@@J7Jase Thanks Jase! Between the small amount of play of WOTL and your videos I’ve sort of remembered the names. I’ve thought about maybe doing a stream of WOTL, though it would be a long video and I’m not sure how many people would watch. Maybe I’ll do one. Calculators have HORRIBLE stats lol. 😆 And Bards are very weak.

@@mopbrothers nice good memory! Or even when you stream Megaman maker? Idk anything you put out with commentary I like better or maybe because I just like commentary lol. And finally I'm glad someone gets this!!

@@J7Jase NP! 😉 I’m glad to have a friend like you! With Mega Man Maker I’m waiting for 1.9 to release before doing more videos. Not sure when that will be. With Mega Man live commentary would be easy, but with Tactics it could get boring after a few battles. I mean watching me level up some thieves and black mages probably isn’t super exciting to watch. I’m also getting more busy with my personal life lately. But it might be fun to do just once!

@@misk-ivus2990 I’m not doing anymore reviews until 1.9 comes out.

@@mopbrothers Ah, gotcha.

I usually stream in the evenings US-Central time, so look out for these then.

@@Firesawdust Lol thanks! 🙏 This level is actually the 2nd part of a story level I uploaded a long time ago, but deleted due to some questionable design. I still have the footage of the first part, but unfortunately the aspect ratio isn’t compatible with this video so I chose not to include it. This is pretty sad, because it’s a really cool looking first part. Maybe someday if I get motivated enough. It’s always fun giving characters exaggerated dialog! I’ve done this with Rock and Roll in a few older videos and thought I’d be amusing to do it again!

I’ve only watched a few clips Network Animated. It looked pretty cartoony and whimsical.

@@mopbrothers I feel you on questionable designs. With my original level pack MM Plus (MM Plus Remix Classic Mode), I did not know half of what I was doing lol. I was taking my levels, that I put together on paper, and turning them into Megaman Maker, which did not turn out too well. However, if you can still go back to it, and still feel a breathe of fresh air, I would say include. We viewers don't know the background behind your levels, so as long as you are passionate about it, and tell us all about it, then we will naturally be intrigued! That's why I kept my MM Plus level pack, despite the janky level design. Heck, I would say MM Plus ranks better than its remix counterpart in some areas, especially difficulty wise. I think it is fun too! That's something that I plan on doing whenever I do a walkthrough of my entire X Mod level pack and even Roll's too.

@@mopbrothers I'm not sure if it is still available on TH-cam, but I would recommend watching a few episodes to see how you like it. Network Warrior Axess has a much darker tone than its Season 1 predecessor. Apparently, Japan got 5 seasons of it, and season 3 - 5 were even crazier!

Good luck with it!

@@治之城谷 ああ :)

lol the suspense is overwhelming. 😅 I wonder how it will show up on TH-cam.

@@mopbrothers Man, if they Shadow drop this release I would be so mad! XD

@@Firesawdust I’m guessing we’re gonna wake up one morning and just see a 1.9 video posted and be like, “It’s out already!?” They’re messing with our minds lol

@@mopbrothers They always do that! I’ll always hate how they space out the previews or teasers they do. They hold TOO much secret until the last minute lol

@@oscarm1258 Thanks Oscarm, I’ll look at it if I get time!

You’re welcome 😊 Great level and nice text editing! I wasn’t expecting that!

Hey Lancer, if you want to collaborate on a live stream let me know! I'm thinking of streaming levels. If you're interested my email is Jackhalls86@gmail.com

that sounds interesting, I’ll shoot an email sometime this week and we can work out details

@@Firesawdust Thanks! 🙏. I agree it was well detailed. I was surprised about the text-edits! I wasn’t expecting them. I like the outdoor areas the most. The indoor stuff is good, but I feel like the level had too much indoor stuff and I’m personally not a big fan of the yellow and red color scheme used. Nevertheless, I can see he put a lot of work into the level and it shows.

Thanks! 🙏 The idea was to have a city over grown with poisonous plants and thorn vines. Having Plant Man as a boss made sense. This level was much more linear than the Water Dam level, but it didn’t have much slow down. I thought it’d be fun to mix things up with dialog too! Maybe I’ll do that with future my MMM levels.

