dr. wily prepares for mega man 11: a warioware d.i.y. mini game story
#1
i spent way too much time working on these mini games over the last ~3 months and now i finally made a video of all of them and i figured i'd post it here.
the initial idea was to create mini games that would show all the things wily does "in between" the mega man games. i put over 100 hours into this. i can't even quite believe it myself. i'm hopelessly obsessive about things that fascinate me, especially when i find that i can combine them with something else that i love (mega man). there's a bit more info and some trivia about the games in the description of the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSkBOcBTXfg (make sure to watch the 480p version in the bigger/expanded player, the 360p one is very low quality and full of nasty compression artifacts) here's some better quality screen caps of all the games:

Really cool stuff. I especially like the shopping, the jumping gate, and the disappearing blocks.
Couple of ideas for future ones if you decide to take this further: Build a robot master (drag matching body parts onto a template to create a robot master) Practice begging for your life to be spared (swipe the stylus up an down to raise and lower your hands while groveling on your knees) OR Practice raising and lowering your eyebrows (open up your ship, then swipe the stylus up and down to move your eyebrows)

These games are hilarious and really well done, the little details and easter eggs are probably the best part. Sad-faced gas attendant was a highlight.
I wish more people had picked up Warioware DIY. At least other awesome unnoticed games from this year like Trauma Team and Patchwork Heroes have individual champions on GAF who try to spread the word. DIY is so under the radar that no one even bothered to discuss it anywhere. |

Great stuff!
I really need to get cracking with my game ideas in DIY. I had the Japanese version at launch but I couldn't understand how to do some of the more complicated stuff so I lost interest. I picked up the US version a few months ago but it got lost in the shuffle of my backlog and I forgot about it. D'oh! |
