Holy crap, your editing style, and presentation are REALLY good. Not to mention your art is amazing! I really look forward to seeing this game be developed further, and future videos!
Absolutely brilliant video mate. The quality of the video production is so engaging, you deliver all the tech "stuff"in an utterly understandable way. Ontop of that it's a fantastic project! Fingers crossed it gets finished!
@@randomcardboardbox2396Hopefully not! It's ambitious, but an impressive start all the same. Not to mention some of the highest video production values I've seen in the X16 community. I like how you're presenting it in a way that would help a modern game developer see what needs to be done to cope with the limitations.
This was such a fun watch, the fact that you are writing most logic in c will make this somewhat portable to other platforms in case you wished to in the future. You gained a new subscriber, can't wait for part 2!!
you're doing real good work man, the video is very informative on the process of making games for the x16! as both a mega man fan and an avid fan of its potential i wanna see where this goes!
Love this video! also the line "I want the game to look like beautiful like stunning like Metal Slug & Marvel vs Capcom had a baby" was just comedy gold ;) brilliant!
Why don't you try to scroll the screen up and down when jump and use the “best screen fit” as resolution ? I parallax is an option to move scenario, of course… Anyway, great job !!
I'm actually developing a real NES game so I feel you my friend ! Now, I ADMIRE your sens of detail and the high quality that you provide on the video as well as the game in itself . I wish you all the best. PS : I never knew about the Commander X16 so I'm going to dig on this machine now... seems to be really awesome... Thanks for the discovery. You just earned an "instasub" mate ! ^^
@@randomcardboardbox2396 At the time, the project remains "secret"... I'll be pissed off if someone would steal an idea from my project. I think the 1st time that I will show something online will be near completion... What I can say is this : The game is called " Seeds Of Mira ZERO". The very few people who saw some screenshots were doubting it was running on a NES because the visuals are extremely polished... The game does not look like a "usual type of visuals" we see on the system... 😁
Great video, some really nice insights into game dev. Can you make this game for the spectrum next too :). Thats another retro "new" games computer with a big community that would love this game and your efforts.
I know nothing of coding. The entirety of my experience was mucking about with turbo pascal for like a week in the early 90s. So admittedly I was mostly lost for the entire video. Like, I think i get it on like a conceptual level, but it;s still well over my head. Still, a very entertaining video. The project looks super cool, you're very funny, and yeah, you've got a good voice for narration :p
yeah, i honestly think that animation style was abandoned too quickly by capcom because they moved over to megaman x and kinda put the og series on hiatus, so i wanted to bring back that vibe.
Check the second vid, im just using normal point-box collision detection. I generally dont really like pixel perfect collision, i just think normal collision makes it easier to play the game. Ps: the second viss audio is kinda bad, just a warning.
As soon as I heard your voice I knew you were a Trini. Surprised to see a Trini talk about the X16. This is awesome! The outlines around the sprites reminds me of the Castlevania games for GBA. Was it done to help the sprites stand out against the background and whatnot?
Was it that easy to find me out. yeah youre right. and yeah the outlines were for helping them stand out. Im doing game dev on a laptop so its a bit small on my screen.
This one almost look like my dream come true as a megaman fan who started playing in MM7! I'm more than happy enough to just watch these devlogs. thx for bringing this to the existence 🫡
You're the second person to guess that, yeah you're right. Not that I was trying to hide it, but tbh i didn't think i had much of an accent. How'd you know btw?
IDK, kinda just has 'doubles with slight' vibes. But also because I hear the accent every day, lmao. It's very distinctive. I never knew there were people here with this kind of knowledge and niche interests/skill. Glad you're here to represent. Keep doing what you're doing. It's awesome. :)
Dude, I don't know about programming skills, but the pixels art and animation are top notch! Excellent work! P.S. So what is the actual resolution that you use?
@@randomcardboardbox2396 if my calculations are right, you can't obtain real 512 pixels, you can get 510 or 515 (with factor 102 or 103). So that mean you actually uses 640x480 with black stripes around to get visual 512px? Is that correct?
@@randomcardboardbox2396 I see, so it is just double. It is sad that you cant use a real 512px, because that way you might use 32 x 30 tile map (less then 2k), now you need to use 64x30 (around 4k). I guess 2 layers for background?
It would be, but it would require a more hand crafted solution. And it wouldnt help much unfortunately because the animation doesnt hv a lot of repeating elements.
Most likely yeah, all the games on the nes use basically the same code. Youd just have to make new art and music basically. Although i dont know if ill do that.
Great work!
Thanks!
Hi dave
Holy crap, your editing style, and presentation are REALLY good. Not to mention your art is amazing! I really look forward to seeing this game be developed further, and future videos!
Your art looks AMAZING! I wish there was a full remake of Megaman with this style. I'd buy the whole series quite frankly lol
Thx, i would love to see that too tbh
Not sure which is more impressive , the game development or the video presentation ! Top quality man !
thx, but whats more impressive than both of those is the amount of ppl who've decided to watch the vid. Im honestly really surprised about that.
Absolutely brilliant video mate. The quality of the video production is so engaging, you deliver all the tech "stuff"in an utterly understandable way. Ontop of that it's a fantastic project! Fingers crossed it gets finished!
This looks great so far! I always liked the megaman games where his pixel art had more detail and I'm liking what you're doing! Dropped a like!
Looking forward to seeing it progress!
yeah i just hope it doesnt end up like almost every other fangame project.

