Nintendo DS News
kayvenm keeps up the work on his Descent port and brings us Alpha 3 for the Nintendo DS.
Changes:
New version. Been working on new features but it is taking longer than expected so here is a bug fix release in the mean time :
* Picking up a vulcan canon ammo auto-switched the primary weapon to the vulcan cannon even with auto select disabled
* Brightness setting changes in menus without being asked
* Wrong aspect ratio on death/escape sequence (see pictures below)
* Robot animation
* ambient sounds not working properly
* static in some sounds
* master volume is saved properly
New :
* Part of the work for rendering robots has been moved to hardware and should help improve speed when multiple robots are on screen.
* New sound engine
