What if we can make a Mega Man mod for Cave Story?

I just remembered that I had tried making a disappearing block puzzle in Cave Story before, but I couldn't get it to work. If someone wants to make a test room and see if it's actually possible to pull one off, that would be a great start.

Not gonna lie, if I was nicalis I wouldn't have made the "Take 8" mod an official Cave Story + mod.

#%@& school, anyway I'm gonna try doing an intro stage first, unless we should stick to the 8 stages, and I think it's best to do 4 for right now anyway, because I don't want the players to crash there game with 8 weapons.
This is to give feedback on level design, and I'm doing 10 of them.
*edit*
I drawed 10 ideas, im not doing ten actual stages, sorry I wasn't clear... I'll post the pics but it won't be clear enough.

Tell me what you think should be the idea for an intro stage. *totally not for the demo*

I don't think there was a gear power up. What game was this from? Anyway, the stage ideas look good, very megaman-like. Although some of them don't look like they would fit very well with Cave Story.

the stages look pretty fit, but just one more thing, are you thinking about adding any new mechanics? That would be awesome like maybe the dog power-up that can let you jump really high or something like that, but don't worry about that yet, I think this is going smoothly so far

Improvements to be made,
1. the intro stage needs quality and nostalgia, what game do you feel when you play the demo? *you know you can continue the game normally with that door I put there.*
2. I need a theme, is mega man after wily again, or is it the doctor?
3. how am I going to implement things that you guys said such as rush * I can't do that!* or do you agree with the energy tank chests.
We might have a lot of things mega man to discus that could be used for a future mod made by better people that can out mod me.
If someone die hard has what it takes, id give them my gratitude.

-The aesthetics need to be much better.
-I shouldn't have to do single-block jumps from the get-go.
-Transition was a little awkward.
-That spike drop appears as if it should've been in a Wily stage, not an intro stage.

Just my first thoughts, I can tell it was probably done in a really short time. I've definitely got some ideas, I'll try to get some things posted later today that should be incorporated.

What are you trying to say, you want me to rip the graphics from a Mega Man game on the NES and stick it into Cave Story, or did you have something else in mind?

I think he was trying to say "come on Tpcool" but the autocorrect or his keystroke missed.

Whatever.
Anyways I did what you said and made it more aesthetic so try it out again.
I'm no genius modder so what you get will probably not be the best thing around.

But I do need the deep criticism or I won't know @#$% to do since I'm not accustomed to classic mega man.
I grew up with legends and battle network=weak mega man fan.

New version is a step in the right direction, but there's still much room for improvement. I'll try to help as much as I can. First off, can you answer my question about the graphics? Did you want me to rip some from a previous Mega Man game and liven it up with that? Second, Intro Stage music. This came from the Intro Stage to Mega Man 7, and it's one of my favorites. Should it be included?

Well only 7 and 8 have intro stages, and 7's intro stage music seems to be very well liked, it's one of my favorites as well. It's up to him, but I think you should. And as a side note, that's a beautiful rendition you made, if you did make it. The problem is, I'm not sure if it would fit that stage very well. It fit with the city in Mega Man 7, but I'm not sure about this. And about ripping the graphics, I think that would be a bad idea. Not that it wouldn't look good, but it would just be a little strange with those graphics in Cave Story, especially with the different physics and stuff. Also, megaman never pointed his buster up or down so that has to be made. I think you should just stick with the one Metalsonic71 made for now. Of course, that's also up to him.

I said in a post that "I will handle the graphics." did I not?
Anyone that wants to rip me some classic mega man stuff which is brainless easy to do is fine by me.
Simply put, google "mega man tilesets" and I guarantee you there is no challenge in anyway.
Let me handle it.
