I guess Geminiman decided to try another Mega Man X3 map.  He has ripped the second Dr. Doppler stage.  Two to go for X3!

Good Job Terra!  Please keep it up!  There is a definite lack of maps like these.

And finished it in one sitting by going through Star World.

Cheater!  



Try for all 96 exits.  It gets really fun when you are trying get all of the exits in the Forest of Illusion.  It can be a little hard to remember which exits you have found.  (Some of the paths overlap.)

Any progress?  Activity seems to have slacked off a little.

There are only a few possibilities:  Game Gear, Arcade or Neo Geo.  Which one will it be?

The delay may be due to the length of the games.  Most of the games that Jon mentioned either have a lot of maps or very large maps.



I would imagine that DarkWolf could whip up some kind of automated something-or-other that would just crank those maps out for you.  You may want to talk to him.

Geminiman has ripped Sting Chameleon's level. That leaves Mega Man X with 5 maps to go.



I did a little re-formatting in order to make the list a little easier to read.

Yeah, I knew that it was from a Mega Man mid-boss, but I couldn't remember which one.

Maybe if you started the extension from the top of the stairs.  I'm no spriter, so I may be talking nonsense.

Hey, that looks good.  Maybe you could make it more like an hourglass if you made an inverted pyramid top that extends from the top of the existing pyramid and extends off of the screen.

Geminiman has ripped another Mega Man X map!  Hopefully he will be able to finish mapping that game soon.



By the way, how are Zeric's Mega Man 8 maps coming along?  If he finishes MM8, and if someone rips the two maps from Mega Man and Bass, then all of the mainstream Classic Mega Man games will be fully mapped.  (Aside from the Gameboy games - which aren't exactly mainstream.)

Since marioman just wants to contribute ideas, that might be something for him to think about, when the dungeonmaker isn't specific about what bosses he wants.



Personally, I think that Zelda 2 is the way to go.  Here are possible boss locations:



Horse - Beach Cave

Knight - Clock Tower

Minotaur - Excavation Site

Snake - Hourglass Palace

Ghost - * Crypt

Mounted Knight - Temple of Light

Thunder Bird?? -  Ice Cavern



(Since the Thunder Bird is the first phase of the final boss fights, I am not 100% sure that we should use it.)



Gohma is already in Seasons.  I don't know if it would be a good idea to use him again.



That is about all I can offer.  If this format is used, that leaves room for about two or three totally new bosses.

Yeah, her site is awesome.  I think that I have read every page of the Game Info section at least 5 times, and I am always using the site for reference.  It is neat that you guys were involved with it.

So, is Dark Matter going to remain the boss of the Clock Tower?  I would like to provide a reminder that Kirby's Rainbow Resort is one of your affiliates, and ANYONE coming here from that site will immediately recognize that boss.



I don't want to keep bringing this up, but I think that, if you are going to modify sprites anyway, you should use Zelda 2 bosses.  (You could just the same method that you used on Dark Matter to make the sprite top-down view.)  That way if someone does recognize the boss, there will be an excuse available.

Update 2/18/07:



Geminiman has ripped two new Mega Man X maps.  (Boomer Kuwanger and Spark Mandrill.)  Hopefully this is a sign that he will be ripping maps more often.  Stay tuned.
