- ―SnoruntPyro on the contest
Make a Good Mega Man Level, also known as MaGMML and MaGMML1, is the first in a downward spiral of a community, taking place from 2015-2016. The premise, inspired by the Make a Good Level contests from Talkhaus, an unholy release. Just filled with losers, was to """"try"""" and build the best level in a Mega Man engine that the contestants could (hah), with this being accomplished with a modified Blyka's Engine, put together in Game Maker 8.0 Pro. Being the first in the series, there were quite a few quirks, such as a very badly put together rubric taken directly from MaGLX2, and the game being in Blyka's Engine rather than the Mega Engine. Also, unlike its successors, the devkit was request-only out of paranoia that the MaGMML1 engine would become the basis for a ton of crappy, low effort fangames that just used all the assets it had and nothing else. Needless to say, this was unfounded. The contest had 20 entries overall, split into 5 tiers of 4 levels each, with 6 Wily stages by the judges and 4 Tier Bosses. The contest was judged by SnoruntPyro, Cheez8, Duvi0, Mick Galbani and MrKyurem.
A remake of the game has been mentioned in the MaGMML3 Discord server, but it has not been officially announced or shown.

Story
Mega man, after killing Dr. Wily, digs up the corspe of the winner of the very first Power Glove, finds his trophy. Shit gets crazy from there. Somehow, Thomas FUCKING KILLS MEGA MAN. Don't even ask how. Sonic then uses the Phantom Ruby to revert all of this. None of that was canon because Time Travel.
Gameplay
Gameplay is essentially the same as a typical NES classic Mega Man game. That is, a classic mega man game built in Game Maker. And you know what they say, anything in Game Maker is trash. Anything. This is fact. There are only 9 good levels throughout the game, and seeing how supposedly there is 26, that is pretty fucking sad, so essentially you got a game that is about as good as Mega Man 2's dead horse's uncle, Mecha Bubble Man. What I'm trying to say is that it is pretty good, I guess.

Aside from Glass Man, there are 3 other entry bosses. They sort of are robot masters, but probably aren't I guess? I dunno. I mean like, Gravity Man sort of counts, right? Just because he is in a machine doesn't make him a Robot Master!

Trivia
- Unlike its successors, the weapon poll did not seperate the weapons into categories, creating significant overlap in the arsenal. The weapon poll was also ran on Talkhaus before the contest was even put on Sprites Inc..
- This is the only good MaGMML.
