BIG ANNIVERSARY UPDATE!! #MegaManRS

It's been a very difficult year. The paralysis, which I am still recovering from, and the medical bankruptcy that followed. In spite of that progress was made, maybe not as much as I'd like, but look!

24hours left on our Kickstarter campaign. Kind of losing my mind a bit, but at least I got a cool gameplay clip today with all that smashing and crashing enemies into each other shenanigans ! :) #indiegame #indiegamedev #beatemup #beatemups (link to KS in reply!!)

Last 48 hours of the campaign! I wanted to make a blog post about someone who made this game possible in a huge way. @ppkactechart.bsky.social - you are a legend! We'll make it happen!

If you want to know about a true hero of #indiegamedev - read about Kirill!

Also, playing both ZX and ZXA on a large screen for the first time, you can really appreciate the graphical detail of these games. They're really stunning and have a lot of techniques I don't see used these days. Indies could learn a lot from them.

MarcDWyz🕹️#GameDev @marcdwyz.bsky.social · 6d

ZXA is still the best game Inti has made to date, and it's not even close.

I assume ZXA is hella slept on because ZX was so bad. But really any Mega Man fan should look into it. It's some of the franchise's best.

MarcDWyz🕹️#GameDev @marcdwyz.bsky.social · 6d

ZX Advent was a breath of fresh air. Gun gameplay is BACK and viable. Go getter protag Ashe (F whiny Grey). Being able to literally play as the bosses is interesting. Map isn't confusing garbage.

The flow and pacing is EXCELLENT. Controls are responsive and tight.

MarcDWyz🕹️#GameDev @marcdwyz.bsky.social · 6d

On top of that the characters are kinda whiny, and the side quests are mind numbingly boring and repetitive. 10 (or more?) side quests of deliver a letter to literally the same person. 6 side quests of find the *same item* in the *same area*. GONNA KMS

MarcDWyz🕹️#GameDev @marcdwyz.bsky.social · 6d

Honestly I don't remember ZX being this bad even. The map system is completely fucked. Shit like the in game Map shows an exit TOP LEFT from the current area to the one I want to go. The real door to that area is on the RIGHT side of the level. WTF! Insane.

My wife and I finished replaying the Mega Man ZX series.

My feelings have not changed since I first played them; ZX sucks despite it's high potential, and ZX Advent is one of the best games in the entire franchise.

Played both in the collection w/ music and undub mods.

Cooking today. Proof of concept to Increment and Decrement ANY UEnum;
ie. ValueA -> ValueB -> ValueC -> ValueD -> (wrap to) ValueA

For UEnum Assets AND CPP defined UEnums, whether you own/control them or not.

I wouldn't know, I don't watch or read it lol

IRL Agent Orange is a chemical used in I think the Vietnam war, it was a poisonous weapon that's probably illegal today. It led many natives and even US military personnel to suffer permanent disabilities.

Trump is definitely that poisonous himself.

True, but also Agent Orange is pretty funny you have to admit 🤣

MarcDWyz🕹️#GameDev @marcdwyz.bsky.social · 11d

I definitely feel this.

Also while it would very likely have not been much different than Lament and Curse, I still want to see what IGA's cancelled SotN2 was going to be like...

I have a suspicion that the people who say this also say that current movies are all soulless remakes/recycles and they need to make something new (but still pay to see them anyway).

Finally watched the new Smiling Friends . It's good. Feels more like Season 1 stuff, which I am happy about.

After looking at the images I posted I was like "Shouldn't I add a Toggle Pause node instead of having to do all that?..." Yes, added.
