Let us know if you do. I would soooooo love to make the program but even if I did know how to code it would still be incredibly hard. It should be some sort of launcher and not just an app. Kinda like the way Facebook Home works: it doesn't take away important features but it customizes the whole experience in order to do its job. That how I imagine this. You get a call and, instead of ringing, your phone vibrates intensely and when you get it out of your pocket your Navi says something along the lines of "X is calling you. Wanna pick it up?". Of course Navis would speak differently depending on who you are (age, job, personality etc). When somebody sends you an email, your Navi would say "You got an email from X. Want me to read it?".

On to the interface, I think most of it shouldn't be easy to customize. Everyone should start off with a default gray humanoid Navi and from that point on, if somebody wants a custom Navi they should program it themselves so that they can make it look exactly the way they want it to look. There shouldn't be a Navi customization feature where users can pick a set of eyes, ahead shape, a helmet etc because that would make it too childish. The maker of the program should offer advice on how to create a custom Navi an should make that possible to do but that's about it. Remember how in the game not many people had custom Navis?

If you ever need alpha/beta testers you know who to ask ;)

Good idea!
[General Questions and Answers] bi11ie:
Thanks :) Anything you've thought of?
[General Questions and Answers] Br00talBean:
Yo I honestly think this is a good idea. Ive been DYING for an app like this to come out. You could combine something like iOS Siri and a Launcher/Theme app with a netnavi sort of mini game rpg type thing close to the gba game. You could customize the everything about the netnavi and level up find new weapons battle other people and all kinds of things as it progresses. It could make a whole lot of money too it could end up as its own Operating System like in the game. A real artificially intelligent app/OS game or whatever you could take it in a whole lot of places really. Someone needs to work on this idea.
[General Questions and Answers] bi11ie:
Well, if I were to make a NetNavi program it wouldn't be a game. It would be a useful AI virtual assistant that would sort of combine Siri with Google Now. Like, it could intelligently predict what you wanna know and would know if you are interested in something specific during that time (like, say, an upcoming video game release) and it would help you with your life so that you don't have to open a billion different apps in order to do a single thing. One app (or rather, one OS) would be able to do everything and people would be able to download add-ons but not apps. The experience would have to be uniformed and everything should be accessible by the Navi so that it can do its job.

Of course, it could still have a gaming aspect. In the GBA games and in the anime NetNavis are personal assistants/anti-virus programs first and online gaming avatars (NetBattlers) second. So that would be nice. People who are only interested in a personal assistant could use the Navi that way while people who are into gaming could also train them to battle.
[General Questions and Answers] Br00talBean:
That sounds perfect lol i mean i honestly think it can be done and would love for thos to happen. Someone could even make a custom ROM or something or Launcher for now til it gets out there and does good cause all that coding and programs to make this would be expensive in the beginning. Someone could create an add on to a rom already til it gets popular or anything really lol i jus wanna see it done i been waiting since i was a kid and i know its possible now.

Hahah I've been waiting for it since I was 6 xD (I'm 15 now)

Now that I've finished all the 6 MMBN GBA games I want a NetNavi / PET more than ever. And since nobody is making one -even though it seems so obvious and the resources are here for the most part- I'd be happy to be the one who creates it IF I had a team of scientists, engineers and programmers to help me. But I don't. And I don't know how to code. But if I ever learn how to, I promise I'm gonna do everything I can to make this a reality for everyone.
[General Questions and Answers] Br00talBean:
Bro im boutta be 21 and i have been waiting for it to happen since battle network came out period lol youre right all the resources are here. I mean if i knew how to code i would definately try to do this but unfortunately i dont -_- id gladly test it no problem at all though! Hahaha SOMEONE MAKE THIS HAPPEN

The resources are ~mostly~ here. What about the killer AI? I don't think we could make such smart bots... Maybe in a couple of decades and with enough dedication.... Actually, we might be pretty close; take a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Tqt2TurCnI (you're gonna love it). Gotta get more info on this thing. Also, take a look at this amazing concept: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8iGWzG5wyU .

I think I'm gonna work on some "prototypes" (sketches and stuff) during the summertime once the finals are over. It would be fun. And who knows. I'm interested in programming so I might learn how to code and make a working PET prototype one day :silly:
[General Questions and Answers] Br00talBean:
Yo all the artificial intelligence stuff is sooo dope i love it. I cqnt wait until everything is like that. Its gonna happen sooner than we think lol someone really needs to work on this asap like i said it would make stuff more interesting and fun and just easy.

