Dawnseekers : démo
Voila, j’ai fini la démo que j’ai présenté à la compétition neoflash. Elle contient deux armes, deux maps et plusieurs types d’ennemis différents. Le lien de téléchargement
Petite description en anglais, copiée de neoflash :
Dawnseekers is a full 3D first person shooter for the Nintendo DS coded by myself, smealum, and with graphics made by Lobo.
This is a demo featuring two maps, two weapons and 4 different enemy types. It features a somewhat advanced 3D engine which can not only render very big and detailed maps, but also multiple enemies on screen at once, with some lighting effects (in the demo though, i didn’t have enough time to really get the lighting effects to work at their full potential again, sorry for the inconvenience). I wrote most of the code, with the exception of the base of my MD2 loader, which was first coded by the owner of tfc.duke.free.fr, then reused by Payk then finally reoptimized by myself (it can render up to four time faster now).
As far as gameplay goes, it’s a rather classic FPS; the goal is to kill without getting killed and to get to the end of each level. There is a backstory that I wrote, but I didn’t have time to implement the story telling elements into the demo unfortunately.
Here are the controls :
D-PAD / ABXY to move
R/L to shoot
Stylus to aim/change weapons (only the pistol and machine gun are available at the moment)
Select to open doors (this is very important)
Button in the lower right corner of the touchscreen to open doors
Start to pause
Since there are only two maps, there wasn’t much of a point in having a saving system, so instead Play launches map1, and load launches map2. It’s also possible to access map2 by completing map1, without having to use the menu.

Hi,
it’s been reported by multiple persons (including lobo) that the game has trouble running on the acekard 2. Other people have somehow managed to get it to work though, so you should make sure you have the latest firmware. Also, the white screens might be normal, sometimes EFS takes a few seconds to initialize, so try waiting for a few moments before shutting down next time you try.

Il y a un bug de textures dans la démo que j’ai releasé, il a été corrigé, donc à présent ça rend mieux. Tu peux voir des screenshots de la prochaine version ici : http://smealum.net/dawnseekers/WIP/textures/
Ensuite, si ce n’est pas ça le problème et que tu considères que même dans ces screenshots, les textures sont mauvaises, ben tant pis pour toi. Lobo a fait un excellent travail sur ces textures et ça aurait été difficile de faire mieux. Il ne faut pas oublier que nous sommes sur DS, on est presque obligés d’avoir des textures pixélisées…
Merci quand même.

Game loads up fine on my Acekard 2i but the stylus only works for a very short time (less than 2 seconds) before it stops working. I’m definitely gonna keep watching this for updates!
