UPDATED:

Hi guys. i am a huge MUGEN fan but dont know how to do too much with the engine.

I am however making a side scrolling beat em up video game of the simpsons (on the Openbor engine) by using Warners excellent simpsons MUGEN characters as a base and adding additional animations and new characters to flesh out the story.

you can see an old video of the game in progress here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64UvhOTD0X8

and you can play the current version here

http://gamejolt.com/games/arcade/simpsons-treehouse-of-horror/27481/

The demo has many different modes worth checking out.
Story mode:
Tournament mode:
Reclaim Burns manor:
Family guy mode:
Gallery mode:

I still have a few things i want to fix and add...once game is fully complete i am happy to share my characters with the MUGEN community, or if anyone wants to help with animations or backgrounds with my project let me know :)

Please let me know what you think once youve given the game a go

Shouldn't this go in the WIP section??

I'd like to report two robots on the MFG forums: One is EXShadow. The other is Saikoro.
There should be a Saikoro plugin for Photoshop.

And good luck on finishing your game.

I wasn't able to use my controller with it, when I tried to enable it, it wouldn't let me configure the controls.  I made it to the cemetery level before I gave up.  The game is fun, and good job making something new, a little repetitive with the enemies, but I understand why. 

I think you should not put themes like Geese Howard's theme, in the cut scene where the aliens raise the dead, just keep it Simpsons music, Geese Howard's theme just felt out of place during that little scene...or find some horror movie music that may be zombie related.   

Also foreign lingo, Simpson's characters wouldn't use is out of place as well.  I am referring to the texted portions of the game where you added Kent Brockman, or Kang saying in text form, things like "We own your a$$" things of that nature made me roll my eyes.

I like the little edits to the stages and appearance of characters within them helping throughout what I played.  One suggestion is maybe add in some new enemies, since it is Tree House of Horror, maybe characters that appeared in those episodes, as end bosses or regular level baddies.  The little Krusty evil doll, Grounds keeper willie as Freddy Krueger,  Hugo - Bart's twin brother (not sure if you included him, you probably did since it's made in Mugen and there is an attic level out there already).  There is also the bowling ball boss from the Dreamland level in the Arcade game, that you can use as a end boss for a level and that's already made for Mugen, which includes headless power plant workers and devil Bart Simpsons.   Anyways, you get where I am going with this, have fun with it.

This game is not cannon to simpsons story and involves an alien invasion on springfield and that is why it is called tree house of horror. All music and sounds are not final at this stage.

In terms of enemies i need to spread them out so you face new enemies as you progress through the game. You start off facing easiest enemies which is light Green Alien then as you progress through stages you are introduced to various enemies and bosses who are joining forces with the Aliens to take over Springfield and the world. All characters in the game are/will need to be justified.

Some of the enemies you will face in full game include:

Aliens, UFOs, Zombies , mutated nerds, Bender, Leela, Mr burns clones (vampire burns), Mr burns himself , Moe, Mafia henchmen, Nelson, Blinky the fish, Sideshow Bob, Hugo, Family guy chicken, Brian Griffin, Chris Griffin, Stewie, Peter Griffin, Family guy world criminal

Some of the NPC characters who assist you in game are

Chief Wiggum, Lisa Simpson, Santas little helper, Ned flanders, Maggie simpson (who will be a bonus playable character in final game (she isnt available in demo but she’s my favourite creation and i can see her kicking in a$$ in MUGEN later on down the track)

Some of the other characters you will see cameo in the game are

Apu, Snake, bumbleebee man, Dr hibbert, Granpa simpson, Hans moleman, Jimbo jones, Ralf wiggum, Fry, Krusty impersonator, Barney, Milhouse, Michael Jackson (fat white guy version from simpsons episdoe) Scratchy, Patty and Selma, Nuclear power plant worker, Snowball the cat, Disco Stu, McBain. Groundskeeper Willie and news crews from simpsons, family guy and futurama, oh and hypno toad makes an appearance

BTW how do you get JPEG versions of stages made for MUGEN ? i dont know how to extract the stage files if anyone can do that for me (or show me how) that would be great.

      Posted: July 03, 2013, 12:37:12 am
Hi all just thought i would give an update on some of the new characters im working on. Will update demo in a few days



Lard Lad is a boss you will face on a bridge, he has high energy and you need to run around bridge destroying boxes etc to search for more health and weapons to last the fight.





Maggie is a mini boss at first and then becomes a playable character once she re-joins the good guys. She will be available near end of game and also in bonus tournament mode.

she has a variety of outrageous moves which will be great for a MUGEN character. she can jump on the iron throne and summon alien knights to protect her, she can morph into a 'thing' creature, and she has a few other moves which I’ll leave as a surprise.

What do you think ? has anyone played the available demo ? any thoughts and feedback ?

Well, I liked it up until the vehicle and power plant, for the vehicle section you have to use Homer, and everywhere else you use Bartman. The Nerd enemies you encounter are annoying, and DO NOT get me started on those cheap Mafia enemies. The not Warner sprites are awesome, and fit in well. The Dracula Burns enemies need serious tweaking, and their Bloodbath explosions being horrifcally overpowered and hard to hit. I wimped out at the sewers, because the Blinky sprite scared me, but it is by no means bad. It's a lovely little demo, and I hope you do more work, because I would consider you awesome if you made a Mario beat em up with Shinryoga sprites. Also, that Maggie/Santa's Little Helper/Kang hybrid is freaking scary, please DO NOT put that in the game!

hi guys im still hard at work on this game

have added a few boss battles, heres latest boss i made



this boss is tricky beacuse it can make more robot clones so you have to be careful

also tweaked playable characters some more and added martin prince as a character who will be an NPC if you save him.



Please download game and provide feedback. Remember that once game is complete i will release all my simpsons sprites to the MUGEN community ! so help me finish my game sooner by providing feedback and any help would be appreciated.

Hey guys.  nows the time to check it out and provide feedback. There are a few levels to add and a few tweaks based on feedback etc. Aim to have full game released soon for those that are interested.

Ive added some FPS levels and many other additions, i really need feedback- without it i am struggling to stay motivated. Any help also from spriters etc would be greatly appreciated.

I like it is fun but Homer's dash attack needs a nerf I can juggle the enemies for as long as I'm in the middle of the screen plus about 3 more off screen. Jumping feels stiff and not all that useful for fighting enemies. That is all I have atm.

yeah i want Homer to be the brawler type who is good at close range and has best juggle ability, his jumping is the worst but if used at right time can help keep attacks flowing. how was levels, bosses, enemies and bonus levels and games etc ?

Everything was pretty good for the most the zombie level where you run to the end was kinda overwhelming with all the enemies, the vehicle levels I left that sometimes I would get overwhelmed with UFOs, and could only beat those with Krusty, and Homer as Bart was too sluggish for me. Also a save function if you can would be really cool unless I missed out on how to save.
