Nice finally an update

 

[mat88]

One of the best homebrew game for the DS

Why this is quite erection inducing

Why this is quite erection inducing

I concur.

 

[hogg]

anybody know how to get this to work with DSTT?

 

[m3rox]

hogg, you have to dldi patch it (if there is one for your card that is).

 

[hanman]

the DSTT doesn't auto DLDI patch?

 

[thebert]

I went to http://chishm.drunkencoders.com/DLDI/index.html as stated in the install.txt and there is no DLDI patch for DSTT. I thought DSTT had auto DLDI, so perhaps it's something else...? I get white screens on DSTT.

Edit: GBAtemp review confirms DLDI auto-patching capability. ...oh well, I guess we have to wait for another release...

Woops! Spelling error. Should be "defence".

Wrong.

Woops! Spelling error. Should be "defence".

"Defense" is the American spelling. Everyone else in the world spells it "Defence".

 

[bobrules]

cool I love this game.

Are you kidding me? Everybody but the US spells it wrong?

 

[PBC]

Lets think about this Defencive?? Or Defensive?? That C is a WMD which will not be permitted to remain under our american global police watch.

Judging by these results, that site isn't very credible. French, like English English, is clearly a dying language.

Pointless arguments on the localizations of the English language aside, I can't say I give two shits about how any of you spell it. What matters is how the developer spelled it, as thats how the application is spelled. If he wanted to spell it "Wracrow Toowr Defnz," then thats how it would be spelled.

No amount of Google Fighting will change that.

 

[m3rox]

Oh, I'm not allowed to bicker, but these guys are?

Anyway,
This homebrew seriously kicks @$$. Really enjoying it. Though I'm curious as to why Blizzard hasn't stepped in yet. This was in production long before starlite.

 

[Maktub]

Anyway, it's "defense". The fact that it's sometimes found as "defence" derives from a mispelling due to the many ways English language allows one to write the same sound. For example: Realise, realize... many people get confused between those two. For a non native it's easier to distinguish and avoid these errors, since they usually learn to write, then speak. It's not weird to see a native English teacher writing "warrenty", when it's actually "warranty". Just wanted to point that out.

About the homebrew, I must say I love it. I was expecting some sort of multiplayer would be added soon, but we'll have to wait. Thumbs up, nonetheless. Wasn't there some DotA port too?