@@mopbrothers Yeah the theme of the level puts me in mind of a Megaman ZXA level. I forgot the name of the plant/vine boss. But yeah, typically large levels will run slower on computers with a lower GPU. I try not to make my levels super huge like you see in 3D layout test. Worst case scenario, I usually shorten the level as a compromise. At least 1.8 fixed the lag issue for the most part

been liking the modded levels reviews as well, x mod is one of the best mods

Interesting how you chose Stone Man and not Shade Man. Shade Man tends to get overused, so I'm glad Stone Man was used. I hope 1.9 includes the Pumpkin Mini Boss in Shade Man's level! Lol, I had fun doing the scorecard art! Great catch pointing out Sigma's head! It's sort of a spooky summer night as I type this. I'm facing a window of my backyard and it's pitch black outside! Btw, check out my Hansel and Gretel MMM level. The video link should be in the recommended to watch at the ending of this video review! 6:11

@@mopbrothers Oh yeah true, Shade Man is pretty much your best man when it comes to Halloween levels/creepy levels. Stone Man is a good boss choice for Mummy fights since he can emulate how they disappear in wraps and jump over the place. Another good Halloween boss choice would be Spring Man and Pharaoh Man. Yeah I hope so too. I always loved Shade Man’s stage in MM7. The enemies in his stage just gives off those silly cartoon Halloween vibes. Turbo Man is my second favorite, with Slash Man being third. I only like Slash Man for the music, reference to Mario 2’s log jump, and saving Beat. Lol, my whole neighborhood gets pitch black at night. I live out in the middle of nowhere. I’ll check it out tomorrow (later today). Sounds like it’ll be a fun spooky level!

@@Firesawdust Shade Man, Skull Man, and Knight Man all go well with Halloween levels or castle levels. In my opinion Shade Man is the most useful MMM boss.

⁠@@mopbrothersYep agreed!

It's actually dark and spooky out where I live right now!

Thanks! Yeah, personally I'm not into hardcore platforming, but the level was at least fair. I prefer levels where I have room for mistakes.

Thankfully the next 5 mevericks are not so hazard heavy as this one lol. I think this one and Lightning Wolfax are the hazard heaviest mavericks out of X’s story. I think there is one final stage that is hazard heavy, but it really depends on what the focus on that stage will be. I’m still fleshing out Zero’s 9 mavericks.

@@Firesawdust Good level! I can see you spent a lot of time on this level. I’m starting to want to play MMMX over vanilla MMM because there’s so much more potential. X’s mobility is critical for making open level design. I’m really glad there’s a map system in X maker. Classic MMM desperately could use a map feature! I don’t know why the devs don’t add more. Plus X maker has a lot more music to choose from. I’ll keep playing X maker even after 1.9 comes out.

@@mopbrothers Yep! Honestly that’s one of the reasons why I favor X2’s level design. It’s how the levels are designed to accommodate for X’s mobility, unlike some later X titles 😒. Maps are going to come in very handy especially if you decide to play the level pack from start to finish and want to find secrets. Oh yeah, maps are definitely going to help in 1.9, especially with troll levels (slowly cries over the idea of fake floors possibly making a return). Oh yeah! If you actually listen to the boss music, it is actually MM ZX Boss theme Rockin on but without the DS midi samples, so you get to hear the music raw and it sounds so much better! Btw, nsf replacements work differently in the Mod. replacing 8bit - 16bit songs works the same as in the vanilla game, but for bigger tracks, you have to replace the .Ogg files which for some reason replaces their correspondent .nsf file.

@@Firesawdust I’m surprised how unpopular MMMX maker is. It’s got way more potential than classic MMM as far as level design goes. The only issue is the lag and slowdown of bigger levels. I love the 8 bit look of X levels. And mixing it with the classic games only makes it sweeter. When my energy returns I plan on making lots of X levels. The devs really need to add WAY more music to MMM. I mean look how much is in MMMX. I also really hope 1.9 finishes out all the weapons from 7,8,9,10, and 11. There’s only a weapons dozen missing anyway so it can’t be that hard. I wonder if our big open levels have influenced the MMM team since 1.8 was released? I’ve made a ton of reviews since then so I’m curious if the devs took note of the open level style.

