    Homebrew Bilou Engine revised

    Hello everyone. Most of the work during 2026 focused on the "Green Zone". The environment and monsters featured in Apple Assault were reworked to take advantage from the animation engine introduced in School Rush. That means picking up and throwing applemen. These were already rolling on the...

    Homebrew Bilou Engine revised

    It's will be a brand new game based on a decades old dream that never seen more than a few static screens. See ? That's what the old project (1995-1997) looked like, with flip-screen implementation reminiscent of Monty Mole where it should have received Commander Keen-like 4-directional...

    Homebrew Bilou Engine revised

    Hello everybody. If you remember School Rush or Apple Assault, thank you. If not, well, I cannot blame you. I haven't got a new game yet, but I've been improving my game engine over the last years, with the ambition of coming with a Kirby's-Dreamland-sized project featuring my blue ball and the...

    dsgametools updated

    Oh, and by the way, I've got a 3-rooms demo (blog post) (direct download link) Not much to do but take doors to travel from one environment to another. Still much to update, but it gets slopes, animations and songs-switching, all of which the previous engine was unable to handle.

    Homebrew Bilou : School Rush

    Oops. My 5-year-old found out that I was missing a collision test, preventing him from dispatching those nasty pendats. Since it's easier for me to patch the game than for him to improve his aiming skills, I put the patch online Oh, and btw, I made another gif of it, so that you can at last...

    Homebrew Bilou : School Rush

    There we are. The last 'to do' items are completed. You can save your score, you can write your name. School Rush is at last over, after 5 years of development. Have a nice winter. May the source be with you.

    Homebrew Bilou : School Rush

    there are only 8 "challengers" (haven't completed the game) scores and 8 "heroes" game. The only reason would be not to trash the SD card with excessive writes (well, the score file being hardly 1 block, it would take you many many games before that happens, I agree).

    Homebrew Bilou : School Rush

    Almost done. Do you think it makes sense to offer the option **not** to write scores to the SD card ?

    So apparently you're the other last NDS homebrewer around ?

    Homebrew Pushing DS

    A few weeks ago, c_boy released a nice puzzle game for the Nintendo DS. Don't let yourself fooled by the presences of boxes to push and dotted squares: this is not your average Sokoban Clone. You can only operate the boxes with mechanical pushers, but you may also push other pushers, or used...

    Bubsy gets yet another chance in new game called Bubsy: Paws on Fire

    I played 'til the second boss of "Whoolies are back" and I felt boredom almost the whole session, despite I was a fan of the original game. There nothing been done wrong on a technical level, and no blatant flaws in the design, but it all felt generic, uninspired and un-fun.

    Comment by 'PypeBros' in 'blog entry 19: new os?'

    So far, the best I've found is apt-get-based distros, because it is so much better when you can apt-get source to get exactly what is running on your system, and then apt-get build-dep if you want to hack it and rebuild it yourself. That and having an Enlightenment package is all I ask from the...

    Homebrew Bilou : School Rush

    Thank you. I'm at last done with a new build. - you can get 1-UPs by collecting letters. Everytime you get one, the next one will be more "expensive", though. - every loading screen show how long it took you to get there and how far was that "there". - there is a "congratulations" level at the...
