how did you go about writting megaman sprite comic game/franken?

spoilers for both megaman sprite game and FRANKEN ahead!!

in both cases i started with an idea for the ending (FRANKEN was created because i was walking around my house and started laughing thinking about the idea of an RPG where the final boss was frankenstein's monster) and then i kind of just make up everything else as i go along, which allows me to be fairly spontaneous but also still have a decent sense of direction as to where I want it all to end up. I needed a monster to fight in the cave, so i made up Blood Man, and then had his dialogue foreshadow frankenstein! I also came up with Eclypson as a kind of awesome rpg final boss who would have a reason to make a frankenstein.

megaman sprite game was the same! i had 3 ideas at the very start of the game: "the plot should be about megaman fighting ghosts", "the final dungeon should be in a wacky warehouse", and "the antagonist should have silhouette of dr. wily's head" being a fun reveal. megaman sprite game is intentionally very unfocused and kind of just went wherever I was feeling. i already had the ghost say some stupid dialogue about wanting to deliver a package at the start of the game so i came back to that later to make the weird recursive time loop plot point, it was never intended to be a set up for anything at first!

with this approach, i generally just try to keep a good grasp on all the story pieces i've introduced and utilize them in whatever ways will amuse myself.

Are any charactera from megaman sprite comic trans or are all of them

i actually wanted to include a line in megaman sprite game where megaman was going to say he is a trans man but i couldn’t find a good way to make it fit into the story and i wasn’t sure if it’d be a good idea at the time