​@@mopbrothers Same here! You can see in some levels that some people prefer to keep their levels more classic-ified. I find the 8-bit graphics to remind me of Megaman Xtreme 2. That would be cool! I could imagine how weapon's factory would look in the X mod. Yeah, honestly they should. I can't really blame them if they don't add bigger tracks, but they should definitely add more music from fangames or do demake of tracks from other games. Shoot I mean, if nsf replacements exist, they are bound to do something with that right? lol Hmm, it doesn't hurt to ask. I know JDE is a fan of them, but I'm not sure about Luigi. Meka should be a fan too since they loved the X mod. I mean, since Neocutman and Marino covered them, I feel like the devs would be bound to notice

@@Firesawdust There is something very charming about 8 bit classic Megaman and 8 bit X as well. Like most fans, I feel like these games were made for 8 bit. Honestly though I’m glad there’s a wide variety of different level designs. It’s satisfies the craving of everyone. MM1 (1987) levels have their own simple and beautiful atmosphere. MM3 does as well. I think it’s good that little options like sliding can be toggled off and on. Then there are those of us that like big open levels. More options are always a good thing. So the old fans can satisfy themselves with simple stuff. Honestly I’m on the fence between wanting MM1 content completed and then newer stuff added. I really don’t care about MM11 or Gameboy stuff and I really hope the devs don’t start making Wily Wars shit or that Wonderswan game. We don’t need any of those. We need MM1 content finished or we need new options for us big open level guys. I’ve never talked to JDE or Luigi, but I’m sure they’ve seen my reviews or heard about them. They definitely know who Mega Marino is, so they probably know me as well. Guys like Jethawk and Oscarm are well known creators so they probably have an eye for them. I’m not friends with anyone on the discord and there’s some people there that don’t like me. I prefer doing my communication on TH-cam. Lol I’m rambling on, but it feels good to voice myself.

@@antxv003 I’ll take a look at it, thanks.

@@Fishonastickart How many levels is it?

Hey Oscarm. This message is old, but if you want to collaborate on a live steam I think it'd be fun. Are you Interested? I'm learning OBS right now. My e-mail address is Jackhalls86@gmail.com.

@@mopbrothers Ok! when you begin livestream?

@@loren6102 That’s a lot of levels. I don’t think I’ll be able to review all of them, but I’ll take a look at them.

@@mopbrothers all of them are 4/6 Minutes at most

I like the level’s name and snowy/ice graphics. Honestly I’m not that excited for Decorations, because real MMM creators use their imaginations and hard work to make levels look good by getting creative with tile sets. Not by using cheap lazy shortcuts lol! 😆 1.8 forced level creators to be organic and use their imagination to craft the best possible looking level.

@@mopbrothers I see what you mean. Leaving sone stuff to player’s imagination can be for the best. I’m still debating on whether I want to use both text-editing and decorations or just stick to decorations, mostly for foreground/background ones. Like for instance for Roll’s level pack (really 2 since I’m also demaking Roll Next) there is a sky fortress stage, I could either use the text-editing to make background pillars or use the closest pillar decoration to what I want. Nonetheless, it’ll still be worth the fun. I just really hope they add more game-changing elements like burst chaser, it would make levels so much more engaging, forcing the player to think of strategies to outmaneuver obstacles meant to slow you down in speedruns, and I bet Marino would love it lol

I’ll look into them. 😊

Thanks 😄

I only played through 502044 and 502045, but the lag got so bad on my computer I had to stop after playing them. Not sure if the levels were too big or MMMX engine was having problems.

⁠@@mopbrothers Honestly The Longer You are In a level the worse the lag gets so I just recommend to go faster to reduce lag. And stages later on like the apparition stages have less Rooms in them. And also They Worked Perfectly Fine for other people the only lag spikes I saw was in The Tornado Vultrix Giant Room key section, Freeze starfishes Boss fight, and maybe Magbursts Footholder Sections if you’re computer is garbage. Honestly I just recommend Fighting Starfish with her weakness.( and yes I canonically made starfish a woman). Her weakness is Lunar Sting If you want. And For Magburst I didn’t account for this but you can actually Just Cheese that Section with Item 2…… So Maybe my idiotic Ways Might of saved your pc. And as For Vultrix I Honestly don’t know what To do. I just recommend Just getting The 3 Right most keys as fast as possible and getting out of there.

@@loren6102 I don't think it's my computer. I've played other giant levels and it never lagged so much. I do love this stuff! So much Megaman everywhere. MMMX maker oozes content and throws you into the vast world of open level design and music. I'm getting burned out from it all, and 1.9 is on its way no less! I gotta conserve my energy for 1.9.

@@mopbrothersit’s probably the engine. For some reason I didn’t have this issue in the third level I created but in the first two I did. I’m not sure if the lag is caused by the amount of objects that are in the level or if it’s the size that’s the main issue. I’m guessing if a level is forcing the engine to render a lot and the level is big then it’ll cause lag or ultimately lag. I got to work on reducing the size of my levels in this engine, which can be challenging depending on the type of level you are creating.

@@farin1111 You’re welcome dude :)

I’ll look at them if I get time.
