And that question is:
Is it ok that I use this forum for posting about a My Little Pony fangame which I've made, I feel you'll be a lot more helpful than than the brony community when it comes to game design/feedback, on the other hand I am also well aware that MLP is copyrighted content which I know is unwanted on this site.
However, the game was made 100% by me using no assets ripped from Hasbro or other official sources, none of the characters from the show actually appear in the game, and the phrase "My Little Pony" is not part of the game's title.
Is somehting like this ok, or should I look elsewhere for feedback?
Here's good. "Show Off Your Project" as well, even though there isn't much to show off yet. :)
--Medicine StormSorry Storm, What do you mean "there isn't much to show off yet?"
I was also planning to move it to SOYP if I got permission to.
Oh! I assumed it was a project that hadn't started yet. If you've got stuff to show, yeah SOYP is the best place.
However, any artwork featuring MLP characters would probably fall under Hasbro IP, so you could put that on the forum, but probably not submit them on the art submission pages.
--Medicine StormI also made a blatant lie to you, I realize. The Parasprites and Bugbear appear in the game, and they are characters from the actual show. Just none of the ponies.
Bugbears are not trademarked. Parasprites: unknown. :/
Either way, you're allowed to talk about fan projects on the forum. Just be aware of the potential copyright issues. :)
--Medicine StormWell I have put something up on SOYP by now. ^^
Saw it. Looks good! :)
--Medicine StormDid you play the game? IF so, thanks a lot for your time. :3
I did. Most of the levels seem to have an area I can't get past without some other ability, so I assume I don't have the ability yet, or I'm not aware of the full range of abilities. Regardless, it's fun. :)
--Medicine StormWell similar to Mega Man there are several weapons. Some of these can be used to open secret areas.
Otherwise, you are aware that you can slide, fly and walljump in this?
I don't want to bother you too much, but is there anything you think should be changed for the remake? Two things that I'm sure of is that it should not have a chiptune soundtrack nor pixel art graphics, every game ever is doing it, and I don't even think it's that fit for the characters. I'm probably gonna go with hand drawn cartoon graphics.
I was not aware of flight. Should have guessed since the character is a pegasus. How do I do that?
I don't know what should be changed for the remake since I don't think I've ever played the original. Unless you mean Megaman was the original?
--Medicine StormThe original is this game, the remake is a new game which i am doing from scratch.
You fly by pressing F while holding down in the air. You can do this multiple times while in the air too. The same button combination can be used to slide on the ground similar to megaman.
But i also had an idea that the remake might feature gameplay more similar to bruce lee/ultimate bruce lee instead of just megaman. ^-^
