Mega Man Overdrive is an expansive and ambitious fan game project which has been evolving for a few years now. We aim to mix best bits of classic 8-bit Mega Man with modern design principles and enhancements, along with a few twists of our own. For example, Mega Man Overdrive is the first Classic platforming, Mega Man fan-game designed for widescreen and makes liberal use of parallax, rotation and particle effects throughout it's many stages. Alongside this, Mega Man Overdrive features both a VRC6 soundtrack and arranged OST which can be toggled between.

The biggest gameplay twist is the Overdrive system. This allows you to enhance Mega Man with powerful chips which become active when enough Overdrive energy has been collected from defeated enemies. These chips could enhance special weapons, reduce damage, or unlock new abilities for Mega Man entirely! Be warned however, Overdrive energy is incredibly unstable and taking damage will quickly drain your overdrive tank. Luckily enemies drop plenty of crystallised energy when defeated!

Help wanted!
We are looking for talented sprite artists, Tile artists, background artists and concept artists who can work within the classic Mega Man style. If you are interested in joining our highly collaborative team then please shoot me a message on the forum or on Twitter.

We are aiming to produce a demo for the Chao Games Showcase this November however we have no problem delaying it if we need more time.
