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

Axido · Jan 27, 2023

Very nice to see a project like this surfacing in this day and age.
Reminds me of the good old Mega Man Engine that is available for GameMaker 8. I even ported that one over to GMS 1 for a fangame project, but I didn't care enough to work on it after 2015 or so, which is kinda sad.

I'd love to poke around with the MMX engine as well, but as I got my own bigger GMS projects now I'm afraid others will have to make cool fangames with it. However, there's still MMX: Corrupted being worked on if all else fails.

Is the engine compatible with widescreen, or it will be?

i hear hadoken or is my imagination?

ok... NOW someone do a GOOD Mighty No.9

Cool, not into Rock Man fan stuff but looks sweet nonetheless. Very accurate.

Yes. You could just tell Gamemaker to use widescreen resolutions everywhere. View dimensions are easily customizable in the IDE.

What I'm more concerned with is whether the code uses fixed framerates and if so, whether it has support for 60fps built into its code.

I guess I'll have to take a look at it sooner rather than later just to see for myself.

Edit: Seems like it's coded for static 60fps.

If you search for delta_time in the repository you will get no results.

I really hope someone makes a better 20xx like game than the 20xx game with this engine.

This is nice but it has the 16 bit graphics. The playstation era megaman looks better. Can you use those assets with this?

If they will, people will be like "wait where's your Mega Man maker?". Not worth it.

Unless things have changed with them, I remember hearing that Capcom is usually fine with fan-made games, so this'll probably be fine.

It's an engine. They're meant to be used for their coding and structure, you can use whatever assets you like. You could even make it not related to Mega Man.

Megaman X Metroidvania anyone?

DarthDub · Jan 28, 2023

Just tried it out, it's pretty neat. Just add some more polish and it'll be amazing. PS: Axl obliterates bosses with ease.

BLsquared · Jan 28, 2023

Slick. Always love a new Rockman fan game engine!

They did that with Megaman ZX series and Zero 1.

I do hope good games come out using this engine.

krakenx · Jan 28, 2023

I'm quite impressed with this. There are a lot of characters, especially including many X armors, and they all control really well. There isn't a lot of content level-wise yet, but there is enough to tell that the engine is very well done.

Magma Dragoon from X4 is here with PS1 graphics, so yes.

Yeah i finished Zero 1 and tried ZX but I want it more like original X 90s Vibe.
