@The Abstract, you can already do things like that lol.
@Yotoaemon, you can only control volume and panning of audio but, you can use multiple sound files to give you the same effect.

Fighter Creator offers a high level of flexibility and control without being overly complicated. When being compared to Mugen :
- The game creation process is done completely through an editor.
- You can create your own menus and gamemodes.
- You can setup your own button layouts.
- Game data can be saved, allowing you to add unlockable characters to your games.
- Access to real time image effects allow you to completely alter the look of your games whenever you want.
- You can use sprites that are at whatever resolution your computer supports.
- Support for tag teams.
- Full control over resource loading.
- You can sell whatever you create with Fighter Creator.

Yeah, I'm working on releasing some tutorial videos and the resources in the tutorials for you guys to use.
Do you have a real name for this? What about Fighters-Infinte or Ultimate Combat or something?
No, Fighter Creator was all I could come up with lol.

- Screen Effects, real-time adjustments for Color Grading and Bloom effects.
- Load Information, useful for creating loading screens.
Note : If you are having problems with this demo, try deleting the Fighter Creator folder in your documents folder.
Hey bro i really like your program but i keep getting a annoying error when i try to make a character and the error says: Runtime error 118 and some other words can you please fix that ?

Sorry again for the delay, its been taking me a lot longer to finish the help system than I thought it would so, I'm going to just post the demo and explain the basics of how Fighter Creator works here :
Demo Download | https://www.mediafire.com/?ffs067q8k1x50sv
Fighter Creator Basic Creation Process -
User Interface
* App Bar | in addition to clicking the buttons on the app bar, you can also use the number keys (not the numpad yet) to press those buttons too. e.g. If there are four buttons on the app bar, you can press the '1' key to press the first button, the '2' key to press the second button, and so on.
* Text Boxes | you don't have to press the enter key to confirm text input.
* Number Boxes | you can also use the mouse wheel to increment/decrement the value when the box is not highlighted.
Project Management
* Project Settings Button | located on the 'Information' panel at the bottom-right corner, allows you to edit important project settings.
- Game Resolution | sets the resolution your game is designed to run on so the engine will know how to properly scale your game to other display resolutions. e.g. If your character and stage sprites are designed for a 720p resolution then you should set the game resolution to 720p.
- Project Lock | prevents this project from being loaded into other Fighter Creator editors.
Event/Move Window
Is where you add functionality to a resource. So if your creating a title screen menu, you will first have to design the title screen in the 'Editor Window'. After you finish designing it, you can then create events to control those elements you've created to allow users to navigate through your menu.
Game Management
* Game Settings Window | is where controllers and controller buttons, reactions, and character attributes are created, and also where you set the total amount of supported players.
- Button Mirroring | when characters switch sides, buttons that have this enabled swap with the buttons you've set to use for mirroring. e.g. If you created a button to move the player left and set the mirror key to a button that moves the player right, when this player ends up on the right side, the button to move the player left will become the button to move the player right.
- Reactions | are special events that are created here and are defined in the 'Event Window' of each resource you want them to be usable in. Reactions can be used to play a specific animation when a character is hit by an attack or if a trap is triggered in a stage.
* Global Access | media, data, and events created in the 'Game Window' can be used in all the other resources ( menus, stages, characters, etc. )
* Start/End Events | these are another set of special events that are used to initialize and clear data. The 'Start' event runs once when your game application is ran, and can be used to display your logo, intro, or a title screen. The 'End' event runs after you use the 'Exit' function, and can be used to display things like credits or anything else you may want before your game application closes.
Gamemodes
Are used to start, reset, and end gameplay.
* Start/End events | gamemodes also have these events and they basically function the same except, the 'Start' event runs when you use the 'Start Gamemode' function and the 'End' event runs when you use the 'End Gamemode' function.
Note : Created projects/resources and built games are saved in your documents folder.

Sorry for the long delay, found a couple of issues with FC while testing it out, but the demo should be ready to go no later than tomorrow. Just have to finish the help system.
Will the comercial editon have any special features that will not be present in the non-commercial edition?
Btw. I suggest that you get someone who creates sprites for you, if you realy plan to sell your software on steam.
Using Screenshots of licensed Stages and Chars is realy problematic on steam, the game 7 days to die was removed for just using licensed material accidentally for some time too.
And it would good for beginners if your software has a Original Char/Stage/Screenpack, so they would have something to learn from and play a little around before they beginn to create there own stuff with it.
No, the commercial edition won't have any special features, except for better project protection when distributing your games.
Yeah, I removed all of those things.
And I will definitely include resources for people to use along with a extensive help system.
