About This File
One last little share before I go back to my nostalgic bedroom.
Mega Man X8 16-bit is a fan project that took around two and a half years of work, and honestly, I think it deserves a little spotlight.
It’s a full 16-bit reimagining of Mega Man X8, inspired by the feeling of the first three Mega Man X games on SNES. The project is now playable from start to finish with X, which is already a pretty amazing achievement for a fan-made game.
So I made a small visual tribute for it:
a custom round icon, a 16-bit-style ClearLogo, and an HD ClearLogo.
The two logos were AI-assisted, with some prompting and visual direction to get that broken, deconstructed, battle-damaged look. So no, it didn’t just magically come out of the hat. There was a bit of work and art direction behind it.
The icon is homemade, mostly based on manual cutout and compositing work, in the style I usually use for my collections: characters breaking out of the frame, with that little 3D “coming toward you” effect.
I just wanted to give this fan project a bit more visibility, because when someone spends that much time creating something out of passion, it deserves some love.
Enjoy.
