Renegade is a simple FPS in 3D from scratch with a Quake model to shoot at. It is still in development but uses scripts for the level layout and enemy positioning. The map is a bmp colour map. It is being made with easy upgrades in mind…

Release notes:

Just a little xmas treat…. have put in a couple of simple vehicles and changed the key config.. oh and let you jump around a bit 🙂 enjoy.

D-Pad forward/back/strafe
AB jump
L Shoulder fire
X will eventually let you get into a vehicle, current just makes noise when pressed next to vehicle for debug….

Feel free to send any suggestions… I am sorting the height map accuracy and driving vehicles next 🙂

atari2600land has posted an update of his Atari 2600 homebrew game “Jack and the Beanstalk” which is based upon a fairy tale with the same name.

Release notes:

So basically is what you’re saying is you want the enemy to be smarter? I redid the enemy logic for level 1 so the enemy is chasing you instead of moving randomly. The speed may seem slow at first, but IMO, you’ll need the enemy to move this slow so you can move through the more maze-y screens.

Multiple:Option released “The Search Master – Metal Gear Solid Edition” for Nintendo DS.

Quote:

Get ready for the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Touch for iPhone with Multiple:Option’s latest effort – The Search Master: Metal Gear Solid Edition. Look for things, touch them, get points! Strangely addictive amongst friends for 5 minutes or so as you try to beat each other’s score.

Another B-side from me, following The Blackjack of Haruhi Suzumiya. Something quick and dirty for the MGS fans who like tile searching 🙂
