Um, it's a hype bus.... Anyway, Tails, the day isn't done yet and Adrian has a job. Now, I don't know his work schuedle, but I've noticed that he sends from his Iphone around 2:00, meaning that might be his lunch break. He sends from a stationary device around this time, meaning this is when he gets off work. He's probably still working on a few quick things that he didn't get to finish yesterday. Now, I've also noticed that most updates happen later in the day. He hasn't sent me anything stating he's delaying, so until then, the tenative release date will be today. We have so many hours until the day ends, just wait a little. :) Adrian's human and he's most likely testing as we speak. Probably refining a few things(or most likely taking a break, as he most likely just got off work.) If I get a message that it's going to be delayed, I'll tell you guys, don't worry. Anyway......Good Luck Adrian!

Who knows? the update could come in just a few minutes, but if it comes out today, it might be out at 7:00 or 8:00. And i might change my avatar to shadow man.

So the update might not come out today?



Nah, I'm just joshin' ya. Adrian can take as long as he needs to.

"Hey you,

Just wanted to give you an update and a few notes before I start programming again.

Firstly, yes I do have a day job. I work as a web developer - programming various websites and applications, doing the necessary design work, and (more recently) leading a small team of younger developers/designers - from 8am to 4pm Monday through Friday. It takes me about an hour to get work and a little more than an hour on the way home because of traffic and because I almost always have to get groceries or run other errands. I get home around 5:30pm most days and then have to do my daily cleanup of the house (because apparently no one else will) and put groceries away and then start making dinner. And then of course we have to eat. This means most days I am not able to start actually programming until nearly 8pm. I may take a moment or two to reply to one of your emails or start up my computer, but that's not often. And given that I have to wake up at 6am the next morning you can imagine how little time I actually have every night to work on the game before it's lights out. It's frustrating not being able to work on the game as much as I'd like to, but that's life and I have to pay the bills so... yeah. I'm not mad at you guys or anything - I'm the one who keeps getting my own (and everyone else's) hopes up when I think it's gonna be done - but I want you guys to know what I'm working with here. Weekends are obviously better but I still need to contribute to my family, keep up my end of the chores, and take breaks so I don't burn out. It's hard for me and I really am sorry to keep you waiting, but I promise it's not from me being lazy or incompetent. I really love this game and you guys and for some strange reason it's the most important thing in my life right now - please be patient with me.

That being said, I do PLAN to have the update ready to start launching tonight and then it should be playable sometime tomorrow afternoon, but please remember I'm human and I'm trying my best. I will let you know if things change. I did forget about one thing - making Super Arm sprites for each of the eight new fields - but that should only take me an hour. After that I need to make some text edits and then..... that's it. I'll turn off all the debug and admin options, do a quick run-through of all the battles and functions, and then if all is cool I will update the main website with an "offline" notice and start the process.

I would like to ask that everyone try to get their play/posts wrapped up by the end of the night and please log out of your accounts. I'm going to be making a massive backup soon after taking the site offline, and I would like to avoid anyone loosing progress (even if it's just a few minutes). I know it's been a long, painful, slow journey, but this update will absolutely be worth the wait. No matter how many bugs it ends up having, I will do my best to fix them and the parts of the game that do NOT have bugs will still be as amazing as they've always been. :)

Wish me luck!
- Adrian

OH, and one more thing. In addition to the MM3 fields getting new music (obviously), many of the other event-stages are getting new themes too. Several in some cases. And I tried to make sure each tab in the prototype's main menu has unique music too, so look forward to that. :)"

So, yes, Adrian is planning to release today, but do know that he is busy and that it does take time. So, just because he hasn't released it yet today doesn't mean he isn't later. Please give him patience guys! He truly does deserve it! Although, I know we're all super-excited! Good luck Adrian!

So he can work for about 2 hours or so each day if he works non-stop on coding? Man if he's getting all this done is this little time he's REALLY good at coding, or really good at overestimating time spent on working on things.
Either way he's better at coding than I ever will be.

To anyone of those who believe that the Update has NO chance of appearing today.......


Mega Man 4 : The Meganificent Update(another huge Update)
Posted by Adrian Marceau on October 11th, 2013 at 11:23pm

So finish up your business and start to log off please! Now, I'm not exactly sure if it is coming today, but you can still view new things through the guest account? Better than losing Battle Points and things you were posting....Bye! I'm leaving!(BTW, I've been observing thins for the last hour! Super-excited...and tired.)

I come all the time as a guest, logging in sometimes to play or to post. I mainly view as a guest to try to avoid people challenging my robots, but with the upcoming update I feel a little better with my robots defending me. I need people to get discouraged to face my team. I got way too many losses...

ITS OUT! yes i did this post on the june update aswell, it also came before my birthday!

If you don't mind me playing detective a bit, I notice that there is a move between Copy Shot and Energy Fist that is conspicuously absent in this update...what was it, and what happened to it?

@CHAOS_FANTAZY : Adrian did talk about stuff getting cut and added later, as a filler update. So maybe it belongs there?

@Brorman : might be the "mirror buster" that megabossman was talking about that 1 time.

What the heck.
Why is there a heart? Why not a replacement?
It would make more sense (opinion only).

Why replace a symbol? It'll be needed anyways when another Mega Man game is added.

@SparkChaser : The heart tank item didn't work out. Turned out to be more trouble than it was worth (as a player, not a developer) so I scrapped it. Trust me when tell it would not have been a fun addition - I tested it out and it was annoying.


@Reisrat : What are you referring to, exactly? I'm a little confused. :P

I thought that Mega Man 3 had added a heart symbol to show completion.
