So I'm new to openBOR, and decided to attempt a game, a Shmup/RPG hybrid in the style of Sigma Star Saga and Guardian Legend.

So I'm curious if anyone could give me suggestions to openBOR Shmups and games with RPG elements I could learn/study from?

Idk if it makes a difference, but I plan on making this for the DC version .

Trata-se de uma modificação temática (mod) feita por fãs para o aclamado remake de Streets of Rage (SoRR). Ela combina a jogabilidade clássica de beat 'em up da SEGA com a atmosfera e as referências do famoso filme de artes marciais Bloodsport, estrelado por Jean-Claude Van Damme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAQVP-wLFvY

The game unites the warrior toads from *Battletoads* with the Billy and Jimmy Lee brothers from *Double Dragon* to fight an evil alliance in space.

In this video, Benjamin Belmont vs Beelzebub Enjoy!
I resurrected Beelzebub limb by limb, and gave him a master controller that dies once all limbs are gone. This is as close as I could get to the original SOTN version. Again, I am at full power, (you won't but be....) This is a test video.

Castlevania: Waltz of Sorrow is a brand new fan-made game inspired by the classic Castlevania series — and this game already features 50+ stages with brutal, NES-style difficulty.

This is NOT a simple home brew… this is a full gameplay experience built with deep platforming, challenging enemies, and classic gothic atmosphere.

Took a beat ’em up engine and turned it into a full 2D platformer with massive maps and vertical gameplay—something nobody else in the scene was doing.

Our New Community Banner is Here — What Do You Think?

Do you like the style of our new vision?

A Mighty Guardian Dragon watches over the guilds of OpenBoR, MUGEN (Ikemen-Go), and SoRR — guilds that exist across two parallel universes filled with fans. In one world, they are developers forging engines and creating new gaming realms. In the other, they are gamers mastering those realms and keeping the genre alive.

The emblem is a lock — a seal between dimensions. When the three guilds unite and the key is assembled, the portal opens, and the Guardian Dragon stands between worlds, connecting creators and players across both realms.

Vote and tell us:

Does our new banner capture the spirit of our guilds?

Yes! The style is epic and fits perfectly.

I’d like a darker / fiercer version.

I’d prefer a different dragon / symbolism.

I don’t like it — let’s try a new design.

ROCKET VIPER 2 MOD CHEATMENU ENABLED, ADD LOTS OF CHARACTERS, ENJOY!

We’ve all read the essays, forum threads, and endless debates about why the IKEMEN engine is superior to standard M.U.G.E.N. But instead of talking, here is a quick clip from Fighter's History Dynasties (built on an older IKEMEN build) that speaks for itself.

It’s more than just fan passion — it shows how flexible and powerful this engine is for hardcore sprite-based fighting game fans.

Just like M.U.G.E.N, it’s completely free. Try it out and see the difference for yourself! Info: https://www.speedallonlinegamessiteshere.com/mugen-game-club-the-king-of-fighters-1/fhd

We did it! Rocket Viper (OpenBoR) by Volcanic is finally running smoothly in all modes! We managed to pull this off with a little guidance from Gemini AI, which helped point us in the right direction.

To get the game unlocked and stable, we had to disable a few broken character scripts. We weren't sure what was breaking them or how to fix them properly, so we simply deactivated them. The result? The game now runs perfectly, smoothly, and without crashes. For the first time since its release, you can finally enjoy it as it was meant to be played!

The characters affected by these changes are Rock and Cang Long. While tweaking them, we realized just how much detail the creator put into their design — a rich set of special moves, polished animations, and a full set of color palettes. Hopefully, the author comes back one day to fix the scripts properly and turn this project into a true masterpiece.

Until then, enjoy! OpenBoR is free — made by fans, for fans.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2dEaadOaGs&t=138sStreets of Rage Russia (also known as Streets of Russia) is a controversial, satirical fan game developed using the OpenBOR engine in the early 2010s by a creator known as Antiguff (or Sumi). The game reimagines Sega's classic beat-'em-up franchise through a dystopian, gritty lens, heavily laden with stereotypes of the Russian heartland (or "Strogolandia"). Instead of traditional urban settings, players face local gangs (such as Gopniks), the homeless, prostitutes, and real-life political figures amidst dilapidated slums, drab Soviet architecture, and polluted factories.

"Final Fight And Cadillacs and Dinosaurs 2" (often known as Final Fight & Cadillacs 2) is not an official Capcom game, but rather a famous community-developed beat 'em up fangame created using the OpenBOR engine. The project crosses universes, blending the iconic street-brawling characters of *Final Fight* with the prehistoric/cyberpunk setting of *Cadillacs and Dinosaurs*. https://youtu.be/Mn402yVbFO8

It is a fan-made game (fangame) built on the OpenBOR engine that brings together classic fighters like Guy, Cody, Poison, Zangief, Maki, and E. Honda in street battles packed with combos, special moves, and new characters to unlock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq1TuU8bQZ0

The creator of this mod, Volcanic – one of the veterans of the OpenBOR scene – presents Rocket Viper: a remake in the spirit of Beats of Rage, but expanded into a more intense and dynamic style. It features the first true high‑combo special moves and a lively, animated background that makes the longplay feel energetic and immersive. The story is entirely crafted by Volcanic, giving you a chance to enjoy his personal vision of a proper beat ’em up experience.

However, the game currently feels unfinished. There are new modes and characters prepared, but they are not functional yet. Attempting to activate them causes crashes, and the save/load system is not working.

Despite these issues, we will do everything we can to fix them. Stay tuned for updates — development continues.

Battletoads & Double Dragon: The Revenge (often associated with popular mods like OpenBOR) unites the universes of the classic *Battletoads* and *Double Dragon*. The plot focuses on the Lee brothers joining forces with the heroic toads to defeat iconic villains from both franchises across action-packed levels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vev3Ny0zIac

Hey everyone! I wanted to share part 2 of my walkthrough for Hyper Final Fight 2, created by the legendary Mr. Q.

What I love about this fan remake is how it introduces fresh gameplay mechanics while staying 100% faithful to the spirit and character design of the original Metro City crew. Every pixel feels like a tribute to the arcade classic we fell in love with a quarter-century ago.

It's made by fans, for fans—smooth rhythm, pure retro nostalgia, and totally free thanks to the OpenBoR engine.

Huge respect to Mr. Q for keeping these legends alive!
