Make a Good Mega Man Level 3 - Robot Master Arena ACESpark 2023-05-05 | #MaGMML3Other MaGMML3 Arenas:Mini Boss Arena: youtu.be/--lYhSV8KuUFortress Guardian Arena: youtu.be/RBpdYLW1JG8Judge's Choice Entry Arena (Commentary): youtu.be/hKvNsiH3eZYDiscord: discord.gg/SEHjShyThis games progress is going well in spite of the voodoo curse upon it. Updates to the github are constant. More and more things are getting done.Hopefully there will be a larger update in the not too distant future. For this game, for Revolution Remix, ... come hell or high water these games are getting dragged kicking and screaming out of development hell and QR2 is coming along for the ride.As for this channel. You may have noticed I've been doing erratic livestreams, and they help me. So I'm interested in continuing that for a bit. Its a thing for me. I want to do other things on the channel, but I'm still trying to find my limits.As for this video? Sometimes you wake up way too early on a day you're waiting for a doctors appointment and take an opportunity to record. Aside from a couple of bugs that decided to introduce themselves last minute (the timer on the side stopping due to someone else on the devteam working on leadboard code, Dust Man's arena losing its animation, couple of minor animation glitches..) this was a smooth recording.This completes the trilogy of Devkit Arenas for MaGMML3. There is one final arena that will not be shown off.. mostly because its involving endgame stuff and nowhere near finished. In the meantime, enjoy a revist of some bosses and one more Arena Endboss, this time by Spin Attaxx who I think did a great job.Music Credit:Mega Man 5 Gameboy and Mega Man & Bass boss themes remixed by Minimacro.The Bonus Boss theme remix was by Deltamudkip.

It's levels were made with some enforced limitations (such as randomly selected assets for people to use) and a strict time limit of 2 days! In spite of that, there are some really good stages in here!There's also some really bad ones too, but whatya gonna do.I'll play as long as I am able. Just coming back from recovering again.

My Health got Worse - But Ill Be Ok.... Going Forward - Start of 2023 V-LOG ACESpark 2023-01-02 | NOTE: The game I'm using as background footage/de-stresser is a M-Rated title, so be wary of that.But this topic was stressful and this was ultimately the thing I found that helped me get this recorded.It's no secret I haven't been very well at all over the last few... years!?. And last year was horrible in its own way. It's been very frustrating.But... I am dealing with it. And we seem to finally have some form of answers, things that have consistently seemed to have helped. For the first time in a while, I'm actually hopeful going forward! When you know what you're dealing with and have a plan of action, you know your limits, and the longer I have to deal with this, and I will be dealing with this the rest of my life, the more I can plan for it.I was really hoping to post this prior to 2023, but again, the topic is a bit stressful and I was struggling with that. Ultimately I found a method, even if it does involve some Agent 47 action.Maybe some folks will be surprised that I play modern games at all, hah.0:00 Intro1:25 Topic 1 - My Health10:45 Topic 2 - Some Plans for the Channel14:22 Topic 3 - Make a Good Mega Man Level 3 & Revo16:28 Summing Up

The original was done before my time on the series, but this time I was involved with Tier Boss, Art and one of the Wily levels. I also have some things that haven't been shown off in a long while, so that'll be fun.I'm hopeful I'll get through the 12 stages (and other content) in this stream, as I am a bit more familiar with this section of the game, but we'll see!Get updates at my Twitter account:twitter.com/Sprites_IncAttributionsThe following is commissioned for myself by the following people:Glass Man Art is by PhusionAvatarsMetallic Umbrage - metallicumbrage.carrd.coBannerAaron Foster - animatedaf.co.ukIntro & Outro MusicMelonadeM - melonadem.carrd.co

Due to the sheer numbers of Entry Bosses and with Hindsight, its now down to a single Entry Arena, but unlike MaGMML2, this time is far more curated - and with the hopes of highlighting just what the judges consider a "Good Mega Man Boss".Unlike other videos showing arenas, this one is commentated due to the nature of it.

