It’s been a long while since I posted on this blog about the Mega Man RPG Prototype, and that’s primarily because I’ve been posting all the progress and changes of the game on it’s official website instead. The project has really changed a lot since the last time I mentioned it on this blog – it’s like a whole new game and if you haven’t already checked the game out, please, please do! The URL is as simple as rpg.megamanpoweredup.net and you don’t even need an account to give the game a spin. Click the “Prototype” link and you’ll be treated with a demo version of the experience, and if you like it you can sign up for the full game. Please note that the game technically is (and always will be) in-progress, but sometimes it’s pretty hard to tell given the amount of content available thus far.

One of the biggest updates in recent memory was the addition of a third single-player campaign starring Dr. Cossack and the Mega Man 4 robots as well as minor enemy “Mecha Support” units added to all the fights. Here are some screenshots of that latest update to give you an idea of the progress made so far:

Dr. Cossack and Mega Man vs Drill Man and Drill Moles

Dr. Cossack and Proto Man vs Toad Man and Robo Fishtots

Dr. Cossack and Mega Man vs Bright Man and Bulb Blasters

Dr. Cossack and Proto Man vs Pharaoh Man and Pyre Flies

Dr. Cossack and Mega Man vs Ring Man and Ring Rings

Dr. Cossack and Mega Man vs Dust Man and Lady Bladers

Dr. Cossack and Proto Man vs Skull Man and Skullmets

Dr. Cossack and Proto Man vs Dive Man and Manta Missiles

As you can see in the screenshots above, a new female robot with purple hair has been introduced and her name is SWN-002 Disco! She is the Loyal Apprentice robot and serves as Dr. Wily’s analogue to Dr. Light’s Roll. Another new character added to the game is named SCN-001 Rhythm and in the same way Disco is the Roll of Wily, Rhythm is the Roll of Cossack. She’s a lot shorter than Disco, as you can see below, and when you see Roll, Disco, and Rhythm together they’re strikingly similar to the Alia, Layer, Pallet combo from the X series. Pretty neat if I do say so myself. ;)

Dr. Cossack and Rhythm vs Mega Man 4 Robot Masters

Lastly, a new Star Force mechanic has been added to the post-game allowing you to collect Field Stars and Fusion Stars from completed stages and power-up your robot’s elemental abilities even farther than ever before. The Robot Database and a few other things have been updated too. Here are showing screenshots showing the rest of the updates off:

And there you go – that’s what I’ve been working on in a nutshell. Please check it out! And thank you to everyone who does! :D
