Titan IDE (misc)

Luiz Fernando Nai Ribeiro is our hero of the day. The past six months he spent working on an Engine which compiles on the Sega Saturn and on the Dreamcast.

Sega Saturn/Dreamcast - Engine

Notes from the author:

Thanks to Johannes who created the libraries in C to access the Sega Saturn hardware and all the community who worked hard to make KallistiOS a good environment for the Dreamcast I was able to create a engine in C where I can make a game for both consoles.

Features of the engine:

– Draw maps and export for Sega Saturn and Dreamcast;
– Draw for the Dreamcast VMU;
– SpriteSheet generator;
– Integration with Notepad++ for coding;
– Integration with Dreamcast/Sega Saturn emulators;
– Compiling and generating the files in windows;
– Tool to export sounds in the correct format for Dreamcast/Sega Saturn.

Elsewhere, Ross discusses his love for Shadow of Mordor when viewed on a 4K screen, while Tom reveals his recent purchase of another PS2 and the differences between Ferrari F355 Challenge on the PS2 and Dreamcast. The main topics of discussion however, focus on the new indie releases heading to the Dreamcast (Hermes, Survival Code and Project Bennu), and the official 2017 Sega hardware calendar sold exclusively in Japan.

Hermes (TBA) (DC Game)

Retroguru of Giana’s Return and Sqrxz fame are heavily working on their new game Hermes. In this Jump’n’Run you must chase a chicken to get your stomach filled with delicious meat. The game is sort of anti-vegetarian and features a doubtful sense of humor. As all Retroguru games, it’s expected to see this game on several other platforms than just Sega’s Dreamcast.
