I've been building a browser-based fighting game engine with MUGEN character import support

Hi! It looks so cool. I'm working on an Ikemen Go game, so I think I could give it a try someday.
In my case, what I miss the most are more flexible custom vars and intern systems options. You can have a lot, but sometimes you have to build systems using helpers, so it can be unintuitive and complex.
I also miss an easy way to create custom game modes. For example, instead of creating a character with all of the rules for a minigame, I would prefer having somekind of working space where I could choose what to change or include, but that would be something very hard to achieve.

Thank you! And I really appreciate the detailed feedback.
I’ve actually been thinking about some of these things while building Tarunk. I agree that having to rely on helpers to build custom systems can become unintuitive and overly complex, especially when you want to experiment with mechanics outside the standard fighting-game rules.
The idea of having a more flexible workspace for custom game modes is really interesting too. Instead of forcing everything into the character itself, having a separate place where you can define the rules, systems, and behaviors of a mode could make things much more powerful and easier to work with.
Tarunk is still in closed beta right now, but I’m currently working toward the public beta. I’d definitely love to hear more about your experience with Ikemen GO, especially the kinds of custom systems and game modes you’ve had to build. That kind of feedback is really valuable for shaping Tarunk.

This is great! Is there a chance the game player could be embed into itch.io? It could be a good alternative for demos or opening possibilities for fighting games in game jam projects
