I like to appreciate every bit and aspect of the
dream matches that the KoF series established. The way SNK wanted to celebrate each story arc of their biggest franchise, with KoF '98/2002 and their constant,
"Ultimate & Unlimited" revamps, is outsandingly nice in my opinion.
As a longtime KoF fan, my urge to play around with this concept is making me share all ideas and resources I can eventually come up with, regarding that concept, in order to try and overspread it to the remaining titles of the KoF storyline: the games made during the "Tales of Ash" period (KoF 2003 ~ XIII).
The point of building up a fangame w/ this in mind is that, I afraidly think that SNK will probably never be willing to get through that "definitive KoF compilation" formula again - because this time it would require much more extra work from their part just to put everything together; due to the drastic engine & style differences between the source games. They most likely wanna spend their future resources in more brand new works - a reasonable thing to do.
With that said, I will reiterate the main concept of this fangame idea, which is to depict what a "UM sequel" could really look like. Using all the features I can currently come up with, w/ lots of analysis and inspiration from the oficial games. And of course, make use of the "fangame card" and go the extra mile a little.