From one engineer to another - well done.
Thx a bunch. What kind of engineering do you do?
Thank you! I look forward to following along with your game's process.
woah you seem to be a pretty amazing sprite artist
Thx 😄
Great work! I really like the presentation format of the video.
Love this video! also the line "I want the game to look like beautiful like stunning like Metal Slug & Marvel vs Capcom had a baby" was just comedy gold ;) brilliant!
This is a fantastic video, really helpful and informative. Excellent video editing and graphics here too, nice work!
Thanks for the detailed video. I'm sure it'll help people in the future wanting to develop for the X16!
thx. yeah i was hoping i could kinda inspire the x16 community with this project.
The commander X16 is the literal definition of retro. Mimicking the style of the past but doing its own thing too.
Absolutely amazing video, super well explained ❤
You're absolutely nuts to be doing this! Great project, great art. Love the presentation of video too.
Why don't you try to scroll the screen up and down when jump and use the “best screen fit” as resolution ? I parallax is an option to move scenario, of course…
Anyway, great job !!
Really interested in how this project will evolve so subscribed,
incredible work!!
thx for subbing, you should see how much it evolves by next video *foreshadowing*.
Enjoyed the story and technical presentation, well done!
Very nice. Hoping for several more logs.
“Like Marvel Vs Capcom and Metal Slug had a baby”
You achieved this, gorgeous artstyle ✌🏾
Thx, i think it looks pretty good too.
Very interesting and well presented. Subbed and looking forward to your future videos.
Art looks excellent, the video editing was fantastic, and the explanations were riveting. So freaking cool.
Yeah i worked hard to develop ky art style. And thx, i wasnt sure if i was explaining things well.

Remaking Mega Man for the Commander X16 | Devlog #1
Great video, some really nice insights into game dev. Can you make this game for the spectrum next too :). Thats another retro "new" games computer with a big community that would love this game and your efforts.
I'll think about it. ill hv to do some research on how to develop for it but im cool making stuff for any retro system.
I could listen to this guy read the phone book
amazing work

