Fanmade "Mega Man X Engine" for Game Maker now available as open source

​
Mega Man's anniversary was just a month ago, but that doesn't mean the good news for the blue bomber had to stop in December. A big group of fans lead by Dragon Developer (Dark Shadow), have worked on a custom fanmade Mega Man X engine compatible with Game Maker (previously known as Game Maker Studio 2). The engine is still WIP, but it shows a great amount of work done, with a selection of playable characters like Mega Man X, Zero, Axl and the original Mega Man, and a wide variety of classic Mega Man bosses, weapons and stages.

​


From the words of the devs themselves:
Dragon Developer said:
Mega Man X Engine is a framework being developed using GameMaker (formerly GameMaker Studio 2) that contains a lot of features Mega Man X games have already implemented so you don't have to start it from scratch, plus new assets showing what can be done with the engine.

Note: this engine is not complete yet, we recommend using it only if you are practicing or really know what you are doing.

Those interested, can start taking a peek at the source code right now, since the developers have just made the code open source for everyone to start poking at it.

​


What are you waiting for? If you're not checking the Mega Man X engine out, then there's no reason for you to go on! What… What are you fighting for?!

Had the same thought initially, but the post says "Rock Man fan stuff", not "Rock Man stuff in general". So I guess that it's theoretically possible to like the franchise but not care about fan games. Can't speak from personal experience, though, since I've seen some fan stuff that made the original games look lackluster in comparison (MM Unlimited for example).

can we please stop saying this every time somebody makes any kind of fan project especially considering those kinds of projects are the backbone of this community and bringing up the spectre of legal action has a chilling effect on people making cool projects for us to use in the future

Why even bring it up. Capcom has encouraged fangames in the past (they even promoted Mega Man x Street Fighter for one of their anniversaries). There has been Mega Man Maker for quite some time without any repercussions.

Not every company is Nintendo, so please be aware of the differences.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
