MUGEN Game: Sonic I.K.E.M.E.N Battle

The Game

Currently the game is still work in progress by one person.

Q&A / FAQ

The Game / Game Engine itself

Q: Anything or Anywhere I should start?
A: There should be a "Readme First" file and "rtfandtxtFiles" folder. Make sure you start also start in Readme.RTF and how to play.

Q: Can you adjust the controls for me?
A: D.I.Y. (Do. It. Yourself). Its literally all in the game's built in options menu.

Q: Nothings launching/Error/What do i do? its a Zip
A: Extract the zip file before you start the game. And its only for PC/Mac and/or Linux.
Trying to play the game in a zip will cause the issue as the entire game is one big folder.

Q: Does it have any similarities between this game that was once deleted?
A: Depends on how you feel. It does have most graphics and sounds borrowed from this canned game. But I may have made some improvements.

Q: Are there any plans for some more content after the demos? Like A story?
Akin to the original Sonic Battle like having
Sonic's Story?
A: While I have seen a few IKEMEN GO Full games having a story or something. I'm not a LUA coder. although I could try. help is necessary.
There's also a few files containing some later content planned.

TLDR: I May or may not plan on some super story.

Gameplay

Q: AI's a little tough / Too tough.
A: Hey there is the built in options menu in the engine. There should be some AI adjustment feature.

Q: How come the: Charging, supers, and/or specials aren't activating most of the time? It's frustrating!
A: Allow me to say this since SOME people tend to be ignorant.

I didn't do anything wrong. It's the engine's fault for not detecting the 2 button press. I can't provide an easier way to activate a 2 button command that easily. Until the developers fix the engine's problem.
And yes the Developers are aware of this issue and they're still planning to update it in a later update on this engine. So please. DO NOT JUST BLAME ME FOR THE ACTIVATING ISSUE. I am trying a work around so it can at least be a little more flexible

Q: Is there any tips I can follow?
A: There is a "CharacterTips.rtf" (IF you have Wordpad)

Q: Hey. the character I am playing as is about low on health.
A: Did you know in the OG Sonic Battle. Charging also recovers your health.

Q: How do you select a different character in the same slot?
A: The "D" and "W" buttons (Or whatever key those are assigned to)

The Graphics/Characters/Stages

Q: Who did all the sprites/Shouldn't you at least credit some of those spriters?
A: There should be credits in one of the files in the "rtfandtxtFiles" folder.
Please note I may not know every spriter.

Q: Any chances for [Whatever Character] that'll be in the game?
A: Only the creator of this fan game has the choosing. Don't bother requesting characters to be in game.
Check the DevLog for some characters in progress and some planned. if you like.

Q: Does fan characters count?
A: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That depends.

Other Misc Q&As

Q: Can there be a mobile port?
A: I am sorry but that stuff is WAY out of my range.
Unless the Developers of this engine is ever gonna plan that.

Stop asking that!

Whats this NetPlay Feature?

Q: I didn't know this engine and game alone has this "NetPlay" feature. Whats this?
A: Basically an Online Mode.

Q: How does this Netplay work?
A: This maybe a lil hard to do but its simple.
You will need a VPN or something similar of having a VPN
There are some examples like Hamachi, Radmin .etc'

1. To start off setting up as you have your own VPN make sure your opponent has one too. This is used to connect to someone else online

2. If your opponent is hosting: Type in your host's VPN (if its the right person). Then once thats done. Put in their name (Lit: any name you want)
   If you're hosting: Tell your opponent your VPN. It pretty much works on their end. Except you're the host.

Before you start battling your opponent online
Make sure you and your opponent has the exact same build. Otherwise it will not connect.

Keep in mind about the lag its not always gonna be there and not. It depends on your location.

(Not really Q&As but still)

Q: The chars movesets r trash
A: How dare you. You probably don't even know the few Sonic Fighting games. or any other fighting game.
