Start: "I'm certain this battle will be the one to change the future."
Taunt: " If I scrap you, will I disappear from the timeline?"
Victory: "Without you, I couldn't exist. I'll keep you around for a little longer."
Defeat: "This shouldn't have happened! My visit must have screwed up time!"

Latest news from the Adrian Express Train! Choo-choo!

"After reading the comments and considering everyone's opinions, I think I will keep him as-is and just make sure his field has a high electric type multiplier. Everyone is right about the distinct lack of missile core robots, so why not? I might have been overthinking the whole situation a bit too much. :P

Oh, and I just finished Shadow Man's stage:
"

-Adrian

Question? Is that a series? I would love to read a "Mega Solid" series. I mean, who wouldn't? No wonder Snake doesn't return in Smash...... Mega Man already is Snake!

Confusion at it's finest. Oh boy. This update just might have the most thought of all of them. X(

"Oh, I just saw the thread and read all the posts... Now I'm thinking Missile Core wouldn't be so bad. Oh my god I'm back where I started.

Well, I'll make a decision by the time the update is out, so stay tuned I guess. Lol. Either way I'm thankful for you relaying my info and getting people's opinions on the matter. :)

And just so you know, here are the names of all the fields coming in the update:

Reflection Chamber (Gemini Man / Crystal) *
Spinning Greenhouse (Top Man / Swift) *
Construction Site (Needle Man / Cutter) *
Rocky Plateau (Hard Man / Impact) *
Serpent Column (Snake Man / Nature) *
Power Plant (Spark Man / Electric)
Septic System (Shadow Man / Shadow)
Magnetic Generator (Magnet Man / ?)

I want to give you guys more information, but at the same time I don't wanna waste a moment of programming/photoshopping time, so I'm gonna go. Thanks again for everything! ^_^"

@Elecspark
You know me so well.

"(Talking about Magnet Core-type) I've been describing my predicament to various people over the last few days but none of them have any idea what I'm talking about or just don't get it. It is a very specific, very complex and honestly quite silly problem, but it was driving me crazy not having anyone to get an opinion from because I love this game and this project so much and I want it to be the absolute best it can possibly be. *deep breath* So yeah, thank you - I think I can move forward now without so much dread and just do it. Some ability combos might be kind of weird, but we already have that in spades (Guts Man with Oil Slider anyone?) so it shouldn't be so bad. :)

Anyway, here's the next preview - Snake Man's stage - the "Serpent Column" is done!
You have no idea how tedious it was animating those coils... >_> (totally worth it though!)



Thanks again, we're almost there!"

I think I just found my favorite field.....

I don't know. You don't need to know anything! *Looks suspiciously across room* Who said Shadow Man even has a field?! *whispers* Elecspark, you can't foil my plans this time!

Nope. Just kidding. I actually do not have any more fields to show for now, nor do I have any info since last time. Anyway, can't wait. Everything that I have seen is making me more excited by the minute and I don't know if the Heart Attack in my chest can wait until then!

"Thanks for your posts and keeping everyone updated while I'm working. :)

About Magnet Man, whatever core I choose will affect many things going forward. One huge thing is that it determines which abilities Magnet Man can equip - does he really seem like a robot who's focus is missile-type weapons? If I make him earth core does it make sense for him to be able to equip rock and ground moves? The easier answer is electric, because it makes the most sense, but we just can't do that so long as Spark Man exists in the same game.

And then you have the fields. As much as I'm okay with having fields that don't match their robot master (as you mentioned with Bright and Ring) those two made sense, had their special weapon's second type match the stage, and - most importantly - did not duplicate field types found in the same game/cycle. This is important for balance, as each field I add into this game will dramatically alter the overall star force levels for represented types. Adding two of the same electric field types will overpower electric robots moving forward in the multiplayer - is that something we're okay with?

