I've been working on a platformer game engine for a little while, but I'd only made a basic run-and-jump. This was an excuse to develop something more capable. While I'm not immediately planning to demake an entire Mega Man game, with PicoMap, my metatile-based map system, it seems possible. I've been working on pixel art and layouts for some levels, so I'll see where things go.
Changelog:
Controls:
Left/Right---Move
Z------------Shoot
X------------Jump
Enter--------Weapon Select Menu
Thanks,😊
I tried to make it accurate and work out bugs, but it'll still get a bit better in future updates. For instance, I haven't added momentum and friction yet. o_O
Cool prototype, very recognizable as mega man in both the graphics and feel.
I look forward to what you make with it.
Awesome game prototype! It looks very good and it feels a lot like the original Megaman games too. I've very interested in seeing what kind of game you end up making with this engine.
If I had to criticize one thing though, I think it would be good if you added a few frames of hang time where you can jump just after walking of the edge of a platform, as the lack of such a feature had me fall into a spike pit one time when it didn't really feel fair. I hope you're open to including that.
Thanks,
I'm thinking I'll at least make a playable classic Mega Man level or two, and maybe try making a brand new one. As far as original stuff, I guess I'll figure it out as I go.
I agree that the ground collision box feels just slightly off for jumps, like it needs to let your back foot rest on the ground for another pixel or so. I'll experiment and see if I can find a solution that feels the same as the original.
