It's my first game but updated. Don't have time to create another stage. Hobby like this is my least priority. Also, I thought of updating this game for Y8, not sure when to post it there.
I'm not a proffesional programmer nor do I aim to become a professional. I just want to pull out a game. I only searched tutorials to create a game and did a lot of experiments and trial and error on my own. I don't intent to create a full game. I'm only good with short games.
Main updates are the controls, the Easy mode and the Overdrive mechanic.
Main complaint I got is the controls. I bind it on arrow keys. Although it's still the traditional JKL keys just placed on arrow keys. Also another main complaint is the impossible to evade boulder push attack of Scaravich... which is very odd... I didn't change anything on Ground Scaravich here though. That's not impossible to dodge. I intent Scaravich to be hard, the standard hard difficulty of Megaman games though.
If you're having difficulty with the controls and you have a gamepad for PC. I suggest you use an Xpadder because this is the best thing I can do.
Easy Mode.
You take 50% less damage compared to normal mode. Less enemies and Ground Scaravich won't have an Overdrive attack. Difficulty of the boss would be like the X6 version.
Overdrive Mechanic
This is what I have in mind before that I thought I can't do yet. It's basically Giga Attack of X but accessible way more often compared to X. Unlike X's Giga Attack you gain access to this when you hit an enemy instead of damage. It's very necessary to use the Overdrive Attack to defeat the boss. This Overdrive Mechanic changes the 1st version gameplay that just plays like Classic Megaman. Thought I need to do something to would make the gameplay at least different to all Megaman games. It may seem unfair to Scaravich but he has an Overdrive too but only on normal mode. XD
Just a tip, Over-1's Force Field is good for charging up the Overdrive Bar. Use it more often. Hope you enjoy the Overdrive Mechanic.
Here are the other small updates. That I guess I need to say?....
- I increased the size of the screen a little horizontally.
- I increased Over-1's speed a little.
- I shortened the range of Over-1's buster and made it faster than before. I need to study duplicate movie clip stuff to make bullets fire more than one.
- I increased the range of Over-1's Force Field.
- When you get hit on the air, Over-1 would stop on the air instead of falling down, just like X4-X6. This would make the falling rocks not a threat anymore.
- I added another type of Bee enemy to increase the difficulty a bit.
- I drastically increased Ground Scaravich's life for the Overdrive Mechanic. I also increased Over-1's life too to be fair. It just looks like you take less damage.
- Also, the mettaurs don't have big updates. They're not meant to be in this update in the first place but It's better they appear here.
- Over-1 can now rest his arms. Unlike before it's glued. XD
I did some suggestions from youtube as well and here on DA
- Make the buster hit effect smaller because it blocks potential enemies.
- Make the enemies flash when hit. The boss doesn't flash though but I could care less.
- Buster shot placement.
There are stuffs I want to update too like jump pressure but I'm fine as this is. I might update this with Hard Mode.
