CARD SAGA WARS. CHECK THIS OUT IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY.

So some of you may have heard of M.U.G.E.N., the freeware 2D fighting game creation engine. As far as it goes, it's a pretty cool engine. It's closest analogue would be about...the RPG Maker series. Great things can be made with it, but on the bad end of the spectrum, you get shit like SSJ6 GOKU VS. SEPHIROTH or BILL COSBY VS. SHIN AKUMA L5 or SCORPION VS. HOMER SIMPSON. The hundreds upon hundreds of Youtube videos full of MUGEN creations featuring badly MS Painted custom characters and horrible interface mish mashes can tell you that.
But sometimes, just like any other game engine, you get something great. Something wonderful.
http://cardgallery.tales-tra.com/main.htm (nevermind a lot of the page is in Spanish. It's not an English originated creation, but the important pages are in English and the game itself will eventually be as well)
I'm not sure what's better, the fact that a product like this, that looks so good actually exists, or that this sort of thing is exactly what all of us here have the capability to do, with any engine! Okay, maybe not ALL of us have the cabability to do that, I worded it wrong, but the fact that they're using lowly MUGEN to make...this, proves that anything really is possible.
Check it out!

CSW has been around for a good long while now. It's impressive to say the least. But the 'oh my god' factor has worn off a while ago. Now I just want them to release something. >:V
Though I really don't envy the amount of work they're doing. All those assist characters just add onto the ridiculous spriting load. Not to mention implementing all that stuff in game. Good luck to them I say.

I remember when this was reduced to simply some guy spriting up his own cards of random characters, now it's some big crazy fighting fan wank of a game. I'm curious if this is actually balanced enough with good mechanics and not just some dull fighting game with too many characters and flash over substance. But I guess time will tell.
I KNOW THIS IS OLD GUYS
I just wanted to bring it up for the sake of discussion. I mean it DOES seem like they're still working on it.

Nothing Ahruon has ever been involved with has gone past the extremely short demo stage, so I'd say that the odds of this being finished someday are extremely low. I'd be happy to be proven wrong, though.
I thought it was vapor too but then saw what I thought were new vids for it a few months ago so I am confused :<
would love for it to come out though

I was excited when I thought the topic title read "Carl Sagan Wars".
Also, this is all new to me! Looks pretty slick. For a fighting game.

This thread is now about the concept "Carl Sagan Wars"
It'd obviously have to be set in space. Maybe it can the quest to find aliens (and punch them in the face)
I own Dragons of Eden but haven't read it yet.
Also fighting game looks pretty, but it's also a fighting game, and those tend to be very PRESS RANDOM BUTTONS LOTS.

No no no- Carl Sagan would never stoop so low. He'd have to SCIENCE them in the face. Perhaps some sort of punching machine attatched to his body powered by theoretical SCIENCE, not to mention mmBillions and mmBillions of stars.
And I think Stephen Hawking could either be a boss or a summon. Your thoughts?
Stephan Hawking should be a playable character who can shoot black holes to deal AoE damage to enemies!
