Important news about Capcom Universe!

Well then, didn't expect me of all people to make a topic about this huh?

Well, there's a good reason why!

Beximus has officially moved on from the project. He's done with the game and recently released a new beta build with more content to leave us with. You can find that build below:



He will be releasing a final patch for this build to fix up some glitches in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for that.


that's not the only news however:

He has handed a version of the project over to me to work on unofficially. Meaning any future content after that period will be handled by me to do whatever I please!
The first thing on my agenda: finish characters he was developing


The first thing on my agenda: finish characters he was developing

Currently I have been working to finish up Juri, who will be the first new character from my end to be released onto this project, you can see her progress so far below (everything is subject to change):

After that, I will be finishing Joe from SF1 as he was next in line, and then possibly import the rest of Gladiacloud's characters.

I have been working closely with Bex to ensure I understand his source code completely and it's been a good process so far.


That's it for the next few months, the real work begins when I start adding in characters who weren't being actively developed! Meaning, I'm free to choose which characters will be included myself, but I will be very selective about it.


If you're interested in helping out, give me a hollar and I'll walk you through how certain things work for the game! Are there any specific characters you want me to include? Any characters that use Beximus' coding as a base? Let me know and I will heavily consider my options.

Be sure to stop by the discord to discuss the new build!: https://discord.gg/GpGRj56


Thank you and please look forward to more releases soon!

ah yes that's a bug with the opengl rendering for the font, not sure why it happens

just switch it over to a different rendering option and you should be okay on that front

That is unfortunate.. I used to think of us as friendly rivals on the FG development front. Did he say why? Also, good to hear you aren’t done with mugen after all. Are those the same Juri sprites?

He's not quitting MUGEN, he's actually moved on to an even better project (it's CVS related and it's 3v3) that's using 1.1's new features so he's not limited by anything like high-res effects or color limits. It's exciting stuff, there's more to come soon.

here's' a preview from what's he's shown publically:




(Everything here is subject to change)

One thing I am excited to introduce is CS patches for characters who desperately need some color variety, I might start with Bison on this front, then move on from there

In the video I am using older sprites, but i recently updated her spritesheet to be up-to-date to the ones chuchoryu released recently

Ouuu CVS inspired eh. Interesting. Chuchoryu's stuff can work very well with the Vs. gameplay as you don't have to worry about the frames as much, tsk wish I could use those.
Good to see projects still going though. Good luck csing those cps3 sprites, if you'll still use them.

Ah yeah, MFG is now the home for the next half of Capcom Universe! It feels bittersweet since Beximus worked a long time on this but at least he's doing something new to occupy his time. I can't wait to see what you come up with Lui.

Just to clear things up,

The project was not officially handed over to lui.  However he's free to do what he wants to the cracked version.  Which is why he stated he'd call it something maybe like "Capcom Universe + Remix".  It's kind of like how Namco made Pac-Man and allowed Midway to add more content and called it Pac-Man plus.

I'll be releasing a final official version soon since the project deserves a proper ending.  It'll have a few new stages, cviper, lei-lei and pure.   After that it will only receive updates for functionality.  Any new characters and stages beyond that will be courtesy of Lui

Hopefully a solution comes up for these cracked versions, can always go to unreal. Let me know if you find something. Keep doing your thing, good to see you still at it. Where can I follow your latest thing?

Oops! I knew i forgot to edit this entry too! But yeah it's not "official" but essentially I will be adding more content after it's final "official" patch.

the name change is correct, just to respect Bex's official version and not take away focus from that. Let me go edit the first post to clear up confusion

Hopefully a solution comes up for these cracked versions, can always go to unreal. Let me know if you find something. Keep doing your thing, good to see you still at it. Where can I follow your latest thing?

by cracked he means a version of the game that isn't moleboxed, I will decide whether or not I will re-molebox it myself depending on whether or not I feel it's necessary. Regardless, anything I add will only be added AFTER the final release is out in the wild as to respect Bex's wish for a "proper" ending.

Think of anything I add being "Season 2" or something kind of like how Street Fighter does it.

regardless of the open nature, anything in the game doesn't work with regular mugen unless specifically converted to such manually by hand. anything plopped in the game willy-nilly will also not work as well due to the closed nature.


ALSO: one of the main things I will be adding is Color Seperation for most of the cast, I recently have graciously recieved help from Combo 4 Dayz on that front, if anyone would like to contribute head to the discord in the first post to check out what we got so far.

Oh wow I jumped the gun. Either way, it's cool that lui is going to put their own spin to this game. I'm just glad Beximus is still doing MUGEN stuff and ending the game on his own terms before he moves on.

Glad to hear that Beximus. Good luck on your next project bro.
Lui, good luck man, hope to see good things. :)
