Thanks for your warm motivations on encouraging me to keep on going with the mini game and art project I have for Megaman Zero.
I really quite like Leviathan so I started with her. The previous art you saw of her is also for this game.For motivational purposes I have a sneak peek for you for the Leviathan Stage I've been working on. I will be updating this file every so often until she's done
What other sound effects are needed? Didn't want to overdo it.
************************THOUGHT LOG************************
Nov 13:
What do you think so far?
I was thinking of:
- Having fewer ice mines to start with and having the shrimp give random pickup items of ice mines
- Having a few "golden" shrimp for more points
- Making custom sprites instead of official sprites. I do like the feel of the official sprites so I am impartial to this.
Megaman is really awesome and I quite enjoyed the Megaman Zero series.
This is really a shout out to Keiji Inafune and the Megaman fans...
Why this project? Because Keiji Inafune and developers mentioned they wanted to flesh the guardians' personalities more. There is a storyline and plot to this. Hope will have time and energy to keep making some more...
What score did you get?
Here is Leviathan's art for the game:
jewelmaiden.deviantart.com/art…
************************Main Change Log:************************
Nov 13, 2013:
- Added Golden Shrimp - worth 5 points and are harder to catch
- Leviathan's movements have been increased slightly & boundaries have been adjusted'
Nov 16, 2013:
- Added Leviathan's "hyper" mode - when collecting crystals, she will become invincible
- "hyper mode": primary and secondary attacks changed
Dec 23, 2013:
- Added a tracker for "hyper mode" to indicate your hyper charge progress
Dec 27, 2013:
- some SFX, also has Kira Buckland's voice now
************************BUGS************************
Known bugs:
- sound effect to notify users hyper mode will end soon keeps playing
- ice mines left by Hyper mode still follow through to the next game
- hyper mines left in 1st game also detonate
- normal mines left by 2nd game and after will carry through - blue crystals spawned from those will not be touchable and also carry through --> need to delete all invisible ice mines from previous game
- sound effect of hyper wearing off still carries through
- blue crystals are left to the next game when the Hyper mode is activated in the 1st playthrough
Fixed bugs:
- leaving ice mines from previous game will become invisible but detonate upon contact (score does not increase)
- glowy shrimp do not leave blue crystals (they should)

An enjoyable minigame !
A fine technique seems to be:
set the ice mines in the lower part of the screen while blasting the robo shrimp (XD)
in the upper part of the screen
Top score 102.
I love Leviathan and her voice actress did an impressive job,too.
Enjoy our collab,

Hey thanks a lot! I wish I had more time to work on the games. The idea is to have a mini game for the guardians

Made it slightly harder to activate hyper mode now. Thanks for playing!

Thank you kindly! I hope to release Harpuia next. After Leviathan has been finetuned and more balancing has been done

Thank ya! It's still a work in progress
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, if you didn't stop as precisely it might play more like the water things in most games, but I don't know if that would make it a better game. Hyper mode was a really great addition, nice job!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Thank ya! I updated the file to now have Golden Shrimp worth 5 points (may adjust). What do you think of having custom sprites vs official sprites? And any other suggestions on the game?

Thanks Eqbal

Sadly I don't. But I do think that what you are doing right now is just good.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Cool. I'm still working on adding features. I added a special shrimp worth more points.
Also Leviathan now has HYPER mode.
Just need to work on balancing haha

Haha awesome. I actually got 17 during my test run too XD. Going to polish Leviathan stage and will have Harpuia and Fefnir out in the next few months.
Any suggestions on the art? or the gameplay?

its nice but needs mele or her drangon that pops out of wait the dragon was in mmzx or mmz i cant remeber
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I love the dragon! I think she did have some when you were fighting her as Zero. And you also got them in MMZX when you have Model L.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah and she has rage when its super hard in mmz they all have
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Nice job so far! The mines are a cool special attack; like setting up custom Space Invaders shields!
(14!)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks!! I'm hoping to give each guardian a secondary attack. Leviathan's is cool because of the ice mines
Any opinions on having custom sprites or more types of enemies in the level? Was there enough time to enjoy one level?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
More enemy types would up the challenge and make it more interesting, so that sounds like a great idea.
There's nothing wrong with using the official sprites (saves time!), but if you can manage to create some with your own style it'd definitely help the game stand out (people would be able to glance at a screenshot and realize "hey, this is a unique game I've never tried before!"). The choice is up to you.
The time limit seemed solid to me. Perfect amount to just have some fun without being too drawn out. If you add in some additional enemy waves, I think you'll have people hooked!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks for all the advice! I'll try out some of those then and see how it goes ^^ Interesting idea on the waves! I could see if that would work out - have harder enemies or different enemies. I'll update all of you as soon as a slightly revised version is ready

Thanks! And Good luck!

Hehe added a "hyper" mode to Leviathan. Balance is wonky right now but give her a try and see what you think
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sorry for late reply! The "hyper" mode addition is cool! Lets a player just go crazy and race after all the enemies (and the shot looks wicked!). I dunno if I was lucky or what, but I seemed to get it often... I was practically in that mode the whole round, and ended up with 52 points!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha yes I think the probability to drop a blue crystal is a bit higher than it should be! Thanks for trying it out
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Ahaha nice job! and thanks for the comment! I was thinking of trying my hand at sprite art instead of using the official sprite of Leviathan. What do you think?
