Sonic r255 Released
Best Looking DS Homebrew Game Yet ?

Ritz has today released what looks to be one of the best looking Homebrew Games for the Nintendo DS.

sonic is the development name for my homebrew nintendo ds 3d game project. some notable features include skeletal animation, static & dynamic point lights, shadow volumes, skyboxes, picking, gravity and object & environment collision detection. in the near future i will build the game logic, a.i., scripting and i hope to include an interactive 3d map builder for easy world creation and object & creature placement

This new build came out yesterday

And it looks good

 

[NINTENDO DS]

This is a really rare combination of great programming, 3D models and texturing !

Wow this looks amazing.

 

[Ferrariman]

Oh my god. That's a Homebrew? other than the crappy font, I would have thought that was a commercial game.

 

[coolbho3000]

View distance aside, this actually looks BETTER than many commercial games.

Good work to the author.

 

[Ferrariman]

Holy SHIT! I SEE DUAL SHADOWS.
This guy needs to make this a Action RPG. I don't care if it is 256MB
EDIT: HOLY CRAP AA

 

[Cermage]

oh my god.

i've been craving this sort of game for the DS for awhile, i don't mind draw distance either =P

 

[Eternal Myst]

Yeah it looks awesome.
So awesome it made me go.

 

[Hyperlisk_]

That is insane! Talk about pushing the DS to its limits!

 

[leonheart_a]

Looks very nice. The whole background/city/area is from Neverwinter Nights. I knew it was from somewhere! Even so it looks very good.

 

[hova1]

[Ferrariman]

Some AAA company like SE or even Nintendo needs the buy this guys engine

 

[Eternal Myst]

Yeah the video amazed me.

its nothing much at the moment. has no boundaries as of yet. you can just walk off the side and you will begin to fall. has basic movement, a kick, a he makes a cheeky hand nose action thing. you use l/r triggers to zoom in zoom out, use the touch screen to rotate. and thats about it.

No, actually, you can select the other characters around the city and play as them too.
