Without any news these days, perhaps the development of MUGEN program has long been stopped.

I believe the present release is far from satisfactory, given something like this http://mugenguild.com/forum/topics/afterimages-pissing-you-off-well-theyre-broken--167276.0.html. Not to mention those problems of dangling pointers and buffer overflows which are even extensively studied and exploited by some authors.

Is there a chance to replace Elecbyte's structure with some open-source resolution?

Maybe not since they made a custom build for that kickstarter
Game that had mugen char releases I forgot the name of it.

Hopefully they can release that build or something better.

Anybody know how big the team is? How old are these guys too?
I have a feeling there pushing mid 40's

They might update 1.1 to a stable version in about 10 years or so if we're lucky lol and most people will be gone by then
Dont even get your hopes up just enjoy whats out now and dont even think about the program will be updated again

I read that in either the kickstarter page they had or here in the thread
They had not too long ago where everybody was telling the coder
To separate from the dev team he joined

I remember that was cancelled because the guy Aiduzzi was working with for it was shady or something.
