Initial Concepts 2 (BNX)
I wrote way more for this than I thought I did, so I'll condense it from my blog. Nah.
Scattered Notes
Who was initially missing?
Power up characters
Some scattered from other games (Crash man is notable. I should make him look different from other few game iterations.)
Fighting at least 8 bosses per Saga: The rebellion, then King’s rebellion (Quint becomes a fugitive and command mission characters show up), then the stardroids. So its at least… 24 boss scenarios. For just lanette.
The Progs deal with the under net nonsense (why doesn’t bass show up)… gold prog is his friend.
I could literally just start writing prog rock’s introduction here right now. Prog Rock, or sometimes called Battle Network X, hopes to be some sort of pseudo sequel to battle network’s ideas while also simultaneously carrying ideas from other mega man series. For starters, my main goal is making up a bunch of scenarios for the missing netnavi’s from battle network.
Cameo appearances from actual canon battle network characters but for the most part a heavily OC centric story.
neppy got away with everything. (I do not recall who Neppy was from the original concepts.)
Okay so the main plot is the robot people are rebelling because they’re worried they’re going to be replaced by newer models and thrown out or forced into obsoleteness
The secondary plot is that aliens are trying to destroy the planet in order to resurrect their god and have also infiltrated the rebellion
The tertiary plots are that some dude is trying to get a girlfriend and stumbles onto the other plots while simultaneously some people that have already lost their jobs are fighting against the rebellion.
all these plots are obliterated by an elementary schooler
Discord DMs with a friend on some parts here.
I was daydreaming again and thinking “how did that plot go” and it went from “some minor character gets fired from their job” and extends to “the main character fistfights the sun”
Because I was remembering the minor plot where some guy’s son discovers that one of his father’s friends escaped from magic cyber jail and was now behind the major hidden villains (who are aliens) managing to invade the earth and was also simultaneously helping cause the worker crisis solely so he could meet the father again and he managed to get away with everything because he escaped through a clone. I realize this probably sounds insane but I needed some way to have all these plots be connected together and I ended up pinning all the plots onto one joke character (Sheepman.)
Tatsumi: being a cyber agent sucks, I just want to go out on dates with my girlfriend!
Melody: sucks for you.
Explaining it briefly to my friend on discord:
Anyways, Battle Network. Weapons of war. In the hands of 11yo’s
the thing is unless you’re either megaman, protoman, colonel, or bass you’re pretty much a jobber in the exe verse no matter what medium you’re in (Serenade wasn't counted in this)
it’s just that, the potential to be a massive internet cyber threat is right there because firewalls are like. really easy to hack into if you have a personal AI you can give cyber weapons to
I haven’t even mentioned the part where battle network takes a hard swerve into kingdom hearts territory where you can potentially corrupt your AI with the power of Darkness
I kinda want there to be a 7 just so they can add more X characters and see what other weird additions to the internet lore they can add but 6 actually gave the series a conclusion so it’s probably not happening.
a netnavi rebellion when they consider that they’ll eventually be rendered obsolete and replaced a la megaman 10 + eventual garbage dump in starforce
Boss List
Probably the only one that will ever be labeled as this.
Note that boss list is different from scenarios as the two were developed at different times. This could be referencing stuff from far different years compared to the scenarios. X bosses were chosen based on themes and how much they could fit to battle network (I’m lying, I just picked the ones that looked neat.)

Scattered Notes
- I like how looking thorough my 2 year old notes let’s me know that yes, Annette is a new edition and Lan was primarily the main character.
- Here’s the most recent thing I worked on with Prog Rock which was labeled as 10/2/2023… the original files I found on my hard drive were 2021, but they could’ve been older.
- Progs in the under net trying to get jobs, Sigma’s netnavi rebellion, school girl drama leads to aliens, the investigation into cybercrimes…
- That’s like 4 protagonists…?
- Progs, protagonists who is an OC, Tatsumi, Gil and Rose.
- In the distant future 20XX… people call her Lanette or Net, she has Quint of all characters….
- Middle school Netto shows up to help fight the stardroids but for the most part its all OCs minus Kalinka and blends in a bunch of mega man characters minus star force.