Start of Year Vlog + Mega Man Revolution Remix - Ghost Man - Bass Path Preview ACESpark 2022-03-11 | Take this video in a positive manner. The burn out means I'm stressed, but not spiralling. Things are continuing, and I'm continuing to get a better handle on my health. I'm mentally ok, but I need to do something else for a bit for my own sake.Don't expect QR2 updates, Revo's will continue. Game Dev is hard and I gotta keep a handle on my health, both mentally and physically. There is no point in passion projects without passion, and I'll do my best to keep said passion.FWIW I opened the source files for both MaGMML and QR2 in the past few days to do the "boring stuff." They're not dead, but not everything in Game Development involves making stages, bosses, and content, y'know?Raw Video:youtube.com/watch?v=t4R_WoNZhRk0:00 Intro3:13 Midstage6:02 Vs Ghost Man
Mega Man Revolution Remix - Introduction ACESpark 2022-01-16 | After being in a state of limbo for a while, I am happy to reveal the Intro for Mega Man Revolution Remix! (As well as a slight redesign for Dr. Remir!)With some fairly large pieces of pixel art, this took quite a bit of work and I'm happy with the result.Whilst it is a bit less dynamic that what Quint's Revenge 2 has, ultimately Me and Mike also wanted it to be somewhat faithful to the original's intro, but you can check out just how much of a difference there is here:youtube.com/watch?v=6e1jc9AMl5AThere will often be additional updates on either my personal twitter account or posted by Mike on the official Revolution Remix twitter, links below.My Twittertwitter.com/Sprites_IncRevo Remix Twitter:twitter.com/MMRevoRemix
Mega Man Revolution Remix Preview - Random Boss Previews (1?) ACESpark 2021-12-21 | ... depending on what people want to see, this may be the first of a few 'Boss previews.'The selection is rather arbitrary (It's in the video name!), but it is a mix of unseen remade bosses, a updated previously seen boss and one that is entirely new to Revolution Remix compared to OG. Life continues to say "no" to all my plans, and a recent incident involving a close family member is leading me to... well, turn off most social media such as Discord, and am only using it to contact close friends or boyfriend. It's also likely I won't get anything else out this year (or even returning to Discord) and I'm considering the rest of the year a wash.I'll probably respond to comments on this video for a bit though.There will often be additional updates on either my personal twitter account or posted by Mike on the official Revolution Remix twitter, links below.My Twittertwitter.com/Sprites_IncRevo Remix Twitter:twitter.com/MMRevoRemix0:00 Intro0:04 Ghost Man1:11 Storm Woman2:03 Reaperbot - Wily Stage Boss3:19 Sakana - Sondebar Base Mini-Boss4:20 Kraken G - Sondebar Base Boss5:24 Further Updates
Mega Man Revolution Remix Preview - Mini Bosses & Their Refights ACESpark 2021-12-03 | In Mega Man Revolution Remix, instead of just straight refights, returning mini-bosses you encounter in the Fortress Stages will have new looks, attacks and/or patterns. This video shows the mini-bosses from Saw Man, Haste Man & Pyre Woman, and their Fortress Stage refights.Some levels have significant differences between playstyles and depending on the player character, you might get different paths. Some of those paths also come with fights unique to them.There will often be additional updates on either my personal twitter account or posted by Mike on the official Revolution Remix twitter, links below.My Twittertwitter.com/Sprites_IncRevo Remix Twitter:twitter.com/MMRevoRemixCasual reminder in regards to QR2 - Revo's coming first.

