I agree that was very mean-spirited, besides, you can't expect fan game makers to keep up with all the various ports and their changes - and it also falls into that pitfall of assuming people don't have lives and obligations outside of their internet-known passion projects.

Way-too-late of a response, but we're not "lazy", actually we "fixed" the sprites since BEFORE that last comment here was even posted, the only thing that needs updating is this rip.

Also games are made of a ton of different parts, a TON of work has to be put in to a game. For MM8BDM, I know the team had mainly just two main spriters officially on the team for some of the prior versions, one of them being myself (with other folks making contributions from time to time), not to mention all the other different things people had to do to make each major update happen. Sure there's some ancient spritework that sometimes needs updating, we'll get to it eventually, we just have a large workload of new things we need to make too that take precedence in every major update.

Maybe think again before you start calling other people lazy, eh?

Thankfully now that we have MegaMan 4 Mobile for reference, it now has official outlines for this boss. Too bad the 8bdm dev team is too lazy to fix the sprites though.

As a matter of fact, they took an old MM4 rip with bad fake outlines (and bad palette). Mega Man Knowledge Base uses it as well. Anyways, since I'm here, here's the ~2013 outlining I did:

@Tailikku She's right though; it had no outlines in Mega Man 4 since you fought it on a black background, and it is clearly shown to have Frankenstein bolts in the official artwork. The 8BDM team interpreted the design wrongly.

@Doc von Schmeltwick It's best to not complain about how the 8BDM team did the Met Daddy's graphics, since THAT'S HOW THEY LOOK in the game

Those lazy unofficial outlines on the Metall Daddy are just painful-looking @_@
As the art shows, it's supposed to have Karloff Frankenstein electrodes, not holes in its head. I made a better-outlined one years ago.

I'd link a picture, but I don't know how to do that.

don't talk to me or my son ever again
