Prototype Devroom : Game Suggestions Posted by Adrian Marceau on June 24th, 2013 at 5:40pm Viewed 11489 Times
Just shoot me a quick message using the contact form and I'll reply from my personal email so you have it in your address book. After that we can just communicate over email. Thanks. :)
@milansaponja : I agree with most of your suggestions, and thanks for posting.
Some types are definitely most used than others, partially because certain types were duplicated in the three represented Mega Man games (MM1, MM2, and MM4). Flame types appear in all three games, for example, but Nature type only appears in one. Same with Time type appearing in all three but Impact only in one. This will be fixed as I create more abilities, and I'll try to balance out the types that don't have as much love, but at the moment this is still a work-in-progress so please forgive me. >_>
About the Skull Barrier, you're the second person to say it's overpowered so I'll look into it. I thought the fact that it must be used immediately would help balance it (because it fades after one turn), but I'll see if maybe I can nerf it a bit. Maybe have it only block 75% or 50% or something. I just didn't want it to be too similar to the Leaf Shield or the Proto Shield. :|
For the last version about 10 robots on the field at once... I don't think I'll be able to do it. The game can already be pretty slow with 8vs8 so with 10 I'm not sure most browsers could handle it. Besides, I find the 8vs8 battles the least fun because they take so long, so I don't want to exacerbate the problem. For now, you just have to get used to taking different robots with you based on the mission.
Lastly, regarding the MM3 robots, yes they will be unlockable. I need to first finish their stages and decide on how they should be implemented into the campaign, but they will be unlockable for sure. :)
I think what keeps the SkullBarrier as a normal power is the fact that it disappears upon getting damage. All the robots will sooner or later run out of barriers, with the exeption of Skull Man. Thus, I think the ability is only OP when using Skull Man.
Since an in-battle chat system seems way beyond our league at the moment, I had an idea for something more manageable. What if players could write their own Entrance, Taunt, Victory and Defeat quotes for player battles? i.e. instead of the normal quotes for Light, Wily and Cossack, you'd see your own. They would be exclusive to player battles, though.
BTW, sorry the bios are taking so long. My email is kind of flubbed up, so to speak.
That sounds like a great idea! I'll have to put some kind of disclaimer or warning about potential bad-language, but it would be a pretty easy thing to implement and I really like the concept. Nice work! :D

Thanks! Maybe you could add it for the next update?
Btw, I came up with an idea for Heat Man's level up ability, based of his impact/dash attack. I was thinking of something like Fire Man'sFire Chaser, abet with defense (i.e. would be twice as effective against robots with a lower defense than the attacker's, and half as effective against those with a higher defense). It would be a Flame/Impact type, to distinguish it from Fire Chaser.
As for a name, I have a few... -Atomic Dash -Atomic Charge -Atomic Bodyslam -Atomic Slam -Atomic Smash -Atomic Impact -Atomic Tackle

I'm not sure about Turbo Man being a Flame Core robot. I know Turbo Man's weapon is Scorch Wheel, but I think that he should be a Swift Core robot because his theme is velocity, just like Quick Man or Nitro Man.
What do you think?
And maybe Sword Man should be a Cutter Core robot instead of a Flame Core robot.
Sorry the bios are taking so long! My computer crashed a week ago, and I lost all the files I was working on. I'm using a friend's computer now, and he won't let me use his email for privacy reasons. (-_-;)
