Vs. Maker version 0.85 is first uploaded. It features the following additions to the engine:

1.) NameGFX – Screenstyles that use “name sprites” specific to that style instead of the MSH/MvsC-style minilogos.
Styles using it: X-Men: Children of the Atom, Street Fighter Alpha 3
2.) Sprite Palettes – Allowing the choice of different sets of colors for a sprite. Palette-swap sprites within characters are being replaced with single palette-enabled sprites. Certain characters who were just palette swaps of one another have been merged into one characters.

Characters using it: Andore, Altered Beast werewolf, Arthur (GnG), Bad Dudes (now one merged character), Capt. America (with U.S. Agent), Chun-Li, ESWAT’s ICE and File 96 (merged into one char that shares palettes), Guy, Iron Man/War Machine (also merged), Karate Champ, Megaman, Poison (& Roxy), Ryu and Sagat.

Added sprites: Capt. America (new poses + 1 U.S. Agent sprite edit), Chun-Li (CvS sprites!), Iron Man (with War Machine MvsC art sprite edit), Megaman (a few new sprites), Ryu and Sagat.
