To celebrate the 6K subscribers reached in this channel and inspired by Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, the Shop Mode has arrived on the MUGEN scene as Lua Module format for the Ikemen Engine!

In many modern Fighting Games, Shop Mode (also known as a Store or in-game Marketplace), is a feature where players can use In-Game Currency or Real-World Money to Purchase various Items and in some cases even Gameplay Enhancements. These items can range from simple avatar icons and Custom Colors to Character Costumes, Soundtracks, and even New Characters or Stages.

Players can Earn in-game Currency by playing different game modes, such as Arcade, Versus, Missions, Events, Tournaments, or Story Mode.

This shop module is a universal solution for the Ikemen Engine, where creators will able to sell Custom Items (mainly characters and stages) and purchase them as an unlock condition to anything that use "unlock" paramvalues. Even Game Modes access can be purchased. So if you are making a Full Game, your game should have a Shop Menu that incentivizes players to collect coins/in-game currency to purchase and unlock content.

If you have any questions or problems related to this module, you can write in the comments below to help you in any way I can.

My goal is to contribute to the addition of functionalities or game modes that are currently absent, so that we can all have at our disposal a powerful open source engine that allows us to create or imitate Fighting Games with advanced features and quality like those of games developed by companies.
