Ikemen-GO: open-source reimplementation of MUGEN

Strongly recommend going through the process of creating a character in MUGEN/Ikemen. It's easy enough (with some legacy rough edges), and with Ikemen you can use it in multiplayer. There is a lot of depth in implementing specific fighting game mechanics and a wealth of resources out there from people who have gone before. The community is eccentric but like fighting games has a lot of depth in ultra niche areas.

I've always wanted to do this - do you have any articles / videos that helped you get started? Is Fighter Factory Studio still the way to go?
As an aside, this feels like a fun application of Gen AI (generating sprites + movesets based on photos of friends or hand drawn characters, etc).

Eccentric, I don't know what you're talking about. Who hasn't dreamed of seeing characters from Jojo Bizarre Adventure and Ronald McDonald face off?

At least they got rid of that weird custom SSZ scripting language.
This is neat. Any examples of games running on Ikemen-GO now? Either way, will definitely try my hand at getting a mini-game up this weekend