These are the things that cause the most mental anguish in my life now. Decisions about the elemental typings of a fan-made Mega Man RPG. I'm not sure how I feel about that. >_>"

Oh, by the way. Remeber when I said Needle Man was probably next? Someone pick up the phone. CAUSE I CALLED IT!
Anyway, here's the status of the fields. (No way official. Simply. Gathering what we know)

Needle Man: Done
Magnet Man: Next
Snake Man: Done
Gemini Man: Done
Top Man: Done
Hard Man: Done
Shadow Man: Done
Spark Man: Done

That's my guess, at the most part.

Magma Man is next. The original was probably my worst work yet.

Start: " This volcano's going to explode!"
Taunt: "Getting hot? Maybe more flames might help! Hahaha!"
Victory: "If you can't handle the heat, stay out of the level!"
Defeat: "And here, I shall lay dormant....."

Overhaul to Wave Man. Doesn't feel right.

Start: "Hey! Who said you can come here?! Get away!"
Taunt:" On your foot... Sludge? That is the last straw!"
Victory: "Now to continue the peace....."
Defeat: " Darn! I got too close!"

I got another Email after that one.......

"I've been thinking about it for days and I can't complete the update until I decide so I'm gonna make Magnet Man an earth core. MM3 has got the most messed up weakness cycle and robots of all the games, so it's been really hard to make things fit with the typing system of the RPG. Hopefully you guys understand. :(

So the plan is to have him change to Earth core with an Earth/missile weapon (Magnet Missile) and then his field will be earth as well but boost missile and electric attacks as well. And then in the future I'll give him an earth/electric attack to make it fair - maybe magnet pull or something?

We'll have to see..."
-Adrian

Wha? Wha you want? More news? Jeez, it's not like Adrian could just spew out infor.... Oh. New Email. You win this time.

"Hi again. I'm like 99% done with Snake Man's stage, just have to add some animation. In the mean time....





Also, I'm having a really hard time with Magnet Man. His stage is the Magnetic Generator but... Magnet Man is currently a Missile Core so that mean's his stage would be too, but that obviously doesn't make sense. You'd think I could just change Magnet Man to an Electric Core and everything would be easy, but Spark Man is already an Electric Core we we can't have two of the same cores in one game/set. This is why I made Magnet Man a Missile Core in the first place - to avoid overlap and match his Magnet Missile weapon - but now that I'm making his stage it just doesn't make sense to continue. :S The only other option I can think of is to make Magnet Man an Earth Core because magnets are minerals I guess and they're related to the earth...or...something? There aren't any other Earth Core robots in MM3 so it would work and I could maintain the weakness cycle, but is Earth too much of a stretch? What do you think? I'm running out of time to make a choice. >_"

-Adrian

Adrian has already stated that it's most likely to come at the end of May(very soon!). Sorry it can't be your Birthday present, so early Birthday present?

New email from Adrian. I hope this answers your question coolbie16

"Hi! I've finished 4 of the 8 but have also been doing a lot of other stuff in between. If I think I'm not gonna make it, I promise I'll let you know."

Most likely end of May. Yes, just a little more.

@Reisrat
Like a Toad Man? Anyway, anybody want to form a Trio? Trust me, it's going to be a "Trill"! That's a racial "Slur"? How?! How about I..... Brrrr. I felt a Chill Man. My blood's like Ice Man. I'm starting to see the "Frost Man" on my breath. Someone get me my "Top Man" hat. I need to leave. No...I see the Light! I hope that I can do the "Cossack" in the great beyond....

What? Why is it weird to Cossack in the afterlife?

Yes, but they're probably going to get a "Classic" makeover. Techinically, that would still make them "fan-designs".

I'm happy hearing about players who joined through the wiki page. I worked out most of the page with Adrian improving it. I actually had to protest to keep the page on since there were "too many fan-games". Funny how long ago that was.

@Fast Man
1. There's a chance......
2. They're part of a galactic council that involves the two Duos.
3. Adrian's fan-bots.