PICWU-Pico23-Kun (Quints Revenge 2) ACESpark 2021-05-31 | Debated on showing this, but its been a while. While my main fangame focus is getting Revo out the door with Mike, I still dip into QR2 development in the mean time when inspiration hits.Mega Man Castle Stage 2 is starting to come together.Just remember my health is pretty crap atm and life is kind of nuts right now, so progress is slow.
Space Harrier 2 - Boss Rush (No Damage/Death, Hard Mode) ACESpark 2021-05-14 | Space Harrier 2's boss rush was one of the first videos I uploaded to YouTube. That was 14 years ago now (sheesh), so why not re-record that so you get nice shiny HD footage of a 32 year old game.It was also the very first video game I ever beat as a kid, and whilst I don't think its a particular great game (the first one is objectively better), it still holds a soft spot in my heart for the Megadrive's janky attempt at replicating a faux-3d game.It also comes with the world's easiest stage select - just hit left or right to select your starting stage. This doesn't let you skip stages though, you must still beat every stage, and once you clear stage 12, you go back to stage 1 and do any levels you hadn't yet beaten. I've found this is the my best way of clearing this game with both a high-score and a large stock of lives - defeating the two hardest levels out of the gate since the earliest stages allow you to refill said stock of lives.Once all 12 stages are cleared, you face stage 13 - the boss rush. You face all end of stage bosses, although some have minor timing changes (Trimuller for some reason fires far fewer projectiles in the boss rush than he did in stage 1, Neo Dom is conversely much more chaotic than the first time.)Clear the boss rush to fight the final enemy, and there you go!A lot of the bosses aren't particularly difficult, but a few can get pretty close to taking Harrier down. Certain bosses are on a time limit, and failing to kill them in time will result in them running away - taking their score with them.Noteworthy bosses are:Trimuller - The first boss you learn to quick kill - the timing is pretty tight to do so though.Neo Dom - Once one of the robots falls, they will try and bull rush you - if you haven't distributed damage between them fairly evenly, you will be left with no room to dodge. Try to spread the love before finally taking one down. Once the robots have bull rushed you, they escape.Mantichora - The hitbox is a bit wonky when he rushes you, so playing chicken with his dash is rather fun.Wizard - He's easy, but only the entity that is actively firing at you can take damage. He has only 9 HP overall, so single shots are more effective.Medusa - Probably the game's signature boss - she appears on the box art and in a lot of the original marketing.Neo Tomos - By far the most tricky - and chaotic - boss in the game. Stray shots are a nuisance and even killing them is a challenge - as they run away very shortly after they appear.Bins Been - Poor thing, its trying its best.Love Face - This Sigma-lookalike is pretty easy once you know the timing to dodge his split. Good name.Dark Harrier - Fairly chaotic - and his twirling energy rush has a deceptively large (and square) hitbox. He's also on a timer, but damage directly reduces it - so you almost never seem to land the final blow. Still, this guy is a challenge.0:00 Title0:36 Trimuller0:51 Paranoia1:24 - Brizard1:45 Neo Dom2:08 Mantichora2:40 Wizard3:15 Medusa3:59 Neo Tomos4:18 Cragon4:47 Bins Been5:05 Love Face5:38 Cthugha6:10 Final Boss - Dark Harrier7:05 Ending & CreditsI'm still figuring out what games I can, and cannot physically play. A lot of it is based on how repetitive the controls are. In Space Harrier's case, it comes with a rapid-fire built in, so that's handy.

Mega Man Revolution Remix - Robot Master Tracks [Mike Crains N163 OST] ACESpark 2021-03-12 | These are the music tracks for the pre-fortress stage content we do not consider spoilers by their very existence.. except maybe one, but.... You will also see out of context shots of these stages.Music in this video done by Mike Crain. In-game it is called "Remastered", was created in Famitracker using the Sunsoft 5B and Namco n163 chips; and it is, to quote Mike:"A total remake from the ground up of my original OST I made backin 2011, all the while trying to respect the original compositions as much as possible."Plus new tracks for the expanded content.Since its a remastering of the original OST, it sounds pretty different to a Capcom OST.There is also a 2A03 version of the soundtrack which can be considered "closer to a Mega Man NES OST", and is a collaboration between multiple musicians, and is a combination of remixes from the original game and new tracks made at the musician's discretion.That will be uploaded at a later date. There are still a few gaps in the OST that need filling first.I personally don't have a favourite. I think Mike's OST sets the mood better in spots, but the 2A03 has a fair selection of great takes on the music and some of the original stuff is superb. Kind of like Sonic CD for me, I might just swap between these two on alternative playthroughs.There is also a SNES style version of the OST that follows the N163 pretty closely. It's pretty good, (the particularly atmospheric tracks really shine here) but I still prefer the N163 one over that version overall.Track List:0:00 Intro00:10 Ghost Man01:52 Saw Man04:12 Sand Man05:30 Pyre Woman07:37 Vs Midboss08:56 Cryo Man11:05 Haste Man12:41 Amp Man14:35 Storm Woman16:34 Pyramid18:53 Vs Robot Master

