So, I see the rest of Rokko Chan's maps still haven't been finished and uploaded to the atlas' PC map branch yet. Their progresses are presently at a standstill.
I see RT 55J's done good work, but there's still more yet to be finished. IF RT 55J's around, well, I'm eager to see this done soon.
I enjoy seeing the nice somewhat indie equivalent of Mega Man's classic roots, that is, if it continued on the 8-bit path, despite many of its sound effects being played in less crisper qualities compared to lots heard crisp and clear from past games.
The good thing is thanks to fans of Rokko Chan not wanting to see the game lost to time, due do it being made in Flash, that game's been preserved for offline playability, so nobody has to worry about losing a thing, not even map progression.
All the people worked on that game did really good staying true to the 8-bit aesthetic Mega Man's past games had... perhaps a bit too closely in my perspective, due to how the bigger sprites for characters are, but doing it gets the job done. Asagen's responsibility for the game's sound and music really rocked it out there, too.
If Rokko Chan gets the hi-bit redux treatment, the term meaning the game to adhere to the pixel art and sound aesthetics of our past consoles, but not adhering too close to the past consoles' tech limits, well, I'd be up for that. Maybe see the game redone with widescreen support, purchasable support items, a bestiary, a few allies for Rokko, better sprite animation fluidity, more clearer graphics and actual parallax scrolling instead of static backgrounds adhered to the foregrounds' tilesets, crisp, clear sounds, cosmetics, and so on. And and actual ending seeing Dr. Mad's fortress crumble into scrap heaps and peace restored to the world after his defeat.
I kinda heard a sequel's supposed to be in development, but that's been at a standstill for who knows how long. Hope it gets back on track.
