Now is time for me to announce fangame that I have been making design documents and concept art for!
I began working on Mega Man Parade around in October 2016. It’s been my lifelong dream to become a game designer, and I’m fairly certain that making a Mega Man Fangame is a great start to that path.
Unfortunately, while I may have what it takes to design a game in artistic aspects, my programming knowledge is less than ideal. But since I want this to be a team effort, I’m hoping anyone who is willing and able, can find their place on our devteam.
I’m also hoping folks can give me some good nudges in the right direction for resources, since my knowledge and experience with programming isn’t the best. Please don’t insist that I try to develop the game by myself, I want this to be a team experience.
For months, I worked on and off producing design documents that explain exactly how I want things to work in the game. While some elements of the documents aren’t complete, (namely I still can’t come up with a boss for the first fairground stage) I would love to have some insight and feedback from others.
Our Team so far
1337gamer15- Project Lead, Main Character Designer, Environmental Designer, Document Designer.
Karasz- Enemy Designer, Logo Design, Various Promotional Arts
Premise
This is a nonprofit fangame project, intended to amass me a team of designers and developers, whom after this project, can get enough of a simulated experience of professional game design and development, to move on to higher grounds later.
Story so far…
The Robot Expo Parade Carnival has rolled up in town. Mega Man is contacted by the carnival’s MC Rho, who offers him a float at the parade. He also tells him that 9 other guest performer robots from around the globe will be appearing alongside him at the grand celebration.
However, it doesn’t take long for Mega Man to realize that the whole carnival was a trap by Dr. Wily to spread a newly developed malware across the masses quickly. This new virus seems to allow robots to harm humans without fear of deactivating, and the 9 robot guest performers go berserk! Mega Man steps forth to oppose Wily for the millionth time.
Confronting the mad doctor, Wily orders his new robot, Rho, to fight Mega Man. Rho charges his attack, but instead, attacks Dr. Wily! Rho says that Wily may have brought him into this world, but this “blessing” has made him realize the burden humans are on robots. Seems he didn’t think his plans through. Now this virus has taken his control away from his own robots! Rho enlists the aid of the now infected 9 robot guest performers in his scheme to overthrow humanity! He offers Mega Man a position in his army, but Mega Man refuses as hard as he can.
Injured, and reduced to a hospital bed, Dr. Wily is forced to depend on his old nemesis Mega Man, to find and contain the threat of a robot of his own creation.
Overall, the story is meant to serve as a “series finale” to the Classic Mega Man story, and explain more why things are the way they are in Mega Man X

Master of the Seas
Bio: Mascot for a pirate themed tropical getaway resort. Wields large kegs of grog, the most volatile substance known to pirates, very explosive and corrosive.

Master of Skating
Bio: Created by a company that makes weapon props for use in movies. Fitted with an experimental antigravity device, that allows him to spin or detach his torso. He is also a champion figure skater.

The Warrior
Valkyrie Woman PUN-09 (Opera Singer Robot)
Master of Opera
Bio: Opera singer robot of little popularity. This may be due to the fact she only shows herself to an audience she deems worthy. Don’t expect a happy ending with her around... Her weather control systems are a wee unstable and could break if the same force was struck at herself.

The Almighty
Rho PUN-00
Master of Ceremonies
Bio: A robot Dr. Wily made to host a fake “Robot Expo Parade” to spread a new virus he was testing.

Good Point: Charismatic
Bad Point: Megalomaniac
Like: Lycoris Radiata flowers
Dislike: Dr. Wily
Energy: Unknown
Quote: “It’s for the greater good of robots everywhere.”
The weapons
![[Image: wepicon_zpsub7qtein.png]]()
Plaid Block – Fire a sewing bobbin that turns into a plaid cushion. Can be used as a stepping stone. When shot at enemies, it tangles them in sewing thread, and instantly kills small enemies, even Metalls hiding in their helmets.
Iris Laser – Fire an eyebeam that will ricochet off walls, and can explode into a giant flashing eye of light. You can fire again to detonate early.
Genie Illusion – Fire a holographic copy of Mega Man, that will explode, as well as attract the attention of enemies. Enemies who shoot it will be electrocuted, and if they touch it, it will explode in their face. Not all enemies are fooled though…
Homing Crossbow – Fire a crossbow bolt, that you can charge to lock onto enemies.
Slider Tackle – Allows Mega Man to do a dashing slide that can let him tackle enemies. He also leaves behind 3 floating dust clouds that harm enemies. He can also now slide in midair, for an air dash. You’ll also be invincible for a wee sec after the attack.
Powder Keg – Fire a rolling barrel that explodes when it touches something. Can aim up to do a lob shot, that will roll slower when it hits the ground.
Swarm Shield – Surround yourself with a swarm of butterflies to protect yourself. Can absorb a few hits before breaking. Can also be fired forward. Additionally, while the shield is on, you’ll fall more slowly, letting you platform more cautiously.
Kukri Slasher – Fire a boomerang kukri, which pierces enemies, and can even retrieve most items. Can aim up for an arc shot, and aim down for a dip shot.
Valkyrie Storm – Summon a thunderstorm! Rain wipes out all small fries, while 4 lightning bolts will strike down in random locations, all in sync to the high notes of “Ride of the Valkyries” The lightning bolts can deal decent damage to enemies who aren’t wiped out by the rain. It’s very powerful, but you gotta bear in mind that Valkyrie Woman’s stage is going to be rather difficult.
What needs to be done
As of now, an engine for the game has not yet been determined. Once a lead programmer is brought onto the team, that will be taken care of.
We need:
Programmers, who can help us get the development aspect rolling
Music Composer
Additional Spriters, if possible
Also I’ll need help launching a website for the game once we get far enough.
What I’ll be handling
Supervisor
Cutscene Storyboards
Documentation
Various Sprite art assets (My experience with art is good, but with pixel art is a bit iffy, I don’t feel incapable, but I would appreciate have extra help with this)
Cutscene stills
Dialog Scripting
Concept Art

If you’ve done work on previous fangames before, it’ll be a surefire sign that you’re eligible.
If payment is necessary for your work, so be it, but please keep in mind that my income isn’t the most reliable.
You will also need to read and understand a guideline document that I have written.
Upon joining, you will be allowed access to our Discord and Google Drive, for sharing assets and discussing matters (Be sure to ONLY share via drive, to prevent leakage)

Feedback
Lastly, for folks who may not be able to land a spot on the devteam, you can always give feedback on the game project, and make suggestions to us.
I do plan on releasing some demo builds of the game throughout development, so please give us your thoughts.
Do bear in mind that some assets are concrete to the game, such as I’ve already determined the robot masters, how their stages work, and each and every aspect is a piece of a bigger puzzle, and may not be so easily changed, but we certainly can change things like the layout of stages.
