Tucked away inside of the densely-packed Tokyo Game Show Indie Game Area was Project EF-12, which at first glance appeared to be a prototype 3D fighter along the lines of SoulCalibur or Tekken. After being introduced to designer/Quad Arrow CEO Masahiro Onoguchi, however, I learned that the game is in fact a free, totally customizable 3D fighting game engine.

Through modifying what essentially amounts to a collection of spreadsheets, users can change virtually everything about Project EF-12, from its characters, to their abilities and stages, all the way down to the appearance of the UI. The version I played had a selection of characters that had been modified into familiar archetypes: Virtua Fighter-esque, Tekken-like – there was even a character that played with 2D-style controls, despite this being a 3D engine.

Edit: This thing is huge. If you go to the English version of the page EF-12 won't show up, you have to navigate the Japanese version and open an account to download it.

Post by: DarkValentine on September 25, 2013, 01:39:54 PM
Question!
Whats the minimum PC spects for this?
As far as I know, the known specs is:
Windows XP/7/8
CPU: Core 2 Duo
GPU: GeForce GT640M
I'm gonna search for the bare minimum, if at all possible somewhere.
EDIT: Found the rest of the specs
What is said that is recommended to have:
-Windows XP / 7
-Intel ® Pentium ® D processor or higher
· DirectX ® 9.0c or later
HDD space-1.5GB
RAM-2GB of
-display 1,280 x 1,024
Known tested specs:
(i5-2400 (3.1GH) / memory 8GB / Intel Core PC - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 )
(Core i7-3517U 1.9GHz - 4GB MEM Windows 7 - built-in GPU HD4000 Intel *18fps around. 60fps almost changed to 640 * 360 resolution rendering* (Secondary optional note: GeForce GT620M and almost 60fps 1152 * 648 resolution 52fps rendering before and after*
Core2Duo E8400 @ 3GHz / 2GB RAM / own PC NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT (256MB)
thing with Dell 60fps if you hide the background
Intel Core2Duo T9500 / 2GB memory / NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS
As posted on the site:
It is a necessary operating environment of Softimage, a tool the main. I think when you work with on-board graphics Because I do not choose the video card too much CG tool, we recommend that you collect the information on the net how to retrofit the video card now.

Oh man.... finally The breakthrough I've been waiting for. This could be epic. The polycount on the models look pretty high so it shouldn't be a problem porting over my models. :Terry
you was the first person I remembered when I saw this. I opened the forum now to send you a PM...and here you are :)

I guess I'm the only scared guy here. What happens to everything MUGEN when this comes out?
I believe the mugen is unique, it is different from OpenBOR and certainly different this too, surely this engine will not be able to withstand a 1000 chars like mugen but it sure is revolutionary

it will continues to exists. Both engine can co-exists. There are 3D fans, 2D fans and fans of both, like me :)

Mugen will live on forever, just like the ham radio.

There are people already saying that MUGEN will die.
Ever since I joined mugen in 2006 there have been people saying that mugen is already dead.
:-??

This happens since the day I ever touched Mugen back at 1999...And here we are :)
Both engine co-exists, they are different and have different goals. While I like 3D chars, pixel art still have place in my heart. And in everyone who are not so young :)
