Blue Emerald Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Can it be ported to the DS? I wish that this was for the DS so that I can play it anywhere! Considering the limitations on the DS' graphics, I don't we'll ever see this game on the DS; PSP has a way better shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Taxman Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Not going to happen sorry, the DS is a whole different kettle of fish. It'd require massive reworking to fit within how the DS does tiled modes etc, and I have no intention of doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christuserloeser Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Ok, for all the Dreamcast fans/nuts out there, I've decided to go ahead with a DC port for RSXG. It won't be out the same time as the PC/Mac/Wii version though since it requires more tweaking than a Vanilla port.As with the previous DC port, I have to retool the graphics to use hardware rendering instead of my own software library in order to get the full 60fps speed, and there will probably be minor graphics differences as a result. But hey think of it like Earthworm Jim 2, the graphics for that game looked different between Megadrive/Snes/Saturn etc. You couldn't possibly understand how excited I am to hear about this! When you released the RetroSonic proof of concept demo, I thought that having this engine on Dreamcast would be the best thing that could possibly ever happen to for any Dreamcast owning Sonic fan. The technical perfection you achieved with this port was just mind blowing. I am sooo glad that you decide to continue supporting Dreamcast with future releases of RetroSonic. I am sure that once you made available the RSDK we will see an awful lot of great [sonic] games made with Dreamcast in mind. Anyway, atm I am really looking forward to the game itself mostly! What I saw of RetroSonic/Engine so far (videos, demos, Nexus), as well as the screenshots of Sonic XG, does hint at something truly great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christuserloeser Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Well, I bumped it because I wanted to post something in response to Taxman's announcement. Btw, here's the link to the interview, seeing as the link in the initial post is dead: http://sonicstadium.org/tag/christian-whitehead Also, I noticed the following newspost at http://nexus.hrook.net/?p=113 April 4, 2009RSDK Updates to Version 3.2 Hey gang, I thought I’d make a post since there hasn’t been many Nexus updates as of late. While the others have been dealing with Cosmic Chaos and Pristine Palisade, I’ve been working hard on some major updates to both the RSDK and the Retro engine. The first thing ironically enough, is the removal of Sonic. What? I hear you say, well allow me to explain. It’s been mentioned before that since the 2008 revision of the Retro-Sonic engine, the scripting system allows for completely custom games. Now, the focus of the RSDK has shifted away from Sonic, to a multi-platform 32bit sega saturn-esque game engine. I’m actually working on a new game with the RSDK that isn’t Sonic related, but it’s very much under wraps at the moment The naming scheme is now as follows: Retro-Engine RSDK (Retro Software Development Kit) Now for a quick glossing over of a few of the things that have been added! The RSDK is now project based, which makes it easy to manage multiple games (in my case Sonic Nexus, RSXG, and my other game) I think that this is a fantastic idea! The possibilities of an engine like that seem almost unlimited. @ Taxman: Do you think that the Dreamcast port will have to be a game specific port optimized for RSXG, or do you think it's possible to keep it game independent so that all three current RetroEngine based projects could be run with it, at least in theory ?

Rael0505 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Erm, You realize you bumped a one month old topic... I don't see it as a big deal, personally, considering his post had some substance to it. A month isn't all that bad anyway for a fangame thread. It's not gravedigging, yet. Welcome to the forum, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
