In Mugen, clients often pay a sprite artist, Graphic designer, or coder to create custom Mugen content such as characters, screenpacks and stages. Other commissions may involve artwork, images, or general help building a mugen compilation etc
There are any number of reasons a client would commission a specific custom work:
- A client may want a personal mugen creation that fits a particular color scheme, aesthetic or style.
- A client may have seen a particular piece of work, an existing mugen creation or a commercial game, and would like something similar replicated.
- A client may lack technical knowledge/skills/software/time to create something and wants to pay someone else to complete the task.
- A client may just want some cool ass personalized Futuristic flashy looking Mugen goodness that nobody else has.