Mega Mans Christmas Carol 3 - Why Its So Important ACESpark 2020-12-31 | 2019 was one of the worst years of my life. A year of dreadful health, mental despair and self destructive acts. It nearly took me more than once. So, Mega Man's Christmas Carol 3's mere existence... it's a symbol. But it is also my thanks. My honest thank you to the Mega Man community.This is a difficult video, and it may even be difficult to watch.It was certainly difficult to record, difficult just cutting out areas of awkward silence as I tried in vain to compose myself. It is a dark subject matter.I'm still fighting. I will keep fighting.I hope to see you soon in the new year. I don't know what it will bring. But I will see you soon.
Mega Mans Christmas Carol 3 - Developer Playthrough ACESpark 2020-12-24 | ... well, here it is. A playthrough of the game I consider my middle finger to 2019. This game means a great deal to me. And because of that, I had to get this video out in spite of how I feel.To make a long story short, no, I'm not very well. This is why the editing in this video is going to be fairly slapdash. Watching it back I see some things that snuck in, even though I was sure I deleted it, but like everything related to this game series, its last minute and not tested enough!Still, its up. Ideally, I might've re-recorded this, but December very much said "no".I hope you guys have a good Christmas. I sincerely do. 2020's been hot garbage.

Lets Play - Sparkster [SNES] - (Stage 8 + True Final Boss) - Finale ACESpark 2020-12-08 | Still alive! Apparently that hospital admission + the various things over the month afterwards really did a number on me. What's annoying is that this has been recorded for a short while, I've just been a bit too ill and tired to edit it together. There's been other issues than the throat, just various things combining together really. Still, I think I'm recovering somewhat.It's unfortunate that this game almost ends on a whimper - Stage 8 isn't very fun, and has a few rather dreadful boss fights in it, but at the very least, the fun but difficult Final Boss more than makes up for it. Plus we get Konami Mode 7 effects ripped straight from Castlevania! What's not to love, other than how slow that entire segment is!? :VStill, I adore this game. The endgame is definately weaker than the other Rocket Knight games, but I think how Sparkster controls in this game combined with some honestly great stages earlier on, the amount of unique details, fun if scrappy bosses, polish and sheer charm really make up for it.0:00 Health update & Intro2:00 Stage 8 - Orbital Fortress4:47 Worst.

Lets Play - Sparkster [SNES] - (Stages 5 - 7) - The one where ACE rants at obscure video game boss ACESpark 2020-11-08 | At around 20 minutes in, the video switches gears... and you get something scripted by me for once... and way more editing that normally done on this channel. When I started the LP, I hadn't intended to do this, but the more I learned about the stage 7 boss.. well, I couldn't have covered all that during live gameplay. So, if you're wondering how to screw up a giant robot vs giant robot fight, that's a good place to look! I looked way too hard into one fight.Still, this is one of my favourite video games, in one of my favourite video game series. It was fun getting an excuse to draw Axel Gear again.0:00 Stage 5 - Ancient Ruins7:10 Stage 6 - Noisy Toys12:55 Stage 7 - Return of Gear20:24 Ace goes on tirade about a obscure video game boss24:58 Additional health updates & other FootageIntro animation done by Umber, see her art twitter here:twitter.com/UmbrageArtTAS of the game seen here:youtube.com/watch?v=r6etML6eJbY
Lets Play - Sparkster [SNES] - (Stages 1 - 4) - Radical Forgotten Mascot BLASTS into battle! ACESpark 2020-10-28 | Moving onto a slightly more complex game to play (at least physically), I try playing a game starring my internet namesake, Sparkster! Konami's attempt at catching the lighting in the bottle that was Sonic, and one of the few such characters to actually get some (really) good games!Incidentally, the screencap of the Konami's website shown during the Konami logo is is even under the sub-domain address "Gaming". Make of that what you will.I'm using accessibility software to modify the control setups for retro games, as I am suffering from long-term severe wrist pain issues that makes gameplay difficult. As a result I need unique control setups per game.This does sometimes result in certain acts of clumsiness during live play, (at least twice my XBOX One triggers refused to acknowledge themselves being released, causing Rocket misfires) as the games were not designed for these, but I got on rather well in this game all told.0:00 Intro1:40 Stage 1 - Lake Side6:36 Stage 2 - Ironworks10:55 Stage 3 - Stampy Do!18:42 Stage 4 - Submarine23:58 CodaThere is no ETA on future videos, since at the moment I've been suffering from a form of Dysphagia, the inability to swallow food, and as you can imagine its causing my energy levels to be all over the place. It was fun to play Sparkster again after all these years though.Intro animation done by Umber, see her art twitter here:twitter.com/UmbrageArt

