I cant remember if it was SRK or another gaming forum that I was a part of years ago, but we were uploading characters that we had for the guys that didnt have them because they were difficult to find or hosted on sites that were full of viruses and malicious software and someone tipped these guys off and they stormed the forums like big ass children crying to the moderators to lock the threads. Some bullshit rule they have called “warehousing” where its supposedly taboo to download these copywritten characters on websites other than the website that the host has it on.
Mugen sucks. It really it like smash, down to the community and their stupid ass rules and begging to be taken serious.
Yeah, the biggest problem with MUGEN is the community. You can have an unwieldy product, like the MUGEN program itself, but the MUGEN community is antagonistic and pathetically introverted (yes, like the Smash community). There are plenty of other game-making communities, and even ones that work within the framework of existing programs and most of them have died. The ones that survive are based upon actually sharing work and all those sorts of things.
ahahah you talking about archaic bullshit that was thankfully done away with years ago. just a reminder: the ‘community’ is really fragmented with a few major sites
And it would be really helpful if people wouldnt use mugen as some catchall term
documentation and support for fighter maker is insanely hard to find. maybe some guys can make a thread with info?
On a productive note in this thread…can anybody provide me with some links to whatever MUGEN sites still have people creating and the like? This thread really has inspired me and I wanna see what people have been coming up with lately.
I haven’t followed MUGEN in forever so I dunno if Guild or any of those sites even still exist…
The problem with that is odd, but present nonetheless: those with the time and initiative to make something from the ground up always pull a Boon and make some abortion only THEY think is good. Those who make good shit are always using pre-made characters.
Im not using MUGEN (Im making the engine from ground up) but I plan to reuse sprites at least until the engine is finished but I hope to get it at least to be played at ghetto tourneys
one thing im seeing is the request for an original fighter and i think after im done with my current projects im going in that direction. only thing tho since fighting games have been done to death trying to do something new will be an up hill battle in terms of gameplay cause almost all the ideas have been exhuasted.
I actually HAVE an idea for a game, even drawn up some character concepts and thought up some “somewhat original” game mechanics. BUT, I have no way of actually making the game. If I had to make it though, Id probably try that 2D fighter maker because Vanguard Princess really impresses me. So yeah if anyone needs a concept artist/art director for a game hit me up lol.
Dude, if you think MK is good, you just might be the one with the questionable taste. Turned to shit starting with 3, kinda came back a little with Ultimate, then went straight to shit and stayed there ever since. Gimmicks over gameplay.