This is exactly what I was hoping for when I posted this a while back. I'm glad its been seen and talked about. I personally don't have the time or skills to do it but I have the ideas and concepts of how it should work and how it should look. If you are able to take it and run that would be really awesome. Like I said before, I'm just glad I'm not the only one who thinks its a good idea!
[General Questions and Answers] sodapopgrease:
Hey guys, hope this is still an open topic because I've been planning on starting a project to create an AI suitable for an app like this, then continue to work on it until it becomes a general AI. (or "super AI" capable of emotion, perception, interaction, education etc. like how human are to an extent) I've been a fan of Megaman for a while but took most interest in MMBN series because of the net navis and what they could be capable of. Toonwar, do you mind discussing to me your game plan lay out for this? you, or anyone else here really can just E-mail me at "diaz.nathan11@yahoo.com" in case Im not online at the moment or something. look forward to the dawn of navis and maybe a team that could help!
[General Questions and Answers] xnoctis93:
Hey guys:

Just wanted to say I'm passion too about AI...and love net navi's and megaman in general. I think it would be pretty cool if we could put together a team...even if not everyone can program well...we can all put our minds together and start getting the ball rolling right? Looking forward to this..
[General Questions and Answers] sodapopgrease:
I like the way you think! Is there any skill you might have to help contribute to this project?
[General Questions and Answers] xnoctis93:
I also usually focus on front-end development (web design)...but i've studied Java Programming for a few years, so i'm quite familar with java...and I don't think learning the Android SDK would be a massive difficulty...
[General Questions and Answers] sodapopgrease:
So you're best at making websites? The way I always envisioned the "jacking-in" and net navi battles would be a website based for navis to battle or meet up (because of course the internet doesnt look like it does in the show, and if navis could discard viruses there wouldnt be a fun battle that comes with it) so I think your skills would become really helpful later on in this! At the moment I'm actually learning the adroid SDK and java coding so that I can know the basics for starting an app for the AI's. It seems like youd be willing to help out in this? It'd be sweet if we could start a team!
[General Questions and Answers] xnoctis93:
Yeah i'm definitely willing to help out. My schedule is pretty busy thesedays with University classes and such...but I think we might be on to something. I'll pm you my email and we can talk more there. And i'm also learning about the Android SDK too more closely thesedays.

Oh my god, guys I love it!! *O* It's very basic of course and needs tons of work on the UI BUT it's a start! =D I would be absolutely thrilled to help you with this project but I don't know if I would be very useful. I don't know how to code or design websites or anything (I AM willing to learn though) but I do know how to sketch and I'm very interested in UI design. I also love the whole MMBN series and know pretty much everything about it so maybe I can help. I'll be contacting you soon :)

[General Questions and Answers] tenchee321:
M.E.G.A man prgm info

Hello guys, my name is tenchee321, a young artist (19) on youtube and big megaman fan, so if we are trying to make this program, we have to have program after program after program. What do I mean by that?

Programs updates:

*A normal looking Net navigator(net navi) a AI program that doesnt look like megaman

1) the reason why, because if were going to put a program together like this one, we want to give people who have a program like this to customize their own navis to look like what they want it to look like.

2)if we were to make a battle program, instead of having ACTUAL battle chips, we can do digital chip and people can trade and we can update Dchips every chance we get.

*B)Our AI program has to be programed to be just enough to be somewhat intelegent, and we'll work on building him/her intelligence higher and higher, by commonly basing the internet(people's common comments, post, online dictionary, ect)

common guy we're human, we can make things impossible, possible. we just have to break it down to figure it out.

:cool: and if it can work do you know this'll be the biggest program ever?

Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, YES! That would be the greatest thing that happened to me since my first time playing the megaman games for the GBA! Having an app like that would be amazing. I would get it in a heartbeat if it were to really happen. For years i have dreamed up my own ideas for a netnavi, and only dreamed of it really happening. I'm not much of a programmer, but i have drawn my own ideas for a netnavis for a s long as i can remember. I hope that someone, anyone, decides to go through with the idea, and i support them 500% with it. I'll be waiting, and if you ever need help with visual designs i'd be glad to help!

I'm Join to the project!

Hello guys,

I'm new in this forum, because I just create this account to know more about this idea. I'm totally in the Idea, I want to join to the project, I'm a graphic designer student and young artist. I'm a fan of megaman since I was a kid, and just like all of you, I've been always waiting to see the netnavis coming to real world. But I'm tired of waiting, and I don't want to be too old for when that day happen. So I want to be part of the people who bring netnavis to real life, or at least to android apps. So count me in! I'll be playing again the MMBN games just to take cover all the netnavi information, and for the good times. Feel free to contact me.
[General Questions and Answers] FutureNetNaviDeveloper:
Hey all! I know I'm a little late to the party, but I'm currently in the process of developing a Net Navi app. The interface of the app runs in the background of the mobile device while the Net Navi itself stays on your home screen, hanging out and whatever. The voice of the Navi is customizable, as well as a list of speech patterns that will give the Navi a little personality. The Navi will be customizable with a list of presets, but anyone who wants to will be able to develope their own NetNavi equipment. Currently the app will strictly be for a personal assistant, but soon after the app is released I will be working on a new feature which will be the PvP portion of the Net Navi App. You will be able to name the Navi and it will respond to whatever name you give him/her, as well as telling him/her what to call you. The Navi will be able to open/close apps and speak to let you know about a notification, and will accept a response even when the device is locked. Hopefully i can develope an update in the future to make the Navi's self aware.

