Hi everyone!Long time no see, I guess I owe an explanation for my absence here. I can't go into details but life has been hectic due to personal issues. But this is not the place to talk about that, I am here today to bring you some good news :-)
Luckily, I have been able to continue working on Mega Man World 4 DX (which is my main focus now). And we've done a lot of progress lately!
The hack is probably 80% done and there are very high chances for a Christmas release! Here are the current status:
all main stages are colorized
99% of hacking is done (only a few fade and flashing effects are missing)
intro is colorized (it looks awesome!)
all static screens (title, password, game over, weapon get...) are colorized
pause menu is colorized
As of now, the game can be played from start to finish without any bug or glitch and everything is colorized (until you reach Dr. Wily's fortress).
Here is an exclusive preview for all of you!
Can't wait to see your reaction when you watch the entire animated intro, it's probably one of the best looking screens in the DX colorization scene. I'm very proud of how it ended up. Of course and as always, the graphics are by Kensu. But I have been very involved in this one because in order to put sprites overlay (and achieve that colorful result), I had to recode parts of the intro. It has not been an easy task, but it has been worth the effort!
On a personal note, I'm going to San Francisco next week, my very first time leaving Europe, yay! It's not exactly a vacation, but a... therapeutic trip.I'll be there enjoying the experience, of course, but I've got 15 hours long flight and I'm bringing my laptop so I'll try to get ahead on work during downtime.
As always, thank you all for your support and patience.Take care.
