I agree with Molly's statement earlier. Shame that there's no archive of all the stuff that everyone's done on the old forums.


Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I mean, it stinks, but at the same time, it was there for a long time (and was badly decaying) and no one really said anything about preserving it. It got so infested with bots at one point that they took up over 4,000 pages on the userlist, and there was no way for new users to sign up. Add to the fact that it was going down every three or so months and Mike had to bug PHP to fix it, and... Well, you catch my drift.

Forums like Cutstuff across the board have taken a gigantic hit to their everyday traffic due to Discord, anyway. I don't know how worth it it would've been to keep it up with all of those issues for the sake of preserving history when few people would be on there in the first place. I'm not saying it doesn't suck that Cutstuff had to get wiped, but I do think with all the challenges it required to keep operating, it made a lot more practical sense to shut it down.
Not at the moment- I'm admittedly a stickler for keeping project Discord servers private in order to keep things focused on what we're working on. I may open it up in the future after a release, but we'll see.
June. 2, 2024, 3:28 PM (Edited by Magnet Dood) What are some underrated/forgotten MM8BDM Mods?
Can confirm that Gunslingers is a ton of goofy fun. You kind of have to steel yourself for getting out early a lot depending on playercounts, but it's simplistic and really enjoyable to figure out. I'm preeeeetty sure it's not currently available with v6b, but I might be wrong on that.

I personally loved Roll's Spring Cleaning which was our version of prophunt. I think it was mainly around during v4 or 5, and it wasn't around for very long, but it was a ton of fun to play. The best part was when you'd get an animated prop that looks like it's walking and try to blend into the scenery by walking as it.

Introducing...

MEGA MAN: ODOS

A Retro Redux!






We're in Hi-Tech Heaven!


This thread will serve as the main hub for a new project I've been cooking up over the past year. As many people know, I was the head of the Mega Man: DOS Reborn expansion that came out a while ago, putting a whole new spin on the DOS1 & 3 games for MM8BDM. (And yes, I will make a new thread for that one soon.) Totally new designs for Robot Masters, new stages, new weapons, custom props, all that jazz. It was a lot of fun to work on, and a smashing success.

However, I've always had a soft spot for making an expansion for the DOS games that, while still spiffied up, stayed just a bit truer to the source material. That's what ODOS is meant to provide- fresh concepts and graphics for the robot masters, weapons, stages, and props, but ones that stay closer to the DOS games we know and love(?).

10 new maps, 9 new skins, and 9 new weapons are planned for expansion, and a first release will include all content for the three masters from DOS1! If anyone's interested in mapping for the project, feel free to let me know; I'll be getting new tiles on a piecemeal basis from someone and can provide them to you eventually.

Looking forward to sharing it with you all soon!

October. 21, 2024, 7:07 PM (Edited by Magnet Dood) MMSP: Cossack Crusaders (V1A RELEASE)

Welcome to Cossack Crusaders!


Grab V1A here!

Mega Man is in trouble again-- Dr. Wily has wiped out all of Dr. Light's robots in a brazen attack, and he's kidnapped the good doctor-- and Roll, too! Desperate for help, Rock turns to an old friend (and foe) in the snow-covered Russian hills. But Dr. Cossack gives him much more than a hand; in fact, he gives him eight pairs! His Robot Masters are ready to turn the tides in Mega Man's favor!


What is this?
Cossack Crusaders is a new mod designed to bring back the single-player experience offered by MMSP, SiN, and MMXSP a few years ago. It was always one of my favorite experiences in 8-Bit Deathmatch, and breathing new life into it via this mod has been extremely rewarding and fun. Fight your way through 8 stages and bring down that malevolent menace Wily!

What's in it?
    Play as 9 classes, each with their own special playstyles, strengths, and weaknesses!
    Collect 72 unique weapons among each class to help you turn the tide of battle!
    Explore 8 different stages, each guarded by a tough-as-nails Robot Master and crawling with mechanical minions!
    Team up with your friends online to take on Wily's robots together!


Great! When will it be released?
We're expecting to release soon! Just a little more patience is required. Hope you're ready to bust up Wily's robots!

Who's working on this thing?
Our team is as follows:
    Magnet Dood: Expansion Head

Until next time!

Like any good forum, I expect to have signatures, a few failed mafia games and at least one 5 page flame war between two users we somehow overlook by Christmas