ACE Tries Lets Plays Again - Ghouls N Ghosts (Megadrive) - Loop 1 ACESpark 2020-10-15 | Hey all. I haven't done live recordings for a while now, and I need to practice. The Christmas Carol 3 developer playthrough is coming, but I keep running into recording issues, so I figured I'd cut my teeth on a familiar (and short) game. Take this playthrough as a way for me to catch people up, that'll also probably be the bulk of the 'commentary' in Loop 2.As janky and blatantly unfair as the Ghosts 'N Goblins games are, I honestly love this game, and while I think the SNES one is pretty great too and I think is objectively a better game, I prefer this one from a gameplay standpoint. I like the simplistic nature, and personally prefer having multi-direction aiming and boss checkpoints over the double jump and weapon upgrades. I feel very out of practice doing this sort of thing, and thanks to my health issues, my time spent playing video games is pretty limited lately. I'm familiar enough with the Megadrive/Genesis version of Ghouls 'N Ghosts that even with lack of practice I can beat it easily enough.Some deaths in Stage 2 and Stage 5 were edited out, and commentary around those points was edited to flow more. If you notice oddities with scores/lives, that's why. Stage 5 is abnormally difficult even for this game, and Red Arremers are obnoxious in any GnG game so...I will be following up with Loop 2. I'll probably talk about something else during that run, until we reach the final boss.Intro animation done by Umber, see her art twitter here:twitter.com/UmbrageArt0:00 Intro1:04 Stage 1 - The Execution Place4:34 Stage 2 - The Village of Decay11:00 Stage 3 - Baron Rankle's Tower16:36 Stage 4 - The Crystal Forest20:24 Stage 5 - Lucifer's Castle (+ Talking about Health Issues)
Quints Revenge 2 - OST Preview - New Tracks (Batch 1) ACESpark 2020-08-28 | Quite a few folks have asked if they can have the new tracks done for Quint's Revenge 2 just by themselves, so I thought I'd oblige in the first such video.... This isn't all of them, the OST is still WIP, and there will be more dedicated tracks down the line. A lot of these will be in the demo, except the Mega Man Castle tracks.00:00 / Main Menu00:54 / Inside Titanic Snakey02:35 / Weapon Get!03:13 / Theme of Dr. Light03:48 / Emerald Quick Man Race04:50 / Dr. Light's Lab06:24 / VS Gemstone Champion07:26 / Mega Man's Castle Intro07:33 / Mega Man's Castle 309:04 / VS Sunstone Mega ManThese tracks were done by the excellent and frequent collaborator, MiniMacro, in the style of RushJet1's music. You can check out his YouTube channel here:youtube.com/channel/UCkRSPswihkdKu6JhRLuTDEwThe game is still making use of RushJet's music too, as the game was heavily inspired by his music.
Quints Revenge 2 - War of the Gems - Introduction ACESpark 2020-08-17 | Progress on QR2 is proceeding well, and I have approached the point where I no longer want to show things off prior to a demo release, as I want to maintain some surprises, even for a demo.I unfortunately haven't really had much peace and quiet to do live recordings, so doing anything video wise has been difficult.In the meantime, I will keep plugging away at this.As I said, QR2's going pretty good at the moment.
