Revolution Engine v0.5 (Wii misc)

Revolution Engine is the very First homebrew 3D Game Engine for Wii. It is directly based on GX without any GL wrapper or anything similar. Natively designed for the Wii, this engine is probably capable of generating the best homebrew graphics ever seen on this game console.

Release notes:

More than a year later, a new version is released. With this version, the engine has been completely re-written and ported from C to C++. For the first time, this version of the engine comes with precompiled demos with source code that will help people learn how to use it faster. This version of the engine has been designed with flexibility and extensibility in mind. Users can create their own model format loaders and renderers, they’re own materials etc…and they will be full compatible with the core engine.

Gravity Glide v1.1 (Wii misc)

Gravity Glide is a toy that lets you play with momentum.

Release notes:

Here is an update to something that I’m not particularly sure anyone ever cared for. Its a toy and not a game.

I added “multiplayer” support so you can now use 4 wiimotes at a time. I added background music (White Cube Art Noise by essesq). Increased the number of gliders to 1000. Made them bounce when they hit the borders. I even improved performance.

v1.1 – August 12, 2010 – http://www.multiupload.com/GPLOZXZ4K4
* Added support for the simultaneous use of multiple wiimotes.
* Increased the number of gliders to 1000.
* Added music.
* Improved frame rate.