well im glad to hear i at least explained the concepts ok. Also thx, cause im not rly confident in speaking usually.
Great stuff. cant wait for more updates :)
Dude, those animations look amazing.
Thx
Can't wait to play it!
thx, tbh your tutorial series was like my main learning resource.
@@randomcardboardbox2396 that's great to hear!
Sprite work, animation, and programming? I hope you have big success in the gaming industry because you deserve it
Thx! :)
Very cool and very informative. Thank you for sharing your work.
That Mega Man animation gives so much credit to MM7 and MM8, that it's awesome
Yeah, I rly think those games have some of the best animation in the series, so I took heavy inspiration.
@@randomcardboardbox2396 I'm glad to see the based opinion right there
I'm happy you made Mega Man sprite like the one from the SNES, mostly MM7.
Edit: OOOH! Unused Mega Man 8 animation.
yeah, i honestly think that animation style was abandoned too quickly by capcom because they moved over to megaman x and kinda put the og series on hiatus, so i wanted to bring back that vibe.
Amazing work, perhaps your next step could be looking into pixel perfect collision. Gamehut made a great video on how he achieved it on the Amiga.
Check the second vid, im just using normal point-box collision detection. I generally dont really like pixel perfect collision, i just think normal collision makes it easier to play the game.
Ps: the second viss audio is kinda bad, just a warning.
Awesome editing, awesome work, awesome pixel art! one thing, reduce the gravity a little bit! that'd be a huge problem for level design!
Dont worry, i made some basic physics changes in the second vid.
@@randomcardboardbox2396 awesum
well this is cool, a commander 16 remake of Mega Man? noice
This linux interface reference gets my attention, i love it

Impressive stuff. I wish for a physical X16 console someday to play this on
It may be 8 bits, but it preforms like 16. Great job!!
thx, when it comes to graphics for old platforms art styles plays a lot bigger of a role than bits sometimes.

0:27 I actually liked Powered Up it has a lot of new contents
thats ok, its ok to hv objectively wrong opinions. ...
fr though, its not the content per say I just really dont like how it looks.
This is great. Awesome work.

Gdeat work! You are very talented.
Whoa, commander x16 can make graphics like your 640x480 examples?
I just checked the FPGA and it has DSP cores with MAC. Do we see any of this? Is it used to simulate the analog part of SID?
What an excellent video. :)
thx : >
it's Mega time to do a Mega project
I'll like, comment and subscribe right here
nice video my dude, i wish i had a fraction of your skill.
Dude, I don't know about programming skills, but the pixels art and animation are top notch!

P.S. So what is the actual resolution that you use?
Thx a bunch, its using 512x480

SO GOOD!
thx
Neat!
[becomes 170th sub]
W, you win a prize. What prize is it? Another vid soon hopefully!
In all srsness, thx for subbing.
Did you include Time Man and Oil Man as bonus bosses?
I might, i depends on how devopment goes, for now im still working on the game engine.
so cool
Do you think you'll re-create the sprites to be original characters so as not to get a cease and desist from Capcom?
This is great.
Thx a bunch :)
This looks like a good project to compose for, assuming you'd be willing to take my help
im looking through your music now and it sounds good. im willing to work with you if you hv the time. what platform you want to talk on?
Would it be more like remixes or are you doing wholly original compositions?
thinking remixes@@BBarNavi
Would it be possible to "reuse" parts of the animation that don't change?
It would be, but it would require a more hand crafted solution. And it wouldnt help much unfortunately because the animation doesnt hv a lot of repeating elements.
Bro are you Trinidadian or Grenadian by any chance?
Nice. 😊
tbh hubris, nice
People that hate Mega Man: Powered Up are reasons why things like Canadian wildfires exist.
If so, let the world burn, that art style was a crime against humanity. No hyperbole :)
@@randomcardboardbox2396they could have at least put it on anything that WASN'T the psp
Super
you are trini?
Could the X16 handle Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 3?
Most likely yeah, all the games on the nes use basically the same code. Youd just have to make new art and music basically. Although i dont know if ill do that.
Trini?
How allyuh, does be finning me out boi? Yeah
@@randomcardboardbox2396 I am a trini too Boi look
The run animation looks weird. The jumps in this game feel way too fast and not floaty enough. Amazing work so far still.
yeah I agree, i fixed both of those already. you should be able to see it in the next video soon.
bomba clot!
Still don't understand why somebofy would want to make a game for 100 people max, +however many would play on the emulator.
I think most hobbyists dont do stuff for other ppl. Its just something they want to see exist, and thats how i feel about it too tbh.
Maybe because is this a personal proyect and not comercial one?
