Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



Remember that thing I showed you guys at PAX?  It's done! We're excited to finally unveil a hobby project a few weeks in the making -- a Mega Man Maker! Its been a real team effort: Nick came up with the idea, Jonathan Holmes did the heavy lifting by friggin' drawing *all* of the sprites, Colette made the random backgrounds, everyone chipped in with character ideas and names, Dale North remixed three tracks including the new MM9 store song, and if anything breaks you can kick me: I was a flash web design monkey in a previous life. Go team!

SO WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH IT?

  • Kill time and brain cells. You're not that busy at work anyway, right?
  • Create a pretty convincing looking Mega Man boss in a few clicks
  • Mix/match heads, bodies, feet, and accessories - over 250 bodyparts!
  • Use the drawing brushes to doodle in your own haircuts accessories
    (In before the "I drew Mega Man a penis d00d", plz keep it PG-13)
  • Give your man a name, play his dramatic intro
  • Be lazy - use the random button and we'll do the work for you

MEGA MAN MAKER CONTEST!

If you haven't already picked up the game or would like to put it on another console you own, we're here to help! We're giving away 3 copies of Mega Man 9 on the platform of your choice: XBLA, PSN, or Wiiware. To win, simply create an awesome Mega Man Boss, take a screenshot of it and post it in the comments below. 

Dtoid staff will choose our three favorites at the end of next week and pass along your gifts codes.  Dtoiders worldwide are eligible to win, so get mega-making!

Haha, I know, sorry about that. It was just tricky to finish it between the cracks of working on the site. I went to bed at 4am last night fiddling with it. We'll probably continue to mess with it in the future -- it would be cool to make a character and play a stage with him.

Who wants to help me build a Mega Man level builder?

I can't seem to get the colors in the draw tool to work. Am I missing something?

Wait, I just noticed that it starts off showing "D345MAN." Did you program stuff in for when different people start the Maker up?

Also, once you get to the end of the numbers, you get to 70 which is nothing while scrolling right, but then you skip it while scrolling left.

It's a damn good thing that I didn't see this earlier in the day, because I wouldn't have accomplished SHIT at work.

So awesome. Thanks for all the hard work, Niero and crew. It's very much appreciated.
