25 Years of Mugen – Battle Stormer Classics
Not even in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that I would reach this milestone: 25 years working with Mugen!
Unless I’m mistaken, today I’m the oldest programmer on the engine who is still active. Or at least among the 3 oldest, for sure.
I started in December 1999 (the engine was released in the middle of the same year), I saw many sites/forums/communities come and go – MugenBR, Pão de Mugen, MugenNow, TESTP, Charasoon, Oolong Mugen Bookmark… I miss old friends like Bea, Carnificina, Ex-Inferis, Juan Carlos (RIP) and some I still talk to today, like RyounWin… the list is huge and my memory is no longer the same 😉
Wow, the first community I joined was the Mugen channel on IRC!
Things that didn’t exist in 1999:
Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, Streaming, Wikipedia, Alexa, iPhone, broadband Internet in Brazil, Google was only 1 year old.
Famous things in 1999:
IRC, Blackberry, RealJukebox, Winamp, ICQ
Things were definitely different than they are today, both in Mugen and in real life. In a few years, I’ll be 50 years old and I don’t know if I’ll still be here, but as long as I’m having fun with it and have the health to do it, I’ll be here 🙂
Thank you very much to all of you who have followed me so far!
And to celebrate this milestone, I’m updating my favorite Mugen work: Battle Stormer Classics.
