Introducing my long-awaited, free-to-play browser game…
Here is my browser game’s trial product I spent roughly 1 1/2 years working on. Please note this trial product’s only available for the pc, and I plan to implement a mobile version for devices like phones and tablets. Also, notwithstanding the lack of game stages, I’m aware this website’s currently not completed. Currently I’m editing and updating it.
Naturally, there will be new stages, gameplay, characters, features, etc. implemented in the near future, so follow Megaman X: Nightmare for more exciting updates.
Any feedback and suggestions is welcome.
Hell, I might even work on new browser games too in the near future.

I’d like to credit the following freeware, parties and individuals for enabling and aiding me in developing this browser game Megaman X: Nightmare:
Freeware:
Blender – the fundamentals of producing 3D models and procedural light effects, obviously the backbone of my browser gameGIMP – rendering texture versions of Blender procedural/lighting effects which are not easily supported in Verge3d. A crucial supporting role in expressing procedural effects in my browser game
SoundSnap, Pixabay, and Sound Spriters Resources
– providing free sound effects for my browser gameParties:
Verge3d – publishing Blender, Maya and 3DS graphics, models, etc., onto web browsers while enabling user manipulation of those. Two particularly important features of Verge3d is cloning animations as separate new animations to assign to other objects, while optimizing processes to reduce cpu load thus increasing loading speed of scenes.All at a reasonable discount which is helpful for beginner startups like me
Shinjiru – an offshore web hosting provider that offers reasonable web hosting services especially in terms of storage and processing/loading speed at affordable prices (some say Shinjiru also hosts free speech content too)
Individuals:
Verge3d Staff:
Alexander Kovelenov
Yuri Kovelenov
Mikhail LuzyaninVerge3d forum users:
QiangGe and bigmike814
for attempting to solve my fullscreen user issues while QiangGe mentioned global window variable or listening for container events, which pointed me in the right directionPandern for helping me with HTML/CSS issues, while solving a fundamental problem with “window” objects’ variable values in puzzles.
xeon
helping me produce temporary flashing emission material. xeon also has useful tips regarding spritesheets.kdv in particular helped me in many many crucial areas, such as basic player movement, objects in lists either being removed or acting individually, flowing emission materials, and preventing unwanted color change in shape keys, while clarifying various important supporting topics.
Forgot to mention: kdv mentioning use of armature to animate a single object instead of animating multiple parts simultaneously was a huge game changer, too.
Yuri Kovelenov suggesting vertex colors to reduce load times and video memory also helped as well
and to anyone else I accidentally left out, thank you as well.
A big shout out to those of you for helping me during the development this browser game. Hope you guys can enjoy the fruits of our efforts and stay tuned for more exciting news and updates from Megaman X: Nightmare!

Thanks for the praise xeon. Here’s a game asset I will implement in the future

Really cool!
The game mechanics and animations work quite well. The movement was a bit fast in fullscreen mode on my UWQHD monitor, but fine in normal mode.
Looking forward to see next steps in the development.
If I may, I do have some suggestions for improvements:
You have a print to consol puzzle that triggers every frame it seems:
console.log(dictGet(EnemyUnit_JetGreen_Stats, EnemyUnits_JetGreen_BattleStats));You should disable that one.
The two background images t0.png and test.png is causing the loading time to be over 1,5 minutes on my 100Mbps line. 9600×5400 may be overkill for background image and PNG is a format that creates heavy files. Combined they are over 42 MB. I converted them to lossless webp and they are only 2,85 MB. See attachements below.

Also appreciate the feedback here. I disabled
console.log(dictGet(EnemyUnit_JetGreen_Stats, EnemyUnits_JetGreen_BattleStats));,and I’ll implement the test_copy.webp and t0_copy.webp background pics.
Thanks again for the praise and the feedback. I’ll optimize this app as best as I can for minimal loading time, minimal app file size and smoothest user experience possible.

it’s too fast on 60 Hz monitors at 60 fps in the fullscreen mode. looks like you tested your game only with your 144 Hz monitor
Puzzles and JS coding. Fast and expensive.
If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of the meaning at all.

Wait, how did you extract those background images as image links? AFAIK we can’t download blend files when they’re web hosted as apps.
Edit: how I did so was right clicking “inspect” on the iframe
Then reloading after clicking on “network”
Then I clicked on the desired image
