    “Capcom vs Square: Parallel Destinies” is a not-for-profit crossover fighting game being actively created in the I.K.E.M.E.N. Go engine.

    A 1v1 4-button fighter with a blend of the high points of MARVEL vs CAPCOM and CAPCOM vs SNK, it attempts to recreate the classic 90s CAPCOM vibe, and pits both universes in a battle for survival within the Void!

    Project Ultibyte – Beta 1.0 Official Trailer

    Project Ultibyte is a retro-inspired indie fighting game mod developed as a standalone fan project by Code Hunter. This Beta 1.0 trailer showcases the core gameplay, classic arcade aesthetics, and fast-paced combat inspired by legendary console and arcade fighting games.

    This is a non-profit fan-made project mod, created by fans for fans, and developed independently from Smash Bros Crusade or any other fangame directive. Project Ultibyte aims to capture the essence of classic retro gaming while delivering modern melee-focused gameplay, carefully tuned for each character.

    The game draws inspiration from iconic eras and platforms such as arcade machines, NES, SNES, Mega Drive, PC Engine, Atari systems, and classic console fighters, blending nostalgia with competitive mechanics.
    This project is still a work in progress, with much more content planned for future updates.

    🎮 Current Status: Beta 1.0
    🛠️ Genre: Retro Fighting Game / Indie
    👾 Style: Arcade / Pixel / Melee-focused Combat
