloys/Chip Blueprints {for expanding your max Lvl via R&D to make the actual Chips FROM the Blueprints}, a Modular Chips system like X5 but vastly expanded, a vastly expanded version of X3's Ride Armor system {like this Fan-made game seams to have}, alternative methods of progressing/weakening Stages/Bosses; like hidden shortcuts & special Aux. "Weapons" gained from Side-missions & deafeting certain other bosses {like what happens to the Power Plant in X/MM Maverick Hunter X when you down Penguin/S-Eagle}, Etc.)

The real headline here should be “testing Zero’s beastly new dropkick.” Game changer! Glad to see updates again. After Mega Man 11’s release, though, the question is which game will see the light of day first - MMX: Corrupted, or MMX9?

Yeah, me too. Especially since I've seen what they've done for Mega Man 11...Ok it's not a bad game, but it's exactly the same thing as every other MM games. After all these years, I was expecting them to improve the recipe. That's why I'm so excited about corrupted, not only does it seems to harness perfectly the style and gameplay of MMX but it also improve it.

[@6lbs._onion]

I love that you tweaked the invincibility frame on the boss to make it feels like you're actually hitting them with force, and buff their health up to compensate the damage you can deal to them in a short length of time if you're skilled enough :^D The one main gripe I always have about Megaman games bosses is how the fight can really be unsatisfying given how little you can hit them and how much you have to wait to get a hit...

[@ethanmyers3742]

This looks awesome. I think there is so much possibility and potential these Megaman X games could do. From what it looks like, there's clearly a level up system which I think is a great idea. Maybe what could make this game even better are to make it objective critical in stages with the boss battle either at the end or somewhere in between and some stages are time sensitive to complete. There's just so much possibility. I really like this SNES classic look. But ultimately, I like Zero. Always has been my favorite and continues to be. Can't wait for the final product.