I can't do more then cheer for you guys, i did not know that there is still so many fans of MegaMan.exe series and of course i'm one of them, even if i am 23 years old i still want this to happen, so we could create, play, organize, NetBattle and meet up online with our PET Navi's, maybe in future befriend with them, all of you guys here fired up my spirit, i'm very glad that so many years after release of first MMBN there are people who want to make it real, i'm hoping the best for this project and that all of we could meet up online, after moving to italy i will try and somehow fund this project for all of our dreams of having NetNavis can come true.

[General Questions and Answers] FutureNetNaviDeveloper:
I am. I gathered a team of teens at my high school who have experience using CAD programs, Java, and HTML. I myself am experienced in Android SDK. If all goes well, this should be a dream come true for all Megaman BN fans, and for people who need a Personal Assistant. DAICA (Digital Artificial Intelligence Companion App) will be for everyone, not just fans of the show/games. My aim is to one day create an update for this app allowing the Navi free thinking, but meanwhile still completely obedient. If anyone wants in on this team, reply to this post. I will be looking for Beta Testers as well.
[General Questions and Answers] bi11ie:
I wish you guys luck! Unfortunately I cannot help you as I don't know how to code. This question is a bit off topic but I'd like your opinion on this: which programming language do you recommend I learn? I have very very very little experience with programming but I'm a fast learner and good with computers. Which language is the most basic? Which one is the standard? Is it HTML? I think so but I'm not sure.
[General Questions and Answers] FutureNetNaviDeveloper:
I'd recommend Java because it's more universal (In my opinion) and from what I can gather is the standard for gaming and what-not. HTML is good as well, but standard for website production. I prefer Java, but if you have the time I'd recommend learning them both.
[General Questions and Answers] RadzPrower:
What you need is a "browser" that converts web pages into 3D environments. It would allow for that sort of cyberspace feel when your navi is browsing the net. Ultimately it could also be used as a place to battle as well.

It would be really neat if you could do the same with the Android filesystem and integrate an antivirus as well so that viruses showed up as 3D enemies as well...but that's just nostalgia talking.

Google already has an experiment that sort of does that...needs to do more than just create a 3D version of the webpage though. It needs to interpret things entirely different, but consistent.

Very well said

We are the same in the sense that Megaman also got me very interested in technology and influenced my choice in studies today.

I remember when I was watching NT warrior around 10 years ago. The concept of having such a high tech and connected world with sentient A.I companions made me want Net Navi's to be real so bad, but I "knew" that it would be impossible and that it was just sci-fi.

But like you said, seeing how fast technology is evolving, especially in the Artificial Intelligence field, it is only a matter of time until the society in megaman will become a reality.

[General Questions and Answers] n8baywey:
Please re-read. Several modifications to concept have taken place, including name. Also, several clarifications on ideas.

My company is not currently working on this. This is my concept at this point, and we are seeking investors in order to achieve the $70 million necessary to complete the project. After all, it's not just the development at stake. We have to contract or partner with Nuance for voice recognition and synthesis, as well as partnering with the USDoE and every university we can to integrate the educational components into current curricula.

SO, if anyone can get me into contact with an investor that can provide this type of funding, I will add you to our project and give you a 5% share of profits. That's roughly $10 million annually from only one of the many revenue streams!

[General Questions and Answers] bi11ie:
This is an excellent concept! You seem to have everything figured out. You mentioned that you work for a company but didn't mention which one. May we have the name and/or a link to your company's website?

Also, let me add my thoughts on this. While the MegaMan fan in me is absolutely delighted at the thought of real life Net Battles, I don't think that that's what I'd actually want from an app like that. I mean, in the MMBN world the whole web is actually a 3D cyber space and there's no other way of navigating it. Anti-virus software (like Navis) works in that way too. There is no way for a program that's just code and doesn't take up any cyberspace to delete a virus as viruses are 3D cyber entities as well. I believe that the Net turned into cyberspace and computer programs into 3D avatars so that the world wide web would be more accessible for everyone, including kids, old people and non-tech savvy individuals. "Our" net unfortunately doesn't work like that and changing it would require the agreement of everyone in the world. Because of that, the whole "net battling" aspect of the app seems like a gimmick or a game to me. It would make the app more of a MMORPG than a personal assistant; not that it can't be both, but I feel that people wouldn't take it as seriously then and the craze would slowly die out among gamers.

Although maybe you actually envisioned this a game more than something functional that would change the way people interact with technology forever. I don't have a problem with that, it's just not what I dreamed about.

For more info on how I envision this please read my next post.
