Mega Man X8 Demake - "Restoration Team" Mod

[stone timber]

ENG

THIS WAS EDITED IN KINEMASTER!

This is a concept/idea of what we are planning for the "Restoration Team" mod, adding SNES-style music composed by "Streg" as well as other composers. It will be optional; if you still want to listen to the original soundtrack, you'll still be able to listen it.

I've chosed Man-o-War's Theme for this because it's one of my favorite musics of X8, and Streg did a good cooking on it 😋

Thanks for @stregGT for making this awesome SNES style versions of X8 Soundtrack, keep flying highter ma boi!😁👊

This is awesome, I was always iffy of the idea it was using the original OST for various reasons.

That's great that you're finding it interesting. There will be more things we want to work on, review, and create in the mod to refine it and make it better for everyone in terms of experience and enjoyment.

How far you're taking it aside from the new OST?

New Characters
(Zero and Axl, Although everyone probably already knows this, it's not that big of a surprise lol)
New Tag Team System
(Rhelms already did, but we're planning to revised it and fix some bugs)
Restored Translations
(Because the original creator of the mod was a "Very not good person" [I'm saying this because I'll not Swear here to avoid problems]. and removed the other languagues. Portuguese, Spanish and HueBR are getting back and with also new dialogues for new characters)
New Japanese Translation
(AmeNiki wanted to work on a Japanese Translation of X8 Demake, so I've call him to join and helped him on some things while translating, everything is 100% translated, we just need to work on the fonts and characters)
Balancing
(We might not do the perfect balance for sure, but we'll try to make a interesting one definitely, feedbacks will be welcome)
Restore some stuffs
There's some missing animations and weapons that are in the mod's file but not in-game, such as Zero's idle animations, talking, and even the Sigma Blade

Apologies for the late reply but this is all I have in mind what we're going after for the mod

[solar zodiac]

Sounds awesome!

[stone timber]

oh, I forgot something

Light Capsules interactions
(In Original X8, only X was able to get the Armor Capsules, Zero and Axl cannot get those. But we'll make it possible on the demake alongside with new dialogues as well, So yes, Team Axl and Zero will have more chances to shine in the game : D)

I typed this up earlier, but deleted..but this was on my mind. This is probably beyond your goals obviously, so maybe another modder out there will tackle it. I know Axl's fate has been on pause for many years by capcom, but it kind of feels like its up to fans to fill in the gap. Think making a extra post-game chapter involving him be worth it?

This never crossed my mind before, because when defeating Lumine in the mod, the scene is replicated in the same way as the Original X8, Lumine hitting him and leaving him unconscious

although in the old versions before Zero was a thing in the mod, Axl destroyed Lumine and returned to base alive alone

nothing too different since it was also the same plot as X in Vanilla
