RPG Maker Game Idea: Mega Man RPG

[William0918]

Hey, I have an idea for an RPG Maker game called Mega Man RPG. It would be like Mega Man X Command Mission in a way. I wanted the idea to be based on some unused artwork for MMXCM (Mega Man X Command Mission). Heres the unused art:

In this is art is a new Mega Man design, 2 Mettaur designs, and 2 Cut Man designs. Don't include the Mets or Cut Man, just have Mega Man.

Characters:

Heroes:

Mega Man - The titular hero, and he would look like what he is in the unused MMXCM art (above).

Melody - A girl robot that would be similar to Cinnamon from MMXCM.

Bass - A robot that is a friend of Mega Man. He would look like what he did in classic Mega Man, but with different armor.

Crasher - A male ninja robot.

Red - A robot similar to Spider from MMXCM.

Harp - Works like Axl.

You can make your own villains for this game, and also create designs for the heroes (except for Mega Man, for he will be the same as he does in the unused art, however, the blue one is the one I want, not the one with the gun on his shoulder.)

Also, you can also make your own Hyper Modes for them.

the fact that you have unused art tells me you hacked the game. That, and the fact that mega man probably won't be free domain anytime soon means you'll probably have to keep this game to yourself, or else you could face legal issues from nintendo and whatever company made the mega man games

whatever company made the mega man games

...you mean Capcom?

Capcom owns rights to Mega Man therefore you don't have the rights to use their materials, free or otherwise.

This may be unused art, but that just means the designs weren't used in the actual game. The game's art gallery has these pictures, and it's posted many places on the net, probably not "ripped"...

The ideas sound sorta neat. I wonder what you mean by making your own characters and bosses and hyper modes...?

Also, Red is already a name of a Mega Man character (he's in MMX7)

But...well, this is the official RPG Maker forum, so it's not exactly the best place for fangames I think...

I love mega man but I'm sure this game would get you a heap of legal trouble. Make your own robotic universe and artwork and tell your own story. It's more creative and won't put you at any risk of a take down notice or court action.

They might let you slide using the idea, but using the resources and making a somehow directly Megaman-ish game? They'd probably sue you. Remember that even the person who made megaman needed to rename and remodel the char for his new game when he left(?) capcom since capcom owns megaman.

all legal issues aside, I think a mega-man-ish like RPG would by kind of cool. I'm not even a fan of the series (though i played one game. also, by not a fan I mean iv'e never really gotten into mega man that much). You might want to check out cyber-punk genre tilesets and sprites. that could help you get started.

Also, like said above, this is a great oppertunity to come up with your own plot. Like, an A.I. invasion of a planet, were A.I. fight against humans. or maybe... Maybe a group of A.I. (as well as other lifefroms) are living on a dying planet. So, the main charecter sets out on a mission to discover what's going on.

Then, the planet slowly dies out in the first third of the game, and what few life forms remain have to flee the planet. the planet the main charecters (mostly A.I. i guess) flee to has much of the same things going on as the first planet did sevral hundered years ago, and is starting to die out as well. (but it's not caused by some monster or something, that would be too obvious) and the rest of the game is figuring out what's going on, while many foes, and enviormental obstecals stand in your way. 

those are only a few ideas. try coming up with one on your own, but if you use the second one, please ask first, because I might use it now that i think about it
