Monster World Legends

Hello everyone:) Its been a minute since I gave you my last update on what's going on and I think its about time I tell you all and bring you out of the dark.

First of all, the game itself is doing a lot better than what I had intended it to be. I know that bringing in new ideas often pushes a game's completion date further and further, but its been well worth it so far. Due to the fact that this game is becoming more modern and being inspired by games such as Super Mario Galaxy and Sonic Lost World, the platforming has become better and more fluid.

Also, many stages have been re-polished and many new stage ideas are yet to come. I have so many concepts I want to implement, but I have only planned 64+main stages. Each stage is planned to look somewhat or completely different from any other stage to create that feel of variety and that each stage is its own world.

There is a special item I've created in the game called a "BGM Disc". With this disc, you can download any midi you'd like and play the song from a customized menu. The item is designed to have 120 playable songs from various games and 20 of which you can add yourselves. I wanted the songs to be midi because they are small in size and run a bit smoother. An MP3 version of the item is being looked into, but they currently don't work too well.

As far as the characters go, I'm going to release an updated roster of all of the current and planned playable characters from the game. They all may make an appearance in this game. But, I may save some for a new fangame. I'm thinking about making a Sega All-stars in Monster World.

Again, I apologize for the game taking so long. It started out simple, but the more I learned about the engine and the MW franchise, the more ideas that came to my head and the further I had to push back the release date. I pray that you'll enjoy it once I release the last to final demo and the final game itself.

And speaking of the game, if things are looking good within the engine itself, I believe that I will go ahead and release the engine to the public. You WILL NEED Game maker 8 pro for it to function. It has over 2500 sprites, 100 sounds and songs, 1000 objects, over 100 backgrounds, over 12 huge chipsets, and a ton of rooms from stages to towns and much more. Anyone will be able to edit and create a decent 2D platforming world easily with this engine as I explained how everything works in comments and tried to make it as easy as possible to understand.

<<<LENGTH>>>
I plan for the game to be at least 4-8 hours. With adding a storyline in between stages and making Story stages as well, the game's length easily increases. Also, there are 100 treasure chests and several key items to obtain around the 70 or so stages in the game. It is also challenging as a whole, which means losing lives is common.

<<<STAGES>>>
As far as stages go, there are 56 Main stages, 6 color-block stages, 8 story stages, and about 24 extras planned. I would like there to be 100 stages actually. Each stage with its own name and song so that no song is repeated in any other stage. Think of each stage as a "Zone" in a Sonic game. No Zone(exempting Green Hill Zone) is repeated and every one has its own special song. The same goes for Mega Man games.

Well, that's about it for this time around. This project has become something I never expected and I remember kentona saying in a blog somewhere to start out with a huge project to make the smaller ones look easy. So, I'm doing just that. Good luck with your projects everyone and have a blessed day.

Hello everyone, this is a warning that marks the Title Change of Fantasia:Rise of a legend. The game has been known as that since the start of development and began when I didn't know what the MW series was. I simply found the series by surprise and it developed from there. Over time I began to think about changing the title to something more globally known and not some random RPG-like name that I came up with to be original.

.

This is the new logo for the title now known as Monster World Legends(MWL)If you will be looking for this game in the future, the old name of fantasia will be gone and most likely saved for a future game. However, I will be working on my Lufia game directly after its completion.

I just wanted to give a fair warning to anyone who will be looking for this game in the future. Also, the game is going great by the way. There is so much stuff to be done, but the overall stages are 80% complete with 7 more to create in the Main Story.There will also be some extras in the game also such as bonus characters and a MM Generations Package.

The Monster World Generations Package will be a large pack dedicated to the Monster World Series and will feature content such as games, music, history and several other information such as fan games(including this one).

Over the past couple of years, this game has been known as Fantasia::Rise of a legend. That was when I didn't know what I was doing in game maker. I wanted to create an original title, but I didn't know anything about the Wonderboy/Monster World games before I started designing this game.

Now, The game has become such a Monster World-Crazy game, I can't call it what I want to call it anymore. I would like to keep the name Fantasia, but I may save the name for a new platformer in the future.I have decided to change it to a Monster World name. I'm thinking Either Monster World Legends or Monster World Adventure. That way I won't confuse the veterans of the franchise and hopefully attract more fans of the series as well.

Plus, It is planned to be a true tribute to the Monster World Franchise and I don't want to create an original name for an existing franchise. Also, the game can't be named Monster World V in terms of chronological order because this game takes place after Monster World III, so I may call it Monster World III-2(Sort of like how Final Fantasy games use X-2 and so on.)

I just wanted to give a heads up for anybody who would like to know and not get confused looking for this game in the future. Thank you for reading and Happy Holidays!!

Ok, a lot has been going on in with this project, but I've kept everyone in the dark for while and I'm sorry about that. However, there are plenty of things that have kept this project going. Here is a list of what has been done.

• Treasure Hunting

New to Fantasia is a treasure hunting system in which there area total of 100 chests to seek out. Each chest has special items that range from simple items to significant ones that will decrease the challenge of the game or help you progress further into it. For example, you initially start with a max capacity of one potion, if you find a potion plus, you can increase the number of potions you can carry.

• Stages Complete So Far

Worlds 1-3 are now complete! That is a total of 24 Stages to play through.

• Monster World III Tiles and sprites complete!!

Originally, One of the main things that made this game very hard to make was
the lack of tile sets. Now, I have ripped ALL the tiles and sprites from MW3 and a huge chunk from MW4.I will release them once the game is complete.

• New Sound Effects

I took a long look around and I came to a conclusion that nobody has the sound effects from MW3 or MW4. So, I had to rip some of them myself. I may not be able to get them all because I can't disable the BGM on emulators, but I do have quite a few of them.

• MW3 Towns Complete

I copied the maps from MW3 and decided to give them all remakes, so now MW3's locations are built in the game. I also plan on doing levels for the game as well.

• Character Debuts and Re-Mastering Coming Up!

Along with the characters in the game, there are going to be plenty of new characters, cameo characters, and some that may just surprise you. Most extra characters are for fun and are unlocked upon certain conditions or simply entering secret worlds.

• Power Ups Complete!

Within this game there are a total of 30 power ups that will make stages easier and fun. Two of the newest ones are the Light Wing(Float down slower) and the Magic Shield(Block Projectiles).

• World 4-8 in production!

Worlds 2 and 3 were very difficult to develop concepts for. But, they are complete now:) Worlds 4-8 should be easier to complete.

There is plenty more that I would like to leak, but some things are better left a secret. I also plan on releasing a brand new demo soon, so keep a look out for it.
