[PC] Doujin Game Master List

I would also like a link to the VP game, as well as a link to download Super Cosplay War Ultra (the available link doesn't work).

This is a nice list, as I'm always a sucker for fan-made (and free) games. Sure, there's a ton of crap out there, but when it works, it works good. Case in point, Super Demo World.

It's a real challenge, but it's also real good fun. The stuff they've thought up in these levels is utterly insane, but you feel all the more superior if you manage to pull it off.

I'd like to see more US-made fangames, if they're quality enough to warrant a link. I'd like to see more Megaman-themed games. I also remember an EGM article that had a list of fan-made games like Halo 2D, Metroid Prime 2D, and original Zelda levels that were ripped from games like Super Metroid.

Also, which of the previously listed games require a graphics card of any kind?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh yeah, another question. Do any of these games support using a gamepad? I wouldn't want to try any of the fighting games unless I can use my PS2 controller hooked up through the USB adaptor.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That's quite a bit of hype in the Cave Story page. I downloaded the express version (which reportedly has the game already translated in english, so that should save me some fuss), which I'll try later.

I'd like to see more doujin games that take existing characters out of their environment and put them in a whole other game. That Mario-in-Castlevania game looks intriguing, but I'd like to see others like it. How about a game where Mega Man X takes on the Robot Masters from the original MM series (or heck, vice versa)?

In any case, I remember playing a DBZ doujin game in my college's game room a few years back. I believe it was called Mugen Z or something, and it was done with the Mugen program (which I could never figure out on my own) and used the Marvel vs Capcom engine for the gameplay. The result was a very flashy DBZ version of MvC, but it was also very unbalanced, due to some original characters (Super Saiyan 4 Broli, namely) that made things absolutely ridiculous, even by DBZ standards.

Still, it was a fun game, and I would love it if there were more Doujin games using the MvC style of play.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

That link you provided didn't have Super Cosplay Ultra (or I couldn't find it), but I did manage to find that DBZ game I mentioned before.

It's fanfiction-tastic, even with the poor grammer (and now I know, it was German made). The link says you can play it without installing it, so I'm downloading it now.

And here's something even more absurdely hilarious: Street Fighter vs DBZ.

http://www.caiman.us/scripts/fw/f1590.html

This is the kind of doujin games I want to see; a mish-mash of two or more existing games rolled into one, with insane results (heh, giant Ken). Unfortunately, they say it won't work for Windows XP, only older systems like Win98. If someone ever finds a working version for XP, by all means link it.

And another intriguing game, a Mega Man fighter.

Double Post:
I haven't been able to get the DBZ game running (something to do with lowering my screen to a resolution it doesn't support), but since I hit the subject of MUGEN, I did a little searching via Youtube.

Goddam, we can't have a doujin thread and not talk about this thing. It's utterly insane what you're able to do with Mugen, as these ridiculous/awesome/ridiculously awesome videos prove.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Q6xjtsqen5Q&search=mugen (anyone know what song that is? just the title alone doesn't help).

http://youtube.com/watch?v=byPneFm2B...=mugen%20homer (who the hell is he fighting?)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZvUnfQecV...d&search=mugen

I still can't stop laughing over some of these. Anything that lets you create battles as impossibly ludicrious like Broli vs Duck Dodgers is full of win and love (and crack).

So I found a Windows hack of MUGEN that was bare bones, but was working for me.

http://unofficial-winmugen.jpn.org/

Of course now I have several questions. How do I set it to fullscreen, if that's possible? How do I add songs played during the matches (the readme wasn't very specific), how do I edit the existing characters (I'd like to remove or alter the spanish text that accompanies the DBZ characters), and where can I download more characters, stages, and sounds?

It's almost enough to warrant another thread, but I think we can squeeze it in here.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

MUGEN is certainly playable (if you can go through the hoops to get it that is), and it isn't necessary for you to do the customization yourself. Downloading the characters, stages, and themes is up to you, but if you can get it going, you can have the mother of all fighting games at your disposal, with an endless amount of characters to choose from (most people have over 500!).

I've figured out how to add characters and stages, but I still haven't figured out how to set the program to full screen, or how to add mp3s to the levels of my choice. Anyone know any MUGEN forums or something?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxW4x...h=mugen%20boom

And I'm still wondering where the song in the first video is from. Or who the Samara knockoff with the horror moves is supposed to be.

Also, that Valkyrie Fight Tag was fantastic, the kind of doujin game I'd like to see. Anymore like it? I'm surprised no one's tried to do an all-star FF fighter using the same method. Should be a cinch (at least for all the sprite based games).

Spoiler:

And was the final boss supposed to be Silmeria?