Mega Mans Christmas Carol 3 - All Cutscenes, Storylines & Endings ACESpark 2020-06-24 | Over the next few days, I'll hopefully be releasing a Developer Let's Play of Mega Man's Christmas Carol 3.You are probably wondering why I am uploading the cut-scenes separately to the actual LP? Simply put, it's due to the nature of it being a developer LP, so I tended to not pay any heed to the cut scenes at all....as well as the subject matter of parts of it, it didn't seem appropriate. So they're separate for easy watching, I guess.This Let's Play was... very emotional for me, and is one of the hardest things I've ever recorded, but I feel it is important. In case you're wondering why that is, around 27 minutes into this very video gives an indication of the topics of part of the Let's Play. Yeah.But... this will be in addition to a normal behind the scenes of this game, both of this version of CC3, as well as the versions that did not make it across the finish line.Expect it in the next few days, providing some equipment needed to finish it turns up.Somehow the plastic connections for my microphone have melted and I'll have to replace that with metal components. I didn't think it was that hot, but oh well.I am very surprised this game somehow ended up with 30 minutes of cut-scenes?! That's more than most mainline Mega Man games, hah.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction03:28 Mega Man: Castle 2 Cleared (Light and Wily team up)03:13 Mega Man: Castle 3 Cleared (Light & Wily Defeated)06:33 Mega Man: Saint's Introduction07:52 Mega Man: Saint Defeated08:23 Robot Master Roll Call10:05 Mega Man's Ending & Epilogue11:56 Proto Man: Castle 2 Cleared (Light and Wily team up)12:49 Proto Man: Castle 3 Cleared (Light & Wily Defeated)15:15 Proto Man: Saint's Introduction16:33 Proto Man: Saint Defeated17:08 Proto Man's Ending & Epilogue19:12 Bass: Castle 2 Cleared (Light and Wily team up)20:16 Bass: Castle 3 Cleared (Light & Wily Defeated)23:02 Bass: Saint's Introduction24:16 Bass: Saint Defeated24:57 Bass' Ending & Epilogue27:02 Message from ACEGame Trailer:youtube.com/watch?v=9YBua572vBwGame Download:drive.google.com/open?id=1_NFMWwFH4Y65B3cIWzn1pEmMm8kZexYN
Quints Revenge 2 - Boobeam Trap MK2 ACESpark 2020-06-12 | Well, this year sucks, doesn't it? I wasn't planning on revealing this without the rest of the stage its in, but... thought I'd say hello. So, hello. If you know me, you should know where I stand on current issues. Some people have thrived in this environment, but I am not one of those people. We'll see how I go.Now, it doesn't suck *that* much on a personal level, at least compared to last year... last year will take some beating for that, but... as far as that goes there's...Suddenly fainting (downgraded to dizzy spells now), blood pressure spikes, general high degrees of stress, deaths in the extended family, worries about my sister who's a doctor...I'm alright though. It's hard to concentrate, and I can't seem to bring myself to not sound like "Eeyore", plus having every member of the family in one house and zero time or space to myself, time has become an illusion.I've almost literally spent the last few months just *drawing.* 90% of that is drawing gay furries. It's about the only thing I find relaxing right now.You can find a bunch of QR2 updates that weren't posted here (in between the gay furries) on my twitter, alongside a webcomic with periodic updates:twitter.com/Sprites_Inc
Quint Wins - FATALITY ACESpark 2020-04-11 | Hey guys. Still alive. All the world's current madness is kinda... making everything difficult. Hopefully will do a full couple of videos out soon. In the mean time, have some goofing off. I may have had way too much fun with these.
Quints Revenge 2 - New Game Mode Proof of Concept ACESpark 2020-01-28 | Somethings a bit funny with the Fire Man stage...Wanted to see how feasible a Randomiser mode was for a game. The game is too far along to go whole hog, but from memory, this is pretty close to the Mega Man randomiser Rom Hacks I've seen, at least, minus the palette swaps.Still around, hands are not really recovering all that well, but I'll be moving ahead anyway. I'm in the process of scripting a video or two, including a Revolution Remix video update, and there will hopefully be a more substantial QR2 update along the next month or so, too.
