Mortal Kombat Project Fan made Trilogy Re-imagination by MKP team this current build by Eddy Wang

Didn't know this was a thing, have to say it looks very cool. I've been craving something with the older style MK combo system but more modern design. I'll have to take a look at this when I get some more time.

Really great job though. This is shit ton of work.

Don't forget that it's super buggy, mugen has a lot of issues running inputs and animations at times, and there are things i'm still unable to fix, but i do a system revision everytime i can in order to refine the general gameplay, and improve the experience, i think this one it's already outdated and i want to fix it further due to some things i keep finding annoying, but never the less, still fun.

out of curiosity how is this different from the other MK mugan games, like Komplete Edition or Chaotic's New Era or something like that?

I like my characters to behave more like NRS era system, where everyone has it's own uniqueness instead of having a bunch of pallete swaps doing the exact same thing.

For example, i have Mk1 Sub, MK2 Sub, MK3 Sub, Classic Sub, and Mythologies Sub and i still have frost, this is pretty much a all sub archetype, but each one plays different from each other.

Mk2 Jax for example focus more of his gameplan on charging up ground pound, and find oportunities to use it and force opponents to either move away from him or come at him, and he can mix this up by either not charging and take them off the air or super charge another one and launch them.
Which is widely different from how UMK3/Trilogy Jax plays

So to every character in the roster that it's not a boss character. they have something to offer, from easy to learn to technical characters with a much wide variety of skills or fleshed out mechanics.

I'm also constantly balancing them, specially when a character seems to go far beyond what i initially scopped for, or when they're under performing i tend to give them new moves, new ways to do damage or more, and there are some i still have no idea how to flesh them out, but these often come up with the more it plays.

Like, every sub archtype (frost included) when they have aggressor active their ice special moves can exist for a short period of time as their ice clones on screen, so you can clone and use other specials other than slides
Super Sub gets juiced like MK mythologies Sub when he enters netherrealm and gains new specials
Teleport Ninjas can teleport without cooldowns

not every character have aggressor changes yet, some i have 0 idea to what to do at the moment, but a good majority of them already has something interesting to help juice them up with aggressor.

Today i give you Kajin, the original firegod, he has many names, such as Kagutsuchi in Japanese Mythology and even Hinoka

However NRS never selted for a concrete name, so the community changes his name quite a lot, but it's common sense that he is aknowledge as firegod
So Enjoy the render of the VS screen, still down to some modifications obviously, but that's his general design

The Main idea i had behind the design, was that when he takes the flame elemental form he would look much more like he did in the game, due the fact that the design made by John Tobias never made into production phase and they went on with a more raiden-like look in the game when you face him.

So this one it's inspired by a very classical in Jet Li's movie "The Evil Cult" the costume used by Chang Mo Kei it's close to this though he has it's own design

With both using Solar Style as the main source of their power


Gameplay ideas and plans i have for Kajin as of now, based on my knowledge and known limitations of mugen.

Burst System: A system where it boosts up and powers up his attacks adding to it's damage or propriety change, at this point in match his demeanor it's far more calm

Aggressor System: All flame moves are automatically boosted by burst without previous activation

Anger system: whenever his angry gauge it's filled, he switches up his tones and turns up his elemental control up to a 12, so he becomes imune to any type of projectile, generates heat damage and can fully use the extensive of his powers with far more utility, this last for the entire round and then it can't be used until the rest of the match, his mood switches and firegod will sound more angry in this mode.
To activate, the character has to flawless block anything 3 times


This is the first idea, and it's on their baby steps, the second i start to give him things to do in the game, i will understand better what direction to take him in.

If this was an original NRS title, i would switch the burst system with a learning system, where he is able to copycat anything he flawless block and use it using the stance button with a 4 slots to copy 4 moves of the opponent, but mugen can't do that without too much space, memory load and a lot of impossible things

We decided to change the overall look, and i like where it is now, looks a lot more like a firegod.
We got rid of the clothes, and the belts, it was all over the place, and added a fire talisman on his belt
We gave him muscles as well do make him look more like a martial artist rather than some dude in a hat.

The modeling phase of the first batch is coming to an end, we are almost finishing Jataaka so i decided to give you guys a treat, as this is one of the most obscure character from Mortal Kombat, who outside of a few minor roles it's hardly seen in their full glory.

The costume it's close to the original because i designed this one from top to bottom, we decided to mix and match some of what i designed with the original one and this is the end result.

Face is based on a south african icon who as passed away earlier in her career, the legendary Lebo Mathosa

Some Jataaka Shoots in game, managed to bypass some of the hickups, like image resizing which tended to make models lose a lot of quality, but the stance animation without rigify it's a pain, i need to learn that in order to glue the characters feet in one place, here is some the stance shoots in game