I was speaking idiomatically.

I so want Mugen now, but when I went to that site it said it was a patch.

The patch is the application. It just means that the program itself was patched, so you can add an infinite amount of characters, stages, and other stuff.

MUGEN is an utterly fascinating program if you're a fan of 2D fighting. There is absolutely no limit to how many fighters you can toss in, and the mixed results are almost always guaranteed to entertain. It's also amazing what kind of custom characters people come up with (although this causes some serious imbalance; turning the giant metroid from Super Metroid into a fighting character looks seriously cool, but that thing will beat the living crap out of you no matter what you use).













The problem though is that MUGEN is also very time consuming. You have to manually set every single thing, from characters, to stages, to what music plays in what stage, and so on.



As you can see here, I need to work on setting the characters correctly, as their portraits aren't appearing where they need to. I have other similar problems, such as the character select music not playing. The MUGEN forums should help with most of these problems, but it's going to take a while before I can make my MUGEN look as presentable as people who have been using it forever.

It's also going to take a long while to collect all the characters and stages people made up.

Oh, and I downloaded that Super Cosplay link you provided, but when I open the file it says I need a password or an installing key. Do you have either?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Those are indeed my own screencaps, taken from fraps. Mario 64 can do some serious punishment, but Evil Dan is the absolute favorite so far.

Everything Vs. Everything (EVE Battle) seems to be harder to come by now :s

Not anymore.

http://rapidshare.de/files/26550010/EVE.rar.html

And here's the MUGEN application in case that site from before didn't work (install this first).

http://rapidshare.de/files/26551866/...patch.zip.html

I really think maybe I should make a seperate thread about MUGEN. It would be useful to help collect all those rare characters and stages, and help with any problems I still have.

FELIPE NO

This is precisely why a MUGEN thread is a good idea. The good thing is that GFF doesn't shy away from legal restrictions when it comes to sharing stuff, so that gives the thread two advantages; helping people with configuring the program and solving any problems, and for requesting (and providing) characters and stages. I'm likely going to start one up by today.

I've managed to put together a decent enough program with a few stages and characters, and I haven't stopped laughing at the results. The custom moves people have come up with are hilarious. I still have some problems though. The biggest is figuring out how to remove this insanely annoying choir that plays every time the Round signs pop up. Finding a way to change up the characters, such as their AI or damage levels would be nice too. Most of the custom characters are ridiculously overpowered, especially the Metroid. No matter how hard you try, the damn thing will own you fast (it even starts attacking you before the round starts!). The simplest solution would be to remove characters like that and keep the balanced ones in, but that loses some of the appeal.

One character I easily recommend is the Alien Queen (taken from Alien vs Predator). It's a tough fight, but not nearly as tough as the Metroid, and the Queen even comes with a cool minigame where you have to take out a specific amount of Alien enemies (Evil Ryu's hurricane kick+Alien enemies=hilarity).

And some stages simply don't install properly, even though I follow the same rules as the other stages. I'm not sure if I have to change something in the .def file, or they were simply unfinished.

And in regards to a torrent pack full of characters, I found one here...

http://www.mininova.org/tor/274128

but it's over 1GB. I don't really have the patience to download it all. I have, however, found a couple of sites that had a healthy assortment of regular fighters (SF Alpha, Guilty Gear, KOF, etc). Just google "mugen characters" and you'll find it.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Well, here's one site that I can confirm works (for the most part).

http://www.mugenation.com/index.php/cat=programmi

My biggest hurdle is correctly displaying all the characters in the selection screen.



I managed to put them in the correct place (filling out the ? boxes), but the problem is some of the ? boxes take up the portraits. I need to figure out how to cut away those boxes so the portraits can be displayed in full.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I found a much more appealing torrent for MUGEN. According to the seeder, it contains MUGEN with EVE already patched into it, as well as over 500 characters, 200 stages and mp3's.

http://www.torrentspy.com/torrent/53...ers_200_stages

This is a godsend for anyone new to the MUGEN scene. It'll save you hours of configuration and web surfing for characters and stages.

Look to my MUGEN thread for further discusssions (and characters I'll be sending).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Rather amusing Mugen Video: Precure vs Naruto:

youtube.com/watch?v=-W4nwdEMUrg

Good God, longest super move like what.

I have seen that character in someone's site, but I can't quite remember which one. I have stumbled upon the site more than once, so I'll be sure to grab it for you next time. I have no desire to play against an opponent with such a retardedly long special move though (it's even worse than the Naruto custom shown there).

I've had Ragnarok Battle Offline sitting in my desktop, but I haven't tried it yet. This might be a stupid question, but is it basically Ragnorok Online minus the Online part? Also is it in english?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
