AlephOne Posted by CyRUS64 @ 21:17
We missed this release a little while back but AlephOne has been ported to the dreamcast. Aleph One is a 3D first-person shooter game, based on the game Marathon 2 by Bungie Software.
This port is at an early stage with no saving and a keyboard required to play.

Ravenous Posted by CyRUS64 @ 19:11
Ryan of Ravenous games asked us to host a couple of divx movies of their techdemo showing off the engine they will be using to code a future demo. Here's some further info:

'The techdemos show bootup of the Dreamcast, followed by simple model and texturing, as well as controller input. I am currently working on a collision detection and response system which should show up in the next videos..
Note that these videos are nothing more than a rendering and control test. Don't think it to be any sort of game.'

However regarding their future demo/project:
'It's going to be a 2 level demo that is something to the effect of a 3D Double Dragon. Single player with a few different bad guys and two bosses. I'm modeling the levels and characters.'

Techdemo movies



Update:
"We're hoping to have the demo finished sometime in January, but we should have a basic playable version before Christmas. Guess what your getting for Christmas Ryan? A copy of DC Beat-em'Up ;)" :)
