I see you're getting back on this project as well, what exactly is this game about? and also why is the word next in your games? it just gets me stumped when i see that word.

Plot is posted in the beginning of the thread. This game was meant to add new elements to the original engine (2 Player co-op), but sadly the keyboard buffer shot down those dreams, and with the wind from my sails deflated, MMNG got put on the back burner.
So a conversation at work gave me the idea to go the 3D route so this game still has a different gimmick than the standard formula. I intended to have a test build of the change up already, but Actionscript 3.0 is incredible ruthless in it's coding... I mean like really picky over stupid things. So all the concepts the Next engine currently uses has to be rewritten effectively.
The 'Next' title thing just sorta happened, wasn't particularly planned or anything. But since it wasn't used before I decided to just use that gimmick for my MM parody games.

So the word next is basically your engine program for the games right?

More or less. Kind of like a brand for the concepts I use to program for my platform games.
For the 6th character, think I'mma use a girl from Duo's world. Name'm Tria or Quadra, along the lines of Duo's name concept.
So for plotting purposes it'll be Mega, Proto, Bass, Terra, Hope, and (Tria/Quadra).
This engine will be relatively basic though compared to MMNR and probably less than 10 stages. But they'll be in 3D which requires a chunk of rendering, hence the need to get it into Actionscript 3 rather than 2. But AS3 is... very annoying lol.

** NOTE: YOU WILL NEED A PAIR OF RED/CYAN ANAGLYPH 3D GLASSES FOR THIS! It's also recommended to make it full screen as non-anaglyph things can twist your eyeballs into a knot while wearing the glasses.** After regaining a sense of direction for this lil project after being defeated by the evil keyboard buffer for a 2 player game, Buddies gave me the idea to make it 3D instead. So this is the first shot at using a updated Next engine with 3D worked into it. Even though it'll be a good ways off before I actually aim to finish this (Gotta do MMNR first), I felt like tossing this out there for a looksy. maelstormm.deviantart.com/#/d4ydi5b
