'''The Mega Man Maker Challenge event''' is a series of public level creation contests held in ''[[Mega Man Maker]]''. These challenges usually had certain criteria for level design and were made to encourage creative usage of assets available within the game's editor. Several judges voted and gave written reviews on the entries, with the winning stage being the one that received the most votes. The winning creators from a challenge were usually offered a prize of some sort at the end of the challenge.

Flame Blast is [[Flame Man]]'s signature weapon, originating from ''[[Mega Man 6]]''. It is featured in ''[[Mega Man Maker]]'' as of version [[1.4.0]].


When shot, it drops a ball projectile in an arc that will erupt into a small pillar of flame when it touches solid terrain. This pillar lingers for half a second, and can affect objects directly above it as well. The initial ball projectile reaches two tiles out if fired on the ground, and it's affected by the low gravity induced by [[Water]], being able to travel farther. It will continue on its path if it defeats an enemy with 2 HP or less. Since it's a fire-based weapon, it can ignite [[Oil]], [[TNT Blocks]], and [[Hot Plates]], as well as melt [[Ice Walls]]. Up to three Flame Blasts can be onscreen at a time.
The challenge events were started by then beta tester [[dolphin]] who had already done contests in his Discord server, "Let Me Level With You". [[WreckingPrograms]] gave him permission to start the event on the [[Mega Man Maker Official Server]]. The then fellow beta tester [[Aze]] was a co-host for the events. However, due to sexual harassment and abuse of power allegations, dolphin was fired and Aze was the sole coordinator until V1ral joined.


==Trivia==
On July 21, 2019, WreckingPrograms alongside other developers and global moderators discontinued the challenge events for many reasons and encouraged the community to take part in fan challenges instead. As a result, the Challenge Coordinator roles on the forums and the Discord server were removed. Additionally, while the Discord server already had a channel for fan challenges (#fan_challenges), a new category was added to the forums for fan challenges.
*In ''Mega Man 6'', Flame Blast would rebound off of [[Count Bombs]] and enemy shields instead of being deflected, and its range was reduced when used underwater. Both of these traits are not present in ''Mega Man Maker'' due to differences in programming.

The challenge event was brought back on June 12, 2021 with [[NotQuiteHere]] being reinstated as a challenge coordinator and previous challenge members [[V1ral]] and [[Very Clean Guy]] being appointed assistant challenge coordinators. NotQuiteHere closed his unofficial Challenge Event server in favor of leading the official events. Turbo Time Trials has been different from other challenges in that the prize is getting the winning level included in the [[Example Levels]] and the contest is solely hosted in the Discord server.

Revision as of 23:17, 17 March 2022

The Mega Man Maker Challenge event is a series of public level creation contests held in Mega Man Maker. These challenges usually had certain criteria for level design and were made to encourage creative usage of assets available within the game's editor. Several judges voted and gave written reviews on the entries, with the winning stage being the one that received the most votes. The winning creators from a challenge were usually offered a prize of some sort at the end of the challenge.

The challenge events were started by then beta tester dolphin who had already done contests in his Discord server, "Let Me Level With You". WreckingPrograms gave him permission to start the event on the Mega Man Maker Official Server. The then fellow beta tester Aze was a co-host for the events. However, due to sexual harassment and abuse of power allegations, dolphin was fired and Aze was the sole coordinator until V1ral joined.

On July 21, 2019, WreckingPrograms alongside other developers and global moderators discontinued the challenge events for many reasons and encouraged the community to take part in fan challenges instead. As a result, the Challenge Coordinator roles on the forums and the Discord server were removed. Additionally, while the Discord server already had a channel for fan challenges (#fan_challenges), a new category was added to the forums for fan challenges.

The challenge event was brought back on June 12, 2021 with NotQuiteHere being reinstated as a challenge coordinator and previous challenge members V1ral and Very Clean Guy being appointed assistant challenge coordinators. NotQuiteHere closed his unofficial Challenge Event server in favor of leading the official events. Turbo Time Trials has been different from other challenges in that the prize is getting the winning level included in the Example Levels and the contest is solely hosted in the Discord server.
