Megavania X: Full Metroidvania created in Mega Maker. 

Dynamic music came out in a future update after I had already finished the stage. Different music would have added a lot to the atmosphere for sure.

Screw that. This is easily a 10/10. So creative with bonus rooms!

Thank you for playing my level! Would love to see yours when it's complete. 🙂

Clockwork is a good competitor

What are these imaginary 'vibes' people keep talking about? What's a vibe?

@@gandalf0987 a feeling, sentiment, or memory of a specific moment in time. Closely tied to an emotion, usually of a positive nature. It’s that good enough of a definition for you?

@@gamerdadjx figured thats what the definition was, but never looked it up. thx for teaching a lurker something, have gud day ^^

Lol, thanks for noticing that!

They did make a Megaman Metrodivania. The Megaman ZX games. I admit they weren't the best done but they are still fun.

@@snapchatsnacks3154 Yeah, they really weren’t the best done when it came to a Metroidvania game. I’d love to see Mercury Steam make one, after how well they made Metroid Dread

Funnily enough, I had a concept of a Megaman X one where the main character could absorb the chips of fallen enemies to power himself, taking the Aria of Sorrow's soul mechanic and expanding it into something more complex.

@@sintheemptyone8108 Mega man Zero 4 did allow you to steal abilities from enemies but it wasn't very good. A new man man ZX game to do a Mega Man Metroidvania justice sounds great though.

If this make you happy have an fan game called Megaman x corrupted and it will by an metroid vania

Capcom is just sleeping in general. They only open their eyes for Monster Hunter or Resident Evil nowadays.

TBF, ZX did have a Metroidvania approach as well. But I wouldn’t mind seeing them try it again, be it a ZX 3 or otherwise.

For some reason Capcom hates MegaMan

​@@TayoEXEmonster hunter sucks

A lot of this is SOTN. Some of the map design comes straight from the game.

Yeah it actually kind of sounds a bit like castlevania music

Thanks for the kind words. In order to obtain his weakness, I placed this boss really out of the way. If this hidden move was found, the player earned the right to skip the final boss. I figured a screen nuke would be the most OP way take out Shademan. HOWEVER, I'm glad there is lore that works with my decision. 😁

It exists thanks to a wonderful game called mega man maker

I've been making a sort of Metroidvania Megaman in Megaman maker ru-vid.com/group/PLojBUU-uA-sr6wqGpwUOwov0ZGiyercHv

Pls tell me if you like it

Thanks!!

I tried hard to test the stage so there were no skips and you HAD to use certain powers when needed, but I had no play testers. By the time I finished, I memorized the stage and robotically played the way I had intended. If someone sent me a video of their playthrough and completely broke my stage, I'd love it.

Thanks, nice name and icon!

I'm not gonna watch the whole video, I think I'll record my playthrough of this!

@@MegaTomPlays I would love to see this. 🙂

If you don't say it, no one will know.

I looked at maps from the spriters resource of not only SOTN, but other castlevania games for idea locations and how the castle could connect. Figuring out which powers help you with traversal in Megamaker often helped me make the section around that power. Does it help me travel horizontally, or vertically? Make sure to know everything a power does! I found out you could stand on the Super Arrow wayyyy to late and wanted to cry! Had to change a good chunk of everything to accommodate that. Honestly, I was better with picking out pretty colored blocks more so then making compelling level design. I recommend using my level for aesthetic inspiration, but looking at other more skilled creators for better level design and gimmick usage. Good luck, would love to see your stage when done. 🙂

@@antshield yeah I'm using the map from symphony of the night too, I'm just making a similar layout too not actually recreating it, but after watching your video it gave me some ideas of how to make my game a bit different

@@antshield yeah I look at yours for aesthetics, I look at the actual MegaMan games for level design, I'm not that good at platformers so I'm not making it too hard like the original games lol

In regards to guiding someone on the right way to go, I didn't really get to see other players play test my level. So I'm not even sure I was any good at guiding the player. My suggestion for level creation would be not to make things too difficult. If a part is hard for you (the maker who knows what's coming) then it'll be extremely hard (and not fun) for the player. For a metroidvania, these rules apply. Don't make the stage too maze like. Begin the stage linear and then slowly branch out. If I had ANY advice I wish I knew before I started, it would be to test out each power throughly. I didn't know that you stand on the Super Arrow until I was almost finished and had to change a big part of the stage. The powers in Megamaker each have a lot of utility, so throughly testing will help a ton preventing sequence breaking. I wish I had known the Skull Barrior let you walk on spikes, I would have used it for that reason. I think a good substitute for a block that hurts you would be the Megaman 2 Yellow force beam. I think that could work well. Thanks for watching! 🙂

Sadly, it doesn't. But I can say that the freedom you DO get it worth checking out even if you have the slightest interest. I wish others makers let you create such a large-scale stage.

Thanks! Sadly, the map is for Maker mode when creating the stage. Stages aren't really supposed to be this big in Megaman, so there is no map feature.
