Yes, Little Fighter Online was shut down

[$Kate$]

Yes, LFO was shut down on April 27, 2016.

We are not there yet. Can you fix the date?
This must have happened this year, as someone said they had accessed LFO website not too long ago.

It was officially shut down on April 27, 2016 (I have my sources + proof). What do you me by "we are not there yet" - are you joking? It's already February 2016!

Well, at March-April 2015, Marshall (the admin of LF2 official forum) told that he received an information that U1 is gearing up for a LFO follow up. Whilst not being 100% confirmed, we have no idea how accurate that infromation is and if/whether this information is still relevant.

They may be up to something, but whether they will do it or not we don't know. Check this out.

Wow, a nice find! Well, it was obvious U1 won't give up on the IP. new LF games?!

With LFO closing down, what holds the future for Little Fighter IP?

U1 still owns the IP until someone decides to buy it, if they are willing to sell it.

That being said, I believe Marti still owns the rights of LF2 (something to do with his agreement with U1). Otherwise Marti would haven't created 3 updates since then (including a major 1 in 2009). And U1 would have tried to cashflow LF2 like it did with LFO. So somehow I believe that U1 are restricted when it comes to LF2. Also look up on LF2 official website's FAQ.

In my opinion there's always the possibility of another game that appears with similarities to LF2 (there's already Hero Fighter), but I guess we're missing the modifiability aspect, which we would really be eager to see in a LF2 successor.

In the beginning LF2 data files were encrypted too and modification was not possible, am I correct? Then Marti & Starsky decided to let it be modifiable.

What I know about Hero Fighter is that is has great potential and the code is object oriented. Should Marti decide to make it modifiable sometime, it shall be. Though this is unlikely...

As far as I'm concerned, it as not Marti nor Starsky choice, but it was forced on them by the LF2 fan, Jiquera Mondilano, who contacted them regarding the game and then created the LF2 Data Changer along with the first tutorials. Obviously, Marti & Starsky are no fan of modification, as otherwise they would have released LF2 source code of which they refuse to do so.
