The Manic Minds of Mike and May: Panic Attack!

Mega Man Legends is probably the most unique Mega Man series within the main MM continuity, and it has a character so dope, she not only got her own spinoff game, but got into two crossover fighting games! Here's an in-depth look at Tron Bonne's MvC appearances! 👇(Link below) 👇

structure (that you can break to degrees so it's not super linear) if that makes any sense. the only things left to figure out are UI stuff and the visual style for battles (which all depends on how much more I wanna draw)... all in all, I think the idea I have tho... could help.

will solve my world design issues AND allow me to use what I already have. the basis of it is to go entirely back to the roots of my original comic idea. Each location would be a manga volume centered on a certain plot point, location, and boss. but with a more Shonen type of

🧵much shorter thread... today I thought hard about what direction to take my game in based on my thoughts from last night and I figured it out. it's time to combine 3 of my favorite properties into a crazy turn-based rpg. I won't spoil too much but lets just say the new idea

tl;dr... I think the game is mostly gonna focus on story and combat now most likely.

mess the comic book was gonna be in the first place. aight... no one's reading all this, so I'm done. but it's nice to have this all typed out anyways. I'll show more soon.

that sucks. there's no way I'll be done by Mother's Day (my birthday falls on that day ever so often) lol. so yeah, it's time to stop trying to make a game I think would appeal to more people because it has more basic rpg design behind it, and make the goofy FLCL/Scott Pilgrim/Fighting game infused

make too. as of April 7th... it'll be 7 years since I started this. it's been such a struggle thanks to being AuDHD. so I think I know what to do, but I have to COMMIT finally. I can't suddenly change my mind on these big things anymore. my goal of being done by 40 isn't gonna happen anymore... and

battles, and UI (thanks rpg maker MZ... sigh). I would like to have a more exploration based game, but I don't think I know how to do that. at least not well enough. I'd need help honestly. a lot of it. but that's me not playing to my strengths, while admitting I can quite make the game I want to

to have a purpose and make it into the game... I think the better idea might be as someone here suggested, to stick to my strengths and aim for something that mostly focuses on battles. which is something I feel I can do. The main things I want to work on right now are figuring out the world design,

mangas and anime. this all came to be because in the 2000s, I was obsessed with fighting games, FLCL, and Scott Pilgrim. but I wound up wanting this to be a game instead. an rpg at that. but, I SUCK at maps and level design, which I've discussed before. so... while I do want all the maps I've drawn

where I got this idea from in first place. I've only really had good ideas for the story and battle parts of rpgs. not the exploration that pieces those together. and because my game is based on my comic book idea, I figured maybe I should structure more like it's original inspirations of Shonen

because I don't really have enough or better designed areas for much else. but I was also thinking of "opening up" the areas upon finishing them. otherwise I think I'd either need to higher a level/map designer, or just do something like Wander Stars and how it handles locations. that's honestly

explore a section at a time. but also some spots are just cutscenes, some are just straight to battles, while some are shops or other ways to interact with people in that area. doing one thing may unlock another spot or spots on the main map of the dungeon. quests would do this too. this is mainly

🧵 long ass thread incoming about Panic Attack! and it's world design. got a weird idea I'm thinking of for dungeons. maybe something where you go from spot to spot on a map that's just a look of the location. and there's points of interest on the map. they transport you inside to that spot and you

I love X5, but man, so bad of an idea to start the level like this. better game design would've given you a straight line and let you mess with buttons. "oh, I can jump"... hell even better is giving you something safe to jump up to first, THEN a pit lol.

my favorite Mega Man meme is oddly enough the X5 "READY" one where people unexpected just miss the first jump on Volt Kraken's (Squid Adler) stage. X5 needed Mega Man 8's "Jump/Slide" thing I guess to prepare you lol.

yeah, while I've gotten used to most of the changes, the UI stuff is one of the biggest reasons I didn't switch to MZ for years. I feel I've got a handle on everything else tho finally. if I can figure that stuff out, I'll be good tho finally.

I haven't shown off battle in a very long time thinking about it now. but, I gotta completely redo a lot of it visually. while I've gotten a lot working going from rpg maker MV to MZ... a lot of the visual things I had done, I gotta either redo, figure out something else, or scrap entirely.

that's probably what I'll have to do. sucks tho considering what I was able to do in MV. things in MZ feel way more hard coded and it feels way harder to get around it. the plugins I've tried using to do so, come with other issues, so I'm not feeling it with them either.

I'll check these out. I've been super struggling trying to get stuff to look like how I had them in MV. It's been a chore trying to move windows around and everything I've tried using causes something weird to happen. and the main thing I used for MV doesn't work on MZ, even with stuff like FOSSIL.

for any #rpgmaker people using MZ... what are you doing for UI related stuff. I feel that's easily the thing I loathe the most about MZ. I had almost ALL of that worked out in MV and it was a big reason I didn't wanna even touch MZ.

this one is interesting to me. some of my now favorite games are ones I was only able experience via emulation. but based on what I've seen, my almost 70 yr old mom is more computer literate than some Gen z folks. they're so used to phones now. and here I still LOATHE using a phone over my desktop.

I hate that I don't find Mega Man X4 that fun compared to X5 when I KNOW X4 is a better designed game. but I just don't have as much fun with it compared to X5. a lot of that for me at least is I think X4's ost is pretty blah. X5 tho, I listen to a lot of that to this day.

Exploring the basement, it seems you've run into a gigantic issue in the form of this dangerous Void in front of you and Ray. Also, is there a reason Mike and the void got the glitch? Is that related to the potential?

the second one tho? absolutely loved it. I will say it's one of my favorite rpgs in general even. but I remember hearing a lot about the first one thinking it was right up my alley. and it was... but when you see what changes the 2nd one made in comparison tho, it fixed pretty much all my issues.

saw a video on youtube I might watching that sounds like it discussing when you're enjoying a game, but you don't fall in love with it.... tho I wonder if the premise is more so for when you feel like you should've.

for me, that's the 1st Octopath game. I liked it enough... but I didn't love it.

sounds about right. I don't really know any younger gamers these days so I have no idea how it works, but I can picture across the media board that this is how it probably goes. I wound up finding a lot on my own. be it music, TV, games. but I dunno how that goes now.

between the late 80s and early 2000s. 10 final fantasy mainline games. between like 2006 to 2026, 12-16. even back then 12 had a LONG Dev cycle. so how do form attachments? you can go back... I did. I started with ff12 and I've played most of them. but... not everyone's doing that.

Also, as you can see... Ray follows Mike offscreen during map transitions, along with dust kicking up as they run. I was going to redo Ray's run animation like I did Mike's... but I think him doing the Mega Man NES run was more fitting for his character than something with more frames.
